CHAPTER XXX

Aidan and Josh follow the others who are currently in the room of one of Blackwood's daughters. This room is similar to the others they have been in, empty and rickety.

"Hey." Winter approaches the two young men. "Where have you been? Did you guys find anything interesting?” she asks them hopefully.

"Nope," Aidan replies flatly.

“We will sneak downstairs, where Alfred was holding one of his daughters. You want to come with us?" Winter whispers as she creeps out of the room with her two friends.

The two young men exchange looks. It doesn’t take long for them to reach an agreement. They follow Winter and her friends. The five of them walk slowly down the stairs, trying to avoid as much creaking as possible as they pass the wooden floor. Winter leads the little group into the hall, then turns toward the back of the stairs. They pass through a larger room, perhaps once where the Blackwood family received their colleagues during their visit.
