Chapter Six

The morning after Isidora’s departure from the Balaurescu Estate, the entire household was in what could only be described as a chaotic uproar. The news that Isidora was missing was not received lightly… and it spelled a world of trouble for the entire family, for more than one reason.

Sorinah, currently a blubbering and distraught mess, had been the one to discover the truth earlier in the morning. As her and Isidora shared a suite of rooms, when Sorinah had gone to wake her daughter up she discovered her to be absent. At first, she hadn’t thought anything of it. Isidora occasionally rose early with the sun and was likely already eating breakfast. A little over an hour later, after discovering not a soul had seen Isidora that entire morning, Sorinah began to lose her cool. Isidora had never been missing before, not ever for an hour. She had to sound the alarm.

Combing the entire house from top to bottom, enlisting the help of the entire estate staff, Sorinah tore through like a tornado in her efforts to find her daughter. In the end, all she was able to find were the tattered remains of Isidora’s clothing, caught on the rocks surrounding the mountaintop landing space. The realization that Isidora had transformed and left the safety of the estate sometime in the night let Sorinah’s heart in her stomach and her mind was whirling. Something had to be done. They had to find where she had gone. Sorinah went to find her brother.

Geza, who was normally to be found in his office, was actually enjoying the morning air and a cup of coffee out in the gardens when he heard his sister’s voice snapping in loud frustration at a staff member. He continued to sit on the stony bench, his eyes cast out at the forest that surrounded their mountain home, and just listened to the voice of his sister for a moment. He couldn’t quite tell what she was saying, but he heard Isidora’s name and that, combined with his sister’s distraught tone, had him worried. As he stood up with the intent to go find his sister, she came exploding out into the garden with a look of terrified confusion etched across her face. The confusion was mirrored in Geza’s face as he set his cup of coffee on the outer stone wall of the garden and moved towards his sister.

“Sorinah?” He asked. “What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

“She’s gone, Geza!” She responded, looking like she might collapse as her voice cracked over her words. “Isidora. She… she left the estate and I have no idea where she went or why she left!”

“She left the estate?” He questioned with a hint of irritation. “Who allowed her to leave? Who has gone with her to chaperone?”

“No!” Sorinah snapped. “I found her clothes up on the landing space, Geza, torn to shreds. She’s gone!”

“Visconti…” He growled shaking his head as his hands balled at his sides.

“What?” She asked, her voice still strained.
