A Threat Reawakened

Everyone slept after the argument last night.

Raven and Vivian woke up early the next morning, but Vivian woke up earlier than Raven because she heard some noise coming from downstairs.

Vivian checked her table clock, and it read 6:45 AM. Her normal wake-up time was 7:15, but an extra thirty minutes was something nice to have. She often slept with her beast, the Seraph Leaper, because it was fluffy and comfortable. They were curled together.

Rubbing her eyes, Vivian rolled out of bed and walked to her windows to check out what was responsible for these sounds.

The sun was rising at the same time she was parting her curtains. The estate welcomed the sunlight. The bird ponds, the hedges, the roofs, and the gates. It also smelled like earth, stone, and grass.
