Werewolf Mirror

Lord Roger was furious upon hearing Malcolm’s report and only then realized that their quarry had successfully escaped their pursuit. He ordered Malcolm and Mrs. Leony to rush towards the basement door. In an instant, the door shattered as they leaped inside, searching for their prey. Much to their surprise, they encountered another door that needed to be opened.

“So they escaped through this door,” Lord Roger growled.

“Yes, I agree with your assessment, dear,” Mrs. Brenda replied, looking at her husband.

“Let’s open this door,” Malcolm invited.

Malcolm attempted to open the door leading to the tunnel but encountered difficulty. Shortly after, the head of the household began to exert his strength and succeeded. The door swung open on its own, revealing a long and dark tunnel before them. All four of them leaped inside and ran swiftly until they reached the Sotana forest, located near the Cambrian mountain border. They managed to pass through the forest, but as they attempted to leap over the border, they were repelled by a tremendous force.

“Argh!!!” their voices echoed in frustration.

“Why is this happening!” Lord Roger exclaimed.

“My body is in so much pain,” Mrs. Brenda groaned in agony.

“My legs are injured too,” Mrs. Leony added, groaning.

“It seems there’s some force attacking us,” Malcolm speculated.

They began to investigate the cause and were shocked to find, just a few meters away, numerous Wolf’s Bane plants, known enemies of werewolves.

“Oh my, so this is the cause!” Mrs. Brenda exclaimed angrily.

“No wonder we were thrown back and injured,” Lord Roger replied, equally furious.

“It’s better if we retreat rather than face further difficulties,” Malcolm suggested.

“Yes, I agree with you,” Mrs. Leony replied.

“Very well, then let’s return to the village,” Lord Roger said as he jumped back into the tunnel.

Disheartened, they returned through the tunnel after leaving Mr. Remington’s house. Lord Roger gathered his followers to return to Voltre Castle. As morning approached, the group leaped at high speed and in an instant arrived there. They all entered the mirror except Mrs. Leony and Malcolm.

The next morning, George woke up and, as usual, went to his study to read a book. When he entered the room, he saw stacks of money and gold bars on the table, which surprised him. George didn’t understand how he had suddenly acquired such wealth so easily and without knowing who had placed all this wealth on his table. He collected the wealth and stored it in a safe, then searched the entire room but found nothing suspicious. Finally, he returned to his room.

Meanwhile, the Remington family managed to survive the ferocity of the werewolves and now hid in a cave, resting.

“We’re lucky we survived, and they didn’t chase us into this cave,” Mr. Remington said.

“Maybe they couldn’t enter the basement,” Mrs. Janet replied.

“I doubt it! They’ll surely keep trying to break down the door to chase us,” Mr. Remington replied.

“What saved us then?” Mrs. Janet asked, puzzled.

Mr. Remington shrugged and went out again to find some food he could cook. Soon after, he managed to catch a rabbit and cook it. That morning, the family ate roasted rabbit meat to sustain themselves.

“I will find out why we are safe from the pursuit of those werewolves,” said Mr. Remington as he left the cave.

“You must be cautious of your surroundings,” replied Mrs. Janet.

“Yes, I brought a weapon to be on alert,” said Mr. Remington.

Mr. Remington began to investigate the reason they were safe, so he traversed the Cambrian mountains. He then found wolf tracks and a lot of furs scattered on the ground, indicating that the werewolves had managed to break through the underground and enter this mountain’s border.

“Why didn’t they continue the chase?” Mr. Remington wondered to himself.

The middle-aged man was busy searching for answers while looking around, then his eyes fell on the Wolfsbane plants that grew abundantly there. So many of these plants were present that the border of the Sotana forest was almost covered by them.

Now, Mr. Remington realized that the werewolves could not continue the chase because of this repellent plant. So, he picked some Wolfsbane plants and brought them back to the cave. Upon arriving there, he met his wife and explained everything.

Mrs. Janet was very happy to hear the news; she was sure that the plant was a repellent for those werewolves, and they planted it in front of the cave. Since that incident, Mr. Remington’s family never returned to their village; they didn’t want to experience such a bad event again.

One night, George was in his study, continuing his office work, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the living room. The sound startled him, and he immediately stood up and went to the living room.

The sound was very disturbing and intriguing; it continued until he arrived there, and then it stopped.

“What was that sound?” George wondered to himself.

Suddenly, a faint voice calling from within the mirror startled George, making him turn towards it. He immediately approached the mirror and stared at it.

“We are Grandpa Roger and Grandma Brenda,” said Roger, laughing loudly.

“Aren’t you supposed to be dead?” asked George, confused.

“Indeed, and our spirits now inhabit this mirror,” replied Roger.

“Why are your spirits in there?” asked George in fear.

“We are the ones who gave you wealth,” replied Brenda.

Then, Grandma Brenda explained that their deaths were a result of a pact they made with the werewolf king.

“Why did you do that?” asked George, bewildered.

“Your ancestors have always lived in poverty, so we did not want the Hurley lineage to continue living that way,” replied Roger.

“My God! So we have lived with abundant wealth because you made a pact with the werewolf king?” asked George loudly.

“Exactly, and you have enjoyed the results,” replied Brenda with a smile.

George was very angry, so spontaneously he threw the vase from the room at the mirror, but strangely, the mirror did not break and remained hanging on the wall as before
