3rd Task

I perfectly remember that cold winter night. It was January 13th ,1860, the same day that Paul and I had just got married. We were deeply in love with each other and had decided to spend our honeymoon somewhere remote from the city and the people we knew. We were invited to the luxurious mansion that his uncle, Lord James, had in the country, and we accepted as we did not have any other better choice.



After leaving the train station, we had to walk for a long time among the woods that led directly to the house. I will never forget the thick mist of that scary silent night, when we were able to perceive the most insignificant sounds of Nature. As I was very frightened, I asked my dear Paul to put his arm around me. Suddenly, we saw a dim light far in the distance that seemed to come from the mansion we were looking for. We sighed and smiled at each other because we felt relieved. However, it was a short-lived feeling since as we were approaching the dwelling, we found a cemetery just in front of the house. Paul tried to comfort me but I did not like the idea of sharing the place for our honeymoon with the dead ancestors of my husband. As we were passing by all those graves, it started to rain heavily and I could see how a rusty cross was beginning to lean forward and backward as though somebody were pushing it from below. That sight made my hair stand on end but Paul tried to convince me that it was only the blowing wind.


We arrived at the house at last and Lord James welcomed us with open arms. He was standing at the hall with Joan, his new wife, and Veronica, his stepdaughter. They were really kind to us but there was something in the way Veronica looked at Paul that made me feel terrified. She was a short blond girl whose eyes seemed to be hiding something......


We arrived at our room for a night of love. The room was beautiful, very big and with a bed really big. Our night was beautiful, because of this, we decided to stay at the mansion one month more. This month was beautiful, we went to a mountain near to the mansion. The ride was beautiful, a mountain had a field of yellow and red flowers. We get the rest of month in the mansion, until February 13th, on Friday...


It was midnight, was raining a lot, blowing strong and the windows are jarring, when suddenly, the door open. I could see only a shadow, when I caught a flashlight and aimed to door, I saw a Veronica, our neighbor of bedroom, she wore a red dress and held a knife. She attacked Paul and shouted to me while Paul if shunned of a knife:


-Help me, help me to kill him! Because he transformer in a big chimpanzee! He will kill everybody!

I was scared, I do not know what to do!


When suddenly I woke up with Paul pulling me and ask:


-Are you O.K.?


-Yes, thanks. just a nightmare, I'm O.K.


After that day, we never back to the mansion. And Veronica?! Everybody say:


-Veronica? No, I do not remember her...
