I mean, the very middle of the night. Our dormitory was pitch black. “Bryony, are you awake?” Izzy’s trembling whisper came out of the darkness. “Yes,” I whispered back. “Did you hear that noise?” “I’m not sure…something must have woken me up…” I switched on my little night light. Then I looked round the other four beds in the dorm, but the rest of our friends were still fast asleep. After a moment, when my eyes had adjusted properly, I could see Izzy’s pale frightened face. “Don’t worry, Izzy. It’s probably just one of those creaks you sometimes get in old buildings.” But even as I was talking, I was thinking, What rubbish, because our boarding house, Forest Ash, is only about forty years old. I mean, that’s not exactly ancient. “Where do you think the noise came from?” Izzy whispered. “I couldn’t tell.”
