Melody POV

"Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked Lorena as we got to the address given to us by sister Mary. The house was a mansion and I wondered why my aunty would maltreat us when she lives in a house as big as that.

"Wow! Your aunt is a rich woman," Lorena squealed as we tried to open the gigantic black gate leading to the house. "Why is this not opening?" She hit the gate with force but it didn't budge.

"Calm down Lorena," I said to her and pointed towards the house. "Someone is coming."

"The house looks to be abandoned," Lorena commented. We heard the clicking of heels and as it grew louder, Lorena and I exchanged looks. A lady appeared at the gate. She was dressed like a maid but she looked sophisticated like she owns the house.

"Who might you be?" She asked as she eyed us like we were ants. I hated the feeling but I decided to mask it off because I needed answers to my past.

"I'm here to see Ruth Glenn," I announced.

"Who is asking? You've no appointment with Ruth." She answered rudely.

"For a maid, I must say you've no manners." Lorena retorted.

The woman let out a gasp and when she tried to reply to Lorena, she received a call. After speaking to whomsoever she wanted to speak with, she opened the gate. "Seems today is your lucky day." She commented by clicking her tongue.

Lorena wanted to reply to her but I stopped her and send a signal to her by shaking my head. She seems to understand and kept quiet. We followed the lady through the pathway that leads to the house. The house looked to be abandoned as there were only trees along the pathway. When we got to the entrance of the mansion, I noticed Lorena looking around but I quickly pulled her hand and whispered to her. "Whatever you do, make sure you don't get my aunt angry," I begged.

Lorena rolled her eyes before nodding in her agreement. The lady opened the door leading inside and we entered the house. It was dark and looks to be haunted. I could not see a thing until the lights came on. The windows were covered with dark curtains that blocked the sun. The living room looked as if no one was staying in the house. The couches were covered with white clothes and this also include all the items in the living room including the flower vase and the portraits.

"Where are they?" A voice sounded from behind us. A lady in a wheelchair wheeled herself from the room that was just opposite the living room.

"They are here ma'am," the maid replied.

When the woman got closer to Lorena and me, she gasped as she took her turn in looking from Lorena to me.

"You must be Ruth Glenn," I broke the silence that was starting in the room.

"It can't be," The woman in the wheelchair said. "This can't be happening. You were supposed to be dead," she pointed to Lorena. "How are you alive?" She shouted at her.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I have no idea who you are or what you are talking about." Lorena answered her before I could.

"You looked just like Sophia," the woman said and pointed towards Lorena. "And you look exactly like Fred. "

"What are you talking about? Who are they?" Did I ask?

She looked at both of us and began to tremble in her wheelchair while whispering the word. "It can't be!"
