"I think, I think I just saw a ghost..."
_ Freda
No one uttered a word at the large table despite the fact that it was quite filled with so many people, all were saddened by what tomorrow meant. Moments passed and Lord Blackmore asked four waiting maids to clear the table.
“Trust me; never have I seen such a mood in this Castle not even when our Lady’s father passed away.” One of the maids said to the others as they started towards the kitchens with the dishes.
“You’re right, it’s so sad.” Another affirmed.
“Stop your gossip and work!” Another scoffed and walked ahead of them.
The others gazed at her retreating back for a while then giggled.
“Ever busy_”
The maid who had hurried ahead of the others was screaming from within the kitchens. The others rushed inside.
“What is it, Freda?” One asked, shaking a frightened Freda.
“I think, I think I just saw a ghost, Nora.” Freda murmured before fainting against the maid, Nora.
“Huh,” Nora chuckled. “A ghost indeed, come on, get a hold of yourself, Freda.” She shook her harshly.
“I… another maid swallowed, looking beyond Nora. I don’t think so, Nora.”
“You too, Rose?” Nora could not believe her ears, she was still shaking Freda.
“Lo_ look!” The maid, Rose stammered, pointing beyond where Nora stood.
Nora, still laughing half-turned to see Sir Keith in the cloth his daughter-in-law, Eliza had with her help dressed him in. He was holding onto a huge chunk of meat and munching on some already in his mouth.
Nora’s laughter froze and she shrieked at the top of her lungs. She blinked but the apparition was still there and was rather frowning at her. She shrieked again, covering her ears with both hands, letting Freda fall.
“What is it?” Ryan shouted above Nora’s screams and she blinked and blindly pointed at Sir Keith before collapsing onto the ground.
Freda was now awake and rushed to her side. Ryan stiffened when his eyes rested on a frowning Sir Keith.
“What is going on here?” he heard several voices behind him, asking.
Ryan barely took notice of them and walked slowly towards Sir Keith.
“Keith?” Mrs Keith pushed at Ryan, rushing towards her husband.
Dan stepped forward. “Wait ma_” but she was already wrapping her arms about her husband and the latter hugged her back.
“Is it really ye, my Keith?” Mrs Keith suddenly pulled back, assessing her husband.
“Tis me, don’t tell me ye ken not yer husband anymore.” Sir Keith feigned disappointment.
“Pa?” Dan whispered but was reluctant to go over to him. “But how did ye…?”
“I was hungry, ne’er felt this hungry in my life. Sir Keith explained. I still do not feel anywhere near sated.” He added, clutching his tummy. “How strange.”
Ryan stiffened then sniffed the air, sensing the strange aura in the air_ the fused aura in him and it was coming from Sir Keith!” His eyes widened. Then that means… but he practically died. ‘Ye actually died, Ryan.’ He recalled Lwanna’s words. So he’s like me_ an immortal human? But how?
Someone whisked into the kitchen_ Lwanna. She glared angrily at Ryan. She was about to say something then sensed the turned heads in their direction and tugged at Ryan. “Come with me.” She ordered and did not wait for him to protest and dragged him out of the room.
