"Mum, I can't sleep," said Isobel to her mother. "You have a nightmare?" asked her mother. "I dreamed I was stabbed by the torso with a knife," said Isobel. "Its just a bad dream, Isobel," said her mother, calmly. "Its not a nightmare. Its real and painful," explained Isobel.

Her mother sang a lulabby to Isobel and she fell asleep. The next day, Isobel went to the library and picked up a book. Her mother then enters the library. "That's a good book," said her mother. "I know. I used to read it here everyday," said Isobel. "But you just got here," said her mother. "No, I was born in this house and lived her with my parents," said Isobel.

Her mother was shocked until Amelia enters. "Is everything all right, ma'am?" asked Amelia. "Yes, everything's fine," said her mother. "I'll be downstairs, mum," said Isobel as she walked down the stairs. Isobel walked outside the garden for some fresh air. Her mother walked towards Isobel and begins to talk to her.

"Isobel, are you okay?" asked her mother. "I am, mum," said Isobel. "I see you like the garden," said her mother. "It changed a bit," said Isobel. "What are you saying?" asked her mother. "It used to be big but now its small," said Isobel. Her mother sighed and walked back in the mansion.

Amelia brought biscuits and tea for Isobel. "I hope you're hungry," said Amelia. Isobel took a bite of her biscuits and a sip of tea. "I love this biscuits. Its delicious," said Isobel. "Your mother told me that you're good at playing the piano," praised Amelia. "I've played it when I was five. Some people thinks piano is bad for young girls," said Isobel.

"No its not. This is the 21st century. People change," said Amelia. Isobel nodded and went to a place unknown. She walked to the cathedral and explores it. "Its beautiful," said Isobel. "It is," said the woman behind her. "Who are yoy?" asked Isobel. "I'm Agatha. What's yours?" asked Agatha.

"I'm Isobel Snow, from London," said Isobel. "That's a lovely name, Isobel," said Agatha. "Every Sunday, my parents walked me here. We usually leave early in the morning," explained Isobel. "You know you can just drive here, right?" said Agatha. "There were no cars," said Isobel. Agatha was about to ask more questions but she didn't.

"Would you like to come with me, Isobel?" asked Agatha. "I'm not supposed to follow a stranger," said Isobel. "We'll fetch your parents on the way," said Agatha.
