"So? What now?" Sodo said annoyed as Copia sat down.

"we wait and hope for the best. Hope that the police will catch her and bring her back to prison before she catches us" he answered truthfully.

I let out a shaky breath and leaned back against Sodos warm body, feeling how his heart pounded against his chest. Everything was suddenly so different. Like someone flipped a switch and the lights had gone out. Every glimmer of safety, hope, happiness was now gone.

"Copia, I have to show you something." Sodo suddenly spoke, "in private" he added and I immediately knew what he meant. The sketch I made earlier this morning. A few hours before all of this happened.

"Is it important?" the Cardinal asked and I felt how Sodo had to control himself not to scream. He was angry.

"Yes it fucking is important. You think Imma show you a new game that I found on the AppStore in this fucking situation?"

"We don't need fighting now" I whispered carefully and took his hand to calm him down.  Sodos skin was colder than natural as his brushed mine. Weird for a fire ghoul.

"Sorry Sodo, I didn't  mean it like that. Of course you can show me. And for everyone: please stay here in the church, where you're safe. Do not open the blinds, always keep them shut and always. lock. your. doors. Especially at night.Don't go outside into the garden, do not text anyone where you are, don't invite friends and people in general to come here. If you break any of these rules, you endanger your family, possibly exposing them to certain death. Now go to your rooms and you can find me in my office. Dinner is at 7pm like normal. Try not to freak out, you're safe here"

How was the Cardinal able to stay this calm? There's a fucking murderer out there, trying to break into this house and get one of his ghouls? How was I able to not break out into tears and have a fucking panic attack? If I didn't know myself, who else did?

"Come" Sodo whispered tense and stood up while keeping me close. "We're going to his office"

"Have you ever dreamt anything like that before?" Copia asked in a worried tone and kept staring at the sketch.

"No" I said and sat down on one of the chairs in front of the desk. "Never"

"And you're one hundred percent sure that you saw this?"

"Yes Cardinal. I drew exactly what I saw." I answered patiently and breathed out heavily. This was an uncomfortable situation and I just wanted to get out of here, out of this room.

"And have you ever experienced anything.. weird before? It doesn't matter when"

"I don't.." I said hesitantly, not knowing if I should say it or not. Yes, a few weird things happened to me. A fucking rope turned into ice and my blood is black. Is that weird enough?

"Yes" was my final answer. There was no point in hiding it.

"Would you mind telling me by any chance?" the cardinal spoke and looked up at me for the first time since Sodo gave him that sketch.

"I can also go out of the room if you only want to tell Copia" the ghoul offered and pointed at the door behind us.

"No, there's no need to. Your will find it out sooner or later anyways, I guess" I said, my gaze fixed on the Cardinal, who stared back at me, an expectant look on his face.

"I- uhm. I don't even know if you will believe me but.." I stopped, thinking about how I could form the next sentence and make it sound believable.

"A few years ago something happened - I don't want to talk about that - but the main thing is in the end I found myself tied against a tree with a rope. I know, brutal but we're not living in the past and it could also have been worse, I think that these people were capable of that, so I was lucky, I guess. As stupid as it sounds.
