"I can't believe this is happening..."
Natalya Burroughs sat in the expansive library of Burroughs Castle with her diary in one hand, and a white feather pen in the other. She silently glanced at the beautiful flames dancing in the fireplace. There were so many things that needed to be learned of, but she was not allowed to speak of them. So she'd chosen to write them down. But there was always one or two 'what if's. What if someone read her diary and discovered the horrible secret of the Burrough's family? What if they ran and told all of the town's people? What if those same, now enlightined, town's people attacked Natalia and her husband, Darcy Burroughs?
What if...
What if...
What if...
.......
But none of that really mattered now. The story needed telling, and she was going to tell it. She looked back to the empty page. It was practically begging for her to write down her darkest thoughts. She took one last look at the fire. And then, placed pen to paper.
"My beloved daughter Annabell died three days ago. Although this pains my heart like nothing else, I know it was for the best. I don't know what horrors would have been unleashed if she hadn't met her horrible fate. Darcy's looking to adopt twins. They can't be but 6 or 7 years old, and the girl has odd aura about her. The boy's pure evil, that's easy to tell, and the same for the girl. But something is different about her. Something that shouldn't be..."
On she wrote. She wrote more of the twins. More of her plans. But mainly, and most importantly, more of the ritual.
She herd the door handle turn and before she could write her true motives, slammed the book shut. She held it close to her chest and leaped to her feet, for fear it was her husband. One of the servants stepped into the dimly lit room. Natalia was stiff although she was trying to command herself to relax. The maid nodded to her, "Ma'am, dinner's ready."
Natalya let out a sigh of reliefe as she spoke without meaning to, "Thank you. You may leave."
The woman nodded once more and then turned on heel. Natalya watched her go, then quickly ran to a door that was around the bookcase she was standing by. She dashed through the door and turned right towards one of the castle's ledges. Very carefully she inched her way along the thin cliff. She climbed thru one library's windows and looked about the hidden books. They were only reached by attempting to move one of the large, heavy bookcases, or climbing thru the window as Natalia had skillfully done. She placed the diary in one the most forgotten corners of the shelves. With her long red hair flowing behind her, she reversed the procedure and dashed down stairs to dinner. All the time praying that what she had written was never discovered.
