The moment she pricked her eyelids apart, the first thing Uriel saw was her own lap under a short skirt. She had just woken up from her unconscious state and still had a vague idea of how things had gone beyond their expectations.
She pivoted her bobbed head left and right to find nothing but stones. Walls of stones and a floor of stones.
"Oh! You seemed to be awake."
A female voice echoed loudly and clearly inside the stone room. The slight repetition of the voice indicated the enclosedness of the place she was in.
Uriel cautiously tried to raise her head and find the source of the voice. What unfolded in front of her was a familiar face she remembered seeing earlier this day. The same scarlet eyes that keep fixing on her.
"Aren't you the vampire maid who accompanied Mr. Maximilian to the meeting?"
The woman chuckled at her question. "I am glad you remembered my beautiful face."
