Daniel had just retired to bed after having a shower. He was lying with his arms under his head staring at the ceiling in the darkness, his phone on his chest.
He had sent a good night message to Kysenia and so far had not received anything back.
His ears pricked up as he heard what sounded like something on the roof.
His room was on the second floor, which was actually built into the roof with a dormer window, so if something was on the roof it was right by his room.
He heard a scraping noise by his window.

He sat up when he heard a tap-tap on his window.
What the hell is that? His heart thudded in his chest.
He heard it again, a distinctive tap-tap on his window.
Then a voice…it was a harsh whisper-shout but he recognised the voice instantly
