"My voice,fly me over skies,as heart has left me down.

Tell the story of the love that  went wrong,the bride without a gown.

Oh,the man loved her and by the lake he said,that he will lead her through the life and always love and care.But the girl,so young and beautiful,made promises  she betrayed,

in a year,sudden love from Mexico,her heart and mind delayed.

The man had a broken heart,but he was clever guy,

he said"I want a baby girl,by the start of July."

But the woman,she was clever too and tricky was her mind,

so he produced a baby girl by the end of May.

She said"spring is fresher than a fruit of the July

instead,have our daughter,who is the Flower of the May".

The man agreed and kicked her out,though the woman felt so sad.

She bonded with  the baby and on the train,she felt so bad.

Near the sand of Mexico,she posted the last letter.

She coughed some blood and hoped it soon will get a bittle better.

But she was weak and a tumor had invaded her lungs and mind.

So in that train,an hour later,she quietly....just died."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was alive.It was 100% sure when I woke up again.I breathed though I didn't get any relief from that.I felt I was alone in the room.I suddenly opened my eyes and hopped up from the cold thing I was lying on.I was wearing a light blue dress,wich was made by the design of orphanages.Technically,it looked just like a pillowsheet when i wore it."At least better than nothing!,I thought.

I looked around in the room.It had no windows and looked like an old cellar.

Moss covered some of the walls and the others were filled with anatomic sketches.

Nearby I saw a desk and behind it shelvings,filled with anatomic tests and dusted projects in glass jars.No,not the modern ones,the old ones,wich looked like they were putrid alright.

the floor was made of cold,filthy stone and I swore I could hear rats running under it.

This room felt disgusting,creepy and filthy overall.

The object on wich I had lied was an autopsy table,and on top of it,the only light source in the room,an old rusty lamp hanged and filled the room with stressing white light.

But when I looked closer,I saw that the autopsy table had leather belts,where the legs and hands were supposed to be.They were problably meant to tie the person to the table.And since the visitors of the autopsy table didn't usually struggle much,this table was used on living people.I felt like a rock fell in my stomach.Was this a torture based table???

I tried to get it off my mind and consentrated on escaping.I didn't remember how or why I got here,I only knew people here wouldn't be nice(afterall,leathered tiyng belts aren't just signs of friendliness!!).

I quickly managed my head(quicklier than usually at least) and was sure that the room had only one exit:there was only one metal(also rusty) door here and there were no windows.

When I touched the link,the door almost fell open."Well,so much of that prisoning then" I thought and quickly slipped by.

Forward was leading a small stairs,made of the same material as the cellars floor.

The road upstairs wasn't long and soon I faced another door.

I opened it: was unlocked as well,and then faced a wooden nailshut-there were small wooden tiles,wich looked really old."I couldn't have DREAMT those people talking before down there.Though I am good at dreaming,I'm sure there were people there before.So how did they get out?"I thought to myself.

I frowned and looked around the narrow end of the stairs once more.

I suddenly found out that one stone from the wall wasn't covered with dust."Could it be...?"I wondered and suddenly pulled the stone out of the wall.It didn't come out to the end,and I heard a small click on the tiles.And suddenly,the wall in front of me was pulled up by the mechanism and opened my way forward.

I crawled through the dust(the mechanism was a bit cranky and didn't open right up,but got stuck a bit) and coughed quietly,beating and weeping the dust off the only cloth covering my body.

The wall,meanwhile,slowly moved down.

I was in a long corridor.The walls were decorated with dark red panels and the floor was carpeted with the same tone of red.

There were some lamps on the walls,filling the room with dim light.There was also huge amount of paintings on the walls,and 2 of them catched my attention:One,wich pictured a crying boy,naked and suffering,terrible pain in his eyes and the one next to it.I was shocked to discover,I already had seen this one:and old lady sitting on an armchair,wearing a long dress.

I decided to ignore this weird coinsidence and looked around.There was no-one here,and the corridor was very long:both endings had a very big door in the end.

I chose to go right and when I got to the end,I was very nervous already.I calmed myself and asked how could it get any worse?It calmed me(surprisingly) and with shaking hands,I opened the door and found mysef in an office,wich was very light,white and clean.The ceiling was made of glass and sun gazed into the room.The furniture here was luxorius :the desk,armchair,sofas,coffee table and bookselves were all made of white leather or wood.There was a spiral stair going somewhere upper room too,but the room was decorated with so many plants and trees I didn't see where it went.The room seemed calm,light and clean overall.

I was so amazed of this light room in such a dark place,I didn't here someone was behind me,breathing quietly.

When I turned around,I let out a small scream of panic :the lady from the painting looked at me,wearing the same dress and hairstyle.

"Welcome,my dear"she welcomed me"Lets have a cup  of tea,shall we?"

I didn't say anything,but she went by and immidiately came back with a plate of a teapot,2 cups and a cookie bowl.

She asked me to take seat on the sofa and started talking to me:

"Elecktra,I know your name,but you problably don't know mine.

My name is Bethany Berrybot"
