Chapter 604
Seeing both the council members leave the dungeon where father Antonio led them out politely, Penny went back to look at the flask while everyone was still murmuring on what just happened .
This time she had been saved by her words but doubt had been placed in Evelyn's mind and Penny knew that the vampiress would not let it go anytime soon . She would have to be even more careful than before . If word got out that she was a white witch, the council and the witch hunters would turn their eyes on her and she wouldn't be able to move freely .
Wishing bye to sister Jera and Father Antonio with a nod, Penny stepped out of the church to see that Damien had not arrived yet . Was he perhaps stuck with work? He was usually here at this time, deciding to head back home by herself so she let one of the white witches who worked in the council know about it .
Leaving the church behind her, she continued to walk in the path which headed back to Quinn's mansion . The mud was soft on her feet, sliding at times due to the continuous rain that had been pouring over and over again since the time they had returned back from Valeria . The weather of Bonelake had turned back to its usual rainy self .
The sky had started to turn dark and the colors which were trying to peek out were long gone . When Penny and Jera had returned back to the church, the time had headed towards evening . Damien would know if she were walking in the path of the road . The more time passed the more worried Penny turned on why Damien had not come to find her yet . She wondered if there was another case that had been keeping him busy .
Walking on the side, she felt soft drops of water starting to fall from the sky . Oh, no! The more the water drops started to fall on her, the faster she started to walk while also trying to not fall on her bottom on the ground . What started as a drizzle of rain soon started to pick up speed leaving Penny turning wet with the clothes that she had worn .
She heard the clouds thunder and crash against each other up in the sky . The lightning falling on some faraway lands that shook the place along with her . She had hoped to catch a moving carriage on her way to drop her to the nearest location so that she could make her way but not a single carriage had come to pass by her . The only carriage that did pass by was her was one which was going in the opposite direction as she was .
Penny was utterly drenched from head to toe and her shirt stuck to her body . Thankfully she had a jacket but it was soaked too, turning her shoulders heavy as she made her way to the mansion .
How far was the mansion from the church? Asked Penny to herself . With what she remembered it wasn't too far, maybe twenty to thirty minutes by carriage? By walking it would be too much, she sighed in the rain as her feet continued to move forward one after another .
After a few minutes, over the sound of the rain, Penny heard a distant sound of a carriage that was coming behind her and she stopped walking . Turning around to see it was indeed a carriage, she waved her hand hoping it would stop after looking at her .
The carriage didn't stop at first and went on to continue driving which made her huff . Where was chivalry by people these days? The sky had turned dark and so did the path that somewhere deep down, Penny was slightly worried that she had lost path right now . She was surrounded by trees and more trees with only the path to be seen . There were deviations to different towns and villages, and though she wasn't new when it came to walking back home, she was worried she had lost her way and would worry Damien .
