"Beatrice...uuuu...why are you here? uuuuu!" Maria shouted in fear.
Maria then realized Beatrice was clad in scarlet and seemed ready to faint.
"BEATRICE?" Battler rushed to the golden witch's side in confusion.
"There's someone...something in the mansion...it's killing everyone...Maria, Battler, please help...we have...nothing..."
Beatrice collapsed. Maria exchanged glances with Battler for a while, deep in puzzlement and pure fear.
"Maria," Battler stood in silence for a moment, "I don't know what's going on, but I presume you do, and in that case, you are going to be the one to decide where we go next, either in the mansion (which, from what Beatrice said is like walking into our graves now) or off of this island. Maria..."
"UUUUUU..." Maria's heart stopped. She already sensed the demons had trapped them onto the island, and now, saw no way to escape. Fighting is the only answer, but now, Maria felt at the point where breaking her promise so soon would bring her to her demise.
