Mikah fell into an almost dreamless sleep. There was no feeling in her body, her bones, her mind, until suddenly she felt something soft press against her cheek. The first time this happened, she ignored it, thinking it was only in her head. Stress had obviously been taking a toll on her head. After a while, she felt it again. Although wet, the feeling was gentle. It was rather relaxing. It happened again, and again, and again. Knowing that what she felt wasn't a dream, Mikah opened her eyes. She was surprised at what she saw.
There, sitting right next to her, was the man she had encountered before. He was sitting right next to her, holding a hankerchief that she could obviously see was smeared with her own blood. How long had he been there? Mikah was confused, and the frightened and embarassed look on her face definetely showed it.
"I.....I'm so sorry," she said, slightly trembling. Her eyes flickered from the cloth to his mask. She slipped out of the tree and unto the muddy ground. "I didn't know what i was thinking...sorry if i bothered you...." Before she left, Mikah noticed that the rain wasn't falling around the tree. She glanced back up at the vampire one last time, and with a nod of acknowledgement, she retreated back into the rain. Was that the best 'thank you' she could offer?
Her heart still didn't feel like entering the castle, so Mikah continued to wander the gardens. She hoped no kinsmen were around, for fear she would be questioned. She made her way over a small bridge, and in front of her lay two paths. On the left side was a tall hedge maze, and on the other side, a dark forest. She stood between the two, not knowing which way to go. As she made thought about the choices, she couldn't help but wonder what that man's name was.
