Horror struck her like a bolt of lightning. That had been no side comment or lucky jab! She could feel her ears plaster down against her head under the hat. How the fuck could he tell?! Her ears were still safely under her hat, she knew they were! What possible other giveaway could she have?
"I-- You-- How--" She struggled to find words with some sense, face deep crimson and fear gripping her heart. Forget vampire. This had to be something else. Had to be, had to be, because if it wasn't, that meant anyone could tell what she was, and her great-grandparents had been right.
Of course, that meant that she'd been sent to the house of some strange thing that was also a stinky drunk asshole that wasn't going to buy her books, which meant Jason was definitely still getting his ass kicked. Someone was for this. It would have been the dick in front of her, but despite being eighteen, she did have a few licks of good sense in her. She wanted to shove him through the door, close it, demand how he knew, but suddenly she wasn't so sure she wanted to slam the door behind her and someone who could tell she spent half her day as a puppy just by looking at her. Her mom had been a stupid cunt to some random asshole, once, and now Bree was the one with dog ears.
She was just deciding to maybe take her lashes and leave to take her rage out on someone a little safer--no matter how much that was a face that deserved punching--when the man unexpectedly gripped the box and pulled it closer. And her with it, because she wasn't letting go of the box with all of her most valuable possessions in it; period.
She was no slouch; she'd spent all of her free time reading or working out, and as a result had gotten very, very good at both. But he had her pulled halfway through the door before she even realized what was happening. She went no further mostly just because he didn't pull her any further.
"Hey, if you're not going to buy them, don't--" she began, but then he pulled something out. Something that should not have been in there.
"That one's not for sale!" she yelped, one hand dropping support of the box so she could grab at it. That was probably the oldest book she owned, not in a technical, age-of-the-book sense, but just in terms of how long she'd had it. She'd had very few visits with her mother as a child, mostly because her mother was a scant 16 years older than her, and also because Bree was basically a mistake that ruined everyone's life and traumatized her mother by existing.
On the first of those visits she could clearly remember, her mother, barely old enough to drink, had given her that book, an illustrated storybook designed for much older children. It had kickstarted her enjoyment of reading. She'd read it so much that it was barely intact anymore, pages threatening to fall out of the binding. How it had gotten into this box, she'd never know. Thank god he'd seen it before she'd just up and sold the whole box for a lump sum or something horrible like that.
