Rebecca rushed into the mansion and climbs the stairs, almost running in the hallway, going to Laura's room.
She knocked and grabbed the doorknob, it's open! She rushed inside. "Laura...!" she called her name.
Laura looked at Rebecca, she was standing near the window. "Hey, why are you in a rush?" she asked.
Rebecca went to her side. "I have good news for you!" she said
"What is it?" Laura asked excitedly, eager to know what the news is all about.
Rebecca grabbed Laura's hands, and they settled themselves in the bed.
"Come on, speak!" Laura said, dying to know what the good news is all about.
"It's about Luke!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"What about Luke?"
"He's alive! Graven just come back from the trip to the cave, and they opened the lid of the coffin. They found Luke breathing inside the coffin! He will be completely resurrected soon and once that's happening. He will return to your side. That is why you don't need to prepare your wedding with Cooper anymore!" Rebecca said.
Laura's brows knitted together. "But you told me that you and Graven buried him in the cave," she said.
"No, we brought his body inside the coffin into the cave but we didn't bury her beneath the ground. We left the coffin in the spring water which appears to be miraculous and magical, healing his body all this time! You forgot what I tell you, Luke is half demon and half vampire, he can't die easily. When Graven opened the lid of the coffin, he saw Luke gasping an antique mirror with his hands, that is the medium he uses to communicate with you all this time," Rebecca explained.
"You mean to say? The spirit in the mirror is the real Luke?" Laura asked.
"Yes, who else?" Rebecca replied.
Laura was stunned.
"Do you want to see Luke again? Do you want your love story with him to be given another chance for a happy ending? Are you brave enough to see the man you love in his coffin?" Rebecca challenged her.
Laura was silent for a moment. If Luke is indeed alive, she needs to see him! Does she want to know if what she felt for him is still love? She will only know her true feelings if she will see him again. She released a deep sigh. "Okay, as soon as possible, I want to see him!" she declared bravely.
Rebecca smiled. "That's my girl!" She rose to her feet. "I will inform Graven that you are willing to travel to the cave to see Luke," she said.
"Wait!" Laura said and grabbed Rebecca's hands to stop her from leaving.
'Why...what's wrong? Did you change your mind?" Rebecca asked.
Laura shook her head. "No, I'm eager to see Luke in the cave. But what's going to happen to my wedding with Cooper?"
"Stop preparing it. Graven and I already have a plan so that you can escape here. I mean, we can send a fake message from your family in Hallowpass informing you that there is an emergency, for example, your sister got sick and you need to go home for a few days...etcetera. Then on the way, we will kidnap you... we will put you in a place to wait for Luke's resurrection. That's our plan," Rebecca elaborated.
"Sounds a good plan!" Laura was convinced.
"It's a good plan indeed. We will stage a fake kidnapping...and when Luke's body is fully restored 100%, the two of you can go back to your house and present him as your husband to your family. I'm sure your family will no longer get mad if you will tell them that you married him in a church somewhere," Rebecca said.
"And what about Sir Nicholas and Cooper? What will they think and feel? They will get mad and upset towards me," Laura said.
Rebecca sighed. "Why are you caring about their feelings. You can send a letter to them and tell them that you eloped with the man you love. Sure, they will get mad for a few months, but eventually, they will forget about you and move on with their lives. I'm sure Cooper can still find another woman to marry once you're gone from his life for good. Don't worry about their feelings. Worry about your happiness. If you marry Cooper, are you going to be happy? I'm sure not. So, why don't you grab this golden opportunity to be with the man you love for the second time?"
Laura breathed deeply. Rebecca is making sense. No matter what happened, Sir Nicholas and Cooper will survive and learned to live without her. They will eventually learn to forget about the arranged marriage and move on with their lives.
Now that's settled...
But how about her parents? What will they feel?
"I'm worried about my parents. They will feel sad and worried that I'm gone. My mother might get sick after learning that I was kidnapped. I don't want them to feel that way. I want them to think that I'm gone on my own and was not forcefully taken away. That way, they don't have to look for me all over the town and other neighboring places," Laura said.
Rebecca pondered for a moment. "Hmm...let me think of a better solution for your worries..."
