Bruce hurriedly walked out of the secret door after shutting it behind him, then he moved through the tunnel until he was out of the castle.
Elena stood at a spot taking in enough air, then she exhaled slowly in an attempt to get rid of the tension inside of her as the figure with the fire approached, coming closer with each step.
"Elena! It's you. I have been in search of you for a while now!" Ethan said as soon as he sighted Elena at a corner in the dark passage.
"What are you doing all alone in the dark?" Ethan asked scouring through the ambiance to know if anyone was around, but there was nothing. He drew closer to Elena and touched her by her shoulder making her to stutter inwardly with a slight gasp.
"Nothing Lord Ethan. I was just trying to get some time to myself, it's been a hectic day." Elena responded trying to hide her face from Ethan but he raised the torch in his right hand towards her face to get a clearer view.
