Elise didn't know how to digest the situation. She could get the faint idea of what happened but somewhere a part of her was refusing to accept what she could take. She looked at the wood on Carmen's hand and it was clear what Carmen was trying to do, "What are you saying, Carmen?" Elise looked away from the vampire, her eyes falling to the other pieces of woods lying on the ground beside her.
"Where is Vella?" she asked after trying to wrap her mind around the situation. She saw Carmen's eyes that had always looked at her with a confident and witty smile, now stared with fear and guilt. "Please tell me, Carmen!" Elise pressed her lips.
"She found that letter. I've tried to hide it, but Vella found the letter!" Carmen yelled. She walked away from Elise to pushed the door closed behind her before pushing the boot to lock the place.
Elise became more alarmed and she took another step behind with her hand ready on her sides. "What letter?" asked Elise.
