(Based on the movie:The Woman In Black)

""Daddy do you have to go?"

Arthur's fourth year old son asked him while he finished dressing up,the young boy stared back at his father with sadden eyes as he held the couple of drawings he did for the week, one was of all of us together departing by the train station and the end of the week we were reunited once more.

"Why do I look so sad?" Arthur asked his son when he finished buttoning up his coat and finishing up his tie. "Because you always have that face." the bot simply responded and I scoffed a bit and I looked away when Arthur glared at me.

"Are you staying with me, (Y/N)?"

"I'm sorry but not this time, I have to look after your father or he'll be all over the place again." i smiled and messed up the boy's hair. I myself also finished dressing up and we all headed to the train station. There is this house we are visiting, we'll be the only ones willing to stay because it has to be sold but no one near the town of it is willing to buy it. I've known Arthur since we studied together and thought that we were getting closer through out the years but he ended up marrying another girl.

I was jealous of their marriage and both of them having a son together but I kept myself calm and knew that I would get no where in life if i stayed like that, angry at him..so i was the only close friend to the family, but quickly Arthur Kipps lost his wife when she was giving birth and together Arthur and I raised his son. I still held kinda of a grudge on him since ever since his wife's death, he's been silent and distant, he doesn't spend his time with his son cause he looks like his mother.

"Remember to do everything-"

"I know Mr Kipps we'll be fine." the maid told him as the boy clinged onto her, "You look like your mother, i'll be back when you know it." Arthur kissed the boy's head and nodded his head at me. I followed him inside the train and relaxed by the window. I stared at Arthur who had fallen asleep and he woke up gasping and stared around.

"Another nightmare?" i asked blunty.

"Just a memory." he replied taking a deep breathe as he leaned back onto his seat. Not much of a conversation went from between us. The next morning we arrived at a small town, people stared at us weirdly,the place was colder and gloomier than anywhere i've been. We met a man who told us a bit about the house and finally Arthur and I arrived. We made it into the forest like place and saw the house.

It's huge with many plants surrounding the place giving the sign that it's been abandoned for years, as we walked up ahead I swore I saw a woman dressed in black by the top window. So I stopped and Arthur looked back, "What's the matter?"

"I swear i saw woman in there."

He looked up to where I was looking and didnt say a thing, he grasped my wrist and led me inside the abandoned house. Arthur stayed silent and from the corner of my eye I saw something and started to hear voices whispering our names. The old furniture was completely covered in dust and the old tots scattered her and there covered spiderwebs. I stayed silent as I sat down next to my friend who started to read at some letters.

The woman who lived here apparently lost her son in the swamp nearby and his body was never found "Hear that?" Arthur turned around and I did too and we heard this time footsteps. I held his hand tightly as we walked up the stairs.

Turns out that we couldn't find where the noise was coming from. A few days later children began to mysteriously die after a small girl drank bleach and she died on the spot in Arthur's arms. That's the reason why people hated us, they blamed us for their deaths...this night we were staying in the house and I insisted on Arthur to let me stay in the room he was staying in. I do believe that something supernatural is cursing this small town. The only man who was kind to help was was Sam.

"There's been to many deaths..these kids are young and innocent they didn't deserve to die." i mutter and as usual he stays quiet, as if i were talking to myself.

"Don't you care at all?" i asked raising my voice and glaring back at him.

"You think i don't?" he calmly asked me.

"Doesnt look like it,Arthur,you've been acting weird lately like more than usual. " "Will you please stop talking for a while?" he said this time glaring back at me, "You this these deaths are normal? Remember what happened to us back then before you met your wife-"

"Stop it."

"When our child died when I gave birth-"

"Shut up! I've been through enough pain, I lost my first child,i lost my wife and almost lost my son the minute she died. Now stop talking about all these deaths (Y/N), i'm sick of this and you. You think you can fill in my wife's spot but you never will."i felt my heart break when he said that, he shrugged it off and got in bed and turned away so he wouldn't look at me.

"Someday you'll see that you'll need my help and I won't be there to help you."

***********************

Even when Arthur and I refused to talk much we rescued the boy in the swamp and made it back home. Arthur's dark eyes lightened up when he saw his son, and finally i decided that this would be my last trip with Arthur, I can't keep being with the person I love if he doesnt loves me back. I felt someone watching me and when i looked back I saw that woman.

I saw Arthur's son walking down the rail roads as a train approached, "Arthur!" i shouted and felt everything going in slow motion, i jumped down the rails started to grab his son but his shot got stuck, the train was getting closer and closer, I looked to my left and Arthur pushed me aside. I stayed still with my eyes closed till the train past and slowly i opened back my eyes, still staring up ahead shocked at our almost sudden deaths.

"...Arthur? are you okay?" i waited for a response but it never came. I feared the worst and when i looked back tears blurred my vision and I let out a horrified scream as I saw Arthur's body dead body and his son under him.

I felt someone behind me and saw that woman in black one last time.
