There was a knock on Maria's door an hour after she had received a threatening message. She didn't know exactly where she got the strength from, but somehow she managed to open the door. On the other side was Ursula wearing a worried expression on her face.
"Are you okay? Your guests have been searching for you" she said worriedly.
"I'm okay, I just have this pounding headache. I think I'll just retire for the night" she lied not quite ready to give out details of the threat.
"Oh. So what do we do with the guests now" Ursula wondered more to herself than anyone.
"Leave it to Marco. He knows how to handle crowds" she said and faked a yawn to add to her deceit.
"Yeah, you look super tired. You should rest. Are you sure you don't need a snack or something?" She asked.
"No Ursula. Sleep well so for now" she replied and with that, Ursula left and Maria went back into her room.
