Can Emma bring Edward to reason?


Edward was furious. How dare they sell his house again? All he wanted was peace and quiet. All he really wanted was Elizabeth, but since he couldn't have her, this was the best option. While he was working out how to get rid of the new intruder Emma entered his study.

"Master"?

He stopped his pacing and looked at her. "What do you want"? he asked, irritated by her good mood.

"I have something to tell you".

"Let me guess. The house is sold again".

Emma's jaw dropped. "How do you know"?

"I overheard you and Ezra while you were talking about it". He started to walk up and down in front of his desk.

"That is not all Master"

"Not all"? he repeated and froze for a moment. "What more can there be. It's bad enough as it is".

Emma sat down at his desk and looked at him.

He noticed a smile on her face. "How can you smile"?

"This lady can break the curse. She can set us free".

Emma almost danced in her chair.

Edward looked at her with amazement. He had never seen her so happy. Not after she died that is he hastly added to his thoughts.

"Who told you that? Who is this lady you are talking about"?

"Ezra heard it through the UGN".

"What is that"?

"The Underground Ghost Network".

He started to laugh. "There's no such thing".

She laughed with him. "There is. Ezra is a member. He heard that a certain Elizabeth Henshaw bought the mansion at an auction".

His eyes widened with shock. "Who"?

Emma smiled. "You heard it correctly. Elizabeth Henshaw. She seems to look like our beloved friend too".

He started pacing once again. His hands clasped together behind his back. It took a while to gather his thoughts. When he did he turned to Emma.

"Are you sure she can break the curse"?

Emma shrugged her shoulders.

"We can ask Madame Leota if we want to be sure".

"That damn gypsy woman. She's the one that cursed us".

Emma shook her head.

"No Master. Ramsley cursed us. You know that aswell as I do". said Emma with a sad smile.

Edward nodded. She was right. Ramsley was the reason they were all here.

"Alright then. Let's find her".
