Darkness has as many meanings as Light

Today I had some great ideas for use in my third chapter!

The girls wake up at the 'butt-crack' of dawn for their interview, which is about when it was supposed to start. Maybell is woken by the sunlight that shines through a crack in the wall/ceiling that she had not noticed until then. She goes to get Cindy out of bed and sees her asleep with her head on the windowsill, face pointing out to the sky in the direction of the Castle (opposite sun, where the light has not yet hit). Unaware of significance of her younger sister's positioning, she gently shakes Cindy awake and then tosses her the clothes she would wear for the interview. (Since the interview is in a half hour, the two need to get ready very quickly while not making a mess of themselves).


So far, this is most of what I have, though I noticed a few details I can strategically place into the chapter, after the girls take off toward the Castle (still needs a name). I am going to look into shortening the distance between the town and the Castle so that the time frames for the events at the Castle (see chapter 1 summary) will work with the events with the third chapter. I hope to bring everything together as I work to finish my first draft of this chapter, since the story is going to start picking up pace as the girls near the Castle grounds.
