"No!!!No!! Stop!" screamed Moon. He's twitching on his bed. Trying to get out of all the maid's grip. "Clarisse! Bring me hot towel! Now!" shouted Giselle, holding her son's chest. Moon's face turned a shade of white. "Wake up Moon! Wake UP!" shouted Giselle.
Moon open his eyes by force. His bloodshot eyes looked around at everyone. He tried to speak but no words come out from his dried mouth. His mother, Giselle, placed the hot towel on his forehead. He closed his eyes for a minute or two. He opened them again. Looking tired, with his hair all messed up, he sat up and took a drink of ginger ale offered from the butler beside him.
"What happen?" asked Moon. He realize that his voice has change to hoarse voice. For once, it sounded like his father. "You fainted in the bathroom. I was downstairs when I heard your screams. When I got up, your door was lock. I had to call Charles to slam the door." said Giselle, pointing at the door. Moon looked at the direction his mother was pointing.
Indeed, the door was on the floor. At the side of the lock was those of the chipped wood. He look around for Charles the butler, just to call him to get the door fixed as soon as possible. "What happen, son?" continue Giselle. "Why are you screaming?"
Moon looked pale. He started to look at his glass of ginger ale. The water just twirl and twirl. "I had a nightmare.." he started. Paused. He stopped. He looked at the clock. It shows 19:35 p.m. "Did I fell or something? I remember I was suppose to be bathing and it's morning." said Moon, massaging his head. "When we rush up to see you sir, you were lying in the bathtub drowning, just like some force pulling you in. We had to pull you out. You were drowning." said one butler from across the room. It was Michael, head butler.
"When we pulled you out, you were twitching and screaming." said Clarisse, changing the water from the bucket for the towel on Moon's forehead. "Son, what is the nightmare about?" said Giselle, rubbing Moon's forehead. She realize that he is gazing emptily out to the dark sky.
Oh Moon, why can't you tell your own mother what is in your mind? thought Giselle.
She stood up, ordered the rest of the maids and butlers to clear the room and let her son to rest. "Rest well, son." said Giselle and started to walk towards the door. "Mother, wait.." said Moon. "I'll fix the door." said Giselle. She lifted her right hand and pointed at the broken down door. Immediately, the broken pieces flew up and the door was fixed. Hinges was repaired. "Thanks, Mother." said Moon and closed his eyes. "I wish for once you would call me mummy instead of just mother." said Giselle and she walk off with her door close behind her.

Tonight. Cold and damp. It rained during the afternoon. A lot of things these past few days. Especially to Moon thought Giselle silently. As she walked through the hallway, the room lit with a shade of orange light from somewhere near the corner of the hall. I can sense her anywhere near even if death took my old soul away.
She open the door to her bedroom. The whole room is covered with rice yellow wallpaper with candle lit room. The ceiling is made out of glass so that the clear dark sky is seen. She walk towards her bookshelf and took a black book, covered in dust. Giselle carried it towards her table and flipped it through a few pages, scrolling through hundreds of words. "Aha! I knew it!" said Giselle.
She slam the book tight, gather ten black candles and walk towards the center of her room. She place the five candles, making a circular shape and lit them. she then sit outside the circle and make a continuous chant. Smoke started to come out from the middle of the circle. As she chanted more loudly, a voice behind her ears sounded.
"Hello, Giselle. Long time no see." said the voice.
"YOU!"
