It was movie time, six months after Alberts arrival and tensions in the house had hit an all time high.
They were all gathered in the living room, Horace sat in his regular seat. Suddenly, a dream flickered on the wall. But this wasn't a normal dream.
Someone was hunched over on the floor, their blue and black hair splayed across their back, sobbing.
"Please" Alma begged "I didn't tell anyone"
Suddenly, something long, thin and wooden was brought down sharp across the woman's back, something that looked a lot like the cane that everyone was all to familiar with.
Lorelai spun round to look at Alma, who was staring at the floor. Her gaze shifted to Albert, who's had was clasped uncomfortably tight around the birds arm. When he noticed Lorelai's stare, he let go.
The dream flickered again. The wall was black, but a sound was now echoing around the room. A song which was well known in the house.
Suddenly, the dream showed a thrashing ocean, a struggling man and a flash of a pearl white tail.
It changed again.
A woman was sat on the floor of Alma's bedroom, another woman curled in her arms, dark hair clouding her face from view. The woman with the dark hair was rocking her back and forth, whispering something the room couldn't hear.
The dream faded. Alma switched the lights back on then hurried out of the room, soon followed by Lorelai.
"Alma" She called as they reached the kitchen "Alma wait a moment"
Alma was looking out of the window, leaning heavily on the counter
"Please" She begged "I just want to be alone right now"
Lorelai walked over to her and perched on the counter. Alma looked away, but, gently, Lorelai took her face in one of her hands.
A few tears had leaked from the Ymbrynes eyes.
"It- It's not what it looked like" The bird said.
"Alma I'm no idiot" Lorelai replied, fiddling with a strand of the birds hair "I know what I saw"
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming down the corridor, along with the tapping of a cane.
