Autumn glanced up nervously from the piece of paper clenched in her hand to the castle in front of her. She couldn’t believe this was actually happening. She had been so certain this was all a dream but the voice in her head assured her that this was in fact reality. After Disaster had told his story and everything that happen, Autumn had to pinch herself several times. But it did explain what had been happening in the last month. Mrs .Cole had been suspicious when Autumn had showed her the email and after a lot of pleading and questioning what else it could be, the old woman finally relented and sent Autumn off to the castle with a demand that the girl call every night or sent an email, [i]something[/i]. So now here she stood, anxiously gazing up at the place that could hold all her answers.

She took a deep breath and hesitantly walked up to the large doors, timidly knocking on them. She was biting her lip nervously, an action Mrs. Cole had tried to break her of for years to no avail.
