    Summary

    It's on today's schedule, in bold red letters - a one hour slot, close to lunch in the twisted irony most things in his life seemed to have. Maybe Scar had made it that way, just to spite him.

    Feeding.

    The meal had already been selected, left to Grian's own choice, long auburn hair with a tired look in her eyes.

    That too had been cruel, Scar dropping off the task to him: I'm hungry, he'd said, and for a suffocating moment Grian had thought things, much more terrible things than a stranger to sacrifice under the vampire's sharp teeth.

    Even now it presses down his skull with a weight impossible to escape, forcing him to bow his head at the knowledge that it was his own hands who chose which of his kin to offer on the butcher's altar.

    This might have been a sign of trust, were the circumstances different: what greater proof of affection than to eat the warm meal prepared by hands you had faith would do you no harm?

    As it is, it feels like a leash around his unblemished neck, a noose putting him on the tips of his toes as he calls for another to join him on the gallows.

    Or: Scar feeds on someone in front of Grian. They are both so normal about it.
