<div style="text-align: justify;">Mary Ann was feeling scared and tense in that house, and when she felt that prick on her arm, she couldn’t help but let out a muffled scream and jump in place. Turning around to see what had hurt her, the young woman blinked several times, too confused to figure out what was going on. Feeling nervous, Mary Ann decided that her mind was simply playing tricks on her.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, Mary Ann felt that she was completely isolated. It was as though she was alone in the entire world, hearing nothing but her own breathing, for a moment. Seeing someone made Mary Ann perk up a little, but it didn’t last long. It seemed as though the servant wasn’t even seeing her. The new bride had nearly given up, but when the man said that one word, she decided to obey.<br/><br/>Following this strange servant hadn’t been a good idea. Mary Ann walked and walked, and the sensation of being lost in the house made her nervous. What was going on? Where was this man leading her to? Mary Ann didn’t know, but she was following anyway. As the place changed, she felt even more unnerved. It was an odd feeling, as though someone or something would creep up behind her and do God knows what. As the man vanished from sight, Mary Ann shook her head, confused. What was she supposed to do now…?<br/><br/>Mary Ann didn’t have too much time to think, though. As the walls shook, the young woman placed a hand on the closest wall, too confused to think clearly and see that, in case it was actually an earthquake, that would not be a smart choice. Hearing that growl made the woman’s blood run cold. What, in the Holy Father’s name, was that? <br/><br/>The only door she could use to escape the creature was locked, and Mary Ann was nearly ready to die when the door opened. Allowing Katherine to pull her in, Mary Ann moaned softly as she felt the pain on her arm, but she didn’t protest. Once inside, Mary Ann stood still, her body shaking a little. She was obviously terrified. <br/><br/>Taking the book offered to her, she looked at Katherine and shook her head. “I… but… I... “. With a sigh, Mary Ann stopped speaking and walked to wherever she found anything - be it a chair or anything else - she could sit on, since her legs were trembling too much. “Are there actual hauntings?”, she asked quietly, then showing the woman her arm. “This is not an illusion or a trick. You do see it, do you not?”, she inquired, her voice trembling.</div>
