LUELLA TURNED back to the door she snuck out from. She knew there was a secret passage on that floor, because of Irene. When they were little, Irene created the passage, just to take Luella out to play anything she was grounded.

"The road is just there, My lady." He pointed to the open gap.
Luella nodded. And with Tedric beside her, she walked confidently inside the creepy-looking woods.
As they walked, Tedric felt they were being followed. He stopped occasionally, always looking behind him, squinting his eyes, and then continued walking.
"Is something wrong?" Luella asked, tilted her head at him.
