Part 17, Smoke signals
(Marks's POV)
Silence falls over the castle, I wonder if everything is alright. Neon is cheerfully chatting with a storekeeper as I look back at the castle. Grey smoke puffs out of a smashed window. Neon notices me looking and heaves a sigh.
"We might as well check to make sure everyone is alright." She said, finally giving in as she pulls me back towards the castle, her skirt rustling as she walks.
As we get closer we see Silvermay standing guard with two others in navy blue uniforms with silver armour plates on top. Amongst all the people I can't see Regan anywhere.
"Where is Regan? Where is my sister?" I hear Neon yell out, concern and worry tugging on her words. A servant in navy blue tells us she's locked herself in her room. Neon sprints off, I have a hard time keeping up as she bashes through the front door; I stumble up the stairs after her. Neon slows down once we come to a set of double white doors with gold handles and golden decorative trim. She tries the handle with no prevail, then proceeds to bang on the doors, screaming for Regan to open the doors.
I can hear footsteps inside, slowly and hesitantly coming towards the doors. There was a soft click then the door slowly opened revealing Regan. Her face is all red and blotchy from crying. She looks scared. Taking a deep breath, she opens the door fully, letting us step in. Neon went straight to hugging Regan. Looking around Regan's room, I notice it's the room I saw in my dream. Heavy red velvet curtains cover most of the large bay windows, blocking out the sunlight. I see a small semi-circle balcony connected to one of the large windowed, double doors. Small patches of sunlight slip in through the gaps. As I look around I hear footsteps then a door shutting. After a moment I hear water running, I take that as a cue to leave.
