Allen was about to reply when Cecilia noticed something on the roof. He squinted his eyes, trying to see past the rain, "I don't see..." The moon was seen partially in a thin line along the rooftops. "What the hell?" He turned to Cecilia, "Well, that person is still far away from the Â castle, so it may be some lunatic running rampage along the roofs." He thought of the broadsword which he kept under his bed. "The guards should be able to stop her, I have full confidence in Captain of the Guard, Michaelis."<span style="font-style: italic">Should</span>that word alone was enough to get someone killed.Â<br/><br/>Allen turned his head, "Just make sure that everyone is in their quarters before the candles go out."<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>She walked to the pair of guards who stood guard beneath the archway leading into the castle, turning abruptly to the left and beginning to scale the slippery walls in silence. Her strong arms tensed, lifting her lithe body higher and higher. Now she was on the battlements of the walls which encircled the castle. She sprinted, keeping low and moving fast, crowns of water burst forth from the puddles as she Â went past.Â<br/><br/>She crouched, panting and waiting. She looked out at the castle, most of the corridors were dark the brightest source would be the Grand hall. She pushed off once again and climbed down the slippery stairwell, nearly slipping again on her way down. She slipped into one of the corridors through an open window on the first floor.Â<br/><br/>She skipped, wrangling her coat and boots to get rid of the excess water before gliding, quite literally down the marble floor on soaked soles.Â<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Allen broke his train of thought, to take Cecelia's mind off the possibly hostile presence, he asked, "I think, we should dance once more before this ends. Shall we?" He gestured towards the dance floor just as the mini-orchestra began to play yet another song.<br/><br/>[mp3]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31448429/SOE-Opera.mp3[/mp3]
