Chapter 3: Reunion
The young Josephine's eyes opened and she sat up immediately, she looked over the clock and examined what was the time. It was 11:00 pm and almost midnight…
" Damn it! I wasted a lot of time!" The girl flung her legs from the bed and stood up.
As she walked over the door she heard screaming and barking, she tried to open the door but it seems it was locked by the caretaker. How can the unlucky young Josephine get out now? Her hand went over to her hair to scratch it with frustration, her hand suddenly hit something. It was her hair pin that she have been using the whole time.
She pulled it from her hair and picked the lock of the door, it clicked after a minute. The girl smiled on her good work then opened the door. As the girl exited the guest room she wondered who was that girl who shouted, Maybe she knows where Fiona is…
The young Josephine decided to follow the girl's screams along with the barking, when she entered the room with a billiard board she went over the door in the other side of the room and exited it, she is outside and got surprised when her eyes looked over to the broken ceiling but it looks like it wasn't a ceiling it looked like a 2nd floor.
She heard the bark again and tried following it, and she ended up in the gallery hall again and went upstairs. The young Josephine went over a door and opened it, it was a 2nd level alright. When she went over the left side she saw a ladder that seems to be leading to a bridge.
The girl didn't hesitate or anything, she used the ladder and went up….
When the young Josephine had been already on the top she crossed the bridge and went over the building, it seems that someone was already here.
When she went down the girl saw stairs leading down again, the girl sighed a bit and used the stairs. There was another door but it was not like any other door, someone is nearby.
" Fiona…?" The girl asked herself when she felt a presence when she entered the other room, there was another grandfather clock and her brows raised.
' Another one?' She thought but ignored the subject.
There was another door but when she opened it she heard shouting again, she rushed over the room then the young Josephine was startled when the room was pitch black. How can she cross now?
The girl followed her instincts walked over to the right, when she stepped her foot she didn't fall, it seems she was right.
When she crossed the two dark holes there was another door, she tried opening it but it seems it was locked. She remembered her hair pin and took it out from her pockets.
After a minute the girl heard a click and went inside.
" Fiona?!" The girl's eyes widened when she saw her sister being chased by some kind of monster?
Her sister looked in her direction but kept running in circles, the monster looked over the young Josephine and stopped. The monster clapped his hands and laughed as if it was like a child or something, he ran at the poor Josephine's place but then the young girl ran and shouted.
" NEW DOLLY!" The monster said trying to reach the poor young Josephine.
" Hewie!" Fiona ordered a door and leaped over the monster's back and started biting it.
" Josephine!" Fiona ran over to her and hugged her, she felt tears streaming on her eyes and the young Josephine wiped them away.
" Fiona, now is not the time look!" She said pointing at the monster who looked at the two sisters.
"TWO DOLLIES!" He said running over them again, the girls screamed and ran in circles, Josephine looked up the ceiling and saw a chandelier hanging, she looked over the sides and saw levers being covered with some kind of borders around it.
The young girl figured out a plan and called out her sister's name.
" Fiona look!" Fiona stopped for a while and looked at the chandelier and then the two levers.
" Fiona, I need you to break those while I'm distracting that huge fella that has been chasing us, GO!" The girl said when the monster tried to take Fiona but the young girl took out her cell phone and pushed the music button.
Run away
By: Linkin park
The monster stopped and looked at the young girl's direction and listened to the interesting sound she was making by that toy she was holding.
Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true
" You want it huh? Come and get it!" The young girl said when the monster started running over to her and tryng to grab it but it seems the girl fled to another direction telling the monster to chase her.
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Fiona was kicking the borders that were sealing the levers, she noticed her sister was having ahard time being chased around by the monster named Debilitas.
" Hurry!"
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
" I'm almost done!" Fiona said when Hewie was helping her by biting the borders on the other side.
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I'm gonna run away, and never say goodbye
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
When the borders were now broken the poor young Josephine went over Fiona's side and the 2 girls went in the middle aisle along with dog who was barking the whole time trying to distract the deformed oversized humanoid monster.
When the monster stepped closer to them the chandelier fell down and pinned the monster on the ground. Fiona's hands were on her chest giving him a pitied look and the young Josephine was looking at the monster with a sad look on her face and couldn't believe they KILLED a person/ monster.
The dog kept barking but her sister Fiona kneeled and shushed the dog.
" Hewie….Everything's going to be fine….He's not going to chase us anymore….Good boy…" She said petting the dog named Hewie.
But then the monster started moving and looked at Fiona and Josephine with innocent childish eyes. He began to bow down to the sisters. He stood up leaving the 3 in their fated reunions.
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
The sister looked at each other and smiled, they both suddenly hugged.
" You came for me…." Fiona said while sobbing..
" I'm always here to save you…Fiona…" The young Josephine said,
A barking sound suddenly startled both girls, Fiona smiled at her sister and introduced her dog Hewie. The young Josephine pets the German Shepard's head and Hewie licked her face showing gratitude and attention towards the young girl.
While getting out of the church her dearest sister Fiona told her how to get here and Josephine told hers, Fiona felt sad when the young Josephine mentioned about their dead parents but then all that matters now is that they're together and the mission is to get out.
The two sisters went up to the 2nd floor, Fiona was about to use the key but then a hand touched both sister's shoulders.
" Dinner is served Ladies….." Daniela said with no emotion.
" Dinner is served Ladies….." She said again moving closer to Fiona's face and gave her a small amusing smile.
The two sisters were led to the dining hall, Fiona was sitting at the end of the tabled while the young Josephine was sitting beside her. The maid gave them an assuring smile showing respect towards the frightened ladies.
The soup was still hot but it would be rude if the young Josephine didn't take a taste or sip, it might hurt Daniela's feelings but the young Josephine here thought about the maid having emotions or feelings at all.
" My creator said that he made me the perfect woman….But I cannot taste….Or experience pleasure or feel pain…." The maid said trying to entertain both invited and uninvited guests.
Fiona took a sip and the young Josephine also did the same but then something was not right about the soup, Josephine taught about it as poisoned but she didn't hesitate.
" Ummm…Thanks for the meal…." Fiona said standing up.
" Ummm yes-" She was cut when Daniela touched her arm trying to let her stay.
" W-What i-is it- it Misss Daniela?" The girl asked as the maid let Fiona leave first the dining room.
" Master's son Riccardo wishes to talk with you…..In the grand piano room…." Daniela said as she lets go of her hand and let the young Josephine leave.
When there were no people around Daniela took Fiona's spoon and scooped it down the soap tasting it but she doesn't taste anything since she was only a mere creation.
" I am not complete….." She said looking at Fiona's direction.
As the girl on the corridors she wondered how Fiona is but it seems this Romello, Rafaello man wanted to talk to her about something. She sighed deeply heading to the piano room.
When she entered the room she was surprised when nobody was here yet, she sat down on the piano and decided to wait for Rafaello by playing the piano.
( IF U GUYS WANT TO HEAR THE PIANO SONG)

After playing the piano she heard clapping throughout the room, the caretaker was behind her and the girl startled.
" Bravo! Miss Josephine…Very impressive who taught you how to play the piano?" He asked while still clapping.
" Um… M-My father Ugo taught me when I was 6 along with my sister Fiona." The girl said when she a different aura around that man again.
" Oh…I see…I would like to talk to you….But let's talk here." He said as he sat beside me.
The talk was about the Belli family and about being a care taker, it was nothing important but every time he tells something…It's like I heard that voice before like it belonged to my father…
The man was still talking about the castle until he mentioned Fiona's name.
" Fiona has the family's Azoth… And I need you also because you are important in this subject." He said as his face got closer towards the poor young Josephine.
" I'm sorry… I don't think we're not the person you needed, it's a huge mistake please…Just let us home." The young Josephine said standing up trying to get away from him.
" Oh but miss Josephine there is no mistake here, you are the right person and so is Fiona, your power is powerful compared to the other priest and priestesses we have used many years ago." He said but the young Josephine here started laughing nervously and took a step back.
" Hehehe you're wrong….master care taker but there is no such things as magical or powers, I believe in God, you see. I don't think it's not real…It's a huge mistake…" She said trying to escape but then the door was locked.
" But miss Josephine….I am not wrong…..You don't believe because your real family abandoned you and tried to kill you when you were born, a shame…They thought about you as a shame…. But your sister saved you from them and kill her instead of you…" He said as he stood up and moving towards the young Josephine trying to corner her.
" You'- To're wrong! My real parents loved me and I don't have a sister! You don't know anything about me! You're wrong!" The distressed young Josephine said as her head started rambling a lot of unknown memories, her eyes were blurry and suddenly she suddenly fell forward but the care taker was able to catch her in his arms.
" Rest now…" He said as he carried her somewhere else….
