She stood a moment, admiring the ebony handle, adorned with twists and carved roses. Taking a deep breath, she gave the door a few hard raps. A few moments later, a little girl in a white dress answered the door. She look, wide-eyed at the beautiful mess in front of her. The girl standing outside the door looked wild, her expensive garments torn, somewhat wet, and twigs in her long, dark, flowing hair. Still shocked at the sight in front of her, the little girl in the white dress remained silent, gaping. Then the beautiful creature outside spoke. “Can I see Henry, please?” the girl asked anxiously, looking over the little girl into the house. “Wha..what’s your name,” asked the little girl, who was still shocked. Most people who came to the house were terrified, but this girl showed an eagerness to be inside of it. “Oh, I’m Anna. Sorry, I forgot my manners. I’m looking for Henry. I have something quite important to tell him.” The little girl nodded, motioning for Anna to come inside. Once she stepped in the house, the door banged suddenly behind her. But Anna did not jump or appear squeamish, even as she looked around the dark foyer. Candles glowed on the wall, giving the room an eerie feel. The house was not especially dirty, but felt damp and smelled of must.
