The location is the same as last time; the old shed behind the school.

Only this time, it's much darker. In fact, it's about six in the morning.

Once she's left the school, Demeter heads into along the road, trying to figure out the best way to watch for Carlotta without getting caught again.

Carlotta sees the ribbon, but doesn't manage to get out of the school unnoticed until nightfall, when she sneaks out just before bedtime.

"Demeter?" she whispers, getting near the gate and hiding in the shadows.

Somehow Demeter is there, its hard to hide so and she's feeling rather uneasy,

"Yes, I'm here."

"I'm awfully sorry, it's been difficult to get out..." she stops, spotting a torchlight in the grounds, and decides there's nothing else for it; she scrambles over the gate and drops next to Demeter, pulling her into a nearby bush.

"Don't apologize, I found the bracelet but everything else has been more complicated."

Demeter pulls a veil of a sort over them so even if someone peers into the bush they won't be seen.

Carlotta keeps very quiet until the man with the torch goes away.

"Come on." she says, getting her key out to open the gate. "If I'm not back in time for bed I'm going to be for the high jump."

[wheatencrown]

"You'll get back in time if need be I can cheat somehow to help you."

Demeter follows her as quietly as she can.

Carlotta keeps close to the wall after locking the gate, and looks around carefully before coming around the front of the shed.

"Okay, let's go."

She takes Demeter's hand, and leads her through the door.
