Last warning (1)

Selene returned home with Xavier by nightfall. Rather than leave her childhood home after the trap and the bat following them, Selene searched her old room, which had been turned into storage, for any more clues.

Nothing stood out to her, but Selene was able to find a few things she cherished. A few of the books she read as a child remained, and while they were no longer in the greatest condition, Selene planned to place them in her room on the estate.

During the ride back home, Selene's mood changed for the better. She was worried about where her parents were now, but since they could be alive and well, Selene wanted to remain positive. She would continue her life as it was before and wait for her parents or grandfather to come to her.

"Milady," Agnes greeted Selene.

"I am sorry I worried you, Agnes. Time got away from us. Please have a warm bath prepared for us," said Selene.

"For us to use at the same time?" Xavier questioned, intrigued.
