There were traces of something bloody being dragged. They glanced at each other, doubts swimming in their heads. Did they take another victim and decided to kill it? But for what?
Stephan swallowed and opened the door, followed by the other two. Ernie already sought refuge in Aurora's shadow. Stephan was about to whisper to the other two that there was nothing when his eyes landed on Ragya, completely covered in blood and weakly bandaging herself.
He shot to her immediately while the other two closed the door behind them. She raised her head, one of her eyes was plucked out and her wings were cut into pieces, her feathers missing.
"How…?" she hesitated. "You came out. This is unexpected. I thought that you would stay there for days, you only took five hours to get out," her eyes returned to her missing right hand while the other one was still bandaging, trying to stop the blood.
"What happened?" Stephan squatted next to her.
