The girl gasped as she sat up in the bed. She was breathing heavily and sweating. She took a shuttering breath and tried to breathe normally. She looked around and remembered where she was. She looked at the window and saw the sun nearly at full height in the sky.

Shakily, she got out of bed and put on her clothes. She put everything else of hers in a corner of the room and wandered, shoe-less, to the bathroom to wash her face. She decided she would ask Gordon if he had coffee. She really hoped he did. She left the bathroom and continued to the library.

"What do you mean there's a girl here?"

The girl stopped. Someone was talking to Gordon. She felt the fear and looked around for somewhere to hide. There was a cupboard just beside the library. She ducked into the cupboard and closed the door only most of the way. She wanted to hear what was being said.

"She broke in last night. I think she wanted to steal something. She's quite a nice girl though, and she's a sorcerer too. I don't think she's aware of what she is. She doesn't even know her own name. She tasked me with finding her a new one." He sounded proud saying that. The girl smiled slightly. She wondered who he was talking to. She debated just introducing herself, but at that moment, a tall dark-haired girl stepped out of the library holding the stone and started down the corridor towards the bedroom.

"Why? What name did you give her? Where is she?" the tall girl didn't look happy.

"I haven't heard her. She might be still sleeping. I was thinking Morrigan McCord." 

The tall girl and Gordon Edgley walked past the cupboard without looking at it. She waited until their footsteps faded and then peeked out. She didn't see them, so as quietly as possible, she made her way downstairs and towards the kitchen. She had almost made it through the lounge-room when she heard a voice.

"Who are you?"

She stopped and closed her eyes slowly. She hadn't checked if anyone else was here. Now she was in trouble, and Gordon couldn't help her.

"I said, who are you?"

She put her hands up slowly and turned. When she laid her eyes on the person who spoke, she was shocked. Her eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat. The voice had been male but standing in front of her with a gun pointed straight at her head, was a skeleton in a suit.

The girl frowned. She opened her mouth, but no sound came. The skeleton thumbed the hammer back.

"Morrigan,' she said quickly,' Morrigan McCord."

The skeleton didn't say anything. He didn't move. Morrigan frowned again.

"And you? Who are you?"

"You don't get to ask the questions. You are trespassing."

"I know. I'm sorry. I didn't realize that last night. I heard a girl upstairs and I just ran. I didn't have anywhere else to go." She didn't know why she didn't mention Gordon. Just didn't want him to get into trouble, she guessed.

Suddenly a flame came straight for her head. She gasped and held her arms over her head. Her force-field went up and the flame hit the shield.

Morrigan looked up and saw the tall girl. She was holding Morrigan's things. She wasn't happy.

The tall girl looked at the skeleton.

"She needs to explain."

"Yes she does." The skeleton hadn't turned away from Morrigan at all.
