<h4>442 Dark corridors- Part 3</h4>


    "I am not that little girl anymore," said Madeline. Before anyone could move or say anything, the ice that had spread on the floor around her shattered into pieces while also tearing the creepers before it turned to dust and they rose up in the air.


    The demoness'' eyes widened, "What incredible powers she has," she said in astonishment. The icy dustbined itself into many sharp des before they were shot at both Walter and the demoness, who jumped away from being pierced by the ice des.


    "Lady Madeline!" Theodore appeared on the other side of the corridor. With one wave of her hand at the intruders, the snow from the other side of the ground turned to more des before they were aimed at the intruders. The demoness raised her hand to bring out fire from her hands, melting the ice de before it could touch her.


    "You have wonderful, silly tricks, but they aren''t enough to save you," smiled the demoness.


    And when the demoness aimed her hand at Madeline, the fire zed around the ce that had Madeline start running away from there. Trying not to stumble down, she ran from the demoness who was persistent to catch her. It seemed like Walter had not followed her as Theodore had kept him upied by fighting with him.


    While Madeline ran, one of the guests appeared in between her and the demoness. The demoness used a knife to slit the guest''s throat, and Madeline caught sight of the Salvette Mortem with bloody hands, moving towards the dead body.


    Screams could be hearding from the other parts of the castle, and Madeline didn''t know which side to head towards. These people hade for her, but the innocent people in the castle had nothing to do with the situation who were being killed mercilessly.


    "Why are you killing people?! You want only me!" demanded Madeline.


    "Don''t cry. You will end up like this one soon," said the demoness, kicking the dead body to the side. "We need a few sacrifices before we can use you. More the blood, merrier."


    Madeline didn''t know who else she would be facing. There was no point in running because that would only create more problems. She moved her hand to the open side of the corridor. The snowkes that were on the ground came to settle in her hand, to form a sword-like weapon.


    The demoness held both the knives in her hands before attacking the dark angel. Madeline raised the de to stop the demoness'' attack. Though it wasn''t made out of metal, one could hear the sh between the weapons.


    "You should have run when you had the chance. It would have been much more fun than seeing you faint now in pain," saying this, the demoness pushed the de of the knives further and Madeline felt the twist in her flesh.


    Madeline tried to breathe, and said, "Then I wouldn''t have been able to do this." For a moment, the demoness was puzzled on what the dark angel''s words meant. "In the name of God and the holy spirit, I condemn thee to get back to where thou hase from."


    The demoness''s eyes widened, and she asked startled, "What the fuck do you think you are doing?!" At the same time she pulled out the knives from Madeline''s arms.


    "Sending you back to Hell," replied Madeline.


    A white light appeared from Madeline''s hand that she was ced on the demoness'' neck. The woman screamed in pain as she was engulfed in light and when the light zapped out, so did the demoness, leaving the knives behind that fell on the ground.


    Quickly running away from there, Madeline stumbled across many dead bodies of either the servants or the guests ,whose heads had been ripped off or their hearts pulled out of their chests. All she saw was blood around her and she took time to gather herself. This was not good. She was able to fight one overconfident demoness, but that didn''t mean she would be sessful again, and who knew how many more people hade for her?!


    Madeline caught sight of a maid who groaned in pain. "Are you alright? Let me help," she said, helping the maid up on her feet.


    "M-mdy, there are people with bat-like wings on their back. They are killing everyone," spoke the maid, scared.


    "Listen to me. Get all the servants to go back to the servant quarters and not toe out of their rooms. Make sure they don''te out until one of the guards appears. Okay?" asked Madeline, and the maid nodded her head vigorously.


    Back in one of the many royal rooms, Lucy picked on the screamsing from somewhere outside, and she frowned. She stayed in the room for a minute, but hearing one more cry, her hand reached out for the knob, and she pulled it open to step outside the room.


    Lucy was ready to head in the direction of the screams, when she heard, "It''s been long, Lucy. Did you miss me?" Hearing the voice behind her, her body froze. She turned around to find Samuel standing in the empty corridor.


    "What are you doing here?" asked Lucy because clear orders had been given to him to not enter into the castle.


    Samuel smiled, "I thought you would be happy to see me here. My wife," and he started to make his way to where she was. Warning bells started to ring in the back of her head.


    "I am not your wife. Our marriage has been dissolved," responded Lucy while taking a couple of steps backwards.


    "Don''t be like that," he tsked, getting closer to her and blocking her way before she could run. "You think I haven''t seen the looks you and Theodore give each other? You make it seem like what I did was equal Imitting a crime. I have been so good to you, Lu."


    Lucy could tell something was very different from what Samuel usually portrayed himself to be. Or maybe this was him, and even after staying next to him for years, she wasn''t able to detect it.


    "What did youe here for?" All the needed settlement had already been done through Calhoun so that she wouldn''t have to see Samuel again. He cornered her against the wall.


    "Do you want to know?" he asked. In the background, Lucy heard themotioning not too far away from where they stood. "I came here for you."


    Lucy''s eyes looked back at Samuel, and her eyes widened. She used her hand to stop him from attacking her, but he caught hold of them. And within a second, his hand pierced through her stomach, making her gasp and he pulled his hand that was covered in her blood.


    "How''s that for a start as a reason?" asked Samuel.
