This is a sequel to ""The Cask of Amontillado." by Edger Allan Poe. Its actually supposed to be for school but I decided to have fun with it and update it here as well.
Evelina Montressor is your everyday girl. Or at least thats what she likes to tell herself. She's actually part of one of the richest and most influential families in all of Rome. She lives in one of the biggest Palazzos, has tons of servants, and gets pretty much everything she wants. Sounds great right? Normally, she would agree with you, but whenever her grandfather visits its always a whole different story. She's the youngest of 3 so she's never allowed to do anything since he's so paranoid for some unknown reason. Whenever he needs he always asks her to do it though. Everything except going into the cellar near the catacombs. He always sends her brother to do that. She doesn't understand what the big deal is but when she finally makes it down there will she?
