In the darkness of the night no one noticed her flying across the sky.
Reaching the castle she landed on the balcony of her room. She wanted to stay away from the sights, so she decided it would be the best if she went straight to her room.
Cause, in her room no one enters, unless you was called by her and if there is someone present inside her room without her permission, it would mean terrorism towards her and the nation or worse direct death on the spot.
And even if she decided to land on the terrace, what a silly move, the terrace of the castle will be filled with people, obviously, the people who will be in the terrace to guard the castle from above. So, she decided her room would be the best.
And about her secret only few people in the castle knew, not all the servants.
Looking down on sleeping Andrew, she called for him.
"Andrew?"
"Andrew?"
Trying her best to wake him up gently, but it was useless, as he was sleeping so peacefully that she felt bad for waking him up.
But, this was just a thing, the main thing which had captured her mind was Joseph, she knew that he might have went outside to look for her and as the ghouls were still outside in Neverwas, this was dangerous for Joseph.
Not like he wouldn't fight them, she was just worried for her right hand, because she cared for him.
They have spent years together, she knew him and he knew her, they would do anything to save eachother from any harm coming their way.
Their bond was very powerful, more than a relationship between a servant and the boss.
And even if she try to send a signal to Joseph, it would be useless because the neverwas a place where your powers will become weak or worse you won't be able to use it.
She headed inside her room with sleeping Andrew in her arms.
She carefully placed him on the bed, not to wake him up, but when she was about to leave her room and go search for Joseph, she felt that her gown was tucked into something, she shifted her gaze down to see what caught her dress and found that Andrew was gripping onto her gown, preventing her from leaving, she signed and tried to get his hand off her gown, but she stopped when she saw Andrew moving his lips as if he was saying something.
Isabelle bent down, brought her ear closer to him, so she can hear him.
She heard.
"Red"
Andrew was mumbling the nickname, he once given to a girl, he met months ago.
This got her in shock!
She moved away from her current position and repeated the same words.
"Red?" A frown appeared on her forehead,
"How you still? No I don't have time for this"
Gritting her teeth, she shifted her gaze from Andrew to the wide open window, looking outside, but soon she turned to look at him, and slowly brought her hand to his neck, to choke him, but before she can choke him, she cursed herself.
Isabelle freed her gown from Andrew's grips, but some blood which escaped from his hand got onto her gown.
She jumped down from her window and while falling she vanished and reappeared at Neverwas.
It was raining, heavily raining, due to the rain drops, the path was not visible to see.
The forest was dark because of the damn in the night.
Her body and her gown got wet in the rain and now was sticking to her skin.
She entered Neverwas to get Joseph from there.
Walking through the forest, she knew what to do, she knew that Joseph must have went to where the ghouls went because the ghouls goes to where a live is or a soul is.
The searchers always follows the ghouls to find the missing person rather than randomly roaming around the forest, wasting there own time and also increasing the risk of the person's live.
Walking through the forest, her steps caught speed and she ran through the forest while following the flying ghouls in the sky, because of her heels it was hard to run, so she threw her heels in the side of the pathway.
Her jewels and herself getting super wet in the Strom, her black hair wet, sticking to her neck and collarbone.
Running through the forest while following the ghouls she found Joseph standing alone in the rain, with his sword out, ready for a fight.
She called out for him.
"Joseph!"
Joseph standing all alone in the Stromy weather, rain falling from the skies and raining on the soil, making the soil, muddy.
His fair well built body getting wet, the rain drops sliding down from his clothes and falling on the ground. His wet locks sticking to his forehead, water sliding from its ends, he kept his eyes open on the heavy rain and his white clothes which he wore had also gotten wet in the rain and because of it, you could see through it, his white shirt sticking to his fair skin.
Joseph who was ready for a fight, stopped in his tracks when he heard Isabelle's voice from behind
"Isabelle?" He questioned himself, like he was doubting, about what he heard was true?
He turned around facing her to see for himself, if it was true or lie.
"My lady!"
Happy to found her, he walked to where she was and spoke.
"My lady, you are getting wet in the rain"
His voice manly and deep like a ocean.
He held his both hand over her head to shelter her from getting more wet.
"What do you think, I don't know that I am getting wet in the rain?"
She turned her head to the where the ghouls were.
Those ghouls were gathered in the old house, where Andrew and she was taking shelter under, two hours ago.
Some ghouls inside and some ghouls outside or on the roofs.
Horrifying, bone chilling thing was that one ghoul slowly licked off drop of blood which was on the floor with its long tongue.
The ghoul's soulless eyes turned bloody red and that ghoul turned to look at Isabelle, as if that sensed her presence in the area and seeing her that ghoul vanished.
The blood was none other than Andrew's.
"Ah shit, now that ghoul has tasted his blood what a headache"
She said in a serious tone.
"Shall I kill that ghoul for you"
Joseph suggested, his voice being calm like usual.
"You cannot kill that ghoul with just a sword you know and we can't use our powers here"
"Take it as that ghoul had it's luck that he tasted the angel's blood"
She said looking at the spot where the ghoul was.
"Where are the searchers? I will not believe if you say that the butler did not send any"
Isabelle shifted her gaze to Joseph.
"Those searchers are not alive anymore, they are died, my lady"
Joseph said with his voice being calm.
"Joseph let's go home"
Joseph gave a light nod to her and exited Neverwas.
