everyone paused for a while then laughed Shanely looked shocking at her family 

" awh! you find amusing that a sick nobleman kid is after me!" she pointed 

"no, no were not" Taecyeon said between his laughs 

 

Shanely groan and rolled her eyes " laugh all you want" she grumbled , as the night passes everyone enjoyd their stay with laughter and story telling of their younger years, soon it was time return back to their homes. Shanely bid good bye to her family as she return back to her studies to finish her work. 

her Studies were dark and the only light came her small lantern on her desk. she read the papers clearly and wisely as she signed them . as she read her papers she felt beating dark eyes looking at her. it her jump and turn around facing the large window behind her seeing nothing but clse curtains.

"AAAAH!!" Shanely scream as she jump in her seat she found herself in her studies yet again  but no black figure that was trying to eat her. she look around and saw the curtains of the large window drawn close. Shanely stood up and pulled the curtains open only to see the large shining moon shimmering down to her. she turn and look around the room. 

"just a dream..just a dream" she sighed as she went back  to seat and resume reading the papers 

but she cant help but feel nervous and anxious to the ominous dream she had. could it be a warning to her?
