460 Apple and the tree- Part 3

Madeline finally reached the last step of the stairs, and she quickly went to Calhoun's side, and pulling out the knife that was in the shoulder and saw blood drip down from there. She was ready to turn and ask Vladimir on what was wrong with his head, when she caught sight of the knife that was stuck in Vladimir's face. 

"Are you alright?" she asked Calhoun anxiously. She placed her hand on his shoulder, and before she could even part her lips to whisper a spell, Calhoun caught hold of her wrist, and put her hand down, leaving her puzzled.

She now understood why. He had made her promise so that she would not put herself in danger, but she had done it anyway as she was swayed by emotions after Lucy on the ground.
