Elora POV
I ended up falling asleep, only to wake up in a panic when I roll over to find Silas and Dragus still aren’t back and in bed. Sitting up, I look to Matitus, who is snoring beside me. Quietly hopping of the bed, I head for the door and sneak down the stairs. The entire castle is quiet, all the lights off and the heavy drapes closed in every room. The stone floor cold feels wet under my feet as I head to the front of castle.
Walking to the door, I find no shoes, when I remember I left them in the bedroom. Not wanting to risk going back to the room and being caught, I pull on the door handle. The heavy doors creak as I sneak through. My feet sink in an inch of snow and my toes instantly ache, as I peer out to find overnight heavy snow had fallen coating everything white.
