Was it due to the fact the place was so mysterious to her and was somehow eerie looking that Elizabeth felt a little bit scared? She was trembling in fear of what the sound could be. She didn't clearly hear it, but she was sure it was a man's voice.
The question is… Did the voice come from a living man or something else?
She had no time to waste being afraid of it won't be long till her father comes home in fear that she might do something out of control. He gathered her wits and as she was about to speak. The voice spoke ahead of her.
"The last time I saw you, you were just a little girl. Now, look at you, all grown up."
Elizabeth turned and there she saw an old man peeking from the second floor. He had some books in his hand as he headed down the stairs.
'Ah, it's him…' She clearly recalled the man from her childhood. He was surprised to see how much he had aged. Made her curious of how old he is now.
