Was it a coincidence how the vampire king ended up in Lourdes? Or was it planned to distract everyone from more important things? After all, Lillian surely knew that since he had overcome all the established protective barriers, he could harm her people, so why didn't she come to the rescue?
Why didn't she interrupt the sabbath? Was there anything more important than her own people, whom she set up with such trepidation for the upcoming fight against vampires?
All these questions stung Nicole's heart like a sharp needle, leaving a wound open.
But more than that, she was haunted by the disappearance of the young witches. Why did Lillian choose to hush up such a terrible fact? Why didn't anyone go looking right away?
Her jaw clenched to a grinding of teeth, holding back the lump in her throat. Nicole has never been an overly open person, but this did not negate the fact that she could sympathize and empathize.
