Tanya's POV
Those questions were paused the instant I arrived at the said stairway. It was rarely used and therefore was a bit dark but with enough light that permitted me to see the steps and not go tumbling.
The voices became louder and I quickly descended, hoping my feet wouldn't make too much noise to alert them of my presence. My heart beating erratically in my chest, I kept rushing downward, my haste not permitting me to notice that my feet were indeed not making a sound.
I had almost reached them, and was able to see two females. The darkness prevented me from seeing their face and hair color however I was able to observe that one was kneeling with head bowed and the other was standing authoritatively.
A few feet separated me from them and so I decided to slow my pace so as not to make my presence known. Gradually, I descended the next step and that single action was all it took for their scent to hit me and for my suspicions to be confirmed.
