There are 3 main endings to this story, will you find them all? Just follow the word links in the story and enjoy!
[[Start]]
It's a warm summer day in the east woods, where you are picking flowers for your mother. You fill your basket with [[daisies]] [[tulips]] and [[roses]] smelling them as you go, with a giant smile on your face. As the afternoon passes, all seems well. You end up falling asleep under a tall [[oak tree]]as the gentle winds caress you to sleep.
[[Bolt]]You think of daisies as the baby flower of the bunch. It is small, lovely, and cute to look at, and they smell sweet! They are also great for making flower crowns due to their size.
[[Start]] A melody of differnt shades of purple and white flowers dance around you with the wind. These flowers happen to be your mother's favorite!
[[Start]] Ah the flower of love and passion. You know this from many fairytales your mom reads you before bed. The rose reminds you of your favorite fairytale, Beauty and the Beast!
[[Start]] This tall old tree has been here for centuries. Time's presence is known through the moss that hugs this tree's bark. It's looming shade and the gentle breeze of the tree's lull you to sleep.
[[Start]] Suddenly, a loud clash of thunder jolts you from your sleep! The sky turning dark, stormy, and threating. Franticly, you grab your basket and dash blindly into the forest. You always had a fear of thunderstorms, just the booming sound and the thought of being stabed by a thunderbolt, made you run even faster. You ran for a while until you reached a large [[black gate]], that looked very imtimidating and strange. You hear the storm approching fast do you [[go in]] or [[turn around]]?The gate entrance surrounding the mansion was tall, dark, and scary looking. On the top it had sharp, spear like tops, twisted moss and greenery, and in the middle you saw the letters RB, in the shape of a family crest. It made you wonder about the history of this place and why it was in shambles.
[[Bolt]]
You would rather have some shelter then nothing at all. You pull open the gate and make your way into the estate. As you look around, you see untrimmed hedges, towering statues some headless, some not. Moss groing on every surface, and you see a graveyard shrouded in fog on a [[lonely hill]] in the distance. You finally approch the big tall doors of a huge victorian mansion. Gargoyals statues guarding the entrance, with an immtimidating look that sent shivers down your spine. You grab the knockers and knock. An echo was sent through the estate. You wait.... No answer... You knock again even saying
"Hello? Anyone home?" Still nothing. As you turn around to leave, a cold gust of air hit your back. You saw the door slowly opening and you [[step inside.]]The thought of entering this place didn't set well. You then turned around and ran back towards the storm, trying to find another path. The rain becomes too much mixed with the thunder and wind. You trip into the muddy path and a flash of lightning strikes the tree behind you. The tree falls and crushes you with it. You can feel the bones cracking all over your body, gasping for air as the tree makes you sufficate. You try to push the tree off you, but everything goes black.
[[BAD END 1: TIMBER!!!!!!!}
[[Start]] The hill in the distance had grave stone adorning every surface. Giving it a sad lonely feel to it. You even see a weeping willow on the very top emphisising the sadness.
[[go in]] When you enter the mansion, your voice echoed again when asking if anyone was home. Dust was on every object, cobwebs in every corner, and it was dark and grim. You see a grand staircase in the distance and at the top was a [[portrait]] of a family. You move closer to go up the stairs, but a light catches the corner of your eye.
You hear someone or something approching you. Trying to stay calm you stay still, hoping that it's not a monster or anything. A candlestick comes into view and the thing holding it, was a beautiful woman in a maid outfit. She had hazelnut brown hair in a bun, a maid's tiara on her head, saphire blue eyes that shinned in the darkness, overall she seemed like a beautiful young woman. She then spoke,
"Well hello there! Forgive the dust and cobwebs, we don't noramlly get visitors as much as we use to, but you are welcome here! My name is [[Helene]] It is nice to meet you miss!"You get a closer look at the portait, and you see that it is a family of three. A father, Mother, and a small baby cradled in her mother's arms. From the looks of their outfits and the quality of the portait, they looked like they were from a aristocratic high class family.
[[step inside.]] Helene held out her hand for you to shake it. You take it and respond,
"My name is Violet. I'm sorry that I came in like this, I just wanted some shelter from the storm."
Helene noded and eyed you up and down and notices that you are cold and wet from the storm.
"Goodness miss! You are soaked to the bone! Let me find you a change of clothes, I'm sure my Mistress won't mind if you wear one of her dresses. Come with me!"
She then leads you down a dark hallway, with only the light of the candles to guard you. On the walls you see more portaits and Helene sees you looking at them as you were going down the hall.
"Beauitful aren't they? This mansion has been around for centuries, it's like taking a walk through history. I've even painted a few myself!"
You were amazed at her talent then you ask,
"What happened here? Surely you don't run this place by yourself?" Helene then stopped and turned to you.
"It's a sad tale to tell... Oh look at that, were here!"
Confused that she dodged your question, you walk into an elegant guest bedroom, with a huge plush bed, bay windows, a high ceiling, and of course portaits.
"Please wait in this room while I get your dress. I'll be back soon."
You nod and she leaves. While she was gone, you layed down on the bed, liking how plush it was. Then, you hear a knock coming from the window. You sit up and you see a [[white figure]] with red piercing eyes staring at you.You walk up to the window and see it is a small fox with snow white fur and glowing red eyes. Then, you hear a voice telling you,
"Violet, you are in grave danger! This mansion is cursed and full of despair. Save her, don't trust her, free her..."
You look around the room trying to figure out who said that. You look toward the fox and ask,
"How do you know my name, and save who?" The fox fades and Helene comes into the room with the dress.
"Sorry I took so long. I wanted to find one to your liking. I thought purple would look excellent on you miss!"
She said handing you the dress. She lead you to a changing curtain and you changed into the most elegant, comfortable [[dress]] you've ever worn in my life! Helene applauded and explained that the Mistress wanted to meet you at dinner. As nervous as you were to meet her, your stomach said otherwise. You then followed Helene to the [[dining hall]] and waited for the MistressThe dress you were wearing made you feel like a princess! It was a purple velvet dress, with a laced black corset, a purple and black laced underskirt, a poofy skirt, and poofy black sleeves on the front
[[white figure]] The dining hall seemed so regal and big compaired to where you usually eat dinner. The chairs were gold and the cushions were red and plush. You sat down and waited for Helene to annouce the Mistress. A few minutes pass and Helene comes in, telling you to stand. You rise and listen to her.
"Miss Violet, may I present Mistress [[Reina]] Angelica Elizabeth Baron. The last of the Baron house and its successor!" After she announced her, Reina wasn't at what you were expecting. She was a girl about your age. She had ruby red hair, green emerald eyes, and she had a red velvet dress that is much like the one you have on. You did your best to curtsy to her. It felt like you were a lone servant and she, a glorious queen.
"It's nice to meet you..." You say while staring at the floor. You then hear footsteps approch you, and you see her hand, signaling you to rise.
You then look up to see her emerald eyes staring at you, like she is piercing your soul. Then to your surprise, a big grin comes across Reina's face. She then leaps at you, squeezing you tightly saying,
"It's soooo nice to meet you too Violet! It's so wonderful to have a guest!"
You then hear Helene in the background with an annoyed tone saying, "Mistress, remember your manners!" Reina then releases you from her tight bear hug grip and composes herself.
"I'm sorry, I just get so excited when someone new comes to visit. Well then shall we?" Reina said pointing to the table.
You then nod and take your place at the grand table. Helene then excused herself and went to prepare the [[first course]]As Helene was preparing the soup, Reina wasted no time in getting to know you and telling you about herself.
"So Violet, how did you find this place? From what Helene tells me, you got caught in the terrible storm outside and found this place randomly."
You then nod and say, "Yes, I have a terrible fear of thunderstorms and I needed some place to stay, just until the storm passees."You say staring out the window, still hearing the storm rage on.
Reina then perked up and said, "Well fear not! If you need a place to stay for the night, we have plenty of room. We would be glad to have you, isn't that right Helene?"
As she said that, Helene came into the room with the soups on a trolley, then placing them in front of Reina and yourself. "Why yes Mistress. Here we are, some hot tomato soup, Mistress Reina's favorite!"
Helene said with a smile.
You both then eat the soup with delight, it so happens that tomato soup was also your favorite! Once you finished, Helene then took the empty bowls back to the kitchen to prepare the [[second course.]]While you and Reina were waiting for the main course, you remembered her saying that no one comes to the Mansion. For that matter, Helene is the only servent you have seen since you have arrived. Usually such a big house, would many servants. You then turn to Reina and ask about the Masnion.
Reina pauses, her face went from joyful to sad in an insant. She sighed and said, "Well, no one ever comes here, because the people in the villages think this mansion is cursed. I was only a baby at the time when disaster struck this mansion. Helene told me everyone had a terrible sickness, that swept over the masion and killed everyone, including my parents. She and I were the only surivors of the epidemic. Ever since then, no one dares to come by here. They fear they will die the same way. Occasionally we do have small children who wander into the house, but they always run off after dinner. Honestly, you are the only girl who has stayed this long, and I do hope we can be friends. Please don't leave me like the others did. It gets so lonely here..." She said pleadingly looking up into your eyes and taking your hand
You then feel sorry for Reina and Helene. It can't be easy living on your own. But then you thought of a way that they wouldn't be alone anymore. She is the future Lady of this house, no one knows she is alive, but if she were to make herself known again, then the people would welcome her with open arms. You then pitch the idea to Reina.
"What if I told you, that if you told everyone that you were alive in this house, people would be in your service again, they would come visit, and you would have friends to comfort you and advise you. You have to let the world know that the heir to this place is alive and well, if not, you are going to be trapped forever." Suddenly you hear a [[clash]] of a silver dome falling to the ground, making you and Reina shudder. You turn around and see Helene with a horrifyed and angry look on her face.Helene then rushes over to Reina, placing her hands on her sholders saying, "That idea is pointless, if you don't mind me saying so... Reina doesn't need anyone coming to this mansion. She is still a child, very fragile to the world and it's evils. Until she is seen as a grown up in my eyes, she will remain here alone!"
Reina then turns to Helene and says, "But I like the idea of telling everyone that my house is still present. I want people to come here and have balls with us. I want people to be happy here. I'm sure mother and father would want that right?" She felt Helene's grip tightening, her face swollen with tears. Helene then composed herself, smiled and said.
"Not yet Mistress, when you are older we well see. Madam Violet, I appriciate your adivce but my Mistress is still much too young. Please understand, she is like a daughter to me. Don't take her away." With that, Helene then cleaned up the mess she made and went back into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
You seemed very confused and frightened. Helene seemed so nice, then turned into a completely different person. You then felt Reina hand on yours. "I'm sorry Violet. I know you mean well, but Helene is like a mother to me. She raised me and maybe she's right. For now, your company is enough." She said with a smile.
Just then Helene came out with dinner. She placed the siver domes at our table and lifted them and described the dishes. "Here we are ladies! Our dinner tonight is a delcious shepards pie, filled with fresh vegetables, ground meat and sausage, mashed potatos, and gravy. Enjoy!" She then went back into the kitchen to make the [[third course]]
Reina and you pat your stomachs with a grin on your faces.
"Boy, Helene sure makes great shepards pie huh Violet?" Reina said with a smile.
You nod and laugh with her. Even though you just meet her, she seems nice and friendly. However, things seemed off to you. You still can't forget Helene's outburst and how she switched personalities like that. Why is she so protective of Reina? Why should no one know she's alive? It just doesn't make sense. They both hate being alone, so why not be among the people instead of being cooped up in here? Just then Helene came out of the kitchen with a huge display of desserts! There was a 3 layer chocolate cake, with ice cream, candy, pie, and choclate eclairs, towering over you and Reina. You then saw Reina grab her goblet with excitment as Helene poured a strange bottle of liquid into the goblet. It was a dark purple color and it smelled delicious.
"Excuse me Helene, what are your serving Reina?" You ask curiously.
Helene smiled and walked over to fill a goblet for you. "Why it's mistress Reina's favorite drink, homemade grape juice! Why don't you try some I made it fresh this morning." She said handing you a goblet.
"Go on Violet have some! I promise you won't hate it." Reina said as she continued gulping down the purple liquid.
You stare into the goblet and you can see a reflection of yourself, but something was off. You look deeper into the cup and see the white fox from earlier. You then hear it's voice saying,
"Don't drink that, it will be the end of of you..."
[[Drink it?]]
[[Don't Drink it]]You ignore the fox's warning, press your lips on the goblet and drink the grape juice. Reina was right, it tasted devine. After a few seconds however, you fall to the floor, gasping for air. Foam coming our of your mouth, your eyeballs bleading tears, and everything starts to slow down around you. Before you shut your eyes, you can hear Reina calling out for you to snap out of it and Helene smiling wickedly at you as you slip into darkness forever...
BAD END 2 Death By Purple stuffSeeing and hearing the reflection, made you jump, dropping the goblet to the floor, spilling the grape juice everywhere. Reina then runs to your side.
"Violet are you alright?" She asked grabbing your sleeve.
You nod "Yes, I am okay, just a little spill. I can clean it up." You say as you kneel down to clean the mess.
Helene then comes over with some towels and hot water. "Please madam, let me clean this for you. Mistress, why don't you show Violet around the mansion. I'm sure she is curious to see what is around here." Helene said with a smile.
"Great idea Helene! Come on Violet, I'll show you my room first!" Reina says tugging you along. Reina then grabbed a candlestick and guided me through the dark hallways of the mansion. We then walked up the grand stair case and I saw the grand portait again. I quickly glanced at it and Reina caught me staring at it.
"Beautiful painting isn't it? Though I didn't know my parents that well, this is the only thing I have to remember them by. I just wish I knew what they were like. Helene just tells me they were kind to everyone and they loved to collect antiques from across the world. I hope I can make them proud one day." Reina said with a smile.
"I'm sure you can." You say with a smile.
You both then continue to Reina's room through some winding hallways. It would be very easy to get lost in a huge place like this, but you are glad that Reina knows the in's and out's of the mansion. You both then stop in front of huge golden doors, with crystal door knobs, and vines hugging the door frame.
"Well here we are Violet, [[My Room]]She then opens the door for you and you step inside. You are immediatly overwhelmed with how nice the room looked! It wasn't like yours at all. There were clouds painted on the ceiling, a huge plushy canopy bed, with dolls and pillows on it, paintings of Reina and angels adoring every corner of the room, and a breathtaking view of the land from her balcony. Even though it was still raining, the view was great.
"Wow, you have a very nice room! It is like a castle compared to mine. I just sleep in a very small room in my families cottage." You say shrugging your sholders.
Reina then smiles at your compliment and pats the bed, wanting you to sit with her. You sit down next to her on her bed and she hands you a doll and asks you more about yourself.
"So tell me Violet, what is your family like? What's it like to be able to [[explore?]]" She said curiously.
"Well it's not much as you would expect. Usually everyday, my dad would go to work at the lumberyard where he works and doesn't come hope until dusk. It is fun when he comes home though, I get to hear a story or two from him. My mom usually cooks meals, goes to the market in town, and knits some blankets and clothes for us. As for me, I go into the meadow near my house to read, draw, and collect flowers for my mom. It makes her happy to see me get outside, but as long as I am back by sunset it's fine... Althought that can't happen tonight, the storm is still going on..." You say staring at the window, hearing the rain falling down.
Reina then gives you a hug. "It's okay Violet. I'm sure they are fine and once the storm is over, you can go home... But promise me you will visit?" She said begging you.
You then smile and nod. Reina then jumps off the bed and takes your hand.
"There is one more thing I want to show you before we go to bed tonight. I think you will like it!" We then go back out to the labiryth of hallways, with only a candlestick guiding the way and we come to another huge door with gargoyle statues gaurding it. It makes you a tad frightened, but you proceed anyway.
"Welcome to the [[art gallery!]] It's sort of Helene's hobby to paint different things like trees, buildings, and the cool thing is that every visitor that has come here, she paints them so I can rememeber them!" Reina said showing off the paitings.
"Helene must be very taleneted. It's amazing!" You said as you looked around at each paiting. Though the pieces of art were nice, it was a bit unsettling to see serveral young children staring at you. It felt like they were watching you and were trying to speak to you. You then see a huge covered up painting at the end of the gallery. You wonder what it could be and you reach out to unveil it.
"DON"T TOUCH THAT!" You then are starled by the booming voice behind you, and you feel your hand getting slapped away from the cloth. You turn around and you see Helene smiling again, only this time it felt forced.
"I'm terribly sorry for striking you madam, the painting isn't finished yet so I don't want anyone to see it just yet. You will be able to see it soon however don't you worry!" She said apologeticly.
Confused and frightened you say, "It's fine, I'm sorry for peeking... I was just curious."
"Well madam you know what they say, curiousity killed the cat. But you shouldn't worry" Helen said smiling
You then stood there like a statue trying to find someway to get out of Helene's sight. It amazed you at how quickly someone could go from nice to scary in a matter of hours. You then see Reina running up to the both of you out of breath.
"There you guys are! I was looking all over for you! Well did you enjoy the art gallery Violet, wasn't it grand?" She said happily
You then put on a forced smile and say, "Yes, it was delightful Renia, thank you for showing me this."
"Well girls, I hate to spoil the fun, but it is getting late and Violet has a long journey tomorrow. So, let's all get some [[sleep]] shall we?" Helene said grabbing her candlestick. Reina then took my hand and we went into the guest quarters of the mansion. We get to my room, Helene opens the door and shows me the bed, the bathroom, and tells me where everything is just in case I need anything."Well goodnight Madam, if you need anything just ring. See you tomorrow morning." Helene said guiding Reina out of your room.
"Goodnight Violet, sleep well!" Reina said hugging you tightly. You wave at her and as soon as the door closes you get ready for bed. You change into a nightgown Helene left for you and you slide into bed. It was very tiring day for you, not to mention horrible. You felt sorry for Reina and wanted to help get her out of the mansion, but it was no use. Helene had a tight grip on her. You then start to drift off to sleep. A few moments later, the same voice from earlier wakes you from your slumber.
"Violet, I need you to wake up. Reina and yourself are in danger... You need to leave the mansion tonight or all is lost." You then rise from the bed, looking frantically around the room, trying to find the voice. You then turn around and see a ghostly, white, silouette of a fox with piercing red eyes sitting on the bed.
"Who are you? How do you know my name, and Reina's name?" You say slowing walking towards the fox.
"I am [[Izzac]], gaurdian of the west woods and it is my duty to protect anyone who dwells here. I have been watching Reina since she was a child and I fear her days are numbered. Only you can save her Violet. But you must be careful. The woman is after you." Izzac said with a serious tone.You immediatly think of Helene, the way she has been acting around you and how protective she was of Reina. But that could just be her acting as a mother figure. Like a bear protecting her cubs. "But Helene is just protecting her Izzac, although she has been changing her behaviors around me lately..."
"Follow me, I will show you the truth." Izzac says walking towards the door. You then follow him through the door and something seemes different. The mansion was filled with people, laughter was heard through out the halls, and everything seemed happy.
"Where are we Izzac? I know we are in the mansion, but there are people here." You ask curiously
He then nods and says. "This is in the past, Violet. Before this mansion was a place of happiness. A place where lords and ladies from across the world would come and celebrate any occasion. Even a time where young Reina and her parents were happy." He said pointing his paw over to a young couple holding a baby in their arms.
You then looked at the couple and it looked like Reina's parents. A young woman with blazing red hair, blue eyes, and a flowing red dress, and a young man who had brown hair, green eyes, and wore a black and blue suit. And the baby was in a light blue swaddling cloth, laughing as her parents snuggled her against them.
"This all seems so happy doesn't it Violet? But, all good things must come to an end. Not long after this party, the Lord and Lady Baron had an eye for collecting artifacts from around the world. One day they purchased a painting called, [["The lost bride."]] Once they hung it up in their gallery, a [[curse]] happened to the mansion." Izzac said sadly.
All the sudden the setting changed and things didn't look so happy.The painting looked very sad and frightening. It depicted a young woman, wearing a wedding veil, a long poofy elegant dress, and she had a slender hourglass figure with hazelnut hair and blue saphire eyes. It seems familiar to you somehow.
[[Izzac]] You then saw people coughing, crying, and dying all around the Baron Mansion. It was a completly different setting than you saw earlier. It made you want to cry. Then you saw a horrifying sight. You saw Reina's mother being pushed down the grand staircase to her death, by her husband and he in turn shot himself with a pistol. In the distance you heard little Reina crying. You and Izzac walk over to the nursery and see Helene scoop the baby Reina up, comforting her.
"You see Izzac, she is just a comforting mother figure. She raised Reina didn't she? After Reina's father killed her mother." You said justifying yoruself.
Izzac then shakes his head and the scene shifts again to the portait gallery a few nights prior. "Watch that woman there cleaning the portaits." Izzac said pointing to her.
Looking closer you see that the woman was Helene. You then watch her clean the huge portait you saw ealier. The lost bride. As she began cleaning it, you then see arms streching out of the painting and you hear screams coming from the maid. Hearing her bones crack, blood flowing everywhere, and everything went silient. A few monents later, you see Helene stepping out of the portait, only she seemed different. Her eyes were red, her hair was silver, and she was dressed in a bridal gown. She then walked over to the lifeless corpse of the maid, whom she just killed and phased inside her body. A few moments later, the maid wakes up and she is the Helene you know now. Horrifyed, you beg Izzac to take you back to the present to save Reina.
"In a moment Violet, you must see what happens to the mansion and Reina before we go back." You then go back to Helene snuggling baby Reina. Then, you see her smiling telling the baby sinister things.
"My sweet child, you will be the only survivor of this curse. You have a greater part to play in my plan, rather than rotting away in the ground. You are so pure of heart, so innocent, who knows one day, you will become one with me and we will rule this land together forever..." She said laughing
With that you were transported back to your room in the mansion, Izzac by your side.
"You see, Helene [[must be stopped]]. If you don't she will posses Reina and eat your heart to stay youthful and young forever. She will be the ruler of this land and eventually, the world..." Izzac explained to you.
"How do I stop her? How do I save Reina?" You ask curiously.
"Take me to Reina and have her tough my paw, then she will know everything. Quickly, you must get to her before the demon does."Izzac says warning you.
You then spring into action. With Izzac lighting the way, you follow him to Reina's room and open the door. You both look around for her, but she is not there. You then think of the the places where she could be. You check the dinning room, she isn't there. You check the main foyer, she isn't there. Then you remembered the art gallery. You then rush in there and find Reina unconcious on the ground and the painting unveiled. You see that the Lost Bride is missing and underneath the painting has the name engraved, "Violet" Frantictly you try to wake Reina, but nothing happened.
"Try all you want, madam but she wont wake. Poor thing was so tired." You then look up to see Helene at the entrance of the art gallery. Smiling sinisterly and walking towards you laughing.
"I know what you did to her and her family and I wont let you take her! [[Why would you do this?"]] You said furiously.
"You want to know why? They brought it upon themselves. I was trapped in that painting for centuries waiting to be free. But it couldn't happen unless negativity was around. Once my painting is planted in a house, I turn people against each other. Harming them physically and mentally so that eventually, I can find a vessal pure of heart, possess them, and walk amongst the living once again. I never lived a normal life! I was going to be married to the love of my life, but he choose another on our wedding day, and I vowed that day to exchange my life for a chance at revenge. So I took it and I killed him. Drove his wife insane and at last I had my revenge. But instead of going to heaven, I went to hell, and my hell was being trapped in this painting for all eternity, unless I could find the perfect vessal and heart. Thats where you and Reina come in. This sweet innocent girl is the perfect vessal, and the heir to this realm, and your heart is so juicy and pure and if I consume it and possess Reina, I will never die! That is my master plan my dear, and it shall happen!" Once she said that, she then phased through Reina's body and possessed her.
After moments passed, Reina woke up, but it wasn't the same Reina you knew. Her eyes were red, she was laughing maniacally. You didn't know what to do. You were very scared and you wanted to save her. But you didn't know how. Izzac then rushes to you and gives you advice.
"Violet listen to me, you can still save her. You have two options, but you must act quickly. In order to get Reina back to normal, you have to let her touch my paw, but only of her free will. If not she will kill you. Try to bring her back, once that is done, set this mansion and that painting to a blaze and all will go free."
[[Friendship]]
[[Acquaintance]]
[[Strangers]]As Reina tries to kill you, slashing a knife anywhere she could, you try to think of how to get through to Reina with words of comfort. You think of the fun times you had that evening with her. Encourgaing her to be free of this house, and Reina being kind to you even though you were below her class.
"Reina, please, I know you may or may not hear me in there, but just listen to what I have to say. I know we only just met tonight, but I feel like we are more than just strangers, we could be sisters." You look up and you see Reina drop the knife, and holding her head, struggling to break free of Helene.
"Violet... I" "Shut up brat! You are mine now!" Izzac presses you to continue and you do.
"You heard me Reina, sisters! I know that deep inside you are lonely and the only thing you have ever known is this mansion and a horrible demonic maid as a mother figure. But she isn't right for you! She has groomed you to be perfect and pure just so she could take over and be immortal! But I don't want you to fade away, please Reina come back to me and Izzac, and we could all end this nightmare together."
With that said, you walk towards Reina, who is still struggling to break free. You then take a risk and hug her tightly, tears flowing from your eyes as you do. You hear Reina drop the knife again and she grips you with her hands, then eventually everything goes quiet and her grip loosens and you hear Reina sobbing.
"I'm sorry.... I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.....I'm Sorry Violet!" Reina says letting the tears out. You then pat her on the back repeatedly and Izzac touches Reina's hand. Once her hand is touched, she is shown everything you have seen and she understands what Helene has done to her family.
Suddenly, Helene is forced back into her original form, except this time it looks rotted and frightening. Helen picks up the knife and throws it at Reina's arm. It makes a huge cut in her sholder and she falls to the ground.
"Stupid brat! I will still have you both and there is nothing you can do about it!" You then see her trying to possess Reina again. Izzac tells you to burn the painting with the candlestick. You then run over to it and throw it on the [[painting.]]You then try everything you could to get Reina back. Mentioning all the fun times you shared, what it would be like to be free and everything.
"Reina, I know you can hear me in there. Though we have just met, I feel like you deserve more than just being cooped up in a mansion all day. You deverve to be free and live amongst people who love you, not ones who try to control you." While you are saying this, Helen starts to lose control over Reina for a few seconds. You then have Izzac touch her hand, and Reina comes back.
"Violet, you are like a sister to me, thank you for helping me see who Helene truely is. You must leave this place... I can't hold her back much longer... Please go I will end this once and for all..." She says struggling to pick up a candlestick, while fighting Helene at the same time.
You then try to convience Reina to fight against her, but Izzac sways you otherwise. "Come on Reina, I know you can get through this! Don't die here, you don't deserve it!" You say trying to help her.
Izzac then holds you back. "Violet, I don't like this outcome either, but Reina has made her choice. Let her end this curse and she will not die in vein."
"He is right Violet, now please go... I can't hold back any longer. Thank you for finding me and being my..." And with that, Reina sets fire to the mansion by buring Helene's portait frame, and smiling at you as you and Izzac run.
You look back cry from outside as the mansion crumbles in flames to the ground. You then think of how you could have saved her, but it was brave and nobel for her to give herself up to save the realm and her life.
After that event, you returned home, being welcomed by your parents with hugs and kisses. Izzac came to visit from time to time. Tellling you that Helene's spirit was no longer in this world, Reina's soul is at peace, along with others who suffered there. It gave you comfort knowing that, but you still wish you could go back and save her.
Neutral end: Acquaintance
Try again? [[Why would you do this?"]]
Frantically, you try to reson with Reina, try to get her back to her normal self, but to no avail.
"Reina, please I know you can hear me and you want to be free of Helene. Please touch Izzac's paw and become normal again!"
Izzac then touches Reina's hand and it is immediatly cut off. Izzac screams in pain and dashes away. You see Reina, licking the blood off the knife and laugths at your atempt to free Reina.
"You poor miserable thing. You will never get your friend back. The one chance you had is gone and now let's become one with one another!"
She then raises her knife, and kills you by stabbing you repeatedly in the chest. Laughing as she does it. Eventually you fade into darkness. Because of what happened that night, Reina now rules the realm in which you called home, the west woods is a scarier place that ever was, and your soul is forever trapped in the painting, suffering as Helene did all those years ago.
BAD END 4 Strangers.
Try again? [[Why would you do this?"]] You then, see the painting caught in a huge blaze of fire and you hear screams coming from Helene as she is turned into nothing but ash. Once she is gone, you help Reina up and you, her and Izzac run out of the scorching mansion. Once outside, all three of you watch the mansion burn to the group and you breathe a sigh of releif. Reina hugs you for what felt like a long time and you hug her back. Izzac smiles and retreats into the forest, but Reina stops him.
"Thank you Izzac. If it wern't for you and Violet, I would be possessed. I know you have been watching over me since I was a child and thank you for leading Violet to me." She said petting him.
Izzac then bows, nods at you and goes into the forest.
Soon after that, you and Reina set off into the forest to find your mom and dad. Halfway to your house, your dad finds you, and embraces you, thankful you are alive. He sees Reina and you explain the whole thing. All three of you go back to the small cottage, where your mother greets you in tears.
"Oh my Violet I was so worried! Don't ever leave me again!" She then spots Reina in the doorway. "And who is this?" She said walking over to her.
"I am Reina Baron madam." Reina said bowing to her.
Your parents are shocked to hear the Baron name in their household and you and Reina tell them everything that happened. Not long after you and your family adopted Reina and things were [[looking up.]]
Due to Reina's name, she made herself known thought-out the land. Letting people know that her house was alive and well. Eventually you wall moved into a larger house on the same land your old one was, grand parties and balls were heald, and laughter filled and happiness filled the house once again.
"I'm so glad we are sisters now Violet! Now we can be best friends forever and I finally have a place where I can call home, among people I love." Reina said smiling.
"I'm glad you are hear too Reina! Lets be happy together!"
Good End: Friendship
