Claude awoke to hearing something thud against the wall. His eyes flew open and he leaped out of bed when he didn't feel Stella sleeping next to him. Sniffing the air and locking onto her, he was right beside her in a blink. More than surprised to see her soaking wet, Claude wrapped her in a hug and tried to warm her up. "What's wrong, my love? Why are you all wet?" He was so confused. Then the scent of blood came to him and he saw the red cloth. His blood ran cold, it smelled like her father. What was going on? Her father ran out the front doors to the village, didn't he? Claude had a vague memory of when he first shifted in front of her and scared them both. So what was a cloth covered in blood doing on the other side of the castle, on the second floor balcony, covered in blood? Claude picked Stella up an brought her over to the bed, and then went to get her a towel and some dry clothes.
