Chapter Thirty-Nine

Caroline drops the diary in horror. “H-He’s vampiric-” A sudden flood of fear, and anger rushes through Caroline's body.

Feeling somewhat courageous, Caroline leaves her chamber, and walks down the hall to Cecile’s office. She flings open the door, startling Cecile. “Caroline? What are you doing here?!” She walks up to him, and throws the letter onto his desk.

“You killed him!”

“What are you talking about? Who?” He asks.

“Elton. You murdered him you blood sucker!”

All of the comotion alerts the maids. Caroline lunges at Cecile, but before she can reach him she is apprehended by Iris.

“What is going on in herre?” Valencia asks, as she comes into the room.

“She’s gone mad!” Iris yells.

“Lock her in her chamber, till we know what to do with her.”

Iris grips Caroline’s arm tightly, as she escorts her out of the room.

“Cecile, are you alright?!” Valencia asks, running to his side.

“Yes, but she knows…” Cecile whispers. “What should we do with her?” He looks up at Valencia, who smirks. “I’ll handle it.”
