Elizabeth sighed. The constant deprivement of sleep had gotten annoying after a while, yet she knew, that struggling meant only less time to sleep. They had to get over it. So she said, "fine," and adding a, "I'll do it right," under her breath.

They pulled the same chant of again, waited, then again. Nothing happened. The three of them sat there silent in the darkness, looking at the paper they surrounded.

"Did it move?" Gwen asked curiously. Elizabeth shook her head.
"Nothing's happening at all," Meredith muttered dissappointed, while the excitement took a flight to the far-off land of Funania.

They looked at the talisman, the paper, the runic markings. Everything was right, should've been right. Elizabeth frowned, "yet again, I've been woken for nothing," she said sarcastically.

Gwen immediately let go of both of their hands, reaching for the scar with the tip of her finger. She was thinking. This shouldn't have happened. It was like always and it slowly began to annoy her. Her thoughts raced, while Meredith herself sighed.

"I hate to admit it, but Elly is right," she set a pause before adding, "again," tiredly. "We should just go to bed. Don't worry about the homework, who knows, maybe Miss Scarlet herself has forgotten all about them.

It seemed like Gwen was too deep in thought to actually listen. The girl stared at the candle, whilst it's light shone warmly on her face. Elizabeth used that chance to stand up, "Put those things out, will you? I want to use the bit of time remaining for sleeping."

Meredith nodded and moved towards one of the candles, to blow it out. At that moment, Gwen's eyes moved up.
"I've got it," she said. Both of her companions looked at her, wondering.
"You got what?" they asked simultaneously.
"Tomorrow is a first school day, right? That means newbies. And we've got one bed free. We're going to get ourselves a new Roommate!" She declared cheerfully.
And this concluded the prologue, with the two others gazed at her with questioning looks.
