Bella POV
Whispering Pillars
I wore the robes that lay on the bed after my bath. They were simple rustic robes in a light print. I found them odd, but I wore them. It was all right. I walked out into the darkness now lit by lamps all across the courtyard. There was no one around and I peeped, till a hand grabbed me and another came over my mouth. I tried to struggle, but there I could not move.
"Silence .." a voice hissed.
I stopped struggling. It was a female voice. I kept still. The voice had felt familiar. I stood silently waiting, as the person let go of me.
"Keep silent, I am removing my hand from your mouth." the girl said again.
I kept silent waiting for the hand to move.
"It's me Iffindora."
I sighed in relief and then kept quiet as she turned me around to face her.
"You must leave soon, once your friend recovers a bit, " she said to me urgently.
"Of course," I whispered back, "That is the plan."
