:21:03
Her appetite began to fade.
:21:05
She began to lose weight
and color.
:21:07
I tried to make her eat...
:21:09
...but something kept her from it.
:21:14
I would come upon her wandering
in the corridors at night.
:21:18
I tried to find out
what was wrong...
:21:20
...but she never had an answer...
:21:21
...except to say that...
that something was oppressing her.
:21:25
Oh God, help me for my blindness.
:21:27
I should have known...
:21:31
Then one day she disappeared.
:21:34
Frantic, I searched the castle
for her.
:21:46
And then I knew.
:21:48
The castle and its awful history
had obsessed her.
:21:53
These very instruments of torture...
:21:56
...which were my birthright
and my curse...
:21:58
...now tormented her as well...
:22:01
...infecting her with a kind of
haunted fascination.
:22:04
And watched her drawn to one
and then another...
:22:07
...as if the aura of pain
and suffering which surrounded them...
:22:11
...was luring her to sickness...
:22:15
...and to death.
:22:21
Immediately I made my plans
to leave the castle with her.
:22:25
We would travel for a while,
restore her spirits...
:22:27
...and then make our home elsewhere.
:22:31
Then on the very eve of
our departure...
:22:35
...we heard her scream from below...
:22:38
...the most hideous blood-chilling
scream...
:22:40
...I have ever heard
in my life.
