XIII

In the morning I stayed in bed not wanting to face anyone. I don't know how long I had been laying there, but eventually there was a soft knock on the door and Elizabeth turned the knob and came inside.

"How are you?" she asked, coming to sit beside me on my bed.

"I'm alright," I told her stroking my thumb across her cheek. Her fingers wrapped around mine cradling it in hers and tenderly kissed it.

"I love you," she whispered running a hand through my hair.

"I love you more."

"That's impossible," she said with a grin.

"Really? then tell me how far does your love for me stretch, will you ever stop loving me?"

"Probably," she began, "on the day after forever."

Elizabeth eventually coaxed me into joining everyone down stairs for tea. Elizabeth poured the tea, and set out the milk and sugar. Alfread dropped precisely three cubes of sugar into his cup stirring it for a moment with his spoon and brought it to his lips.

I simply blew on mine and sipped it slowly. We had been making small talk when Alfread's eyes suddenly went wide in fear and he pointed a finger behind us.

"What is it?" I asked him turning around, I saw nothing.

"William, you were right. It's a ghost we are cursed!" he wailed.

Elizabeth's eyes went wild in fear and she grabbed my arm for protection. Still I could not see it but I knew the others could.

The Holy water, I thought, it was supposed to get rid of these spirits! 

"William," Elizabeth cried, "can you see it it's him, he's here!"

"No, I can't I-

It's him, he's here! I remembered just like my dream.
