Music Recommendation: Silent Hill Maternal
.
That night when Marie died, Belle didn't sleep that well and she had a rather disturbed sleep which kept her half-awake. It was like she was awake yet she was asleep and dreaming that made the dream feel real in her mind where she could see touch.
Belle stood outside the mansion. She didn't know what she was doing here all alone on the street. The mansion she had grown in stood at a distance with the gates that weren't closed as they used to at night. The gates were open, waiting for someone to get inside but she didn't know why it looked different. As if it were old, dull and bleak that was abandoned for years now.
There was no light and there no soul that she could see. The plants that the servants and Lucas had grown around the mansion had dried and withered away on the ground with no flowers or leaves, almost dead.
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she told herself she was dreaming yet this felt surreal to doubt it wasn't real.
