Now it was official, Cateline was losing her mind. She had been sitting on the exact same spot for 3 hours now and even though it was a pretty comfortable chair in the Mihael common room, she felt as if the walls were coming closer and closer. The girl really needed to get some fresh air before she got completely insane. She stood up and walked some unstable steps. Her legs were completely numb as she had sat for a too long time. After stretching a bit Cateline was able to move again. She sighed and made her way to the door. This walk was going to take her more effort than she might have thought in the first instance.
The walk towards the great oak doors that lead towards the ground seemed to take hours, instead of the usual 5 minutes. Cateline was sure that it could have taken her 10 tops, but it felt as if she had been walking all day. As she opened the doors and some fresh air filled her longs, it did her good just as she had supposed it would. How much time would she have until curfew? Cath wondered. She wasn't really a breaking the rules kind of girl. She looked at the sun, it was still pretty high on the horizon. It would at least take another hour for it to go down. This meant that Cateline had some time left before she had to back to her dorm again.
She was very glad about that as she was really enjoining the fresh air. (And the thought of all the stairs she'd have to climb scared her a bit) Of course she could open a window in her own dorm, and she'd get fresh air as well, but that was just wasn't as good as a nice stroll. Cateline had no idea were she should go. She had already been at the lake and the rose petal lane. Hadn't she heard something about a garden or so? A beautiful garden that was a gift for the Headmistress. Yeah, she believed that was the story. She hadn't been there before, so it was probably worth a visit. Besides, if it wasn't, she'd have time to go somewhere else before she needed to head back towards the castle.
It wasn't hard to find the way towards the garden. It simply was the most colorful spot on the whole school grounds. Expect of maybe the part in the grass were a fifth year was lying with a rainbow colored t-shirt, but that didn't count. Flowers, everywhere! Cateline didn't know where to look. She wasn't that fond of flowers, even though her mother had really been into gardening. Still, the sight of so many beautiful flowers made her gasp.
She walked past the bushes and her blue/green eyes shot from bush to bush. At this moment the girl could use about 8 spear eyes. Suddenly she spotted a girl sitting upon a bench. Cateline wondered why she hadn't seen her before, but supposed she had been too distracted by the flowers. After hesitating for a second she decided to walk up towards the girl. She heard the words that the girl had been singing. "Atreyu." She said. "Are you a fan?" She looked at the girl sitting there, and decided to remain standing until she was invited to sit down, or not.
