Flora tossed and turned most of the night, the feeling of unease trying to rob her once again of a peaceful night's sleep. She could still hear that awful chattering sound echoing in her dreams. She just couldn't escape it, couldn't ignore it.
There was that girl again, still bound by the golden chain, still with the haunted hunted look writ across her features. She couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl, whoever she was. She saw the wild look of fear pass across the girl's features as it seemed that she too heard the sand merk's. Flora reached out her hand, trying to offer support to the other girl. She let out a gasp of horror when she saw the other maiden drop bonelessly to the ground, as if someone had robbed her completely of her senses.
"Help her!" Flora wanted to scream at the boys, but her throat was paralyzed and no sound came out. "For the love of all that's holy, help her! Your heroes! This is what you were trained to do!"
A sudden noise drew Flora's attention upwards. There was something there - she couldn't quite make it out, but it frightened her.
She bolted clear up in bed, her body shaking from fear. "Just a dream, just a dream." Her green eyes darted about the room, almost as if she was looking for something, someone.
