บท 419: Three Counts- Part 1

Music Recommendation: The soul of the Piano by Dmitry Myachin

Madeline sat on the bed, her legs softly swinging as she waited for Calhoun to return. It had been more than three hours since they had finished their supper and an hour since she had returned to the room after leaving Beth in Raphael's care who had offered to stay back and looked after Beth. Somewhere, it worried her that the creature, Salavete Mortem, would return for Beth. 

She was careful when it came to making use of her abilities. With Calhoun not here in the castle now, Madeline believed it was better to refrain her dark angel abilities unless a dire situation arrived where she would need to make use of it. Stopping her legs from swinging, she brought her hand up to take a look at it. Standing up, she walked to the cupboard and pulled the black book which she had hidden beneath the clothes, so that even by mistake, someone would not come to find it.
