Prologue
"So you are saying that whatever happened in there was the doing of...What? Supernatural? ghosts?"
" I am a serious officer. I am witnessed to whatever happened there"
"Look, girl. We know that you've gone through a very disturbing time but we need to know what happened there to help you and your brother"
Elena looks at the officer with pleading eyes. She wanted him to believe her, he needs to believe her.
After a long moment, of silence, officer Michael finally speaks up.
"Miss Elena O'Leary. I know that you have gone through a lot of difficult time, and this must be difficult for you but you need to tell us what exactly happened with you and your brother". Elena looks around her room where they have taken shelter until the storm resolves, noting the surrounding. There is a small cot on which both officer and Elena are sitting. A small table and a single chair at the right corner. Kitchen on the left side. Elena looks at her hands. They are dirty, dirty from mud, dust and blood. Blood of someone who is always going to stay in her mind and heart. After a long pause, Elena finally speaks. " Officer... What I am going to tell you, maybe you would not believe it. But trust me what I'm going to tell you, is as real, like you and me". Officer Michael looks keenly at Elena.
"Very well mam.. Please go on". Elena trembles. Her hands are shaking, she looks at her two-year-old brother, then at her hands and then back at her brother. She taps her feet with frustration on the wooden floor. Elena is trembling, she is scared, scared of every horrible thing she has encountered. I have to tell him only then he can help George, she thinks. " Alright, officer. But please do trust me" Michael gives her a reassuring smile. Everything is going to be alright she assures herself.
Elena takes a deep breath reminiscing the horror that shredded her life.
