People at the doorstep- Part 1

The sound of the gunshot was loud enough to wake up Madeline who had been fast asleep. She quickly ran into the room, "What happened?!"

"The Salvete Mortem was here with the axe in its hand," answered Calhoun, staring at Beth before he turned around to look at Madeline with a bright smile on his face. "It disappeared after hearing the gunshot." 

Madeline looked around the room, then looked at Beth who was awake, "Are you alright? Did it harm you?" 

Beth didn't know what to say because she didn't know what was going on again. Before she could say something, Calhoun said,

"Don't worry, my sweet. Until I am here, I will make sure your sister will be safe."
