charles was in love with helen. a feeling he thought himself incapable of. that is why he had alot of unapproved affairs,the most scandalous one being with morgan mellon,the daughter of the richest man in town. they had an child from the affair,melanie. since there was no way for morgan to take melanie as her own she left her with charles to either kill or gave up for adoption. the governor alfred thought the child deserved a chance at life while charles thought adoption was too risky and they should just kill her. so they both compramised and hide her in the attic for 8 years. charles told melanie there was a bad man that wanted to kill her to keep her in the aticc.
annita was looking for a way to blackmail charles, so she went to kubrick for help. together they found the doctor that stayed in charles's manor for a week,with no one supposed to be sick inside. first annita thought this was sodomy,but when they got the doctor talking they learned it was something far bigger. something that could ruin charles forever. so annita wrote a letter for charles which charles buried under a tree.
meanwhile charles brought helen home to stay with him,and asked her to be his "maid" to not attract any attention. he asked helen to not go into the attic but helen was curious. but she was also loyal,so instead of going to the attic she started asking about it to anyone she knew. alfred knew if she were to asked the wrong person she could get them all into trouble. so alfred told her about melanie. than he wrote a letter to charles to tell him what happened. because helen was in such a weird mood that charles has started to suspect something was up.
helen first didn't believe him,she needed to see for herself. if there was such a child,she would try to mother the poor soul,growing up in a tiny attic without love! only a private teacher to teach her stuff! to believe the story she needed evidence. so she wrote a letter to miss mellon,telling her she knew about melanie and she would be a great mother to her. miss melon was furious,there was no way a black woman could raise her child. so she not so politely asked helen to get her hands off her child. helen being upset but determined, decided to wait until everyone was asleep. she got some candy from the kitchen and climbed the attic. she was very carefull to not wake anyone up or scare melanie. she got into the attic and even tho she did expect an childs room she still fund it unbelievable. just when she was about to ask for melanie,someone pushed her from the window into her death. the last face she saw was the face of an 8 year old girl...
when charles found helens body he went straight up to the attic to have melanie hug her and say "ı beat the bad man daddy ı am safe now!" charles hold her daughter,which he did loved dearly and started crying. he blamed annita and kubrick for trying to bring melanie to surface and ruin him,he blamed alfred for telling helen about melanie,he blamed morgan for being such a bitch to helen and a bad mom to melanie. so he invited them all to the manor and killed them one by one,making them confess their sins as he was doing it. all the details ı will leave out because they are not for the fainted hearts.
charles was admitted to an asylum and melanie escaped the house,being "free" now,and lived on the streets till she died of sickness 4 years later.
and that ladies and gentelman is what actually happened at the crane manor. thank you all who participated,specially to our brave guests,who will all rechieve small gifts for their courage. ı hope to see you all at another night with another story. goodnight...
