The Woman From Hell

My heart was heavy as I stepped through the gates of Yard Mansion again. Every step I took felt like my feet had been chained like it took a lot from me just to move them.

Sylvester was standing at the door to greet me. When he saw me, his face broke into a smile.

"I knew you would come."

"You'd better not play any tricks."

I was not deceived by his smile. It looked to me like nothing more than a disguise.

Sylvester shrugged, the expression on his face seemed harmless. "Don't worry. We don't have that many tricks to play. You can leave immediately after you understand what happened. Come with me." I followed Sylvester to the study.
