A/N: Hello, everyone! This chapter explains a lot of the story! But freakier stuff is still to come in the next chapters, maybe in the twelfth, or later. Hope you like this one :)

Tom went downstairs, already dressed and ready to go out.

With the hospital bracelet in his pants pocket, he was planning to go to the London Central Hospital, hoping to find some answers about 'Marie Hills', whoever she was.

When Tom was reaching the door handle to open it, he heard a voice from behind him.

'Tom? Where are you going?' Danny asked confused, standing on the top of the staircase, still wearing boxers and an old navy t-shirt.

'I'm... I was going to Giovanna's.' Tom lied, nervously running a hand through his blonde hair.

Giovanna was living in a small apartment, in the other side of the city, while she was studying drama in college, and Tom would sometimes take some time to visit her. However, with everything that had been happening to him lately, ever since she had got back from her holidays on Italy, the couple had only managed some quick phone calls, with her doing most of the talk. Tom actually felt guilty for lying to Danny, but something stopped him from telling him everything, the truth, and also for not having spared time for his girlfriend, her childhood best friend.

Danny smiled a little, and walked downstairs, closer to Tom.

'Have fun.' He whispered cheekily in Tom's ear, leaving to go to the kitchen, from where he yelled 'Don't forget to use protection, though!' which made Tom chuckle. It felt like ages since the last joke between the two of them.

Taking one last look at the hall, Tom went out, closing the door behind him.

10th August, 2003, 10:07am

Tom moved towards the receptionist, who was answering a phone call quietly. Looking around him, he could see the waiting room of the hospital wasn't too full, but he could hear some noise coming from a door which he assumed to be the entrance to the Emergency Room by the white letters on the door.

The blonde receptionist hung up the phone and placed it on the table in front of her, and looked at Tom.

'How can I help you?' She asked, in a calm voice tone.

'I...uh...' He started, unsure of what he was going to say. 'In what room is Marie Hills?' He asked, his voice cracking in the middle of the sentence. She turned to her computer, and then back at him.

'Are you any family member?' The receptionist asking, her voice serious.

'I'm her cousin.' Tom lied. She frowned, and looked back at the screen.

'She's in room 665.' She stated. 'Don't take long, though. From what I read here, she needs to rest.' Tom nodded.

'Thank you.' He took the elevator to the sixth floor, mentally preparing himself for what was coming next. Tom wasn't sure how exactly visiting 'Marie Hills' was going to help him, but he had decided to give it a try.

The room 665 was in the end of a corridor, which was the reason why Tom had to walk almost ten minutes before finding it. The wooden door was closed, and figuring it would be stupid to knock, he slowly opened it and got in.

The white walls made the small room look like some kind of Heaven, along with the white cupboards and the white bed sheets. In the middle of the bed, was lying a small girl with pale skin and short dark hair. Her face was hidden by the blanket that was covering her eyes, and she looked like she was sleeping, so Tom gently pulled the blanket back to her chin in order to see her features entirely. She opened her eyes slowly. Big but pale blue eyes stared back at him, seemingly unfocused. Tom stared back, with a horrified expression in his face.

Marie Hills was the exact clone of Lilith Catchpole.

Tom was expecting the little girl to back away from him in fear, or start screaming, or at least talk to him, but she stood there, unresponsive. It was like she was sleeping, but with her eyes open. 'Maybe she's dead.' He thought. 'Or blind.'

'Uh... Hello?' Tom waved a hand in front of her face softly, but she kept still, like a statue. He noticed a file case on her bed side table, and assumed it probably contained information about her medical history. Looking at both sides, and checking no one was about to come in, Tom picked up the papers and read through them, finding her identification documents.

'Full name: Marie Evelyn Hills

Birth Date: 30th November, 1992

Parents: Grace Evelyn Hills (died in 1993) and Nathan David Hills (died 1993)'

Tom skipped some pages, trying to find out why exactly she was in the hospital, and something caught his attention on the last page.

'1st May, 2003: Deep coma, induced by unknown factors.'

Tom felt his hands sweating madly, and upon cleaning them in his jeans, he heard a loud bang on the white cupboard at his right. Getting up, he walked towards it and opened one of the small white doors. It was empty, apart from a black book that was in there, similar to the one he had found in Harry's room, if not the same.

That wouldn't be exactly normal.

Would it?

He grabbed the book and opened it. It was, undoubtedly, the same black book that was supposed to be in the music room, hidden in one of the drawers. The first two pages still had the pictures and the news about the fire, but the third page was no longer empty.

'The Life Enchantment

Used to bring dear ones back to life, always needing to sacrifice someone else, preferably, someone who looks like the person you wish to live again (close age, similar physical appearance, same familiar situation). In order to perform this enchantment, you must have had any kind of contact with the ghost-'

Tom had stopped reading. He didn't need more answers, and didn't want more. Just like that, Lilith had given him all the information he needed to find out what she wanted him to do. He was going to close the book and go home, but, before he could do it, the page turned, and he saw letters, a curly handwriting appear on the old pages.

'Is it now clear for you what you have to do? You're in too deep now. You have no escape. Try to run away and your loved ones will suffer.'

Tom's legs buckled under him, and he fell to the floor, sobbing.
