"Run away Run away "uttered Ella ,"I don't want you to be seen here ever again! If I see you here again it's gonna be appalling. I hope I am clear."

Sam was frightened to hear to hear this , she gasped as she said "what's wrong"?

"Nothing", said Ella, "you are new here Sam. This isn't any usual town, its the Ravens-wood. Here you have to obey some regulations especially near the Charlotte House if you desire to be alive."

What is so erroneous about Ravens-wood? Also what about the Charlotte house? Why is everyone in this town so fearful about the Charlotte house?

"Oh, you poor thing" uttered Ella. "Sam, as I stated you are new here, you have no idea what this town is all about , I shall tell you soon until then get a hold on the Charlotte House and the forests. "As long as you pay attention towards what I say ,you don't have anything to worry"!

"Can we head home now Ella?" said Sam. Its already past 7 I have heard it's not advisable to be out that long in Ravens-wood

Ella's face came across a bright curve smile. "Good girl Sam , I am glad you are getting hang of Ravens-wood now". Welcome to the town.

As both the girls passed through the Charlotte house by walking across the street Sam whispered in Ellas ears , "it is exactly the way you narrated it to be".

"An immense chamber, with abandoned and lifeless looks". You can feel the cold breeze as soon as you walk across that street. " I am yearning to know how would it be on the inside" said Sam desperately.

Ella was stunt indeed to see Sam's reaction. Everyone who has ever lived or visited the town wasn't ever bold enough to have a glance through the Charlotte's. 

Ella mentioned  "The house lives as if it's under a  constant shadow, as if the sun keeps reaching for those walls that shrink away. And so its windows stay back without the rippling effect of the light, never knowing that the dust that clings, that the dust of years could easily be washed away. No one ever dares to go inside, because they know her child is still buried inside"

Sam gulped as she said"buried? Who ? Is this place haunted? Did something terrible happen here?

Ella smiled and commented " Oh honey, this is Ravens-wood", In this town there is a saying that many years from now a wealthy Scottish man settled here with his daughter and wife. His daughter was never ought to be ever seen again.No one really knows about the daughter but Christopher was indeed considered a psychopath.A lot of people state that she has been killed by her own father, yet other's say that Christoper  still stays here and kills young children after 7pm. 

"Oh Ella , laughed Sam. All town have such spooky sayings so that the children can be obedient , you should visit the city. Life is far more thrilling and adventurous back in London!"

"No Sam, this thanksgiving a lot of children went away and never returned home" 

Ella was shaking as she ran back home terrified about seeing the Charlotte House in  her eyesight once again.

She decided to never contact Sam ever again, Ella was unsettled about the fact that Sam being her friend didn't keep faith in her while she narrated the Charlotte story.

Ravens-wood in the 80s was indeed a horrendous place to settle in. It is a shame that all our folks living in the 1860s must not go out after the twilight. 

That night Sam appealed to god  as she prayed and willingly hoped that whatever Ella said was mistaken about this small spooky town.
