Red Blood Century

05 Am i a healer?

We arrived at a large mansion.

It was a Victorian-style house.

Who might have thought that there is a beautiful house in the middle of the forest?

The weird vibe coming from the forest earlier was completely gone.

But this place felt very safe. It's like this place was welcoming me.

I had very good memories of this place in my childhood. It started to make me feel nostalgic.

On the other hand, Emily's mouth stayed open while looking at the large mansion.

She started whispering to me. "You never told me that grandma was so rich. This house is five times more bigger than the house we used to live in before."

"Girls. What are you guys doing standing there? Come inside" Grandma yelled while opening the door's lock.

"Coming.." I replied and dragged Emily inside the house.

The house was more beautiful from the inside.

Many olden times decorations were hanging on the wall.

It was the same as I remember in my memory.
But the only difference is that, there were a lot of herbs on the kitchen counter.

Maybe that's where she makes her medicines.

There was also many painting of the weird symbols on the wall.

"Grandma how many total bedrooms are in the mansion? The house looks so big." Emily asked while exploring the house.

"At least 10 bedrooms are there. Choose anything you like. It's yours only." Grandma replied.

After hearing that, Emily ran upstairs to pick her room. Ofcourse she wants to have a bigger room but wait till she see mine's.

I just smiled while looking at Emily's back.

"Everything is the same as I remember. But grandma, What is the meaning of the symbols on the painting?" I asked while pointing at the painting.

"Oh! that? These symbols represent safety and protection. If you hung it in your wall then your house would always be protected from any harm."

"Did you make that? because when we were coming here. An old man showed us the road and he said that you are a shaman. Is it true?"

She just smiled and replied. " Yeah that's true. You know how I was so interested in spirituality. After you guys were gone, I had nothing to do. That's why with the help of my knowledge I started helping people with their illnesses." She said while looking at the window. It was almost evening outside. "But enough talks now. Go to your room and freshen up a bit. I'll go and prepare dinner for us."

I nodded and started heading towards my room.

I opened the door and entered the bedroom. It was a simple but very elegant looking room. With the fresh air coming from the balcony. this place was heaven.

This is where my mom used to live when she was a child but after her, it became mine.

There was also a picture of our family together hanging across the bed.

Mom, Dad, me, grandma, and baby Emily were in the photo. everyone looked so happy in that picture.

But after dad's death, everything went downhill.

Mom left the village with us. Leaving here grandma alone.

I wish dad was here, so nothing would have changed and we would have been happy family like we were before. I shrugged this thought from my mind.
