The mansion was sold to the Illianord family. Knowing this Rasputin smiled with glee rubbing his hands together preparing for some mischief. He walked gaily over to the balcony with pomp and valour and roared his big roar into the forest.

The next day the Illianord family came by a carriage carrying their loads of trunk and chests of clothing.The youngest squealed with delight of their new home. A mansion so huge that it touched the clouds.

"Mariana don't you think this place is eerily quiet"

"Yes Josephine its quiet strange thing I noticed"

They stared at the huge garden bed which looked like a swamp. Adriana touched a wilted flower and looked up as she saw something move above.This startled her as nobody had lived in this mansion for centuries. She ran towards her sisters to tell them what she saw "look above there is somebody there"

"There is nothing there" Josephine answered. They stood on he porch while Mariana began knocking on the big doorknob which was carved with a lion on the door.The door opened wide and a butler came with a cane in his hand. He seemed so ancient that it would have been difficult for him to carry the luggage unless a maid helped out. The butler introduced himself as Carl who began unloading the trunk. The maid was a petite women who welcomed the ladies to greenwhich mansion.

Its a pleasure to have you'll here said the petite woman with a white apron over her black dress. She helped the butler with the luggage.

"The pleasure is ours" Josephine replied delighted.

"Call me Martha" said the maid. "Come let me show you to your rooms".

The mansion was furnished a huge chandelier hung from the top which lighted the room and a carpet on the floor.

"I cleaned up day and night this place it was tiring'. "Thank you Martha"

There were stairs leading up the stairs besides it was a huge kitchenette filled with pantries everywhere.

Adriana ran upstairs searching for her room. While Martha showed the two sisters the hearth. The maid saw that the eldest sister was pleased with the place."Here you have the ballroom" Martha showed

"Who is that?" Mariana pointing to the frame above the mantelpiece. Josephine and Martha turned to face Mariana who was pointing at the picture.

"That is great Lord Rasputin and besides him is his wife Carol" explained Martha. "What about this potrait"Mariana pointed to a picture smaller than the one they saw. It was a monochrome image of a family.

"There you have Lord John Rasputin and his sons and grandsons with their family". "This is Emilia John Rasputins wife. The maid put her stubby finger showing a pretty girl who had similar features to the younger of the siblings.

"It is said that Lord John married Emilia without the knowledge of his father" the maid explained and legend has it that Great Lord Rasputin died of heart problem after hearing his sons elopement and he still roams around the mansion

"Sister doesn't Emilia look like our Adriana" asked Mariana

"Yes Indeed, its quiet a surprise"

They heard a shriek from upstairs and rushed to find the source of it. Adraiana was shivering with fear staring at the closet which was wide open and filled with old clothes.

Then they saw it.
