Chapter 39: Chapter 38

Ellie followed Miranda to Asmodious study. They went inside the empty room and Ellie sat on the chair. Miranda began to teach her the rules and etiquette she would need for the court of the king because of Ellie's natural ability to pick up information quickly it was done within a day. They made dinner together and set the table. Remy and James joined them. They ate silently until their bellies were full then retired for the night. Remy didn't follow Ellie to her room so she sat on the edge of her bed watching the sun set. It had been a while since she hadn't spent the night with Remy and it left her feeling cold. She understood though. She knew he had to prepare tonight for their journey tomorrow. As the darkness crept into the room Ellie felt her body become invaded by a chilling presence. She quickly glanced around the room in a panic expecting the worse. But no one was there. Ellie brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly in an attempt to dispel the cold air around her. After all this time was he coming to her again ? Was the darkness after her again? A faint light appeared in front of her eyes whispering in a language she did not recognise.
