One moment Madeline was standing and talking to Calhoun, and the next moment, she was somewhere in an unknown place, not in the castle. The village she was standing in was empty with no one around. The sky looked almost pink and red with traces of purple filling in it.
Was she dreaming? She was, thought Madeline to herself. Moving her hand forward, she called, "Calhoun?" But it didn't seem like he was here.
Madeline felt something tickle the side of her feet, and she looked down to see soft grass on the ground. This was not right. She wanted to get back to the castle right this instant! But how was she supposed to go back? She closed her eyes, hoping to return to the castle, but when she opened, she saw the same empty streets and houses in front of her.
