Veronica look through her window and smiled as night finally descended. she stood up and quickly made up the bed as if no one had touched it in a long while, put her hood over her head and hopped out the balcony window into the night. she walked next to the palace until she was in the dark town. no one was around except for a few poor and homeless people roaming the streets. she walked down the street and down another till she was in an alleyway. she walked up to a door that was on her right side and walked into a dimly lighted room. no one was in the room except for a figure sitting in the corner covered in black. she walked over to it and it stretched out its hand and veronica knew what it meant. she reached into her pocket and took out the shirt scrap and placed it in their hand and it closed and retracted itself. after this she left the room and proceeded to retrace her steps back to the palace, careful not to be spotted by anyone. she was right underneath her balcony window before she actually got back and began to climb up it. Veronica went inside her room which was dark now, undressed into her night pajamas and relaxed softly into sleep in her bed.
