Eiffie was extremely tense. Forget that she met with the same situation after several years. She did not expect that Mr. Hades would be implicated this time.
There was a momentary chaos heard from outside the cellar. Mr. Hades seemed to be in a brawl with that assailant, and was screaming terribly.
"Mala, I have to go out. I can't let anything untoward happen to Mr. Hades because of me."
"But, Young Mistress…" Miss grabbed Eiffie's sleeve.
"If something happened to Mr. Hades's family because of me, my soul would never be forgiven," Eiffie told Mala.
"Let me go with you then," Mala said with resolution as she let Eiffie go.
Eiffie held a dagger, and climbed up the stairs. She turned the lock on the cellar door, and pushed it open with all her might.
As the cellar door opened slowly, the terrible cries became even more distinct.
