Confrontation- Part 2

Madeline had only left Beth's room. Walking in the corridor, she realised something that took place some time ago in the forest near the cave. When she got near the forest, there were guards guarding the place around the cave, but when she stepped out of the cave, it was like the guards had vanished. Had she imagined it? Madeline asked herself as she continued to walk. 

On her way, she met Lucy, who was walking in the opposite direction. The vampiress looked spaced out as she walked like she was thinking something deep and wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings. 

When they came near, Lucy offered a small smile to Madeline, bowing her head. 

"Are you alright, Lady Lucy?" Madeline asked in concern as it seemed like the vampiress was often falling sick and she stayed in her room most of the time. 

"I...I will be alright," Lucy sounded tired, and Madeline wanted to make sure that Lucy got to her room safely.
