As they walked back to the inn, Anya noticed a strange change that seemed to crawl across the island. As night fell, people began to retreat indoors and the streets seemed to empty themselves instantly,as the last rays of light retreated into the sea.

When they reached the inn,Alexander kissed Anya's hand.'Thank you for today' he whispered.'So will I see you tomorrow?' asked Anya shyly. 'Will you see the sun rise tomorrow? I`ll be coming with it' grinned Alexander. 'Anya,two things. Do not leave this house after dark. Do not be tempted no matter what. And do not ever walk around in town if there's a thick fog.'

'I can understand your first request,but I'm puzzled by your second request. After all,I've been through fog banks aplenty at sea.' replied Anya,puzzled. 'Look, I need you to trust me alright? The fog around here..isn't normal.Please don't go out' he pleaded.' 'Alright,I promise.' said Anya.'Goodnight Anya.Wait for sunrise tomorrow morning.' he grinned

Anya had a strange dream that night. She dreamt that she was back at Aura's Point,in Alexander's arms. As they grazed out at the sunset, Anya noticed an old lady dressed in rags standing on the beach,grazing at the lighthouse with a scowl on her face. As Anya turned to ask Alexander who she was,she realized that he was gone! As she turned around,she came face to face with the old lady!

Anya stood rooted to the spot,shocked. How had the lady climbed such a steep cliff in moments?. 'You have what I want,now give it to me!' the lady croaked at Anya,waving her thin fist at her. 'What are you talking about?' asked Anya,terrified. 'His candle. I need to destroy it. Give it to me girl,and I will reward you,else I'll curse you for life!' The lady's arm closed upon Anya's wrist and she cried out in pain. The lady drew a dagger,and raised it,screaming 'Give it to me!'...

'Anya! Anya darling wake up! Its just a dream. Wake up!' cried Capt Johnson as he shook his daugther's shoulders. Anya woke up screaming,and clung to her father,bursting into tears. 'Shh,Its alright darling,I'm here,it was just a bad dream. Calm down,calm down...'whispered Capt Johnson as he comforted his daughter. No one in the inn slept anymore that night.

The next day,Alexander came to visit. As he entered, Mrs Henderson beckoned to him.'Alexander,where did you take her yesterday? Anya's had a bad dream,and from what I gather,the Old One threatened her.' 'What! But this is impossible! How did she find out?' cried Alexander in shock. 'I dont know son, but its best if you come clean with her soon.' Alexander sighed. He knew what had to be done to protect Anya.

As he entered her room,she looked up from her work. 'Oh Alexander! I had the most horrific dream yesterday,theres was this women who...' Anya cried out. 'Its alright I heard all about it from Mrs Henderson. Its going to be fine,I promise you.' said Alexander ressuringly as he held her hands in his. Anya paused. 'There was something she kept repeating.She said I had somebody's candle,and she wanted to destroy it.'
Alexander's heart froze at those words. How had she known? Perhaps he should tell
Anya everything.

Anya noticed his worried look.'Whats wrong,Alexander?' she asked,grasping his hands. 'Its nothing. I was just wondering about how weird your dream was.' said Alexander. Anya was unconvinced. 'But never mind that, I actually came to ask you something important.' said Alexander. 'Yes?' asked Anya,wondering what had Alexander so worried.'

'Well its just that I have no proper attire for the Spring Festival,and as I didnt want to embarrass you,my date, I was wondering if I could go dressed like that.' asked Alexander. 'Well of course you can, i would'nt mind...wait what?' asked Anya. 'There's a festival in town thats starting tomorrow,and I was wondering if you would want to go with me? asked Alexander smiling. Anya blushed and said 'I'd love to' she stammered.

'After the festival.' Alexander thought as he grazed at Anya. 'I'll tell her after that' he promised himself
