To be honest, Andrew was simply looking for a moment's reprieve from his roommate. It was a little more bizarre than he could take, sharing his bed with a little girl. Though he was very tempted, he hadn't previously been aware that one small person could be so very annoying, Andrew escaped from the cell without killing her just yet. He couldn't promise that her would be able to last for very much longer.
With only minimal wandering, Andrew found the library and entered, looking around somewhat reverently. He had always held a fond weakness for literature, and at least it was quiet in here. Frowning slightly at the tacky furniture, he scanned the shelves for something to pass the time an calm him down some. So far this place was all wrong. He had skipped breakfast and lunch both so far, unable to stomach the thought of returning to prison food just yet. Not after the lavish feasts Jay had treated him to daily... and their final moments together. His last meal.
Momentarily, he eyes lingered over the works of Tennyson... Wilde... before succumbing to the temptation of picking up Bram Stoker's Dracula. Turning the book over in his hands, he examined it thoroughly. a first edition, and yet it looked to be only a year or so old. Smiling coldly to himself, he turned the first page, the edge of which neatly sliced through the pad of his index finger. Hesitating only for an instant as his poisonous blood slowly pushed itself form the tiny wound, Andrew brought the cut to his lips, licked the droplet of blood away and sucked lightly.
Closing his eyes, he tried to forget where he was, and he wondered if he should be able to taste Jay in the very life that flowed through him now when he hear the door open and instinctively turned to see who had dared to intrude on his one sanctuary.
