After he was gone, I looked at Mr. Gold and he was staring at me with furrowed eyes. He seems to be thinking something but the way he was staring at me feel a bit…uncomfortable. I get up the table and decided to go to uncle Frank but instead he was coming towards me.
“The rice was about to burn indeed. Thanks to you Ms. Wilson or else it might get burnt. Your smelling sense is indeed strong” uncle Frank praised me as he come to the living room.
“Strong?” I repeated the sentence in confusion.”I thought it was normal” I mumbled to myself while looking at uncle. Then I looked at Mr. Gold just to find him still looking at me. It was a quite weird that he was looking at me like that and not just for a while but … does he know that I found out…? This thought made me even more uncomfortable. I got up from there to run away. I can go here and there but I don”t want to sit here.
Just as I was about to step on the stairs I heard a voice from behind “Where are you going? Lunch is almost ready, why don”t you eat first?” uncle Frank asked me from behind. I honestly don”t want to stay there under Mr. Gold”s stare so I just make an excuse “I”m going to library uncle. I won”t eat now, I”m not hungry” Isaid so as I ran up the stairs.
“Stop” Mr. Gold”s voice rang behind me. I stop in my track and turned around. He wasn”t looking at me but still he asked “Why are you going there?”
I thought for a reason but only some stupid things came in my head.”I need to enhance my knowledge” I blurted out anything that came in my lips and ran up the stairs leaving him in an awe downstairs.
I reach the library but now I don”t know what to do in here. Library is just beside the study. I walk through one of the book shelves not knowing why I came here. I love reading and I would love to read books from here but today I won”t be able to enjoy those books.
I sat on the floor looking around with absent mind but something caught my eye while I sat there. I saw a book with a cover named vampire in big letters. Instantly it caught my attention, I got up of the floor and reach out to get the book. The book seemed old and mysterious. And the topic wasn”t only vampire but it was ‘The history of ghost, vampires and werewolves”. I stare at the book blankly for a while and then I opened it unknowingly.
I sat at a corner and begin to read the book, and as I went further with the study the more shocked I got. I read the story for almost an hour. It was somehow connecting the missing dots of my life. If it was real then I now had the answers to all my questions. I sighed and put down the book after an hour, was this all happening to me was part of this? I remembered all the unusual things that happened to me, all the supernatural things… and I know what is it? Wait, all the things happening to me? was I one of them? How do I possess this power? How can I heal myself and others? How I am connected to them? What am I ?
When I was lost in my thoughts, I heard some noises coming from the door. I quickly looked at it and then I quickly hide the book in one of the shelves. I got up and walked towards the door. Uncle Frank was at the door trying to find something on the rug. He was kneeled down and was on his four hands and legs. I couldn”t help but laugh at him “What are you looking for uncle?” I asked him as I go near him.
“Ahh Ms. Wilson, it”s you? I got scared” he put his hand on his chest.”I came here to call you for lunch, Mr. Gold has been waiting you for lunch. I asked him to start without you but he won”t listen” uncle frank said as he got up the floor.
“Were you looking for me on the floor or what ?” I asked him curious.
“Oh that? I was holding a small pin in my hand. It fall out of my hand and get lost in the rug” he looked down “I couldn”t find it now. I think I lost it.”
“Leave it, it”s lost already. Let”s go out, Mr. Gold is waiting for you” he said as he walked out the library. As he walked out, I followed him behind. When I almost reach the door, I saw something shining at the rug in the library. I turned my head a bit and looked at the point. I could see the pin on the rug clearly. Not only the pin but I could see every strand of the rug. I gasped as I saw it. I looked around, I saw a small table a bit far. I looked at it and o can saw each lining formed on the wood.
“What the hell?” I cursed as I hold my head with both hands. Uncle Frank looked back to me as I cursed, he then asked me “What is it Ms. Wilson?”
I looked up to see him and I could see the each and every pores on his shirt, I could see the small strands of hair on his hand and face, I can even see the small dot of floor on the top of his shirt. I blinked my eyes and even rubbed it with both hands but still I could see all those. I was scared out of my hell, my heart almost stopped as I saw that. I then I run towards my room without looking right or left, I just ran towards the room.
When I finally reached my room, I locked the door and hide inside the quilt. I close my eyes because I was scared if I open my eyes, I might saw all that again. I keep my eyes close and keep hiding. Shortly after I heard a knock on the door following by uncle Frank”s voice.”Ms. Wilson.. what”s going on? What happened?” he again knocked the door again.”Please open the door.”
“Are you alright?””
“Ms. Wilson?”
He knocked on the door continuously for a while calling out for me. When I don”t spoke for a long time he moved away from the door. I could clearly hear his footsteps as he walked away. I can even imagine how far he has been.
After long time I slowly removed the quilt from my head and peeked outside. Thankfully this time everything seemed normal. I looked around examining each and everything but everything around seemed normal this time. I sat on the bed feeling confused. It was something else …
There were footsteps coming from outside but along with the footsteps, I smelt something outside the door. Something that was so intoxicating to be real, something that feel so good to inhale. What the hell was this again? I cursed myself… rather I thought I was the one cursed… with all the things happening to me, It was possible that I was cursed….
I inhaled the scent and took in all the smell as long as I could. But it was so intoxicating that I wanted even more. I walked towards the door to find out where the scent was coming from. Just as I open the door, I saw Mr. Gold standing there with one hand up in the air forming a fist. What the hell was he up to? I quickly raised my hands shielding myself from him.
“What are you doing?” he asked me and I looked at him. his hand was already down and he was looking at me as if I was a fool. I quickly down my hands and shook my head.
“Come down, I”m hungry” he turned back and begin to move away. I nodded and walked behind him and then I realized the scent that was so strong and intoxicating was now gone. There was nothing in the air. Was it all imagination?
“What are you still doing there?” Mr. Gold yelled from end of the corridor. I was scared and ran towards the corridor to Mr. Gold even though I wasn”t so thrilled to get near to him. As I reach near him I slow down my pace and he turned around. I followed his each steps. My heart was pounding so fast as I was looking at my foots following each of his steps.
While I was looking down I didn”t realize we already reach the stairs. I took a wrong step and fall forward flying.
