Cassandra felt warm sleeping in her comfortable bed. However, her blood froze when she caught sight of a figure in the dark from the corner of her eye!
It was looming around the corner. She could not recognize who it was. It was just sitting there quietly, not moving.
Cassandra dared not do anything boldly. She covered herself with the quilt carefully while staring at that figure anxiously.
After what seemed like an eternity, the figure suddenly moved and stood up slowly.
Its shoulders moved up and down in a heave of sigh. Then it turned its head from left to right, and walked out of the room at a very slow staggering pace.
Through the dim light from the corridor outside, Cassandra saw its face all of a sudden.
It was Courtney!
Her skin seemed to be paler, and her face bore no expression. There was something odd in the way she walked. It was really slow, rigid and unnatural as if she was a puppet.
Then an idea occurred to Cassandra. She covered her mouth to stop herself from making any noise.
Courtney was sleepwalking! On the back of her mind, she recalled that sleepwalking happened in one's dream and the sleepwalkers were unconscious and didn't know what they were doing.
Cassandra was both surprised and curious. She remained silent and watched Courtney walk out of her room silently.
After Courtney left, Cassandra rolled out of bed. A precarious idea haunted her. She wondered why Courtney sleepwalked to her room and where she would go next.
With that thought in mind, Cassandra tiptoed and opened the door. Courtney went to the next room. She opened the door and walked in.
Cassandra followed her carefully. She didn't enter that room. Instead, she crouched down by the door and peeked inside.
Courtney walked to the walk-in wardrobe and opened the door. A ginormous closet filled with countless pieces of gorgeous garments surprised Cassandra.
"Not this one, nor this one..."
Cassandra heard Courtney murmuring. Her pale and thin hand stroked through the rows of fancy dresses.
'Is she looking for a special dress?' wondered Cassandra.
Finally, Courtney closed the door and turned around.
She continued murmuring, "No, no...not here. It's not here..."
Cassandra saw her walking towards the door of the room. She didn't want herself to be discovered. So she hurried to her room secretly.
Courtney repeated her act going into one room after another. She would open the door and walked inside to search for something.
