A sudden loud knocking sound brings Alya back to her senses. No longer lost in her thoughts and dreams; she instantly becomes aware of her surroundings and turns around to see a folded note pushed under the door.
Alya's heart skips a beat as she moves quietly over to the bed. Who knew she was here? She had not told anyone that this was to be her destination. Nor had she arrived on time, Alya had actually arrived 3 days earlier than she had originally planned.
Looking closely at the parchment of paper half pushed under her door, several thoughts flash across Alya's mind; "Who knocked at the door?", "Are they still there?", "What does the note say?", "Where is it from?", "Is it a trap?”
With all these thoughts spinning and revolving around her mind; Alya slips a hand under one of her pillows and pulls out a long black dagger.
