the chandellier

Jane was crying while Mark was hugging her, he could not believe what she had told him, it was impossible. William tried to catch those frightened eyes that had scared her friend, but he couldn´t.
They had met at University 5 years ago and since then they used to travel every summer together. But the last holidays were the last ones. They went to Peru, to Machu Pichu because Jane and Mark loved that place. William rented a big house, “it´s too big” thought Jane when they arrived, however she never told this to the boys.
At night, Mark and William went to a pub to play pool, Jane hated it, so she stayed at home preparing dinner, she cooked very well. Jane always prepared meat, but also salad because Mark was a vegetarian. Vegetables were outside the house, so she had to go outside to pick up lettuce. She was very attentive because she was a frightening girl, she pick up the vegetables and entered the house. It was impossible. The door was closed and the windows too. Jane started to shout but no one heard her. A shadow aproached her holding a chandellier that allowed Jane to see him. He had a white skin like snow and big teeth that showed to her. He moved slowly and calmly that made Jane more nervous. She couldn´t move, she saw him sliding but not touching the floor. She was in shock.
When Mark and William arrived, they saw Jane shaking near the trees shouting `help´ and asking for Edgard.
