Chapter 16 - SUNSHINE

(SUNSHINE)

James stood next to Victoria while holding the book in his right hand and said, “The Anniston residence, I believe what took place in that house has always been one of the most famous stories for a very long time, it might have been because of the sudden death of the family’s youngest son. Apparently, he died the day after he eloped with a young lady, he became smitten with, and from my knowledge, the family knew nothing about the young lady and the whole matter. That was the biggest reason for the family’s downfall.

Now Victoria, from your last name I believe Brian Anniston must have been that son was he not? You got married hastily and from what I have been able to gather up, your husband died the night of your wedding and you disappeared, never to be heard of again. So, what happened to your husband exactly?”

Victoria looked right into James’s eyes with total determination and said, “I myself have never been able to find out what happened that night as well, I am not even sure what had happened to the workers which disappeared that night.” While Victoria and James argued intensively about the whole matter, Adam took the book from James’s hand and when Adam opened a specific page in the book James said, “There was one thing which you made a mistake of in the novel Victoria. You wrote about what happened the night your husband died, the words, ‘THE TASTE OF THE RED WINE COULD SOMEHOW CONSOLE A SHATTERED HEART, THE DRIP AND FRAGILITY WOULD STILL REMINISE IN MY MIND’. I’m sure you wrote those words not knowing they would share themselves as a gateway into the book.” And with those words Adam had opened the page of the novel which had that scene in it, Adam ended up getting himself sucked into the book.

James smiled looking at the book which was left behind y Adam and said, “I figured there would be a reason behind Adam’s little visit to your book.”

James got teleported back to the room he was in originally with grandma, he stood in total disbelief for a moment until the room started to manifest itself, grandma stood right next to James with the words, “SALVAGE, a room which allows memories to roam around freely without being bound by time. I believe this is where you can find miss Victoria again.”

And right after the room completed itself there was a figure in the distance which looked like a woman standing next to a man. James smiled brightly and said, “So that is what he meant by ‘the drip and fragility would still remise in my mind’ I believe she found what she was looking for, using Mr Anderson as a pawn was her plan to begin with. Now the problem is how and if we can be able to free Mr Anderson from the novel.

James and grandma left the room swiftly and right after that, the room disappeared into the walls of the bookstore. James held onto the book which he had left with by mistake in the house which belonged to Victoria and said, “Adam allowed himself to fall prey to the obsession of a mourning wife, the problem is, the fact that he may not b able to see what really happened the night the husband died. I guess he may never know about the real story behind his favourite love story. NOT EVERY STORY HAS A HAPPY ENDING, NOT EVRY FAIRYTALE HAS A DAMSEL WHO NEEDS TO BE RESCUED”

That's the story behind the Salvage room.
