When she wakes up, the mist has cleared, and the sun shines brightly through the trees. She looks at the sky as if, maybe, it is not real. She hears the sound of twigs cracking. Sophia then catches a glimpse of a little girl with long blondish hair, not that far away, running through the woods. She runs after the girl but never catches her.
Eventually Sophia emerges from the dense woods and comes to a loch with a big house on its edge. She carries on towards the house and walks over a wooden bridge. “Hello?” she shouts into the air. There is no answer.
Sophia steps right up to the front door and chaps the knocker. After a short delay, the door opens. An old, but attractive, woman, with piercing eyes, looks directly at Sophia. The imposing woman is dressed completely in black.
“Come in,” the woman says. But there is no welcoming smile. Sophia just stares at her, stunned, and says nothing. The old woman steps to the side slightly, almost impatiently, and says, “Please.” The woman has an unnerving look which says, “You have no choice.”
