Chapter III

Sebastian

Admit it to yourself! Sebastian thought, You have no idea where you are going! Where is her house?

A quiet rustle in the bushes next to him made him jump. "W-w-who's there?" he trembled. After remaining there for about five minutes, he was sure that whatever made the noise was now long gone, so he continued on his way.

He finally found Miranda's house. As he was running over, he realized that he needed some pebbles. How else will I get her attention?

Once he found a few small stones, he ran over to her window and saw someone in a black hooded cloak, pulling himself up by a rope. Backing up slightly, Sebastian saw that who ever it was, was climbing to Miranda's window!

Oh no! Trolls! he thought, running to the rope and beginning to climb up.

Yet when he got up just past the first story, the cloaked figure looked down, and seeing him, swung up into another open window. Then, it poked its upper body out of the window again, now holding a knife,. As soon as Sebastian saw this, he tried to scrabble down from his height, but the figure had already cut through the rope.
