It was still a couple of hours before dawn when the Mongrel purred into the garage. It was late enough, though, that she could at least pretend to believe her family might be asleep, and that would do. She really, really did not want to have to talk to them; didn't want to have to explain sneaking out, or the bruise on her face (with little crescent-shaped marks where she'd dug her nails into it), or the puffiness of her eyes from crying. Not right now. All she wanted to do, right now, was kill the throbbing pain in her wrist, get herself to bed, and sleep - or maybe die.
She didn't head in through the front door, not wanting to walk all through the house and disturb Kieran and her parents (if they were asleep, please let them be asleep). Instead, she scrambled up the wooden cladding of the house, her climbing more reliant on her power than usual; she was tired, drained, and any pleasure she might have got out of the old, familiar routes up the house would have been spoilt by her mood.
At last, she clambered in through the always-open window on her side of the attic, glancing over at Dan's side of the room as she landed, as softly as she could, inside.
