BLACKBURN

A prince is riding a horse and is coming towards you. This is the fairytale moment for a girl, but not all princes come on horses. Not all stories have a fairytale ending. Some stories start to have an intense ending. Faith, Fear and Fantasy can kill a person and have the power to build a home in the land of the devil. The three things can teach a lesson to you in life that not everyone who you love will love you back with the same energy, not everyone will do good to you every time and not every phase of your life will become less haunted in the land of Devils. Things will change if you want them to change. Anna Shawn is here to share her story with you, to tell you that blood relations can cause you great harm as well. The unseen things around you can make you suffer a lot. On July 7th, 2022, the castle doors open and a fairy wearing a white gown, holding white lilies in her hand, stands right in front of the audience. Her blond hair flutters on her face. The silk gown with a network on it shows the modesty of the woman. Small diamond studs in her ears enhance her beauty. The sky is clear today with a pleasant wind. The beauty of the white lady's gown is at Paco Dos Duques castle. The Duke of Braganza’s castle is located on a medieval estate in Northwestern Portugal. An artwork with granite walls, with a ceiling and floor in wood. The palace has three floors. The first one, with seven rooms, the intermediate floor considering towers, museum space, and fireplace; the last one, consisting of several bedrooms, allows access to balconies. The Palace is located in the urban setting of the historic centre of Guimarães on the top of Monte Latito, encircled by a forested park and green-space, intersected by several pedestrian trails. In its proximity to the southeast, the Chapel of Santa Cruz, to the north the Church of São Miguel do Castelo and the Castle of Guimarães. In the space to the left of the main ramp/entranceway is a monument erected to Afonso Henriques. “Anna, my daughter.” She uttered her name with an emotional voice. Mrs. Shawn hugged Ms. Lotus and gave her a smile. Everyone is looking at Anna, the bride of the day, walking in the church hallway. Rae was standing with the father of the church, eagerly waiting to see Anna. Mr. Shawn was walking with her 24-year-old daughter, who had decided to get married to the love of her life. The church’s interior is made of wood. Anna’s mother, Lotus, her best friend, and her sister Analia, with some other bridesmaids, stand in honor of the most beautiful bride. On this happy occasion, Analia wears dark purple. She didn’t follow the dress code and decided to act weird like always. Hansel, wearing a black coat and white shirt, was standing on the other side of the collider. Hansel and Rae have been best friends for the last 8 years. Anna’s almond-shaped eyes, chin dimples, curved lips, and a fair complexion. Rae feels like a fairy is standing in front of him. Mr. Ryan whispers in the ear of his wife, Mrs. Ryan, “Your son’s got a beautiful wife like me.” A smile appeared on Mrs. Ryan’s face. The father started the process. First, he asks Rae, “Would you accept Anna Shawn as your wife”? Without wasting a single second, he said, “I do.” Now it was Anna’s turn. Rae’s eyes were on her face. The father repeated the question, but this time with a slight change. Would you accept Rae Ryan as your husband? The clock ticked 4:00 pm and Anna smiled and said, “I do.” Rae removed her veil and kissed her. So many mixed emotions in a single moment; emotions of happiness, joy, love, crying, and jealousy. Yes, jealousy. Someone in the church is burring in the fire of hate. The fire that can destroy everything, the evil eye that leads your life to an end. Some storms hit your life unexpectedly so that you have no time to rescue yourself. A storm is going to hit the newly married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rae. A storm that would destroy everything. They decided to stay in the palace at night. After dinner and the photo shoot, they all went to their rooms. The third floor is booked with five rooms and one honeymoon suite. Mr. and Mrs. Shawn is living in the room next to Analie’s room on the right side. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan’s rooms are in front of theirs. Lotus and Hansel also stayed there, but in separate rooms. Lotus is with her brother Harry because he is an orphan, so she cannot leave him at home alone. The third floor has a mysterious atmosphere. Everything is classic yet ancient, but it still has a sense of some negative feelings. Rae decided to keep the room a bit simple. Anna is an anthophile; different flowers in pots can be found in various corners of the room. Scented candles are blown to create a romantic atmosphere. The room is filled with Anna and Rae’s laughing voices. “You know what Anna, Mulana Rumi said in one of his books, I am yours. Don’t give me back to me. I want to say the same to you. Don’t give me back to me. Hold me until my last breath,” Rae mumbled. Anna held his hand gently. Love can generate positive energy at any time and in any place. The colliders have a wide ceiling, a wooden floor, and some amazing paintings. It contains some furniture as well. The whole palace wears silence. The weather was pleasant during the day, but the night sky was covered with dark rainy clouds. It is a bit weird to have such weather at the start of July. Mr. Shawn, who is a meteorologist and a weather expert, noticed this change as well. At such a happy moment, weather like this can appear a sign of some danger and negative energy. Some candles are placed in the collider to give the feeling of royal palaces. “Jenny, have you noticed the change in weather?” Mr. Shawn added. He was looking out the window when he decided to share his views with his wife. Jenny Shawn is standing in front of the bathroom mirror and removing her makeup. She turned back to Mr. Shawn and said, “Our daughter just got married and you are worried about the weather. Can you please leave your profession aside for some time and enjoy the feeling?” “Yeah, I know our daughter got married. I did not mean to upset you, but the weather is mysterious. We are not in America, where we can expect a storm at anytime. It is Portugal. It’s quite a pleasant place, and nature-friendly”, Shawn replied. “Shawn dear, please stop mentioning that place again and again. We have been happy here for quite a long time. The place we call America gives us no happy memories, so don’t mention it again.” Jenny said. “Okay, darling,” Mr. Shawn went towards Jenny and kissed her hand. The pose shows he is ready to attack, sitting right at the front door of Rae and Anna’s suite, as black as pitch and with golden brown eyes with a fire in them. The way he is gazing at the door portrays hate and a lot of poison in his heart. ~ ~ ~ “Snowball comes back to me”. A sound came from the back, but he did not turn around. He is looking at the door with full focus; the laughing sounds are coming from the room. She came closer and, for the last time, repeated the same words. I said, “Come back to me.” He turned and uttered “Meow,” Analia’s cat, Snowball. They both look the same in appearance, with a black dress code, a dark aura, and are only friends with each other. Analia discovered Snowball two years ago and named him Snowball; they are the perfect match; introverted and mysterious. Analia stared at the door of Anna’s room without winking her eyes for a whole minute and then picked up the snowball in her lap. They both walked towards their room. Analia is wearing a long black gown. Her curly black hair is moving slightly due to the wind. A dazzling sound of thunder came. Both Analia and Snowball look back at Anna's room. Their eyes have so many hidden secrets. One of the candle stands fell on the floor, and the fire had gone out. No smile, no gesture of happiness, no emotion towards the marriage. Her twin sister just got married, and she is behaving as if it is a casual day in her life. It rained the whole night…The night that decided to change the fate of Anna, the night that allows the evil to enter the land of peace, the night that dragged all the prosperity from the lives of Rae and Anna.
