Final Task

Lilly of the Valley

by Yasmine M

‘Lilly was the perfect daughter Always smiling, playing calmly, really charming and pleasant for an 11 year old. Always listening to her mother. Following the rules. But as she grew up, she realized that life wasn’t just about following rules. Life was made of surprises, as she witnessed for her 12th birthday.

‘The Foresters were quite an unusual family, they had a huge castle, in the valley of Inverness. Of course, they loved their daughter, but you could see some holes in the perfect tapestry of the life of the Forester family

‘How did Lilly’s father die ? How come mum never talks about him ? She once found a piece of newspaper, lying in the kitchen. It seemed so old, at least 10 years and the first page was about a missing man. His picture looked quite familiar, he seemed to be in his late thirties. For some reason, Lilly had the chills. She put that piece of paper down, so much questions going through her head

‘A few days later, she had already forgot about the eerie feeling she had, Not for long. At night, she heard a weird crack from outside. She opened her window, nothing… She decided to go see outside, The biggest mistake one could ever make!

‘She walked a bit but found nothing so she decided to go back home, little did Lilly know, she was followed. Slowly, fog started to appear, lilly thought she glimpsed a shape, some shadow, but it vanished. The men she saw in that newspaper… He was standing right there. Slowly, Lilly’s eyes opened wide open,

‘ "Dad ?" The men smiled "I am not your dad anymore honey, will you follow me to the lake near ? Your daddy is there" "But.." Lilly couldn’t resist, curiosity caused her loss.
