put plates as well as spoons, forks, and even knives. The walls were plastered. And overall, the entire place looked charming like in the movies. Dale saw a small window, and ran towards it as if he was searching for something, and the entire family spent all the rest of the day preparing for the celebration making chocolate cakes and preparing the chocolate eggs for Easter.
And as the shades of the dark night started to be drawn, the shadows of the melancholic owls and the sounds of wild animals became clearer over the huge castle and a sense of deep gloomy mood dominated the entire place but no one among the relatives noticed it except Dale, he was the only one who didn’t look happy or willing to spend the night in that castle A sense of a very insufferable darkness and gloom pervaded Dale’s mind and he decided to sit alone in a remote corner in the living room waiting for the dinner to be ready. The castle was very silent and the dinner wasn’t fun at all because, there was nothing delicious, only leftovers and some bread.
Then everybody gathered in the living room to spend the night, it was colder than Brook could imagine. But fortunately, there was a fireplace and everybody made sure to sit in front of it and enjoy the heat. It was and perfect happy evening or at least it was.
Brook wanted to break that silence. Henceforth, she said:
“Thank you guys for this peaceful night, it has been a very long time since the last time I had fun, you reminded me of my parents, I feel I have a family again.”
Poor Brook didn’t know anything about her relatives and the bet they made over that would spend the entire night inside the castle, she was too innocent to doubt them either but sometimes, trusting would become a flaw. But how could she know? She thought that all the people were as innocent as she used to be and behave. She never thought that they would be making a plan she knew nothing about. No one ever cared about the way she felt since her parents’ death and all they were thinking of was money and fun.
“No need to thank us, it is just a night, no more than a night, we are glad you are here Brook,” Don replied in a deep voice.
But all of a sudden, when everybody was relaxing, some laying on the sofa while others drinking wine by the side of the window, a sound was heard; it was like the sound of a scream and steps could be heard. That noise was apparent, coming from upstairs.
“Did you hear that, everybody?” Brook inquired anxiously.
“It is nothing, it must be a lost cat, don’t bother yourself thinking of it,”Don replied.
However, everybody else didn’t care at all. And trying to change the gloomy mood, Don said:
“Listen to me everybody, I’m going to relate a story for you and everybody shall tell a story as well tonight, share whatever story you want to, but it has to be a scary one,” Don suggested while smiling in excitement.
“Okay Don, start by relating yours then,” Jean asked.
“Alright brothers, here is mine, a young boy was sleeping in his own bed like he does every night. Suddenly, he hears loud footsteps outside his room’s door and peeking out of his little eyes to figure out what going on. The door started swinging very carefully and quietly to see a criminal carrying a corpse in his arms, that corpse belonged to his mother. The young kid was afraid and hid under his bed waiting for the murderer to leave that the criminal started to eat her heart and liver then he walked out of the house silently as if he never got in, this is all I have to say, I hope you liked my story guys.” Don said.
But he never mentioned that his story was a true tale and that the mother was no more than his own mother. Don didn’t confess that he was the cause of her death, forgetting the outside door open that night, his mother used to seal it every evening but Don forgot it open. He was tried hard to forget that horrible story through relating it to everyone he would meet but it would
