I updated first part, so now second one is in first. And this is like second. Never mind))

Elissa was standing under lifeless body of her mother.
No... No, no, no, no!

Her eyes filled with tears. She heard the loudest scream in her entire life and the next second Elissa realized, that the yell belonged to her. She was on her knees screaming in pain, holding her mother.
"Mum, no, no... no..." the girl whispered.
She felt so lonely and...empty. The worst feelings of her life.

There was no blood. Her mother didn't have any wounds or scars. Terrified girl didn't understand what just happened, she didn't realize where she was standing or what she was doing there.
Elissa heard worried "What did you do?!" behind her. But she didn't recognize the voice.

Elissa woke up screaming. That was just a dream! she sighed with relief. Smile appeared on her shocked face. But the nightmare was so realistic! Why did I have the dream about it? Maybe, I shouldn't read that book about murders...

That night Elissa couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was filled with awful feelings and thoughts about her nightmare.

She was sitting on the window sill, just like dreamer would do.
Elissa often enjoyed the night sky, that was always so calm and peaceful.
Light breeze made lonely trees gracefully moving.
Everyone was sleeping in their cozy beds. Maybe, some hopeless romantic was even  having dream about someone he or she secretly loves. Maybe, some weird, but lovely granny was dreaming about her grandson's future. Maybe, some young boy was writing in his diary about his day:

13th April 1859
Today was such a strange day. I was waiting for Demelza at the corner of my house, but...

Elissa really loved thinking about other people's dramas, feelings, worried thoughts, life problems, their happiness or lovely dreams.

That night was really stressful, but around 5 am lady felt asleep having more enjoyable dreams.

She woke up from knocking on her door. Her brother Nathaniel has never waited for the answer, so he opened the door without permission.
"Elissaaaah, bloody hell! Morning. You sleep untill lunch as always! Mother said that I should wake you up", he pulled down her cozy blanket. "Get up! I said, get up!"

Her brother definitely wasn't her friend at all. She always was kind to him, but the young lady never spent much time with her family.

Nathaniel was her half-brother. Her birth father died of a heart attack when she was five years old. So Elissa didn't remember much about him. Mother often were saying good things about this man. He was open and good person, according to her.
Nate's dad loved Mrs Willington, Elissa's mother, with all his heart, too. But he was like big brother to her. Family used to need money, so mother  agreed to merry him. They had good relations and knew each other well.
But... Yeah, he's dead now, too. Mrs Willington was told that he died of a fever, while serving at the front.
