My breath was stopped, the face started fading. I wanted to get Jake and Jordan and leave this place for good but the people here don't want us to leave, they may harm us if I said so and it's my mother's birthplace. Where is Mom, Is she dead. a tear drop ran through my face. I couldn't sleep, I dressed up and walked through the corridors despite Shirley's warning, the place was vacant. Fear was running through my veins but an urge pushed me forward. I soon found myself in a half cracked abandoned hall, moonlight flooded through the cracks It felt people have not been to this part of the castle for ages, The wind started to sing.
"In the darkest night
You'll find secret buried sights
But darling do not get tied by lie
or you'll be the first to die."
The sent of lavenders rushed to my head. Cracked hall gave way to a aisle decorated with velvety curtains, red carpet and portraits in either sides. The sent led me to a portrait. I was shocked, It was a portrait of me being carried by a dark figure. My heart pounded, My mind raced, I heard footsteps from other side.
