Chapter 17 The Taste Of Her Lips

• “Excuse me, Miss Cait, Mistress Heather is here to see you, ” Dayana informed an hour after Noman reluctantly left. He and Amanda had discussed about many things while he stayed. One of which included his first party in the castle where he mysteriously fell into an inebriated state with unexplained bruises on his wrist and chest. They had deduced that it was because of a vampire, but couldn’t be sure then.
• Another was the murder case and how long it will be resolved. They both knew she couldn’t stay in the castle anymore longer. Her life was at stake even if the Master promised she’d be safe. To solve the case would be the best chance she’d get in leaving.
• The third topic they discussed was the real attack Amanda experienced two nights ago. Noman knew it was just caused by a drunkard. She had to explain that it was a vampire attack and make him feel less...scared with it just as she was trying to be. Aside from her luckily protecting herself, she avoided getting deeper into the subject. It was an unsavory memory she decidedly buried in her mind, along with the cold feeling the attacker gave her when his fangs pierced deep into her flesh and sucked in almost all her blood.
