The news about the two lovers who were killed in the river in Leal has spread like wildfire, even though their nearby town of Leal has already found out what happened, and even the town of Moonbright, far from Leal, also knows what happened to that town. Jacque returned to the front of the palace and saw the man was no longer talking to the guards. Jacque went back inside the palace and saw Aimee cleaning the stairs. She came over to talk. Hello, Aimee! Good morning to you. Are you going to clean that alone? Or will someone help you clean the stairs? Jacque asked. Good morning too, Miss Jacque. I have someone with me to clean the stairs. I can't clean this alone. That's why someone will help me clean it. Aimee replied. Hmmm, Aimee Can I ask you a question? Don't worry, this is not difficult. said Jacque. OK, what is it that you are going to ask Miss Jacque? saidAimee. I heard from my room the helpers talking about the two people killed in the town of Leal. If it is true, And how far is Leal town from here? said, Jacque Oh yeah, a local man found the bodies lying in the river this morning. The police said they were dead since last night because of the body and the bite on their necks, and it was far from here, maybe an hour's travel. said Aimee. Did someone bite them to death? And who will do that? a wild creature?Asked Jacque And the two heard someone shouting at them, and when they looked around and found out who was shouting at them, they saw it was Butler Belle. Her face turned red and angry as she walked toward them. Aimee! What are the rules of this palace? What's happening in this town and other towns won't be allowed here. Butler Belle stated, "I'm sorry, Mother, I forgot." I'm sorry. said Aimee. Miss Belle, don't get mad at Aimee. It's my fault. This morning, I heard the helper talking about what happened in the town of Leal. There were two people killed in that town. said, Jacque Next time If you hear any humor or gossip, please just ignore it and don't ask anyone in the palace what it's about. The Mistress doesn't like talking about humor or gossip in the palace. Butler Belle stated And Butler Belle walked away and straight to the kitchen, Aimee continued cleaning the stairs, and Jacque went up to the bedroom. and thinking of what Butler Belle told her, She came inside the bedroom, sat on the couch, and looked inside the bedroom when she noticed a small wooden box under the bed. She immediately stood up on the couch and took the small wooden box from under her bed. Even though it was an old box, the box still looked nice. She immediately returned to the couch. She sees a small key hanging on the padlock. She took the key immediately and put it in the small padlock, immediately opening the lock. She opened the box and saw the old photographs and some jewelry and had a letter placed in it. She first took the picture inside the box, and there were four women in the photograph. She looked closely at the photograph and noticed that the background was in the forest and that the four women were all beautiful. She looked closely at one of the ladies in the picture. It looked like the woman in her dreams and it looked like her She put the picture back inside the box and took the letter out. The letter was so old that she carefully opened it. It came from a woman and the letter said, "Dear My Loving Daughter, please come home to us and leave that monster. She will hurt you, and as long as you are with her, you will not find peace. People will find you and her. People are looking for you and her because they want to kill that monster. After all, she is the reason some people died in town. Go home to us. I love you very much. Your Loving Mother " There is no name on this letter or even the date. She folded the letter and returned to the box. I took the other letter. She slowly opened it and saw that it now had the date and their names on it. In the letter dated March 13, 1891, Chris writes to Diana, "My Love Diana, I just want to say to you that I love you very much and I will do anything for you. I won't allow anyone to hurt you and take you away from me. I will love you forever." Your love, Chris " She was thinking about the name written on the letter with the same name as her boss and she folded it again and returned it to the box. She wondered why the woman who wrote that letter had the same name as Chris, and the letter was really old. She took her cell phone and looked at the time. It was close to 3 p.m., so she closed the box and put the wood box inside her cabinet, and closed and locked it. She walked straight to the door. She left the light on and went outside and closed the door. She walked to the Chris Room, and while she was walking toward the Chris Room, she saw Aimee leaving the Chris Room, and she carried a tray with a black cloth covering the tray. Aimee saw her, smiled at her, and went down the stairs. When she was going to knock on the door, she heard Chris talking to someone inside the bedroom. They were yelling and shouting at each other. She heard her talking about her name. She recognizes the voice of the other person inside; it's familiar to her; it's the voice of Angela. What the hell, Chris? Can you please stop saying that girl is Diana? She is not Diana; she died for so long. said Angela. I know she's Diana, and you're the one who needs to stop saying that. I know and feel she's the woman I love. said Chris. For God's sake, Chris, Jacque just looks like Diana, and she is not the real Diana. Angela said Stop it! Stop saying that. If you don't believe that she is Diana, keep your mouth shut. said Chris. And now you are going to marry Jacque? She won't even love a monster like you and she won't accept you because of who you are. I'm sure of that. She won't even want to live with a monster like you. Angela said, "I will marry her and we will get married." Whatever it takes, even if I force her to marry me, and she won't escape from me ever again,'' said Chris. What is she talking about? Why are they talking about me and why is she going to marry me? asked Jacque No one will stop me from marrying her. I have looked for her for many, many years and searched for her everywhere, in every country, and now I finally found her. I won't let her go, and nobody will take her away from me. said Chris. And Jacque walked away from Chris's room, and she walked outside the palace, went to the garden, sat in the fountain, and thought about what she had heard. What the hell is going on here? I don't even know why she wanted to marry me. We just met a couple of weeks ago and why she called me Diana. said, Jacque Suddenly, she remembered the letter that she had read and there was a woman named Diana who Chris loved so much and wanted to know who was really Diana and why Chris was thinking that she was her lost girlfriend, and suddenly, someone walked inside the garden and went inside. She saw Chris walking toward her and her face worried. Why don't you go to my room? I was waiting for you there for a couple of minutes and you didn't come in. I just saw from my window that you were here. Asked Chris I'm sorry, Ma'am, I heard you had a visitor in your room and you were both talking and yelling, so I decided not to go in; you were probably busy talking about something important to her. Jacque Oh yeah, Angela came to my room and we discussed something, and we started shouting at each other. We were talking about something. Let's go now to my room. said Chris. And Jacque stood up and Chris grabbed her hand and she smiled at her, and they walked together out of the garden and straight into the palace, and they went up to Chris's room. Chris opened the door and she brought Jacque to the couch, she walked to the door and closed it, and she walked straight to her table and pulled out the chair, and sat down. And she talks to Jacque. Jacque, how are your mother and your family? Asked Chris They are all fine ma'am, but I didn't talk to my mom for 3 days. I can't contact her because of the signal here. said, Jacque Oh really? Maybe it's because we always have storms here every midnight and strong winds in the afternoon, there is a little rain. said Chris Yeah, maybe that is the reason, but I texted her and asked her if she was okay. said, Jacque That was good. When my mother was alive, we were also close. I miss her. said, Chris Do you have boyfriends or even girlfriends? you are a beautiful and smart lady. Said Chris No, I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't think that for now, I need to help my mother first. Said, Jacque Ok, Jacque, anyway I have something to do with paperwork so I'll be a little busy but if you want to use your phone you can lower the volume ok. Said Chris And Chris got the document inside the drawer and she put it on the table, and she started writing. And Jacque took her cellphone and opened it. No one texted or called her. She pressed the games and she was playing games on her cellphone. Jacque had been there for 5 hours now, and Chris looked at the clock. It was almost 5 p.m., and she looked at Jacque and started talking to her. Jacque, it's almost 5 p.m., and you can leave now and eat your dinner. I think they prepared it now. said Chris ok ma'am Chris, see you again tomorrow and have a wonderful night. said, Jacque Jacque stood up on the chair and walked straight to the door. She went inside and walked straight to her room. She heard the loud growl again. She walked fast now to get to her room, and while she was on the couch, she thought about the old box. She stood up and walked to her cabinet and took the old box. She went back to the couch and sat. She opened the lock on the padlock and took the box. She took the picture again. She looked at the second picture and saw two women and she flipped the picture to see if there was "Diana" and my oldest sister "Sheina" on it. She looked at the 3rd picture and saw two old people, maybe at the age of 50 years old, and also read what was written. It said my parents, Rudolph and Linda Santos. In the 4th picture, there were two women again and written at the back was my only love, Chris "Christina" and me "Diana". She put back the picture and took the necklace and suddenly remembered the woman of her dream. She was wearing this necklace. and suddenly, Aimee comes inside. Oh my, Miss Jacque, I was knocking on your door but you didn't answer. That's why I opened the door and came in. said Aimee. Oh, that's OK Aimee, I didn't also hear that you were knocking and busy doing something. said Jacque, Miss Jacque, your dinner's ready in the dining room. You can go downstairs now. said Aimee. OK, I will go there in a minute. I'm going to wash my face first, and then I will go there. said, Jacque And Aimee went outside and closed the door, and Jacque got the box that she hid for her back, stood up and walked to the cabinet, put the box inside, and she walked straight to the door, went downstairs, and straight to the dining room, where Butler Belle was standing next to the table, greeting her. Good evening, Miss Jacque. Your dinner is ready. You can start your dinner now. Said Butler Belle And Jacque walked straight to the table, pulled the chair, and sat down. She started to grab food and put it on her plate, Aimee poured the juice into her glass, and Jacque started to eat her dinner. After a couple of hours, Jacque had her dinner and she stood up and said thank you to everyone, and she walked straight to her room. When she was inside, she walked to the couch and sat there for a while. I rest first before I clean my body. I ate a lot this night and my tummy is full. said, Jacque And suddenly the little rain and little wings started and the curtain blew and she forgot to close the window. When she was about to close the window, a woman with long black hair and a red dress walked straight to the door. When she was in front of the door, suddenly Chris came out and she asked the woman. She grabbed the other windows and began to look down. The two suddenly vanished, and she looked everywhere, but no one was there, so she closed the window because the rain and wings were becoming stronger. Jacque walked straight to the cabinet and took her sleeping clothes and put them on the bed. She went straight to the bathroom and began to shower. When she was finished, she walked out of the bathroom and grabbed her sleeping clothes and her hairbrush. While sleeping, she dreamt of her mother, Jane, smiling at her and seeing her pets were also there. Her 2 cats and her dog were happy to see them and she ran straight to them. Gradually, they were vanishing and she was shouting their name and Angela appeared in her dream holding a knife and she stabbed her Angela dropped the knife, carried Jacque's body, and threw her body in the river; she saw Angela gradually fade from her sight, and Diana appeared, and she took Jacque's body and put her beside the river; She laid down beside the river and whispered to Jacque's ears, "Send back the harm that is put upon me. Send it back to where it came from. I do not accept harm to me. Protect me from all that is harmful. Protect me from negativity, and hatred. Protect me from injury and illness. I do not harm others, so others cannot harm me. As I speak, so shall it be" After Diana whispered something to her, Jacque sat down next to her, and Diana put a necklace around her neck and said, "Don't take off that necklace; that's your protection from those who hurt you." And suddenly, Jacque woke up. and she took her phone and looked at the time. It was 5 am. She stayed in bed for a while before she got ready and she decided to take a shower. She stood up and walked to the bathroom. She was wearing a dress, a white lace dress, and she went straight to the shower to start the shower. When she was done, she walked out of the bathroom and walked straight to bed to grab her dress and wear it. She put on her flat white shoes, put on makeup, and brushed her hair. She went outside and walked straight downstairs and she heard the 3 maids talking about what happened last night. Have you heard what happened again in Leal Town? They found the two dead again, and they bit their necks and drank their blood. The first maid stated. Yea, my husband told me about that, and when he was in town this morning, the people were talking about mistress because they said she's the only one who will do that to kill people and drink blood. said the second maid That story is true about the king's daughter being cursed by the witch in this town, and I heard that her daughter is Diana, the king's daughter's lover. third maid Yes, I heard that they are lovers, and Diana helps the King's daughter escape the cage and they run away. said the second maid And when they noticed Jacque listening to them on the stairs, they greeted her and walked away from her. And Jacque walked straight to the dining room where she greeted everyone good morning, then she walked to the table and sat down in the chair to start her breakfast. Butler Belle got inside and called the three maids who were talking about what happened to the leal town. Three of you come to see me in the study room later after you fix the table, where we need to talk. Butler Belle stated And she left the dining room and walked straight to the study room, where she finished her breakfast. Jacque went inside the study room and she hid in the big statue so Butler Belle wouldn't notice her In a few minutes, the three maids came inside and walked straight to Butler Belle and Butler Belle shouted at them. What I told everyone here was that there was no gossiping or humor inside the palace. The Mistress doesn't like that. If all of you do that again, you are going to leave the palace. Everyone understands me. So said Butler Belle. Yes, Butler Belle, said the three maids. And Butler Belle left the study room, followed by the three maids, and Jacque came out of where she was hiding. Why was Chris allowed to talk about what happened outside the palace and what was happening in other towns? that's weird. said, Jacque And Jacque went outside and Butler Belle and Aimee came with three ladies with them. They went inside the palace and went straight to Chris's room. Chris went to her room early, so she talked to the people with Butler Belle and Aimee. They waited for a minute, and then Chris spoke and they went inside the bedroom and greeted Chris. Good afternoon, Mistress. stated that the three women Good afternoon, and have a seat and Aimee waits for Samanta outside she is going to make Jacque's wedding gown and tells Jacque that we will see each other later. said Chris. Yes Mistress, said Aimee. Aimee went outside the bedroom, and she went straight downstairs and went outside when she saw Jacque holding a red rose as she was just walking outside the palace. Aimee walked straight up to her. Good afternoon, Miss Jacque. The mistress said they would meet you later and you should wait for her to call you. There is an important meeting going on now. said, Aimee A few minutes later, the gate opened and a car came inside the palace, and there was a beautiful lady who got out of the car, and Aimee walked to that lady and greeted her. Good evening, Miss Samantha. The mistress is waiting for you in her room and will show you the way. said Aimee. The lady looks at her and smiles, but her smile is fake. Jacque smiles back at her and they both walk inside the place and walk straight to Chris' room where Aimee knocks and waits and Chris calls them and Aimee opens the door and gets inside. The mistress Miss Samantha, is here. Said Aimee. Samantha walked inside the bedroom and gave a kiss to Chris' cheeks. She sat next to the three ladies. Samantha talked first. Mistress, what type of gown do you want me to make and what kind of shoes? Where will the lady wear it? Asked Samantha I want a black ball wedding gown with black lace and diamonds around the gown, a sweetheart cut, and a long black veil, and I want glass shoes. You will meet her later. said Chris. Mistress, what kinds of flowers do you like? asked the First Lady I want her bouquet to be red roses, white lilies, and lavender with purple carnations because that is her favorite flower and the arrangement of the flowers where the ceremonies will happen. I want red roses and white lilies with an arc flower where she and I said "I do." And at the reception, I want all the flowers I asked for. I want to see you there. said Chris. How about the cakes? What flavor do you like? Asked the second girl. I want a chocolate and strawberry cake where the icing is strawberry, but the inside is chocolate and strawberry. said Chris. and the theme of the wedding is color. Asked the third lady Aimee calls Jacque and brings her here; don't tell her what happened. said Chris. Samantha, don't tell her that you are going to make her a wedding gown. Just tell her you are going to make her a party dress. said Chris. Don't worry, mistress, I won't say anything. said, Samantha. Our wedding is on the 4th day of this full moon, and we know that my family tradition is also our tradition. said, Chris. Aimee and Jacque went inside Chris' room and they got inside. Okay, Samantha, she is here to measure her body, so you know her measurement. said Chris. And Samantha stood up and got her measuring tape, and she started measuring Jacque's body. Jacque was confused about what happened and why this lady got her body measurement. Excuse me, what's going on? Why did she get my body measurements? I asked Jacques Heshe to make you a dress for my party this coming Friday, which is in 4 days, and you need to wear a beautiful gown. Chris said goodbye to the three ladies and talked about how they would work for that. In three days, they would bring the flower, Chris said, and they said goodbye. Samantha finished measuring Jacque's body to make a wedding gown, and she told Samantha the shoes and dress would arrive tomorrow, and she said goodbye, leaving the bedroom. Suddenly, Angela enters the bedroom and approaches Chris. Chris, Can we talk for a minute? I need to tell you something. said Angela. Jacque, can you leave for a minute? We have important things to do with Angela, and I will call you after we talk. said, Chris. Jacque went outside and closed the door. When she was walking, she heard Angela yelling and shouting Jacque's name. What the f**k Chris? Why are you going to marry Jacque and you don't know if she is not Diana? Diana died for so long. Angela said Oh Yes, I am going to marry her and no one will stop me from marrying her. I know she is Diana. said Chris. She is not Diana, Jacque just looks like her. You stop right there. said, Angela As I said, nobody will stop me from marrying her. I've been looking for her for many years, and now I finally found her and I won't lose her again. said Chris. She will not accept you; she would not love you if she knew you are not a human being and that you kill people and drink blood to survive. Angela said I don't care if she won't accept and love me as long as she is with me and she will be my wife. I'm fine with that because I love her so much. said, Chris. That was the second time she heard that Chris wanted to marry her, and now she opened the door and went inside, where Angela and Chris were surprised to see Jacque What is going on? Why are you planning to marry me and why is she thinking I'm Diana?" asked Jacque Oh, good you are here and hearing what we are talking about. Now Chris, tell her what your plan is and what kind of creature you are. said Angela. What is she talking about and what plan and creature she is and what are you talking about? asked Jacque OK, I'm going to tell you and besides Chris, I don't want to talk about the plan she made ever since. Why are you here in the palace Jacque you think you are just here because at work, or because Chris plans everything? The post about looking for a home nurse is just a fake. Chris does not need a personal nurse and all of this is her beautiful plan, I am right Chris? and you're probably wondering why we responded so quickly to your email, why in the evening is the interview, and why you're the only one scheduled to have an interview that night. Because of all that was planned and remembered, the driver who picked you up at your home, even knew where you lived and who your mother was. Chris plans everything; she plans to bring you here to the palace because she thinks that you are Diana, her girlfriend. Diana is already dead. Now Chris tells her what kind of creature you are. Said, Angela Chris called for Butler Belle and Aimee to bring what she was asking them. They both went up to the room and Butler Belle came in first and Aimee followed and there were two women who just now saw Jacque see them carrying a man. The two walked into the bedroom, handed the man to Angela, and took Angela. grab the man's arms tightly. The man struggled to escape, but holding Angela was tight. Butler Belle ordered Aimee to take the cloth cover off the tray and give it to Chris with a pitcher of red water, Jacque thinking that there was blood in it. Aimee immediately obeyed and removed the fabric cover and handed the pitcher to Chris. Chris took the pitcher and went to Jacque to ask if she knew what was inside the pitcher's Do you know what's inside this pitcher? And why is it red? This is fresh human blood. This is why I am still alive today and even though I was born in 1850, why won't I stop looking for you? I've been looking for you for many many years, all over the world. Now I've seen you, I can't let you leave me again. said, Chris Chris drank the blood from the pitcher and some blood dripped from her mouth while she drank the blood from the pitcher. When she finished, she gave the pitcher to Aimee and Aimee took it and put it on the tray. Angela handed the man to Chris, who took it from her. Chris was already biting the man on the neck. Chris stopped because Jacque shooting Don't ever hurt that man, you are a monster. You must disappear from the world. You are all monsters here in the palace. Jacque said We're the two monsters in the palace and a weird kind of vampire where they are hybrid vampires, half-man, half-vampire. said, Angela My love, I love you very much, Why are you afraid of me now? Before you were not like that, why now is that your reaction? and love each other. Why did you change? Asked Chris Are you f*****g crazy? Why should I love a monster like you and kill people and drink the blood of humans? You're a monster. said, Jacque Chris walked closer to her, and she stepped back to get away from Chris, but she still stepped closer to her. She had nothing to step on. She leaned against the wall, and Chris came closer to her and touched her face, and Jacque tapped Chris' hand. Don't ever touch me. I don't like monsters that will touch me. Don't ever come near me. said, Jacque And Jacque ran out of the bedroom, ran down the stairs, and went straight to the main door of the palace. She opened the big door of the palace and went out. She saw it was dark outside and she heard the steps of Chris's feet down the stairs. She ran toward the main gate. She thought that there was no guard at the gate so she could get out. When she neared the gate, the guard suddenly went out and she stopped by the guard. She saw Chris was coming up to her and she ran away from the gate. She ran into the garden. She entered the garden, closed the door, and saw the fountain. She hid. She covered her mouth and could not hear her sob. A couple of minutes later, she heard the door open and had someone get inside. She saw Chris enter. She heard the loud voice of Chris and she spoke. I know you're here, my love. I smell your body scent and the smell of your hair. you can hide from me anytime you want. but you can escape from me, and you're never gonna get rid of me. Said Chris Chris walked behind the fountain, and suddenly, someone grabbed Jacque's hand and pulled her upright.
