Upon entering the manor's foyer, Kelly got on her tiptoes to catch a glimpse of the Grand Gallery's direction amidst the bustling tourists.

Clara however wandered off and was busy taking in her surroundings, staring in awe at the stained glass art that comprised the domed ceiling just above the huge spiral staircase.

Finding herself standing under the rays of sunlight streaming through the glass, Clara couldn't help but look down and notice the intricate patterns seemingly carved into the tiles that made up the whole floor.

Feeling giddy, she gave a full twirl, causing the flowy material of her skirt to move along with her. This place, it felt both new and familiar to her, like seeing a childhood friend again after a long time has passed.

She was pulled away from her thoughts when she heard Kelly calling for her from the entrance of the Grand Gallery.

As Clara hurried over to her sister, she failed to notice the two shadowy figures watching her, well-hidden from under the huge marble staircase.

The smaller of the two figures turned, and observed his master's deep amber eyes staring intently at the woman's retreating form before saying, "It seems she has come back after all these years, Your Highness."

The man in question remained silent before a grin slowly spread on his face, white fangs gleaming amidst the shadows.

"That she has, indeed."

So, I guess Clara was here before, but somehow forgot it. I wonder how that played out? Alzheimer's? What about her sister? Why didn't she remember the place? Also, what were Clara's expectations? Why did Clara have expectations?

It was nice to see that the manor was already living up to Clara’s expectations.

Your story has impressed me certainly we agree that they had already been in that property, the details you have given have liked me. Only I visualized that Clara and Kelly's life would change from that day. Receive my affection friend @iamraincrystal.

I was secretly hoping someone would do a mysterious, maybe past life 'Clara's been here before' take 😄 Your description of Clara twirling in the sunlight as she felt right at home was really nice. And what an ominous ending, with the fangs and:

"That she has, indeed."

It makes me wish it was longer!
