The Yule Ball

Sonia was convulsing on the floor speaking with voices that were not her.

"Sonia!" Descartes says kneeling beside her.

Elrohir stepped back quickly and went over to Maik. "I'm sorry, I thought she'd be fine.."
Maik pushed passed him and went over to Sonia, listening carefully to what she was saying. "She should go home." Maik said, trying to control her emotions.

Descartes nodded. "I'll take her." he says. He could tell Maik didn't want whatever Maik was seeing shared.

"Maik.."Elrohir said tenatively. "Are you allright."
"Thank you Descrtes." Maik said, ignoring Elrohir. She put her head in her hands like she had a migraine

Descartes gently picked his sister up. Wth a wave of his own wand he was gone.

Maik collapsed on the couch, her tears welling up though she was trying to stop them.
"Maik I'm sorry, I didn't think..." Elrohir started then gave up, sinking into the couch next to Maik and putting an arm around her.

Descartes had gotten Sonia to sleep. The nightmare off.

Aslan left quietly, turning back into a cat. He wandered, trying to find where Sonia lived. Maybe if she was allright, he could tell Elrohir and make him feel better.

"I saw him again, Elrohir," Maik managed through her tears." Saw him lying there...I remembered again what happened..."
Elrohir just held her tight and let her cry like she hadn't cried in years, hoping it would help.

Sonia and Descarte's house wasn't hard to find. A huge Mansioned fenced in with a huge gate with a huge cursive silver 'H' on it. The gate was open.

Aslan found the house without much difficulty. Since he was a cat, entering it wasn't difficult either. He slipped through the gate and prowled around the grounds looking for a way into the house

The Hubert mansion had a small doggie door in the back door.

Aslan sauntered through the doggie door and walked around the house listening for Sonia and Descartes.

"Are you sure Ms. Sonia's okay ?" One of the house servants asked.

"Yes, She'll be find. You should probably go check and do the rest of your duties, Julia. Thanks." Descartes said. He escorted Julia to his parents room. She was new just hired that day, he didn't mind leaving Sonia to rest.

Aslan ran up the stairs and dodged Descartes and Julia, hoping they hadn't seen him. He slipped into Sonia's room and looked around for her bed.

Sonia's bed was in the middle of the room. Her curtains were closed making the room completely dark with only the light of a single candle on her bedside table.

Aslan walked to the bedside table and hopped on top of it. It looked as if Sonia was asleep, and he didn't wish to disturb her.

Sonia turned over and yawned.

Carefully Aslan reached out with a paw an batted her arm to see if she'd wake up.

Sonia groaned. "Yes?" she asks not fully recognizing the cat. "Aslan?"

"Yes." Aslan replied with what passed for a bow. "Am I disturbing you?"
