As soon as Leopold had disappeared up the stairs with the guards following closely behind him, Narcissa turned slowly to face Ada.
Ada looked around her in a panic as a vicious snarl erupted from Narcissa's mouth as she stalked menacingly toward her.
Ada backed away hastily, wanting to shout for help but unable to open her mouth to do so as a cold wave of terror washed over her.
"There's no escape from me Ada so don't even try!" Narcissa hissed as Ada's back connected abruptly with the cold hard surface of a wall and she whimpered involuntarily.
Narcissa snorted at the pitiful sound as she pulled to a stop abruptly right in front of her, and dragged her eyes over her face in disgust.
Ada screwed her eyes shut under her mother's intense gaze, trembling violently as she held her breath waiting for the impact that she felt sure was coming from the palm of her hand against her face.
