I have to bring Arthur here.
But how?
I knew where I could find answers to my questions.
The Sunshine orphanage.
I knew I couldn't sleep that night.

It was around 9pm.
I went to have a check on Hadley.
She was in her room.
She never came out of her room, be it this house or the previous one.
I so wish she would stay with me in my room but ever since we left that house, she doesn't even talk to me.
She clearly rejected my idea of sharing my bedroom with her.
My Hadley would never behave this way.

Hadley was such a bubbly kid, so joyful!
And now she doesn't even bother to come out of her room.
Dad said that she would resume her school in a day or two.

I went to her room.
She was sitting quietly on her bed playing with her teddies.
"Hey honey", I said with a smile.
"Hey", she replied.
"What are you playing?", I asked.
"I'm having a meeting with Johnny", she said.

Johnny is her teddy's name.
"That's great! Let me play with you?", I asked.
"No.", she replied.
"Why?"
"We'll play something else. A game that's kept in the closet of your room", she said laughing.

These things didn't scare me anymore.
"Wendy. You know what, the exorcism failed once but that won't happen again. You're going to rot in hell", I said.
"I'll take Hadley with me", she said.

I didn't say anything.
Just got up to leave her room.
"See your baby girl for one last time", I heard Wendy's voice.

I turned back.
"Lisa. Please save me.", Hadley said crying.
I just ran towards her and hugged her.
"Sweety I'm going to save you no matter what happens. Don't worry", I said.

"How are you gonna do that sweety?"
It was Wendy again.
"You'll see that later", I said again.

The next morning I woke up early and got ready.
I didn't tell anyone that I wouldn't be going to school.

The driver dropped me at school and I ordered a cab then.
I headed straight to The Sunshine Orphanage.

I couldn't thank my stars enough for the fact that the Orphanage still existed.
There was a young girl sitting at the reception.
"Hey! How may I help you?", she asked with a smile.
"Hi. I'm Lisa. I need some information about two kids who were adopted from your orphanage.", I said.

"I'm sorry ma'am but that wouldn't be possible."
"Please. I request you. It is really important. And those people who I want to know about are dead already.", I said.

"What?"
"Yes. I want to check the records of the year 1850."
"1850", she asked with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Yes please. It's really important." , I pleaded.

"Okay I don't even think that you are gonna find those records here. But there's that store room where all the old records are stacked up. Maybe you find what you need.", she said.

"Thank you so much!", I said and went into that room.

There were so many registers, journals, copies, extracts, papers and what not.
It seemed impossible to find any record which was probably two centuries old.

"Looking for something Lisa?", I heard a voice.
I knew who it was.
Arthur.
