Capítulo 243: Escape- Part 3

She turned around to make sure Calhoun was not following her right now. As Madeline walked, every now and then, she looked behind her. Her heart was beating too loud that could catch any vampire's attention. Taking a deep breath as she made her way through the halls and the corridors of the castle, she hoped not to be caught by Calhoun now. 

Madeline wanted to save her remaining innocense that was there before the King would get his way with her. The problem here was that Calhoun always found some way to bargain and twist her words, leaving her speechless as she didn't know how to deal with him. She wished she was smarter than him, and this was hopefully her being intelligent. 

She had tricked him by making him believe her mother was right there, diverting his concentration from her before she bolted out and away from Calhoun's side. 

Her footsteps were fast, and Madeline tried to ease herself by thinking that Calhoun was nowhere around.
