I wake to the sound of crows cawing and for a moment I wonder where I am. The room is in darkness due to the heavy blue curtains hanging over the window. I tune into the gentle sound of breathing. I click on my phone torch and turn my head. Stella is asleep, her arm flung over her face as if she is blinded by my light. A movement in the corner tells me Fiona is awake. It’s almost seven o’clock.
Je me réveille au son des corbeaux qui croassent et pendant un instant je me demande où je suis. La pièce est dans l'obscurité à cause des lourds rideaux bleus suspendus au-dessus de la fenêtre. J'écoute le doux bruit des respirations. Je clique sur la lampe de mon téléphone et tourne la tête. Stella est endormie, son bras jeté sur son visage comme si elle était aveuglée par ma lumière. Un mouvement dans le coin me dit que Fiona est réveillée. Il est presque sept heures.
What happened last night? Did we hear that pipe music or was it a dream? As if Fiona can read my mind she sits up and pads across the floor. She perches on the end of my bed.
"Do you think we should tell Nell about hearing the music," she whispers.
"Why shouldn’t we? You have to admit it’s a bit creepy."
"Rose, this whole place is a bit creepy. All those tunes linked to our names. This separation. Only five of us in this wing. And no means of communication to the outside world. I was supposed to phone my mum to tell her I’d arrived."
I nod. "Yeah, me too. "
