Bella POV
Whispering Pillars
I lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling. I was very unnerved by the dinner. Under Alzor's charm there seemed something else. Something ancient and cruel and fearsome. Suddenly the whispering pillars didn't feel very safe. I looked up at the red sandstone ceiling and wondered if we would get to leave soon.
I turned and tossed and wondered what we could do to get away from here as fats as possible. This mission felt like it had tanked even before it had started. I spent a lot more time staring up at the ceiling and I never realized when I fell asleep.
There was pounding at the door.
I woke up with a start. It was still dark, but someone was definitely at the door. I got up and peeped out of the keyhole and saw Iris standing there.
I opened the door a crack and Iris pushed her way inside, she was pale.
"Something is very wrong here." she declared as soon as she walked in.
