Colette was silent as he spoke, and decided that it was better if she stayed that way.  She waited for him to leave before turning around herself and leaving the area, making sure to close the gates as she left.   Her heart had cracked when he had spoken in that broken voice.  She never wanted to hurt him, but either way someone had to die.  She made her way back to the bad side of the city, where she and her comrades were staying for the night.   It was a shabby inn with little to no heat, but it wasn't much different from their normal living standards so it wasn't a big deal.<br/><br/>When she had returned, a few of her superiors had yelled at her and demanded her location.  Obviously, she lied.  Colette made up a convieniant story about how he had decided to get to know her surroundings by exploring the city.  She would still be in trouble for going off so far without telling anyone, but it was better than being found out for being with a member of the royal family.<br/><br/>After getting ready to sleep, Colette had switched to her nightgown and went to her room.  She sat in the bed and watched the sky for a bit.  Sometimes she wished she could go up there and join her father in the stars.   'Maybe then I could forget about all this....'<br/>After a while, Colette decided to lay down and go to sleep.  She found herself laying restlessly on the hay filled mattress.   She couldn't get her mind off of Caleb.
