The Beast's Ugly Wife
Not when the worst thing that could happen, happened.
I had a dream.
In it, I was also in bed with Prince Noah. Everything in the room was quiet, and I hadn't fully woken up yet. Through my half-closed eyes, I saw the full moon through the windows. The trees were just silhouettes, and suddenly, something moved among them, so fast that my brain barely registered it completely. Not until the window was already open, and to my utter horror, the shadow was right there, leaning out before us, the moonlight reflecting off the blade of the dagger he held in his hands.
