Chapter 8: Breaking point (1)
In the dead of the night when the mansion was meant to be quiet, a chilling scream filled with terror reached Selene's room.
Selene sat up, alarmed by the scream which scared her for reasons she didn't know yet. It wasn't common to hear this kind of scream unless a human had found themselves the source of a vampire's meal.
Selene moved her covers and got off the bed to investigate. Something about this didn't sit well with her.
Upon exiting her room, Selene heard faint cries she thought to be from Cassandra after listening intently.
"You're safe now," Selene heard Gabriel's comforting words.
"Agnes?" Selene whispered, puzzled by the sight of Agnes standing by the library door with her hand covering her mouth.
The fresh scent of blood in the air made Selene rush to the library. The smell was familiar and the scream started to make all the more sense as to why it gave her a bad feeling.
Selene stood before Agnes and peered inside the library at the horrifying sight which both scared and angered her.
Gabriel had his arms wrapped around a tearful Cassandra like any lover would but what alarmed Selene was the sight on the floor. Her beloved maid laid lifeless on the floor with her head torn from her body.
