Eva takes the key feeling like they're being mocked "I'm so sick of this goose chase! we're heading back to the chapel." she announces stomping back in that direction.

Eva heads back towards the chapel, going towards the guest house, when she sees someone else leaving it. Short, wearing a gothic dress, carrying a stuffed lion and a large book....yep, that's Maria alright.

despite all the anger and sadness in her seeing that Maria is alive brings her some relief though she won't admit it she believed the girl to be dead already Eva runs to her scooping her up in her arms "where in the hell have you been!?"

"Maria went to get her grimoire!" The girl, surprised at the sudden scooping, manages to beam up at her aunt, anyway. She holds up her book. "Beatrice will need it when it's time for us to enter the Golden Land."

Eva gives a small frown before thinking better of it "do you mind if I can take a look at your book?" and shift Maria so she has one free hand to hold the book.

Maria holds up her grimoire for Eva to see. Inside the book is a bunch of hand-drawn occult symbols, hand-written incantations, doodles of a lion and a group of rabbit girls.

closing the book Eva hands Maria back her book "you have very pretty drawings Maria." she says with a hint of tiredness in her voice "how about we go find your mother now." she says heading back towards the chapel.

Eva and her group move back to the chapel to find Jessica and Rosa. The latter has taken a seat on one of the lion statue's bases.

Jessica holds Maria to herself, and Rosa moves over to scold her for running off with a killer on the loose. Eva, meanwhile, checks the front door and confirms that it is still locked. Once open, Eva and George enter with guns drawn. Behind them are Rosa, then Jessica and Maria. Jessica flips the lights on. "Aunt Eva...where are Battler, Gohda, and uncle Hideyoshi...?" "That's what I was wondering." Rosa covers the door while Maria closes it.

"they've been murdered and we're going to catch the bastards who did it, so try to stay focused" Eva says as she begins her investigation of the chapel.

Catholic design, no doubt because of Kinzo's obsession with everything western, there's a large chapel room and there are multiple floors. The group searches top to bottom and finds nothing out of place, and certainly nobody dressed as a witch.

"this is impossible, I saw her come in here!!" Eva yells pulling at her hair "I know what I saw damnit! there has to be a second exit out of here."

"Eva, you know as well as I do that there's only one door out of this building. Unless she's hiding behind a painting, the witch is gone." Rosa takes a seat on one of the pews.

feeling defeated looks to their small group that remains weighing the options "I... this isn't getting us anywhere... I, think we should go to the guest house and try to wait out the storm." Eva said hating the feeling of being cornered like this.

If no one was where they should find them, then.. Well, there was only one option left.
"Mother, please wait just a moment." George said. He approached the altar, looking for any sign that things had been tampered with. "I need someone to lay here," he says. "It needs to be weighed down."

"Huh? Why? What do you mean, 'weighed down'?" Jessica looks up from her having previously been spacing out.

Not knowing what her son was going on about but trusting his Judgement "Go ahead and lay down on it Jessica, there's no harm in trying."

"U-uh...okay...." Jessica walks over to the altar and lays down on it. It visibly sinks slightly, and a click is heard.

Eva steps closer trying to find the place where the click came from.
