1308 Words
Andre is Florence's step maternal uncle.The man's demeanor did not seem favorable to him at all. As soon as Andre entered the house, Anastasia greeted him with joy and inquired about his well-being, saying, "How are you, Uncle?" In response, Andre expressed his feelings, saying, "How can I be well without you all?" Jonas: Andre, what brings you here after so long? Andre then started searching for something in his coat pocket. Jonas: Is there something you're looking for in your pocket? Andre then took out a bottle from his pocket which contained a butterfly. Anastasia, upon seeing it, exclaimed: Oh my! Andre, what a beautiful butterfly! Where did you find such a beautiful butterfly?Andre, after narrating the story in his own way, was interrupted by Florence. Florence: Andre, I need to talk to you privately. Florence then asked: What is it? Can't you say it in front of everyone? Andre replied: No, it's a bit personal. You see, I know a good young man... you're growing up, and we also need someone to manage the family business. That's why I was thinking... Florence, getting angry, interrupted: There's no need for any of this! Andre understood that Florence was not easily persuaded. She was just like her father. Feeling defeated, Andre left for the day.After Andre left, Florence was immersed in her past. After the death of Florence's father, Ayman, she was mentally and physically broken. Although her mother, Eliana, appeared normal in front of everyone, she would shed tears in private. Florence understood this very well.But suddenly a big change was seen in Eliana. One night, while sleeping with her two daughters, Florence was awakened by some noises. Waking up, she saw that her mother was not beside her. She assumed that her mother might be in the bathroom, but upon checking, she found it empty. Worried, she left the room and went into the corridor. Due to the darkness in the corridor, she lit a lamp and searched the entire house.Just then, she heard some noise at the front door. Going there, she saw her mother leaning against the door. She called out, "Mom! Mom!" As Florence placed her hand on her mother's shoulder, Eliana collapsed into Florence's arms and, in a drowsy voice, uttered, "That...that's mine..." before losing consciousness.Florence takes her mother to the room that night Florence does not sleep and what if her mother wakes up again, everything was going well that day and nothing unusual happened but suddenly one night the phone rang and her sleep broke. She saw her mother beside her. She lit the lantern and went to look for her mother. The light of London was quite visible all around. Suddenly she heard a terrible sound from the room. She was startled and scared.Because the room was her parents' room, after her father died, no one went to that room, so to speak, the room was kept locked. Florence suddenly said, what is happening in that room, I must see what is happening, saying this Florence entered the room and saw her mother lying neatly on the bed and a black shadow was leaning over her mother's face, that was terrified, Florence went closer and the shadow turned its face towards her.Florence saw a humanoid beast. Florence could not understand whether it was a human or an animal. Florence said, it is a human but looks like a dead man, pale face, eyes are shining like ruby stones, how terrible, saying this the creature jumped out of the window of the room with the speed of a bat. Florence was terrified and said, "what is this! what did I see, did I see correctly, is what I saw real, what shall I do now, who shall I tell all this to, if I tell grandpa George, he will come up with some logic or other, and if I tell grandpa Jonas, he will say it is my imagination,And as for Anastasia, she is a coward, no one can be told, otherwise everyone will think I am crazy."Saying this, Florence started calling her mother, after a while of calling, when her mother regained consciousness, Florence looked at her again and lost consciousness, not like this, she used to bring her mother back to the room every day after searching the whole house, but one day suddenly at night after waking up, she saw that her mother was not in the house.Unable to understand anything else, she came to Jonas and told him, then they went out to look for Eliana.It was four or five o'clock at night, an unusually eerie silence, the moonlight was shining all around, the dangerous cry of wild foxes was coming from the forest, as they approached a large field near the house, they saw her mother Eliana na walking, Florence said, Mom, grandpa, look, Jonas grabbed her hair, Eliana came near, and as she was about to put her hand on Eliana's shoulder, she fell on Jonas's body.Jonas and Florence together brought Eliana back home. That night, Eliana did not regain consciousness. The next morning, while Florence was combing her mother Eliana's hair, she noticed two tiny pinpricks near her mother's throat. Eliana was wearing a pure white dress, and a few drops of blood had dried on it.Florence noticed marks on her mother's neck. It appeared as if some animal had deeply bitten into her mother's neck. She asked her mother about it many times, but her mother remained silent and said nothing.A few days later, Eliana left the house at night. Unable to bear it any longer, Florence confided in her grandfather, George, about everything. After hearing the details, George thoughtfully said, "There's nothing to worry about. Eliana is sleepwalking, which is called somnambulism in English. However, this matter shouldn't be taken lightly. We need to keep a close watch on Eliana. Jonas, I want you to do something: from tonight onwards, release our wolves outside."Florence was quite surprised to hear about the wolves, but then she thought that her grandfather George had probably made the decision for her mother's own good. Nothing much happened that night.A few days later, one night, Florence woke up without any sound. She saw her mother sitting on the bed, staring intently out the window. Following her gaze, she saw the silvery moonlit sky, and the world seemed somehow still and silent, like a mysterious, dreamlike realm.Just then, Florence saw a huge bat flying in circles in the sky. Suddenly, it swooped down and landed a few feet away. The bat was so close that Florence was terrified by the sight of its glowing red eyes, which looked like they were made of Limestone.Terrified, Florence clutched the Christ locket around her neck. At the same moment, the bat flew away into the sky. As it disappeared, Eliana slumped onto the bed. Florence began to wonder, "What is happening? Why is this happening?Florence began to wonder, "What is happening? Why is this happening? I can't understand anything. All I feel is that something terrible is about to happen." Several days passed. Soon, it was time for Jonas to go to the city for his business".But since no carriage was available for such a long journey, Florence decided to take their own carriage. Florence and her grandfather wanted to accompany Jonas because she felt it was dangerous for him to travel that far alone with the carriage. Although George wanted to go with them, Florence didn't allow it.Florence and Jonas set off for the city. The horse-drawn carriage started moving, and they eventually arrived at their destination. It took Jonas about two days to complete his business tasks.Only Florence knew how she spent those two days. For accommodation, they had checked into an inn in the town. An inn is a place where merchants or other travelers stay overnight.
