Chapter 48 Forty Six

• It took me some time to register what Alesso had said. I was knowing him before when I was eight, I came here to this very house. Nora was alive, Alesso's psychotic brother Zamar was also there and I talked back to him. Fear crept in me when a few of the memory glimpses carme into my mind of that day. I could vaguely remember it was Christmas and I entered the mansion, nothing important but when Alesso filled me in the details, the memories joined everything together.
