章 284: The Witch

      Vincent was exhausted so it didn't take him long to fall asleep.  As soon as he was, Delaney slipped from the bed, careful not to wake him.  She found her cloak and boots in her old bedroom where Ms. Bird had unpacked them from the chest but hadn't had a chance to put them away yet.  She pulled them on and hurried out to find Harris.

      The others were still in the dining room.  She could hear them talking, likely having some wine before going off to bed.  Thankful they were distracted, Delaney hurried out the front doors, eager to not be spotted.  If Miles or Violet found out she was trying to sneak out they would try to stop her.

      She moved quickly along the front of the manor, staying in the shadows as she walked towards the corner where Harris should be waiting for her.  She was relieved when she could finally make out the shape of him standing with two horses saddled and ready.
