"It is so good you came madam" Nelly dean spoke as she led Elisha to Khalan's room. "I am sure your sister would be very grateful you came for her. We have done our best to take good care of her since on of hunters brought her here yesterday. I do hope you appreciate our efforts on her, we really did our best to tend to her".
"You don't need to worry Nelly dean" Elisha spoke sweetly to her, already happy that she would meet Sheba anytime soon. "I really happy and thankful that you took my sister in and took care of her even without any payment". She smiled to her.
"Thank you madam" she came to a halt before an old wood door with these numbers inscribed on them 022. "Here" she opened the door and gestured for her to go in first.
Elisha walked in with high spirits to meet an empty bed. She paused for a moment and darted her eyes around for any sign of Sheba but she was no where. "Where is she?" She tried so hard to keep her cool with that question as she turned back to Nelly who seemed very surprised at the question.
"Maam she is right he... " she joined her in the room to meet the same surprise. "Madam she was just here a while ago" she said with a shocked expression on her face.
"Where is she then?! Huh! I don't see her!" Elisha made her steps on the wood floor hard and noisy as she walked into the restroom in the room but found it empty too. She looked outside through the window and saw no one that could be likened to her Sheba.
"Madam please calm down and let me inform the inn security, so we can search for her properly" Nelly dean tried to bring down her temper.
"Don't try to calm me down Nelly dean!" Elisha yelled. "My Sheb... I mean my sister is missing and the only thing you can ask me to do is calm down?! Report to who ever you want to report to Nelly dean! I want my sister found immediately!" She said finally before jumping out through the window.
"Madam that is not safe... " Nelly dean tried to stop her but she was already gone. With fear and shock, she ran out of the room to meet with Mr Derlin.
"Mr Derlin! Mr Derlin!" She called loudly as she ran towards the counter only to find him lying on the floor, numb and cold. "Oh my!" She screamed at the top her voice. "Mr Derlin! Mr Derlin!" She shook him vigorously hoping he would at least open his eyes.
However, he did not even bulge at all her efforts making her already wide eyes to widen the more in fear as she ran outside the inn to get help and save his life.

"Dammit* l am sure it is you Lucifer who play this trick on me" Elisha cursed as she went round the whole place, searching for her Sheba.
This was her second chance to finally be with Sheba and he was ruining it for her!
She still has not forgiven herself for stabbing Sheba the last time but that was on Lucifer! If he had not been controlling her senses all these while, she was sure that Sheba would have known better than take a deadly stab for Lucifer.
However, she was very much happy when she learn from Priscilla that Sheba was alive and her happiness event heightened when she heard she was out of the barrier, so she decided to come get her herself other than sending others.
But now, she has been robbed of that opportunity and she knew well that the only one who could carry out such a work was Lucifer and none other than him.
He has not come to terms with the fact that Sheba was hers and hers alone. She had thought that maybe he realized this earlier when she found out that she exited the barrier. But now she could say that his head was still as sturbbon as ever.
Now she knew her flaw. She would have never tried to act nice to the darned registrar back at the inn. He so much wasted her time. If she had just used her powers on him and cut through all the time he wasted for her, she would not be looking for Sheba now.
"Aaaaah!" She cried out in frustration.
"Elisha?" A familiar voice called to her from a distance.
Yes! She knew that voice very well and that was just the one she wanted see now. She turned to the owner of the voice with a frown on her face. "Lucifer!"
"What are you doing here?" He asked her not seeming surprised that he saw her here. Of course she came for the same reason she did, 'Sheba'.
"Oh don't pretend like you don't know why I am her Lucifer" she walked with anger to where he stood and pointed her already elongated nails directly at his chest, with her blues eyes giving his ruby ones all the fire in them.
"Where is she?" She asked already piercing his clothes with her sharp nails.
Lucifer remained calm, as he looked around to remind her that humans were still around them and she was getting unwanted attention to herself.
But that did not make her drop her act. Infact, she held unto his collar tightly and brought her long nails of the free hand to his neck with no intentions of not causing him a wound atleast.
Lucifer sighed, not that he wanted her to let her guard down but because he had to find his Sheba soon and keep soon. But until then, he was definitely in for the fight.
Without words, he teleported the both of them to an unknown place in the forest, holding her neck with all the strength in him and tossing her against a huge tree.
"I should be the one to ask you that question Elisha. Where is my Sheba?"...
