I want you to listen carefully, please. My name is Rose, I am fifty-five and I'm going to share my horrible story.

It all began 10 years ago, October 16th 1886...

"JOHANNA: I am so happy to be here! I can't wait to see her, wearing her wedding dress! Johanna said to me.

ROSE: Me too but... I have a weird feeling.

My older sister Abby is getting married today with a man I don't know. It's very strange because we never met, and she is my sister, she used to tell me everything that was happening to her but since her future husband came into her life, she doesn't call me anymore.

JOHANNA: Why? Even if you don't know her husband, she's still your sister. Be here for her, not for him.

ROSE: Yes, you're right.

Johanna and I were walking to the church when a man ran into me.

ROSE: Eh!

The man didn't even look at me, he just kept on going. He seemed in a hurry. He was dressed in a black costar with a black hat. I had never seen him before.

ROSE: People are rude these days!

JOHANNA: I agree.

We took place in the first row to clearly see her. It was 7 pm and night was beginning to fall. I was very anxious, but I didn't know why. Maybe it was because of the full moon. Tonight was the night of the full moon. We waited nearly 30 minutes before hearing the opening music. And then, I saw her.

ROSE: She's beautiful...

She was walking to the altar when suddenly, I realized that her companion wasn't there.

ROSE: Johanna, where is he?

JOHANNA: Who are you talking about?

ROSE: Her husband?

She looked in front of her and noticed that he was not where he was supposed to be.

JOHANNA: I don't know, but look at her, it doesn't seem to bother her.

Johanna was right. I saw Abby look several times towards the altar while noticing that he was not there and she didn't seem disoriented. She was walking to the altar when suddenly, a man ran in front of her, as if he were late and it was the case. It was probably her husband.

JOHANNA: He's here now.

ROSE: Wait a minute...

I recognized him. It was the same man who jostled me earlier. He was with Abby, next to the altar. It was her husband.

ROSE: Look! He is the man who ran into me!

JOHANNA: You're right! But look at how he looks at her.

He looked at her with an unhealthy look, as if he resented her, as if he wanted to kill her...

ABBY: Why are you looking at me like that? she whispered to him.

He didn't answer. He was empty, always with the same look.

ABBY: John? What's going on?

Again, he didn't answer. Suddenly, he turned his head in my direction. His gaze froze my blood. Johanna looked at me to check that I was fine but, I was petrified. Abby also looked in my direction, she doesn't understand what's going on. I looked up to the sky and I saw that the full moon was here. The time I lower my head, I see John around my sister's neck and I understood, he was a werewolf...

ROSE: Oh my god!

He was biting her. The whole reception room began quiet.

ROSE: ABBY!

I was running towards her but by the time I reached her height, she was already on the ground.

ROSE: Abby, wakes up!

She was here, in front of me. She didn't breathe anymore. I didn't know what to do. I turned around and saw John attacking Johanna in front of everyone. Then, I rushed to her but it was too late. I couldn't feel his heart beating anymore. She was dead. I was out of breath; all my senses were on the alert. All the faces around me were scared. Silence broke to give way to chaos. All the guests started running for the exit. None stopped in front of the bodies of my two sisters. I was left alone in the face of this hell. The bodies were lying on the ground. They were piling up.

JOHN: Abby!

I saw him next to Abby and saw the fire in my eyes. I looked up again to the sky, and there was a big cloud in front of the moon. John was back to normal.

ROSE: What is your problem? Who are you?

JOHN: I am his husband! What happened?

ROSE: I want to kill you! You kill her!

JOHN: What? No! I loved her!

I immediately take the cross above the altar. I was going to do it; I was going to kill him! Only death waited for him. I took my courage in both hands, and I planted the cross in his heart. I see the blood squirting on my forearms, until I cover myself more, I sank the cross deeply in his heart. "I did nothing! I loved her!" Once the adrenaline was over, I no longer had the strength to remove the weapon stuck in its thorax. I then stepped back and observed the painting. John was dying begging me."

ROSE: Do you believe me now Doctor Dolores?

DR DOLORES: Rose, this story is unbelievable, It's in your imagination... I can't believe you, I'm sorry.

ROSE: How do you explain that? Rose shows her arm and there was a huge bite and it's not from a dog ...
