Chapter 96: Funeral- Part 1

"Why didn't you tell me about this, Aunt Priscilla?" asked Leonard to find his aunt sighing as she looked at the mansion that stood tall.

Aunt Priscilla spoke, "We didn't find about it until we received your letter about Mr Wells thoughts. Charlotte spoke about the boy for the first time. I never knew anything about it, I doubt anyone did," the vampiress frowned her words soft and feeble due to the loss of her daughter, "Her father didn't approve of it when she brought it up. He...he hasn't seen the humans in the eye after what happened with Julliard and the others; he was trying to protect her," her words trailed which was filled with pain.

Leonard quietly listened to his aunt speak and then asked, "Did she run away? Did she run away from the house?" not receiving an immediate answer he repeated his question.
