As Evelynn's eyelids fluttered open, she was met with an unsettling sense of disorientation. Her gaze scanned the unfamiliar surroundings, and she sat up, her head spinning with each passing moment. The dizziness was overwhelming, but before she could collect her thoughts, a massive shadow emerged from a nearby corridor, sending a chill down her spine. Paralyzed with fear, Evelynn's thoughts were consumed by the prospect of her impending demise, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes. This was her only thought, her only prayer. However, as the footsteps and shadow drew closer, they transformed into a gigantic, imposing figure, which then morphed into a diminutive fairy.

Evelynn's relief was palpable, as she realized that her mortality was not imminent. She gazed at the fairy, whose serene expression was a balm to her frazzled nerves.
The fairy's countenance softened as she spoke, "Ah, Evelynn, you remain as radiant as ever, don't you?"

Evelynn's eyes widened in shock as she heard the fairy address her by name. How could this enigmatic being know her name? "Um, hello," Evelynn replied, her tone laced with confusion and skepticism. "How do you know my name? And, might I ask, where am I?"

The fairy's smile warmed as she replied, "You are currently standing at the entrance of the last queen's cemetery." Evelynn's unease grew as she gazed upon the fairy, her discomfort heightened by the eerie atmosphere of the cemetery.

The fairy nodded, her expression serene, and said, "I shall provide the answers to all your questions. Follow me." Evelynn trailed behind the fairy, who led her to a breathtakingly beautiful location within the cemetery.

The fairy then slowly lifted the veil covering the queen's peaceful form. Evelynn's gaze was drawn to the queen's stunning visage and lovely locks, but her attention was soon captivated by a mark on the queen's body that eerily resembled the pattern on her hand. Evelynn's eyes darted to her hand, where she saw the same mark. Her mind reeled with the implications of this coincidence.

As she turned to the fairy, who was busy with some sort of mystical ritual, Evelynn asked, "Um, fairy? Why does the queen have the same mark as mine?"

The fairy's response was met with a broad, unsettling smile. "Perhaps you and Queen Eleanor are... related." Evelynn's mind was flooded with questions, but before she could process the fairy's words, the fairy's smile turned eerie, and she declared, "And now it's your time to die!"

Evelynn's heart stopped, and she was paralyzed once more. The fairy's eyes and lips seemed to be dripping with blood as she let out a blood-curdling scream. Just as the fairy was about to strike, Evelynn wakes up, realizing it was all just a dream. Her father's prolonged absence had gone unnoticed, and now it was dark outside, with her father preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Evelynn's initial shock gave way to a fiery indignation as she beheld her father's late arrival, the clock striking 9 pm, a stark reminder of the duration of his clandestine meeting. Her anger was palpable as she sprang out of bed, her countenance a testament to her ire.

With a fiery intensity, she called out, "Father, do you have a valid reason for returning home at such an ungodly hour? Shouldn't you be home by evening?"

Her father, taken aback by Evelynn's reaction, turned his face, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Oh, Evelynn, Sweetie... you're already awake. I'm sorry, I have some matters to attend to before returning home," he stammered, his face a deep shade of crimson.

Evelynn, her skepticism unwavering, finally found the courage to confront her father about his mysterious companion. "Father, you've been mentioning your woman all the time. As your daughter, I need to know, who is this fortunate individual?" Evelynn's inquiry sent a shiver down her father's spine, his eyes darting about as if searching for an escape. The reason for his hesitation was clear: he had been instructed by this enigmatic woman to keep her identity hidden from his daughter, but why? This time, there was no immediate answer. Evelynn's gaze narrowed, her trust in her father shaken. What secrets was he hiding, and why was he concealing them from her, the one person he had always shared his confidences with? Her mind was a maelstrom of serious thoughts.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her father's voice broke the silence, "Sweetheart, let's not dwell on this, okay? Let's enjoy our dinner. Aren't you hungry, my dear?" The sudden change in subject caught Evelynn off guard, and she found herself reverting her focus to the present.

She began to walk towards the dining table, her eyes fixed on her father with a mixture of suspicion and distrust.
Evelynn settled into her seat, her eyes widening with anticipation as she savored the delectable dish prepared by her father. As she indulged in the culinary delight, her mind began to wander back to the unsettling dream that had haunted her. The vivid imagery of the fairy and Queen Eleanor lingered, leaving her with a sense of unease.

With a growing sense of trepidation, she turned to her father, her voice trembling as she recounted the details of her dream: "Father, I had a terrifying dream. It was about a group of men disturbing me, and then a blinding light illuminated the surroundings. When I awoke, I found myself face to face with a frightening fairy. And, most unsettling of all, the fairy claimed that I was related to Queen Eleanor itself because of a mysterious mark on our hands." Evelynn's eyes darted to her own hands, her heart racing as she frantically searched for any sign of the mark. Finding none, she let out a startled cry, her mind reeling with the implications. how will her father respond to her terrible dream?..
