I went out into the porch. Victor followed me.

"Once upon another time,our story had only begun.You chose to turn the page,and I made choices too.Once upon that other time,we did what we thought must be done.And now, we have no choice.We do what we must do...We love.We live.We give what we can give.And take what little we deserve." I sang

"Once upon another time,I knew how our story would end,and maybe I was wrong,but now the moment's gone.Were it still that other time,I'd make time itself somehow bend!But now I'm not that strong,and time keeps moving on..." Victor sang to me as I turned to him

"We love.We live.We give what we can give.And take what little we deserve.We love.We live.We give what we can give.And take what little we deserve...Once upon another time." I sang with Victor as our eyes lock.

Gustave runs in wildly, breaking the mood, and buries his face in his mother's dress.

"Mother, please - - I'm scared!What a dream - - An awful dream!Someone strange and mad,seizing me, and drowning me..." Gustave buried his face in my side shaking,

Gustave, ensing another presence in the room, turns from me to look,and sees Victor

"Shh... Gustave, it's all right." I comforted my son. "Come and meet a friend of mine..."

"Welcome to my world, my friend." Victor sang to my son

"Gustave, this is... my friend...Victor Collins" I told my son

"This place... Is yours?" Gustave sais in amazement

"Well, my sister owns every inch of it along with me and her husband. Every inch of it. Tell me where you'd like to go...Tell me what you want to see...I can grant any wish..." Victor sang to my son

"Could you show me, if you please,all the island's mysteries?All that's strange and wild and darkin the shadows of the parks?" Gustave sang

"You shall see it all tomorrow with me and my sister. My sister will meet with you tomorrow. I promise." Victor smiled and suddenly he vanishes!.

"Back to sleep now, Gustave." I said to my son

"Yes, mother." Gustave said to me.

He exits to the bedroom. Alone, I began to undress in front of the mirror. I gazed at her own reflection... Seeing herself as she was ten years ago
