 The couple decided to travel straight to the Salian clan the very next day but around midnight, Emmy sensed an unusual disturbance while sleeping. She woke up to drink a glass of water. Feeling the bedside empty, Alex also woke up from his sleep.

"What happened, Emmy? Did you have any nightmares?" 

Emmy shook her head, "Alex, I feel heavy in heart, as if someone close to me is in pain. I have never felt this way before."

Alex quickly opened the windows and let fresh air enter the room. He fetched the glass of water and made Emmy sit on the bed to drink it.

"Just give me a second, I shall quickly come back."

Without wasting time, Alex jumped out through the window scaring Emmy for a moment. Later she realised that this fellow is the same as her, so Emmy sat there without bothering about where Alex could have gone.
