Chapter 234: Darcie and Dobby’s Nightly Adventures - Pursuing Greatness!
After the guests had gone, the manor fell into silence.
The embers of the Bonfire were glowing red even after midnight, molten fire dancing within as the wind kissed them. The many Jack-o'-lanterns were still hovering around the manor, but they were sleeping as well, a few snoring, blowing the candle within them.
In her room, Darcie was sleeping, her eyelids fluttering as if she was having a nightmare.
-... Come ... Darcie ... Here ... -
Darcie's eyes snapped open. She sat up, and gulped, her head bobbing around in all directions. She was just dreaming of the white serpent again, and she could've sworn that someone had called out her name in her ears.
Despite her composed bearings, a trickle of fear was now welling up in her heart. Never had the whispers and the murmurs sounded so clear to her before. "Who's there?" she demanded.
No answer.
Darcie had just relaxed when the wind whistled in her ears.
- ... Come ... follow ... -
Darice's head snapped towards the doors. There was something outside. With her heart in her mouth, and finding courage in her magical prowess, Darcie stepped off the bed, slipped on her sandals, and walked out of the bedroom.
The corridor leading to the Drawing room was lit with braziers, fire burning low within them. Her parents' bedchamber was to the left at the end of the corridor, and the drawing room was to the right.
