Bab 270: Meeting her

Marianne pov contd…

"Marianne, what are you doing?" asked Cassius, jerking me and only then did I notice I was standing on the stage already.

But I didn't seem to remember when I climbed on it. I swear I was just  walking to see the face of the woman perfectly.

Her eyes were opened and she was looking at me with a smile as if she knew my bewilderment. But when I looked at others, they were looking at me with anger. Their eyes were furious as if i disturbed all of them while they were doing something important.

  Cassius bowed his head in apology, but I still did not get it as if I was hazy. As if something had pulled me here and I was not in my senses to understand it.

He held my hand and took me back to the ground. But I kept turning back, looking at the oracle.

He brought me away from the crowd who were looking at me strangely and only then did he leave my hand.
