Shadow from the beyond

Music Recommendation: Dreadful Stories- Kensuke Ushio

Eve stared at the shadow not too far from where she stood. At first, she believed it to be Erasmus, who hadn't moved from his place. But when the fog in the air started to settle, her eyes widened.

For a moment, she believed it was a woman because of the golden blond hair that fell on the back of the person, but when the person turned to the side, did she realise that this was a man. A man who shared the same features as her. Her blue eyes and golden hair, and as logic started to move in her mind, she felt her heart squeeze in her chest. 

"Father…?" Eve's lips moved with the voice not coming out. 

When Erasmus's eyes finally fell on the man, he first looked confused and demanded, "Who the fuck are you? Where is my mermaid-siren?" For a second, he was mistaken that the woman had turned into a man to trick him. But then his eyes fell on Eve, who stood at the back.
