The following days brought no news about the attacks and Iris had to return to her daily tasks despite the tumult in her heart. She started waking up in the middle of the night to check for strangers inside her room. Ray promised the spell on her room is still intact and no one with devious intention can enter. The words provided little comfort but didn't stop her nightmares.
Before her almost nightly wake ups, she always dreamt of running, trying to get to safety as a loup garou was chasing her through the forest. She ran and ran, sometimes seeing everyone from that day dead on the mossy ground. Most times she searched for a safe place and saw Benjamin, but his figure distanced from her, fading behind the trees leaving behind only a shinny dagger.
