rich, of course everyone girl in the village would want him. He probably had more than one girl. I felt silly that I had allowed myself to begin to fall for him. This was probably why he flaked out on taking me into the village today. I felt my heart grow heavy and also swell with anger at how I allowed myself to be used. Now I was frightened and felt like I was losing my mind and he was not here. He was off fucking someone else. This made me feel enraged. Then there was a noise as someone entered the dining hall. I got excited that it might be Adrian, however it was not. It was my new solemn stepfather Erich.
“How was town darling?” my mother said.
“Good, very good,” he said as he sat and started to eat the rich German stew in front of us.
I picked up my spoon to eat and saw the crest on the stemware once more. It was a bear. Suddenly I realized there was more to the bear on the crest than I had ever thought until my encounter today. Something was definitely going on here and since Adrian had abandoned me for another woman, I had to find out on my own.
“I saw a bear today. It was inside and then it ran off into the woods,” I blurted out just to see his reaction.
My mother was embarrassed at my behavior and laughed, “Darling that is so silly. She was drinking today,” she said to Erich. He was quite and just stared at me.
“No I was not drinking. There was a white bear inside the house! Don’t you believe me? Why would I make up something like that? It scared me to death! I could have been killed!”
I said nothing else and a very quiet awkwardness came over the room. The fact that Erich reacted in such a way made me realize that I was on to something and I had not hallucinated the bear. I needed answers. Just then I remembered what Adrian had said, that I could find answers in the library. I was outraged that no one was taking me seriously.
“Darling you must not make up nonsense like that?” my mother said as she scolded me. Clearly she thought I was making a fool of her and she did not want to lose her new husband because of a nutty daughter.
“I’m not hungry,” I said as I angrily got up from my chair and left the room. Clearly I was not going to get any support or be taken seriously. I went into the massive library and began pouring over books but found nothing on bears. I climbed the rolling ladders and went for the books that were hard to reach. I soon had exhausted myself. I needed to go to bed. So much had happened today and it only drained me of energy. First being surprised by a damn bear of all things and thinking I would die in that instant, to thinking that I was losing my mind and had imagined it. Tomorrow I would go into the village for answers, but mostly to find Adrian. I needed to talk to him and his mysterious disappearance and standing me up on our outing really hurt me. I needed someone on my side now more than ever. I needed someone to confide in. Maybe he would believe me, or maybe he wouldn’t but I still wanted him to hold me and tell me everything would be okay. As I was falling asleep I remembered the tavern that we had stopped at on the way in and how unusual everyone acted when I mentioned I was coming here to this village. The woman said there were superstitions about mythical creatures and such. She was right because a bear bursting out of your home would give rise to epic mythical stories if I weren’t a rational person that thought of rational explanations. After all Erich was a billionaire and billionaires were known to keep exotic animals. Maybe he had a damn bear, though it would be strange that I had not heard it roar before if it was indeed in captivity in the castle somewhere. I went on and on with these types of thoughts of trying to rationalize what happened until my head hurt and finally fell asleep.
The next day I had breakfast brought to my room because I did not want to see my mother or stepfather and have them ridicule me. The butler brought up a
