The candle started to flicker and Penny saw the blood start to move from the center, the blood dragging from the middle to the right like an invisible snake until it stopped in a certain part of the land which neither Damien or Penny knew about. Though Damien had lived all his life in Bonelake and had traveled to almost every part of it, he couldn't recognize where exactly this place was.
"Do you know where this comes?" Penny turned to Damien and asked him with a questionable look as she wasn't well versed when it came to Bonelake.
"I don't think I remember visiting this part of the land. It is mostly covered by forest, at least three to four decades, " he answered, "This is the new map which we are using here. I will probably have to verify with the older maps if there was anyone living here before."
Piers was curious and he asked, "Whom are you searching for?"
"My half-sister, " Damien answered the witcher and then looked at Penny to ask, "Did you bring any belonging with you that belongs to the butler."
"Yes, this. I think this is his uniform, " Penny said grabbing the black dress that had been worn by the man. Handing it to Piers, Penny waited for the man to cast a spell again. When the drop of blood fell on the map, the thick liquid started to move again but it ended back in the same spot where the spell of identification had been spotted.
Damien's red eyes narrowed and he stared at Piers, "Does this even work?"
"It works, " Piers asked but there was doubt in his voice as he answered the question, "The last time I used this spell I was able to find the parents of the boy."
"Okay, " Penny said exhaling air out of her mouth, "How does finding a relative work?"
"They have two casting spells. One spell that belongs to the main person and another spell that is specific to who you want to locate when it comes to the person's family, " explained Piers, "We can test it out with either of you for that."
"Let's test where I am right now, " Penny raised her hand in front of the witcher, waiting for Piers to cut her skin so that they could draw a drop of blood right now. She turned to look at Damien who stared at her as if knowing what she wanted to know. She wanted to know her mother's location and she wanted to close the chapter that had begun a few years ago.
The witcher stared at the white witcher for a second before he picked up the knife that was placed on the table. Running the knife on her palm, he drew blood out of it where she turned her hand down for the drop to fall on the map.
The candle which was already lit started to flicker again. Moving back and forth as Piers started to cast the locator's spell to see the blood starting to move before it reached the little block of a house that was named as Quinn's. This confirmed that the spell was working and Penny then said,
"I want to find my mother, " Piers gave her a quick nod.
He used the very same blood of hers that was there and after a while the three of them stared at the map where the third line went to meet the same point in the forest where Grace and the butler had been discovered.
"All three of them are there, " Penny muttered under her breath as she stared at the red lines made of blood on the map.
"Hold on a minute, " Damien said, stepping away from the room, he crossed the halls and went to the study room to find the old map which he knew was there.
He opened the drawers and went to look at the shelves when he found the large thinned parchment scroll that was rolled. At the back there was marking to let one know that it was the map of Bonelake.
Returning back to the room, he unrolled the scroll.
When the old thin parchment was placed on top of the new one where both of them had markings. The caught sight of a house in place of the intersection.
"Looks like it did belong to someone, " Damien commented looking down at the map.
"How old is this map?" Penny asked, craning her neck to the side so that she could take a better look at it.
"Possibly five to six decades old, " Damien's eyes fell on the corner of the map where the date was written down, "The house says 'Charton's', " Damien couldn't remember anyone with that name or family he had met."We'll have to go there to know whether the house still exists or if it has been demolished."
They would know only after going there.
Penny wondered if Grace had been kidnapped by her mother but then how did Durik end up there? Durik had turned to a frog who had been chased from the mansion but how did they all end up in the same place?
Her mother had been targeting her but now she had picked up on Grace. The young vampiress was sure pompous and prideful but she doubted she would be stupid enough to go with her mother.
"We should go there, " Penny insisted.
"I will come too, " Piers added when Damien and Penny were ready to leave. The last time they had left a black witcher behind it had ended up with him turning around and being part of the Artemis' play. They didn't know how far they could trust this witcher. ?They could leave the person here but Penny frankly didn't if it would be easy to bring down her mother. Not to forget, if her mother's brother was in Bonelake after chasing Caitlin, there were chances that he was there with her too.
Damien asked him, "Do you know how to use a gun?"
