While Roxanne swept the floor, Francesca and Arwen arranged the furniture hand-in-hand across the room. Cecilia joined in and wiped the dusty surfaces from the windowsills. The girls bonded together as they chatted and joked about anything. As Cecillia giggled upon hearing the joke, her hand reached for something from the cupboard. It was an old photograph in a rustic white wooden frame. The girl ignored any background noises and started to caress the dusty glass surface, revealing a picture of four people. It was young Cecillia, standing between her father and mother who carried a beautiful baby boy, her little brother. A faint smile was curved on her lips as she reminisced the past memory of her lost family.
-----A horse carriage stopped by the house’s front door. A man in his thirties hopped down from the vehicle and was greeted by the loves of his life: his beautiful wife and a young girl with two braids on her hair who immediately rushed her little feet to hug the man.

As the dusk unraveled in the sky, the girls had finished cleaning the long-abandoned Cecillia's house. They rested for a while, wiping beads of sweat off their forehead before Roxanne said something about dinner."It's evening already, aren't you all hungry?"Francesca nodded eagerly as she felt the rumbling sound inside her stomach. She asked the native Pandees girl, "are markets still open at this time, Cecillia?""Actually, yes." the girl stretched her limbs and made a cracking sound from her tired joints. "It's not too far from here, just follow the road then turn left. You'll see a lot of tenants selling groceries."Roxanne jumped up and volunteered to buy the food supply. "All right! Who wants to go with me?""Not me," Arwen answered as she looked up at Roxanne. "I'm afraid they'll look at me differently because I'm not human."“Arwen can stay here and help me take care of Devon,” Cecilia offered.“Fine. I guess it’s just the two of us, Fran.” glanced Roxanne to Francesca.As th

Devon’s eyes felt heavy as he struggled to open them. As his eyes opened wide, a flickering candle cast a faint glow in the unfamiliar room. The man blinked a few times, trying to comprehend and guess his whereabouts now. He glanced over to the right and left just to see cracked walls with an arch leading to the unknown. Devon groaned as he tried to sit from his rest and ran his fingers through his hair. Tons of questions were going around inside his head like a carousel. Where was he? How did he come to this place? Where are his friends?As he pressed his fingertips on the temple, Devon heard an indistinct chattering from a room across the long hallway. He sharpened his hearing and realized that the voice belongs to a group of women. He sat in silence and mumbled, “who are they?”The man grew more curious as the laughter was heard. The pleasant and appetizing smell of something cooked made him salivate and his stomach was grumbling heavily. After a few moments, Devon pulled the blanke

Having more people in the group would risk their identity to be discovered, they also didn’t want to endanger a civilian for this, so Roxanne politely refused the offer.“Uh- No, thanks!

Thanks for the offer though, we will be on our merry way!” Roxanne answers awkwardly, she tries to escape the conversation along with Devon who skitters away from the Town Hall.“Ma’am? Ma’am! I can give you a discount price!” Yell the officer trying to haggle with now running away Roxanne and Devon. His voice began to diminish into thin air as Roxanne and Devon hurried their steps.“That was a close call, that officer was quite persistent” Sigh Devon.“Yeah...

I never tried to live in this house even though back then Madame Marie allows it. Being in this place would just bring me suffering as I vividly remember the tragedy of that day...” The old man’s stature lowers.“But even so, this place holds a lot of memories for me. I always check the house from time to time. That’s why I thought the gentleman here is some ruffian that tries to take over the building.
