                 "Ow!" I said as Madeline puts alcohol on my cuts.
       Madeline was the lady who was waiting outside. After I woke up, I realized that I was in the same room I was when I got here. When I woke up, I saw that I had cuts on my body that Augustine did to me. I still don't know why he did that.
     "Almost done my lady." Madeline says. If I had to describe Madeline in one word is that's she beautiful. Inside and out. Her hair silver
Iike a silver chalice,blue eyes like the ocean. I feel that I can trust her.
        "Madeline could I ask you a question?" She nods. "What happened with Augustine that he got out of control" I say. She stiffens
         "I don't know if I'm the one to tell you. That is information that doesn't concern me." She says.
         "Please Madeline I need to know what all of this has to do with me."
         "So much" She murmurs.
   "So tell me" I say. I walk to the mirror trying figure out what happened. I see myself with black hair hoping there's some sort of confusion so I could go back to my old life. But I knew deep down that I would never return.
     "Sight viewers is what they call the people who fight the shadows but they're is some shadows that go beyond us and take the good out of us" she said as she comes in back of me.
        "So am I a sight viewer?" I asked turning around. I was terrified of only thinking what would happen to me if I was taken over by a shadow.
       "You are one but at the same time you aren't" she said as she left.
  Woah. A sight viewer? How's that possible? I need to see if there's a clue of what am I or was around this house. 
       As I open the door, I am encountered with a chest. My mind thinking it was Augustine, I backed up and shut the door. But then I heard his voice. The boy who saved me and I opened the door as quickly as possible.
         "I'm so sorry I just thought you were-" He cuts me off
          "Augustine. Don't worry about it miss..."
          "Era. Well it's Erabelle Rose but it's too long so usually people call me Era and who will you be?" I say.
           "Joseph Sol at you're service" He says. I never knew I was looking the floor but once I saw his face I realized he was handsome. With black and hair and blue eyes. He had a British accent but not that thick. He spoke with gentleness that made me feel secure.
          " I've never got to thank you for what you did there." I say.  He nods
           "That's my job. I've just never knew their was damn shadows here." I didn't want to sound pushy so I didn't ask him about what he was talking about.
            "I just came to inform you that their will be a feast tomorrow so wear something proper." He says
           "Well that's a problem because I have no clothes.
           "No worries, I'll just ask Madeline to lend you something" I nod.
            "Goodnight miss Era" He grabs my hand and kisses it gently.
            "Goodnight Mr. Joseph." I say and shut the door. I don't know why but I feel  tingly inside and slept with some calmness because every time I close my eyes, I just see that beast Augustine. Could I trust Joseph or anyone here?
