After the scrumptious dinner, I went to my room; I opened the window so that, the cool breeze can come in. I sat on the study table besides the door switching on the table lamp and writing my book. I glanced at my watch, it was thirty minutes past ten, I heard a knock on the door, and I looked at the door. The door was opened ajar, a voice whispered, and it was Torrie, I told her to come inside. She entered my room, and she looked around in the room was asking about my day with Sable. I was a bit worried that, Why she is very much concerned about it? But I didn't ask her directly, as my blurting would hurt her. I stood and told her that, we just had a chat; I went towards the open window, parting the curtains, and turned around walking some steps towards her. She stepped forward, and came to the middle of room; Torrie crossed her hands across her body, and said, "Have you been to Madam's study room. Haven't You?" I was surprised to hear, and then she told me that, Sable is expert in tarot cards work up there and also she had seen me going to the study room with her. 

I was surprised by this and replied, "NO wonder, you are a Smart Women." She beamed and then finally, I told her about my storyline at the room. She raised her hands, covering her cheeks, in surprise, I could see the fear in her eyes, and then, she again crossed her arms around her body to stop shivering, she told me that, every night she can hear the whispers and during night the second floor becomes extremely dark and cold. I told her, about my last night adventure. She was glad that, I kept my promise, as I didn't come out. No doubt Torrie was a talkative women and she liked to interact more, and then I apologized to her about today's morning because, I had been sarcastic on her which, I shouldn't have done, she smiled revealing her beautifully aligned pearly teeth, looking straight at me and said, "I don't mind Sir, You are a Gentleman, I had ever seen in my life, I know you will never hurt me or anyone deliberately." I smiled and replied, "Don't call me Sir." Her eyes were sparkling, and I asked about her Family. She said that, she was living in a nearby town, but she has no one at home except for her Cousin Brother, who was living at her home. She told me that, she is educated, but didn't have any job so finally, at last due to her despair, she decided to work here. Very seldom she goes Home and also, when Sable permits once in a year. I informed about the ball, she told me that, she's not supposed to be come for the ball, but Sable is taking her so that, she can give a helping hand at Lily's house. 

She asked me whether, I am married or not, I informed that, I am not married yet; maybe it's on the destiny. The Moon shone very brightly flooding the room; her face was jittering in the room. I was swamped by the glittering light of the room, and of course her beauty and charm of on her face, which was turning stunning. I said, "You look beautiful like a Moon." My heart was throbbing and I didn't know whether, Torrie had cast spelled on me, and why I was saying this to her? I never had a nerve to talk to a Woman in this way, I didn't know, but she was looking adorable, and I couldn't stop my tidal wave of feelings. Torrie let her hands fall down, she lowered her eyes and replied, "Thank You Sir, No one had complimented me yet." She was clutching the sides of her gown with her hands, I raised her chin towards me, and said soothingly, "Don't call me Sir, dear. I have a name." Her face blushed like rose, and she had shyness over her face. She gave me a demurring smile, we involuntarily came close, I groped my hands around her, one my hands rested on her waist, the locks of her hairs were tingling on her cheeks, and then I raised my hand and tucked the hair behind her right ear. She stared at me, and then, she hung her hands around my neck, I gently pulled her closer to me, her head rested on my chest, she looked towards me, then I moved my head further, I kissed her virgin lips and we had a passionate kiss, everything around us seemed to be twirling around and a cold gust of winds flew across the room. 

She was shocked and pulled herself, I saw the hairs covering her face like cobweb due to the breeze, then I parted her hairs gently tucking it behind her ears, She stared at me and confessed, "I have never felt my heart throbbing like this, I think, the first time, I saw you, my heart developed feelings for you, but I thought its vague, and now, I think even you have the same for me." I nodded, and she replied with a smile, "Now we need to get a Good Sleep and get ready for the ball tomorrow." I said jokingly, "Yes, if you want, you can sleep in this room." Her cheeks turned rosy and I continued, "when I go back home, I will take you with me." She wanted to say something, but she didn't. She withdrew the hands from me, but her eyes were fixed on me, perhaps she didn't had the intention to leave me but, there was no way; she smiled and swirled around thus leaving the room. I felt glad but I didn't know, why she didn't say anything? And she didn't reply, when I told her about taking her to my home.

Then after some days, I will realize that, her silence meant about the horror in this house.
