"Hello.." I answered the phone "Hello!"
"Ekkari zilarrezko ontziak" he uttered some weird words "Han, mesedez"
"Umm, Jonathan! Who are you talking to? Who's Zilar?"
"Oh! Honey you're on phone! It's not someone. I'm preparing the silverware for an important dinner"
"Umm.. So, what's a zilar?"
"It's silver in Basque"
"Our cook is named Zilar.."
"Oh lucky! Means he's silver!"
"Don't joke about this, I'm serious. Many weird things are happening around. Someone's telling me to die and go away, Flori said there are 6 ghosts around, and ah..."
I lost my breathe all again when remembering what happened the las night..
"Yes.. And?" he stated "What happened next?"
"And.. Huph.. Last night.." I sobbed "Last night, someone was watching me.. I.. I heard footsteps coming towards me.. They stood at my door.. Opened the knob.. And glared at me for moments.. When I turned around they left fastly.. Uh.."
"Oh dear, it might be a servant worried about you or checking on you. Don't worry there are no such as ghosts"
"Jon.. What if someone.. A human I mean.. Might hurt me again.. Just like that criminal"
"Take it easy.. I won't be late.. We'll get to know everything.. Don't worry"
"Jon, I'm worried. Did you hear anything about ghosts here?
"Umm.. I bought the mansion frok a friend of mine.. He said many weird things occurred, but I didn't believe in ghosts.. I'm sorry, rather than protecting you I made you face dangers alone.."
"Its ok.. I'll be fine.. But I want you to search for something.."
"What is it?"
"A crime! That happened here long ago, please"
My suspicions were roaming in my mind, that I needed to consider anything especially a crime..
Zilar means silver.. So what do the other names mean...
I had to discover more and more in order to uncover the truth.. The first step I did is collecting all of the evidences in hand..
I went to Jonathan's library, where he used to work their. It's a calm place where you can find whatever information you need.
First of all, we have three suspicious people: Zilar the silver, Flori and Cobre. If Zilar is silver in Basque, could the other names mean specific words in Basque. But the fact is that they don't have a meaning..
Second, as I found on the every place of the house, four unusual words: Oro, Argento, Rame and Diamante.. Are they a code? Or some people for real?
Third, the voices with unknown source.. I mean, I still don't know who's saying these words, in the end it must be someone, but I don't really know who.
Fourth, the one who was standing on my door.. Maybe it is the same who cause the sounds.. Who knows?
Fifth and the last mystery, is the mystery if "the room". The place where no one is allowed to get near, it is closes and only the servants know what's there. I am the boss here, I should be allowing and denying. I must get near it and discover more.
There must be something hidden, and everything happening is to scare me from knowing more.
After a long day of working and searching I finally found one more clue, it was a little note inside a book, it said: "I feel unsafe"
"Huh?! What does it mean? Who is it from?" I thought "A simple old note won't help me any more"
I feel unsafe too, I feel like I'm fastening my end.. Will these actions cause me more troubles?... I can't stop now..
....
At 11:33 pm, I went to my bed, I had to sleep earlier, but whatever I do I wouldn't ever be able to sleep..
Tic tac..
Tic tac..
Tic tac..
The clock was tic-tacing all the time, it's voice was louder today.. It became 1:00 am and I couldn't sleep..
My eyes started to feel heavy.. They were dozing off from a while to another..
Until.. A pair of eyes showed from my window.. They were glaring at me.. I was looking at them.. And a large silhouette showed up under the moon light.. It was tall and big, holding an axe with their hands..
They didn't escape this time.. They didn't deviate my eyes from mine.. I wasn't able to move as my heart beatet fastly and my body was mesmerized...
I knew it.. My end is so soon..
They knew everything.. They wouldn't allow me to know more.. They will kill me.. This time..
"Why..." I sobbed.. And cried alot... I wasn't able to do anything but cry..
The knob started moving fastly.. It was turning insanely.. And they started pushing the door until they broke in..
The person rushed into my room and pulled me hardly.. They hold me tightly and I resisted while crying..
"Leave me.." I screamed "Uh.. Let go of me.. Leave me alone.."
I scratched and pushed the person back, I wanted to fight at my most to survive..
"Leave me alone" I continued "Ahh... Let me go.. Noo"
"Calm down" they said "Look at me.. Please calm down.. Relax"
The voice wasn't strange to me... As I looked at their face, I noticed it was Jon, my fiance..
"Jon" I cried "Jon.."
"Its me" he said "I'm back"
I pushed him away and screamed: "What have you done?? Don't you know how frightened I am? What do you mean by rushing into someone's room at this time of the night? Have you lost your mind?"
He pulled me into his chest, it was as warm as ever, and murmured in my ear: "calm down princess, I'm sorry"
I stayed like this until I calmed myself..
"It's my room" he said
"Oh.." I replied "Yes.. Um.. It's yours.."
"Why are you frightened?"
"Jon.. Jon.. Someone was here a second ago.. They were looking at me.. They were holding something.. They wanted to kill me Jon.. Believe me.."
"I believe you. We'll return back home. Don't worry.."
"Jon.. Welcome back. I really like it, when you are with me..."
