I awoke with a thud... I'd fallen out of bed.
“Lilly... are you all right, my dear?” said a concerned voice as the light was flicked on and my grandfather rushed in towards me.
“I heard you scream and then there was a bang,” he said worryingly.
I explained I'd just had a strange dream and it had made me fall out of bed. “I'm fine. No need to worry,” I said. But I couldn't help but notice that he looked a little preoccupied.
“A strange dream?” he'd asked.
“Just a dream, Gabriel. People have strange dreams all the time,” I laughed. “It's okay, I'm fine, go back to bed. I'll see you in the morning.”
He said nothing more, except to wish me a good night and he switched the light back off as he left me to think about the ravens and the cats and that exhilarating feeling of flying.
