--------------------------------

After getting engaged to a man she's never met. Caroline moves to the Van Estate, where she realizes that her husband to be, is not who he seems.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Caroline!"

The voice of her pursuer calls out to her, as she turns down the darkly lit corridor, hoping to elude them. But the footsteps only get closer, and closer. She runs down the end of the corridor, to a crossroad.

"Right or left?"

The footsteps get closer.

"Was the exit right or left?!"

She thinks to herself, as the voice once again calls out to her.

"Caroline! Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

"Right!"

She turns down the right corridor and runs as fast as she's able. As she gets closer, a bright light shines through. Causing her to almost leap with joy, she had chosen the right way! Or at least that's what she had thought. As she gets closer she realizes that this is in fact a dead end. The light was coming from a window; taking up the majority of the wall. She turns to go back, but she's met with a familiar pair of vibrant, purple eyes, staring back at her from the end of the hallway. She freezes in fear, as the figure grins, and calmly walks towards her.

"Found you."

The Countess and Her Knight

 A few days went by, and the letter hadn't come. Caroline had a little flicker of hope, that maybe the rumors were true. Maybe she was mad. That hope was quickly snuffed out as Edmond walked into the dining room. She had already begun eating, and had not rung for him. In the pit of her stomach she knew why he had come. 


 “This letter arrived for you and the Count dismorning while you were resting in the garden.” Edmond says, holding the letter out to her. Caroline hesitantly takes it from his hand. "Thank you." Caroline opens the letter, and unsurprisingly, it was news from Sir. Elton's disappearance. Caroline hands the letter back to Edmond. "I'll be returning to my bed-chamber, thank you for the meal." Edmond bows to Caroline as she leaves. 


 "The diary, I have to finish reading the diary!" Caroline thinks to herself as she runs up to her bed-chamber.
