Now though, it seemed that the cat was out of the bag. The whole castle had been sleeping peacefully, but a sudden loud bang around midnight had woken up everyone at the same time. It was so loud that the ground had shaken violently, with trinkets and little items falling off from shelves and tables. When people had awoken, they had realized that there was different in the air - it was intensely charged with something savage. There was a general feeling of unease among the occupants. Like there was something watching them from the shadows, like something bad was about to happen.
