161 Very soon [7/7]

Unlike in the Black Forest, it had been raining heavily in the town that night. The scent and footprints had been washed away so the search had been unsuccessful. 

None of them could find any traces of where Izabelle was. It was as though she had disappeared completely like a ghost.

The day then came and went but even though they had almost literally flipped the entire town upside down, they still could not find Elle or any traces of her.

Because of the heavy rain and unusually intense thunder and lightning, Caelian and the other guards who had been on duty had not picked up any scents or noises that could have alerted them. Caelian had been guarding the front of the house while three other vampires were guarding the other sides of the house. Thus, they could not understand how a single human woman was able to run off undetected.
