Panic rising, Laurent's mind blurred, thoughts dwindling to a single flare of terror. The situation was too much for him, too close to all his secrets, which would put him too close to being caught, trapped, hurt...
He stood fast, walking from the room. Fleeing. But there was nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide. The layout of the lair was open. There weren't many doors, only archways and high ceilings. It wasn't designed for hiding from people.
Laurent's heart was stuttering, breath rapid, head spinning. He was awash with panic.
Unsteady, he wobbled, leaning heavily against a wall just outside of the room. He needed to flee. He didn't know where to go. He hadn't not had an escape from something since he'd arrived here, because he'd always been able to retreat here. But now, within his lair, there was no where to hide.
