Chapter 109: Hide-and-Seek
When Flora arrived at the laundry room, she looked around and saw that Nadi was nowhere to be found. She tried to calm her nerves as she knew that her daughter could be hiding inside the storage room. She walked calmly towards the storage room and opened the door to look inside. She flicked on the lights, but she still could not see any trace of Nadi. She felt her heart beat faster. She shouldn’t have let Nadi stay at the laundry room by herself.
“Nadi…” Flora called softly. “It’s Mommy. Are you here?”
Flora heard a soft giggle and she felt relief flood over her. She entered the storage room and decided to play along.
“Hmm… I wonder if someone is hiding behind those boxes!” said Flora as she looked behind the boxes of detergent. “I thought I heard someone giggling.”
Nadi giggled louder.
“I know. Maybe there’s someone hiding inside the cabinet!” Flora then op

Flora did not realize it, but she breezed through the dining room and across the entrance hall until she got to the wide staircase. Her footsteps were mostly muffled by the carpet, but it was also the force of habit that she maintained her steps light as she crossed what she considered to be hallowed halls of the mansion. Upon reaching the wide staircase that opened to the entrance hall, she held on to the bannister of carved wood for support and climbed up the steps as fast as she could. She reached the landing and walked quickly towards the south wing.The portraits that hung on the walls seemed to watch her as she sped along with a single intent in her mind – to reach the room where her daughter was. Nothing else mattered to her but Nadi who remained the single purpose of her life. Without her daughter, Flora knew that h

Flora and Nadi was walking towards the staircase when she heard voices of servants who were coming up from the opposite wing. She realized that she was bound to be discovered with Nadi if she continued to walk towards the staircase. She knew that she needed to act fast before the servants get to where she and Nadi were. Then, she saw the storage room and decided to hide there. Immediately, she and Nadi ran to the storage room and she let Nadi sit behind the laundry baskets.The voices got louder as the servants went closer to the storage room.

Without thinking she did something that she would otherwise not do.After a while, the door to the storage room opened wide. The servants stopped talking abruptly when they saw Flora inside.“Oh!” said one of the se

As Flora went back to the mansion, Nadi stayed inside the storage room and waited. She always found herself alone when her mother was at work so Nadi did not mind having to stay for a while inside the enclosed space. She found the presence of her doll comforting whenever she was left alone and would even talk to it as if it were a real playmate.“What do you want to do, Dolly?” Nadi asked her doll and placed an ear over the doll’s mouth as if to listen to it speak.“You know we can’t go outside,” replied Nadi. “Mommy, told us to stay here.”Nadi went silent as she pretended to listen to her doll.“I can sing for you if you’re sad,” Nadi replied. Then, she started singing her nursery rhymes while making her doll dance on the floor. Nadi giggled as she imagined her doll dancing merrily while she sang. All of a sudden, Nadi heard the door to the storage room open and she went quiet. She crouch
Vampire of the New World Chapter 114: Escape from the Mansion
Flora felt the water on her face and realized that she had been crying. She wiped the tears of her cheeks with her hands and steadied herself by leaning on the bannister. She was still trembling and found it hard to forget what she had just witnessed. She saw the master glide across the floor towards her and Nadi and in her very eyes, she saw him transform into the hideous reptilian creature that she only thought existed in stories told her when she was a child. However, it was his final transformation when his face turned into that pallid face with burning eyes that made her tremble. Seeing those eyes only confirmed what she had tried to deny. The stories about the ember ghost were true and she had seen him in her very eyes. She felt dizzy and her breathing was uneven as she held on to Nadi while leaning onto the bannister.Nadi had buried her face into her mother’s body, too afraid to look after seeing the horrific images to which Dante had appeared. She hugged

She felt disoriented, but continued to push the three sisters away from her and her daughter. When she saw them gathering above her and Nadi, she decided to cover her daughter with her body.Flora screamed when she felt a pair of hands lifting her off the ground and she tried to keep Nadi close to her. She swung her arms to the air wildly, not knowing if she would be able to hurt the three sisters. She hit them as hard as she could with her hands until she felt them back away from her.“This is a feisty one!” said one of the sisters, surprised at how Flora was able to hold them off.“That thing the little one is wearing though!” warned the second sister.“Surely, you’re not afraid of that small thing!” said the third sister.“

Flora woke up from the sound of flapping wings and realized that they were birds that were nesting inside the cave. She immediately looked beside her and found that Nadi was holding her arm and was still asleep. The fire she had built a few hours ago had not fully extinguished and there were still live embers as well as small tongues of fire rising from the remaining firewood.Flora gently removed Nadi’s arm and looked out of the cave. It was morning and she knew that she needed to get food for Nadi and herself. She decided that she should go to the vegetable patch and pick some of the vegetables and then go fetch some water for them to drink. She intended to get as much food as she could and stay inside the cave with Nadi as much as she could.Knowing that she could not leave her daughter alone in the cave, not after what they had experienced the previous night, she gently tapped Nadi’s arm to wake her up.“Wake up, Nadi,” said Flo

She immediately held Nadi tightly and tried to cover her daughter with her own body. All of a sudden, Emil froze in his tracks. He shook his head and held his forehead with his hand. When he raised his chin, lift fell on his face and Flora saw that the evil look in his eyes were gone. Flora saw the friendly Emil that she had talked to the last time that she was in the greenhouse.“Emil… I know you recognize us. Please stop what you’re doing and help us,” Flora pleaded.
