Chapter 44 - They Had Been Taken Away

Amelia changed her clothes into a maid's uniform. She covered her face with a veil with only her eyes out. Her face was filled with glee like a kid who was going to the fair for the very first time. Without waiting for anyone to come, she walked out of the room with great enthusiasm.

"My lady, what if anyone recognized you?" asked the maid, as she looked around. She followed Amelia closely. Her face was pale and worried as she continued to look at every night with scared eyes.

"If you continued to look at everyone with that gaze, I would be surprised if they would not be suspicious." snorted Rene as she looked at the maid with disdain.

The maid bowed her head with fear and embarrassment. It was not a common thing that she faces murder every day!

But Amelia did not care about any of them. She was too lost in her anticipation. Her eyes were shining like crazies.  Her hasty steps continued to move towards the room of hazel.

As if she could not hear or see anything. She almost ran while she was near the door. Hastily, she opened the lock with trembling hands her whole body had started to shake while her eyes were glowing. Throwing both things on the floor, she opened the door with a beam and entered. 

The blood on the floor and the shards of glass was what welcomed her eyesight. Her eyes gleamed with evil glint. She laughed like maniacs. She did not even care about the hair that was scattered when she took out the veil with a jerk.

All she cared about was the dead bodies or hazel taking her last breaths. That would even be better! Then she would be able to see her struggle and relinquish the scene.

With that same smile on her face she walked in further but her smile soon turned into a frown.

She ran towards the washroom but there was no one. She looked all around the room but there was no one in there. The blood was splattered all over but neither Hazel nor Elie's dead body was there.

"How could this be?" she murmured as she looked down the bed and then behind the sofa too but the empty room was mocking her.

Her face turned pale and she stood there clenching her hands. Her eyes that were filled with satisfaction turned to rage. She turned and glared at the two maids following her who were looking equally shocked.

"Where is she?" she asked in a sharp and cold tone. Both maids swore that they had seen the devil standing in front of them. They took a step backwards in fear that would be next to hazel. 

"I asked where she was?" she repeated in a low growl and the knees of the maid gave away. Rene stood behind Amelia with a frown when she felt cold winds blowing on her neck.

She continued to look around. She walked and looked at the window whose curtain was blowing in the air. But could it be that they ran from the window? They were on the second floor. Could she jump from here in that condition?

She looked back at Amelia who was still screaming like crazy. 

"If you both do not tell me where she is, will I kill you right there? How could she run away when you both were on the door all this time. Huh? Do you think I am a fool? Just look at the blood on the floor." she pointed at the red carpet that had the mark of dragging but it ended near the door.

"Did they vanish just like that when they were in severe condition. Tell me?" she bent and held the collar of the maid's uniform!

The maid was so shocked and afraid that she was not able to speak even a word. Her whole body was shivering badly. But that did not affect Amelia at all. Her expressions did not soften a bit as she raised her head high in the air and slapped the maid, badly!

"Slapp" another slap landed on the other cheek. Maid's face swelled instantly. 

Blood came out of her mouth while her face turned white yet she was in so much trauma looking at the face of the Amelia which was blazing with fire.

"I.. I am telling the truth. I was at the door all this time, my lady." spoke the other one who still had some senses left in her body.

Amelia let go of the maid whom she was holding and moved towards the other one with the same red eyes. Her face was filled with bloodlust and her eyes were glowing manically.

"I am sure that they were here just a minute ago. I could hear their voices." spoke the maid in a trembling voice. She was scared but she knew that she would die even if she would stay silent. But there might be a chance that she survived if she would tell the truth.

"Then where the hell did both of them go?" asked Amelia. She was going crazy. She had taken so much risk in poisoning hazel. But how would she explain if both of them vanished in the night. More than that, she wanted to see the dead bodies of her sister.

"They might have jumped from the window, my lady!" blabbered the maid as she continued to take the steps back when her back hit the wall and she gulped. There was no place to run anymore. Sweat started to cover her face and so tears started brimming in her eyes.

"Do you think I am a fool? Huh? She jumped from the second floor in that condition?" snorted Amelia and was about to slap the maid when they both stood rooted in their place.

"The maid is telling the truth, she had been taken away from the window but she had not gone by herself."

"....…."
