The storm was swirling dangerously, when Christine and her mom carefully arrived at her grandparent's Victorian house durning Christmas break.

Christine, at the age of eleven, did not have a terrific relationship with her mom.
In fact, they continually fought about the silliest things.
Her mom always told her she was being disrespectful, and Christine never listened to anything her mom was saying.
When they delightfully entered the marvelous Victorian house, Christine noticed that it looked like an old-fashioned castle.

The room was painted with an elegant shade, with purple accents.
While Christine was about to go to bed, her mom gently reminded her to work on her school work; Christine obnoxiously rolled her eyes and began to fall asleep.
The next morning Christine awoke and discovered that her mom was not in her bed
