While she walked she heard something, footsteps which followed behind her at the sides. 

Stopping for a moment, halting her footsteps and turning around wondering if it was her sleep-filled mind that was playing tricks with her. The church dungeons were quiet which was why she could hear the sound of footsteps earlier. She placed the lantern in front of her, holding it high but the light couldn't spread to every part of the ground she stood on as the dungeon itself was quite large. 

Penny didn't know why but she felt like there was something in here which was not supposed to be, something very evil which she could hardly grasp on. It was a feeling which she couldn't shake. 

She wondered if it was because of her dream that gave out the unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach right now. She stood there for a couple of seconds, unmoving and staring at the darkness. 

Breathing softly which was the only thing she heard right, she guessed that it was possible that it was another witch who was only walking by which she hadn't caught. Ready to turn around, she placed her feet on the other side ready to walk in the other direction when suddenly she gasped to catch a creature that stood right in front of her. It was nothing like she had ever seen before. It had horns and wings behind its back, wearing no clothes. It's teeth jagged which looked like a series of up and down teeth making it look like a saw. 

With the flight and fight mode, Penny took two steps back and when the creature came close to her she swung the lantern on its face. Which had the creature stop momentarily that lasted for a second before it opened its mouth, howling that made her cringe. 

The sound of a gunshot echoed in the dungeon which was shot right at the creature but the creature escaped, attacking Penny relentlessly as if she was the reason it was here right now. 

Penny, on the other hand, looking at its sharp claws and teeth started to run in the other direction. 

She ran as fast as she could but whatever this unknown creature was was fast. Clearly faster than her and the gunshot which Damien shot as he and Father Antonio followed them. 

"What is that?" asked Damien as he continued to shoot the creature which he had never heard about.

"I think I saw the image of it which was drawn in the secret room but never have I heard of it. Most of the white witches had the habit of dreaming which was not true. Sometimes it is hard to know what is real and not," Father Antonio had pulled out his own gun to take a couple of shots at the creature.

The creature was close to Penny as she ran left and right and around the pillars. Damien stopped for a moment, bringing the gun close to him he aimed at the creature before firing the gun where the creature whined loudly, it screeching voice making all of them to cover their ears and cringe. Before he could take another shot, the creature jumped into the darkness where its cry suddenly disappeared.

Penny quickly ran to where the other two men were, her hands empty of the lantern which she had been carrying as she had thrown it at the creature which had only angered it more. 

"Where did it go?" asked Father Antonio, both the men held their guns at the front. Waiting for the creature to appear but it never did. 

Other witches who had heard the cry of the creature who were nearby came with their own lanterns, "Is everything alright, Father Antonio?" asked one of them. 

"I think we had a thief slip in here. Can you have a look around here," he ordered his witchers who nodded and walked all around, going to the places where there had been darkness. Returning back they said,

"There's no one in here. Would you want us to look at the chapel?"

"No, that would not be necessary. You can go back. We will be here," he a.s.sured his people, a smile up on his lips as he sent them away. Once they were gone the smile fell down instantly, "Lady Penelope, might you know who that was?" 

"Someone who was trying to kill me?" she asked unsurely. 

Damien rolled his eyes at the question as well as the reply Penny came up with, he turned to look at Father Antonio, "You think they are her relatives that she would know about?"

Father Antonio shrugged his shoulders, a smile on his like he meant no harm, 

"You said it has been filed in the secret room. Take us there," Damien demanded the priest. 

The white witcher sighed, "You need to learn to be polite, Young master Damien, this is not-"

"I can drag you there if it is necessary," Damien cut in not in the mood to chit chat. 

"Of course, I was only going to ask you to follow me," said Father Antonio. Penny offered the man an apologetic smile. 

Taking another look around, they went to the secret which the white witches had built that unknown to a lot of people and known only to some. Some of the newly joined witches to the church were unaware of it as the members of the church didn't believe until their worth was proven.
