"Aaaah..."
Elisa's scream echoed, a sound so piercing that it seemed to awaken the very spirits of the house. Holland, talking on his phone felt his heart lurch at the unmistakable fear in her shriek.
His elder brother Matteo was still speaking on the other end of the phone about Theo's blood. That was a good news, yes, but also a bad one had just happened.
About Theo's blood, that could wait. There was no time for explanations, no time for anything but action. He ended the call abruptly, a feeling of dread heavy in his chest.
In a flash, Holland rushed down the staircase, his feet pounding against the polished floor. As he neared the palour he caught sight of Jolie, Benjamin, and Nana storming towards the source of the distress.
Their faces were a mixture of confusion and urgency
Jolie and Holland burst through the door.
