The ancient poetry recital

The asylum is very big so as it was cloudy we decided to walk a little faster but more cautiously so as not to make noise.

" Laura, Antonia, walk faster, I found the stairs to go to the fourth floor."

They walked faster to keep up with him and when Laura reached the top of the stairs she spoke.

“I think I'd better go somewhere else."

"Why Laura?" - Tae asks.

"Well, aren't you seeing any spirits?"

"To where?"

"Only I see?"

"I don't see anything, why? What did you see?" – Antonia speaks worried.

"You really see it, don't you?"

" I do not see anything."

"You really don't see what I see, because if you had, I wouldn't have asked."

"Speak up Laura, where is he? I want to take a picture of the place who knows appears on camera." - Tae speaks enthusiastically.

"Down here, at the bottom of the stairs, they're near the window, but you can't see them."

"Are the spirits you're seeing women?"

" No Tae, in reality there are three children, three girls."

" I don't know if I really want to take this picture, I wanted to do it before, you detailed it, now I'm not sure if I want..." - He said that looking down the stairs.

Laura couldn't stop looking at them, for those spirits weren't frightened by their presence, much less seemed to be lost, as they were playing on the stairs and near the window. One of them started looking at Laura.

"Lady, remove this girl from this place, please, this is not the place for her..." - The girl in a red flowered dress and blonde hair, speaks pointing to Antonia."

"Lady bearers of angels cannot come to this place, it is not allowed... because here it is forbidden for celestial beings to come to this house." - Speaks the black girl with curly black hair and a yellow dress with blood stains on the collar of her dress.

"This is a place to pay for our sins, we're here for having done horrors in your eyes, so it's not just us who are paying for our sins here, go away for the angel's sake." – Says the red-haired girl in a white dress and white bloodstained tights.

"What happened, Laura? Why does she look at me like that?" – Laura takes a deep breath.

" They asked you to leave Antonia."

" I don't even get out of here!"

"Please listen..."

“No, that means there's really good stuff to put on the website, and we've just arrived too."

"Please listen to Antonia, this is an alert they want to give you!"

"I thank you, Laura... but I came here to do my job, let's go as soon as time flies."

We went down the stairs, we passed the girls and reached the fourth floor, arriving there we noticed that there was noise, which echoed down the hall, so curious we followed the sound and got to the focus of the noise, so we could find out what it was about. Even being very curious I was worried about the warning given by the girls, because if it were real Antonia was in danger, and even worse was in danger being pregnant and I didn't even know, how would she talk to Tae? How would he react to that? We walked until we reached an old door that seemed to have been carved by hand had very beautiful figures made on it, through a crack in the door we could hear people talking and applauding inside. Antonia seemed excited about that and spoke.

"Well, there are people here so I'll go inside and see what it's about, from what I see there are only elderly people inside reciting poetry, I knew that the challenge was pure bullshit."

" No Antonia I'll go there, if something happens I'll run away and you'll stay here watching everything through the door and if you see something suspicious, get out of here I'll take care of myself after all I have a knife with me if I need to defend myself." - Tae looks at Laura not happy.

" I understand your intention Laura... you want my death, you want Rei to kill me, don't you?"

"You know not."

" Look, you can go, after all, it's better to run if you notice something strange, because they may be old, but did you notice that there isn't any car out there? Except ours?"

" Yes it's true."

" And also the nearest bus stop is two farms from here? They are old but they are resistant and I dare say they are even strong when they want to!"

" Understood, Tae, I'll be careful..." - I opened the door little by little so that whoever was inside wouldn't see Tae and Antônio who were outside.

I opened the door and heard a poem being recited by a very old lady with very white hair, she was all in white with her hair adorned with a pearl tiara, but out of nowhere she stopped and looked at me as if she was expecting me I sat down so I could continue. When I realized all eyes were on me as I was at the door, I felt a little embarrassed as I was the center of attention at that moment, one of the ladies got up, she was wearing a white nightgown with gold embroidery, she smelled of lavender and she was also with gold adornments, necklace rings and earrings, she was coming towards me, so I closed the door, she approached me and took my hand.

"Enter my young daughter, welcome to our recital, it's always good to have a young blood among us..." - The Golden Lady speaks with a smile on her face, Laura gave the lady a smile.
