I vanished, watching my father and Ellen walk away. Then, I fell into a long sleep. A sleep like I was dead..........
I dreamt all about what happened in that house before it happened to me. Several days passed. I don't even know if it's been days, months, years.....
But then one day, I woke up from my deep slumber. Waking in the middle of the woods and a..black cat in front of me.
???: Hey, Viola? Are you okay?
I remember this cat... He helped me while I was in that house. Or I didn't need any help from him. I stood up, looking at my surroundings. I was in the same place before I went in that house. Then the cat talked to me again.
Black cat: Phew, I thought you were dead.
Back in my dreams.....
-Viola's slumber-
There's a girl and a black, floating figure talking to each other.
???:I'm a demon that collect souls of the ones who died, mostly the souls of children. If you want me to help you, then listen to what I want you to do. You lure children here to "play" here and kill them, and I will get their souls. If I had enough, I will help you with your illness.
???: I will...I will do it...thank you..
???: Good. By the time of your last victim, I will possess a cat to help him or her.
???: Wait, why would you help?
???: Because whoever is that one will be the time you will get rid of your illness, and you will be the body of your victim. By the time that ends. I will vanish.
???: But, who is it?
???: The opposite of you.
So that's why he vanished out of that cat's body when it was my time to die.
-End of Viola's slumber-
I never knew....
I looked at my body, I was covered in blood. I checked my hair. It was purple. I tried finding a lake or a pond or anything with a puddle of water. I found one. I ran to it and looked at my reflection. My eyes were there, but my face was covered in blood that came out from my eyes.
This is Ellen's body....
I looked for the cat so I could ask some questions. Then he was beside me.
Viola: Hey. What day is it?
Black cat: It's been days since you "died". How should I know? There's no such calendar at such place like this!
Viola: Why am I in Ellen's body?
Black cat: Don't you remember?! You and Ellen switched bodies!
Viola: I know, but why am I alive again?
Black cat: Maybe you want something back? Hmm, how about your life?
Viola: My life? Well, what am I supposed to do? I'm in Ellen's body and I got such no powers, and how am I supposed to get my life back? *Sigh* I've lost it all.
Black cat: No, you didn't. This is your time to give it back. That's why you're alive. The only thing is, how are you supposed to do that with Ellen when you're "friends"?
Viola: I don't know. Is it my decision?
Black cat: Yes, of course! She took it from YOU. Because you're "friends". She got jealous of you because you had everything.
Viola: *Sigh* We have to go back to that house. I'll figure something out.
Black cat: Just to let you know, those monsters or "curse" I guess is gone. Everything's clean, no such scary things happening, no more puzzles, deaths or anything else is there. But there's only one who can get that back, if she wants to.
Viola: ..............
We head back to the Witch's house or ELLEN'S house. Then later on, a rain started. I was wet, my clothes were dripping blood which means washing away the blood that Ellen had. I didn't care. This is her body. I looked at the cat if he's following me.
Viola: You tired? I could pick you up along the way.
Black cat: No thanks, I might cause trouble. Besides, you just woke up.
Viola: I'm fine. I have lots of energy.
Black cat: Just don't.
Viola: *Sigh*
I picked him up even he didn't want me to. Then he started being like a kid who doesn't wants to be picked on.
Black cat: Hey! What are you doing?! C'mon put me down!
Viola: How about you calm down? I know you're tired. You guarded me while I was sleeping.
Black cat: Oh yeah? How do you know?
Viola: Because you wouldn't be in front of me when I woke up.
Black cat: Tch. Stubborn.
Well, our journey begins.
