It was then evening.@Inn:Everyone was asleep; except Mannan, who was out for nightly prayer in the temple - under escort of Danya, Dag and Alexander who was pulled into the job simply because of his imposing posture; and Chris, who was perched on a chair in the shadows of the corridor leading to the three bedrooms, of which the middle one was resting place for Seyena and Valor.
It was shortly before midnight when Valor heard a clink above his head; at the window.
@Charlotte:Meanwhile...
Charlotte had the weirdest of nightmares possible. There was Mannan, and Danya, kissing for a moment in the middle of the room, in front of Charlotte; after a while they looked at her with extreme disgust.
"Look at her, barging like that into affairs of others. Has she no tact?" "That is a trait of low-born, unworthy scum. Hell, I bet that she is having an affair behind Gregor's back. Nothing surprising considering her lineage."Someone appeared at their side; Dag.
"That is the worst thing to do, young lady. Consider what you have done. Do you want others to barge into your life like that?" The words turned into slurry nonsense.
"Such demeanor is worthy of a harlot. You're breaking Gregor's heart. How could you?"Then someone appeared at Charlotte's side; Gregor.
"Charlotte... I trusted you... how could you?" "How could you, yeah? That's lowest of low, Charlotte." "For shame... I thought you're better than that, how could you?" "Dissappointing, really. How could you?" "Oi, how could yah?" "How could you?"The voices and faces began to appear en masse and flood Charlotte's ears with the question 'HOW COULD YOU!?' and they didn't stop; they picked up in intensity and volume.
And suddenly, Charlotte's mind jerked awake, and the nightmare ended instantly.
