Maddie HAD to get Emmalyn back to the castle. Especially Emmalyn. She knew how unsure the girl was of her own abilities, and just the fact that she currently had no idea what to do was enough to get Maddie moving.
"Emmalyn, listen to me," she pleaded.
"Inferi are controlled creatures. I don't think we can reason with them. I'm worried that somebody is controlling them, and the Inferi might just be a distraction. I'm leaving, and I really want you to come with me."
On that note, she gave Emmalyn, Nettie, Chloe, and Dorian one more pleading look, and then, with her wand raised just in case of another surprise attack, she joined the group led by Marchand. The one heading back to the castle.
