As the birthday festivities unfolded, Beatrice seized the opportunity to carry out her sinister plan. She made her way to the kitchen, where Mary had prepared a specially crafted cake for Alice. Beatrice, claiming she wanted to contribute to the celebration, offered to bring the cake to the party table.
However, Mary, who had harbored suspicions about Beatrice's intentions from the start, hesitated. She doubted the sincerity of Beatrice's sudden interest in Alice's well-being. Despite Beatrice's reassurances, Mary remained vigilant, sensing an ulterior motive behind her actions.
Beatrice, seeing an opening to execute her plan, discreetly added the mysterious liquid to the cake. She then carried it to the party table, where Alice was genuinely surprised by what seemed like a gesture of acceptance from her stepmother.
As the party continued, a new guest arrived—Sister Diane. Her presence added an unexpected element to the celebration, unbeknownst to the others. Beatrice took advantage of the situation, unveiling the cake with a show of goodwill that even fooled Charles and the other attendees. The atmosphere in the room remained oblivious to the dark intentions lurking beneath.
The cake was placed on the table, and the room was filled with joyous wishes and birthday songs. When the time came to cut the cake, Alice was assisted by Mary. Everyone gathered around, sharing in the joyous moment. As the pieces were distributed, the taste brought delight to the guests. However, unbeknownst to them, Alice began to feel an unsettling discomfort. Her body temperature rose, and her eyes started to undergo a transformation.
In a sudden and unexpected turn of events, the entire mansion began to shake. The upheaval matched the description Sister Diane had provided, and Beatrice seized the opportunity to execute her plan. With a chilling cry, she pointed at Alice, declaring her to be possessed by the devil. Panic spread through the room as fear took hold of everyone present. The ominous revelation echoed, leaving the once-celebratory atmosphere shattered and replaced with a looming sense of dread.
In the midst of panic, Alice's supernatural powers surged uncontrollably, lifting her into the air. Fear gripped the gathering, each person convinced that Alice was indeed possessed by malevolent forces. Beatrice, seizing the opportunity, fueled the terror by falsely claiming Sister Diane's expertise in exorcism. She appealed to Charles, pleading for permission to carry out an urgent exorcism to save them all.
Charles, torn between confusion and fear, reluctantly agreed to Beatrice's proposal. In desperation, Beatrice approached Sister Diane, and together they initiated their deceptive plan. Sister Diane produced a sleeping potion, releasing it into the air around Alice. As the potent fumes engulfed her, Alice felt a wave of dizziness and slipped into a semi-conscious state.
Exploiting Alice's vulnerable condition, Sister Diane introduced another liquid, causing her skin to burn. Alice, now suffering and crying, embodied the image of a fragile girl tormented by an unseen evil. The distressing sight was too much for Mary, who couldn't bear to witness Alice's suffering. Without hesitation, Mary rushed to Alice's side, attempting to shield her from further harm.
However, Beatrice, determined to carry out the fake exorcism, coldly orders the other servants to intervene and separate Mary from Alice. They obeyed, forcibly removing Mary from her protective stance. Charles, witnessing the torment inflicted upon his daughter, couldn't bear the sight. He interjected, instructing them to take Alice to her room and attend to her until she recovered.
Mary, disregarding the orders of the other servants, pushed her way through the crowd and embraced Alice. With unwavering determination, she guided Alice to her room, shielding her from further harm. The door closed behind them, leaving the mansion's occupants in a state of shock and confusion, grappling with the deception that had just unfolded.
In the aftermath of the chaotic faux exorcism, as Alice lay unconscious in her room, Beatrice, ever the schemer, seized the opportunity to further manipulate Charles. She suggested to him, with an air of concern, that Alice needed to be kept away as she was undoubtedly possessed by the devil. The idea struck a chord with Charles, who could hardly bear the memory of his daughter's suffering.
"Charles, we can't risk having her near us. What if the possession spreads?" Beatrice proposed, her eyes reflecting false sympathy.
Charles, tormented and desperate for a solution, reluctantly agreed. "Do what you must," he muttered, the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders.
Sister Diane, capitalizing on the situation, further fueled the fear. "Mr. Volta, Mrs. Volta, you both must be cautious. The devil's hold on Alice is strong. Keep your distance until the next session," she warned, her words laced with an ominous tone.
Charles, entrapped in fear and concern for his family, nodded in agreement. "Yes, do whatever it takes to free my daughter from this evil."
As Sister Diane left, Beatrice's mind churned with sinister thoughts. She saw this as the perfect opportunity to execute her plan of ousting Alice from the Volta mansion permanently. The next time Sister Diane performed her fake exorcism, Beatrice intended to ensure that Alice's supposed possession would be the catalyst for her expulsion.
Days passed, and Alice, confined to her room, remained in a fragile state. Mary, acting as her sole comfort in the midst of this turmoil, stayed by her side. Conversations between the two were filled with whispers of reassurance and shared memories, attempting to drown out the sinister plot that had woven its way through the Volta family.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the mansion, Beatrice approached Charles with a suggestion. "Charles, perhaps it's time to consult with other experts. Someone more adept in dealing with such supernatural occurrences. We can't risk the safety of this household any longer."
Charles, wearied by the ongoing ordeal, nodded in agreement. "Yes, Beatrice, whatever it takes to protect this family."
Unbeknownst to Charles, Beatrice had already been in contact with a dubious character, someone claiming to have expertise in banishing demonic entities. She arranged a secret meeting between Charles and this mysterious figure, leaving the unsuspecting Charles to delve deeper into the web of deceit that had ensnared his once-happy family.
The supposed expert arrived under the cover of darkness, shrouded in mystery. Beatrice, with a facade of concern, introduced him to Charles as a savior, someone who could rid Alice of the malevolent forces that supposedly held her captive.
As they gathered in the dimly lit room, the mysterious figure began to spin tales of ancient rituals and potent spells, captivating Charles with promises of a solution to their predicament. Beatrice watched with satisfaction, her plan unfolding seamlessly.
Unbeknownst to them, Mary overheard snippets of their conversation. Sensing the impending danger, she discreetly slipped away to warn Alice. In hushed tones, she relayed the devious plot to her, urging her to be prepared for the storm that was about to descend upon them.
As the mysterious figure continued to weave his tales, Charles, desperate for a resolution, fell deeper into the clutches of deception. Beatrice, with a smug expression, reveled in the success of her intricate scheme, confident that the final act of expelling Alice from the mansion was now within reach.
