Lily's POV
She was here! I was overjoyed but all I could say was that I was glad the window was open. Now there was one more step to go: sneak into the storm without my parents knowing.
I tiptoed over to the kitchen. My parents were asleep, but they were light sleepers. Very light sleepers.
A big sssnnnnoooorreeee made me almost jump out of my feet. I stopped for a second, paused as my dad went back to sleep, and continued tiptoeing. This was going to be perfect. My only regret was leaving Myra behind. She was just to young for this.
Myra's POV
Footsteps. Yes, I heard footsteps. I could ask Lily about them. Maybe they were Winter's. But no, the winged girl had promised to meet us at the shed. I would ask Lily. She always knew. But when I turned over to her bed, nobody was there
What happened? Had Lily been kidnapped? Had she left without me? I did not answer myself. I plunged into the unknown dangers of the world.
