There Are Two of Them

Chapter 4 - The Case

Teresa's POV

Sherlock and I are staring at each other in shock at what we just discovered.

'So,' I say, trying to start a conversation.

'Right', he says suddenly as if out of his deep thoughts, 'Your case which is...'

'My family'

'Family?', he asks as if he is me. 'Is it interesting?'

'Oh yes....and complicating even for me to solve', I say with embarrassment. 'However, it is not impossible'.

'So, what is the case?'

'It is a long story which in my opinion is utter nonsense'.

*Flashback*

I live in Switzerland on Mount Chasseral, a beautiful place for me to think. We are rich. We have many house maids and butlers. We are two brothers and two sisters, including me who is the youngest. My mom died when I was three. She committed suicide. I don't know why.

We had a gardener who my dad fired for not taking good care of the plants. The gardener cursed the place saying that after he would die, then the garden would fail and so would our family.

Finally there came a time he died and ever since then, the plants are dying one by one everyday.

My family says that it is his ghost but I don't believe in ghosts and hence have been investigating for the past two weeks.

*End of flashback*

'So, Mr. Holmes, I may be needing your assistance on this case'.
