Re: R1
She had just finished slipping Helena's crucifix around her neck when the Beast managed to break down the door. She tried to explain to him that Mina was safely inside the locked room and that there was nothing to be concerned with, but she could tell fairly quickly that he was not listening to her. Her hands rested gingerly on her hips as she looked up at him, waiting for him to realize she was currently displeased with his lack of attention, but then he growled at the door.
"There is nothing-" she began to say, but then she heard the voice just outside, and she walked toward it curiously. She, of course, had no intention of opening said door; she knew what was out there. "You can see her come morning," she called through the wood, and she looked back at the Beast, and then at Mina's door. She took the key to the study, and she quickly removed the crucifix just long enough to loop the key on the chain. She slipped it back over her head, hoping the proximity of the key to the crucifix would keep the vampire at bay if he managed to get inside.
