That was my end .................... I taught but it was a nightmare a terrible nightmare

My heart was still beating fast. Sweat was running through my face. I drank some water to relax myself but before I could go back to sleep there was a slight knock on my door "Who could it be ?" I said and checked my pocket clock which was kept in the wooden table beside my bed. It was not even 3 a.m yet so I avoided it. After some time there was next knock but this time the knock was a little harder "ugh" I said pulling my blanket over my head after a while there was a creaking sound. It was the door, the locked door slowly opened automatically and there was someone standing. I could not look at it clearly. The curtains hanging beside my bed was blocking my view,  before I could get down my bed and see what it was it walked away and faded like fog.

I got down from my bed trembling in fear and walked out of my room to see whether it was there or gone. I went and checked downstairs but no one was there. Maybe my imagination I taught and went back to my room,  there was a note lying down in the same place where the man was standing the note read as

'We were never happy together,

We Need to rest sometimes

Have some help-ing nature

Be like humans, please sometimes'

and at the back of the note it was written as 1,2,3,4 "That didn't make any sense",  I said. What could this note mean. I kept that note in-between one of my books and went back to bed.

The next morning...

I was still on my bed sleeping, suddenly a book fell down that gave a huge sound like a iron box falling down. This sound made me wake. After I came to my senses I saw a note crushed in my hand. It was the same note I found last night.

I was shocked. I looked at the note for a while but there was nothing I could understand in it. But I knew very well its all happening to me from the day I got into the mansion "Its time for breakfast" said Robert standing behind me. We both were walking downstairs and I taught this would be the right time to ask Robert about the mansion. Since he worked for the news paper company,  he would be knowing something about it.

"The mansion that burned years ago, what do you know about it", I asked him.

After hearing my question he stood there lost in thoughts. He then started to move on without answering me.

I blocked his way and begged him to believe me and tell me about what he knows. 

There was a long pause and then he spoke. He told me that the mansion got burned 30 years before. He didn't know anything more.

I was confused puzzled and only father could solve my confusion I taught but whenever I asked him about it he yelled at me. I didn't understand. He was angry at me for no reason, he was acting weird even when I told him about the mansion the first time he behaved odd.

I got so irritated and went outside my house without even having breakfast. what is even happening? What did the note mean? Why was father acting weird every time I talk about the mansion?  There were to many questions in my mind. Suddenly Robert came running towards me "Go to the library on Williams St. It has the oldest newspapers maybe you can get something there" He said and left a piece of paper in my hand it had some numbers and his name written on in it.

THE LIBRARY COULD HELP ME OUT DEFINITELY
