The next morning Madeline and Eliza
woke up lying in their comfortable
four-poster beds. Madeline sat up
and felt like she had been very ill but
she knew that what had happened
last night was all true. As the girls were
about to go down to breakfast, a
small voice echoed round the room.
“Thank you. Now that Fang and I are
together we can rest in peace. The
sleepless years drove him mad you
know and I was scared he was going
to do something really terrible next, so
thank you.” A dog’s bark and a child’s
laughter followed the voice and then
faded away completely to show that
Hope and Fang were really gone.
“Madeline?” said Eliza.
“What?” she replied.
“Come and look out the window - it’s
snowing,” answered her friend.
The small skeletons that were Hope
and Fang lay eternally at rest
beneath a blanket of snow.
