It was complete silence inside the carriage; no one dared to speak a word, not even her. Her brother and teacher looked to be furious; it was frightening.
She didn't know what happened. But her teacher suddenly said that they were going back to the Blue Rose, but didn't tell her the reason.
She was happy that she was finally going home, where she didn't have to worry about surviving to the next day, where everyone adored her, and where she could continue to grow at the academy with her friends. And where she could finally challenge that book.
She looked out of the window, seeing how the people of the Withered weirdly came together to watch them leave with happy smiles on their faces. She didn't think they did anything bad while they were here, so it was strange to see.
Her teacher seemed to be even more enraged seeing this sight, Keres too.
She wondered what was going on inside her master's head at the moment. She could never guess what he wanted to do, what he was thinking.
