Olivera stilled when she heard Raul speak in her mind, torn between answering him in that the same sarcastic tone of his, and giving the woman a piece of her mind.
Why had the strange woman dived at her? Was she trying to kidnap her?

Olivera sighed again. If she answered Raul, then he would know that she was here, he would know that she knew of a secret room that he had no idea existed. She wasn't sure she wanted that to happen. He might ban her.
