When Eve and the others arrived back to their room, they could already hear a distant rumble of thunder. At first, it was barely audible yet everyone in the room knew that a storm was coming.
Dark clouds soon rolled in swiftly, obscuring the moonlight that cast shadows inside the room.
Soon, maids arrived to help them prepare for bedtime.
Not long after, they lay in their beds, the scene from earlier still haunting them.
Eve fell asleep while thinking about those women's fate.
However, her sleep came to an end as the storm started roaring to life. Lightning illuminated the room.
Her eyes fluttered open. Slowly, she sat up in her bed and stared at the dark room that would be occasionally lit by the burst of lightning outside.
She could hear the rain lashing out against the windows, creating what seemed like a symphony of tapping and splattering sounds that echoed through the room.
The wind howled outside, rattling the windows.
