2010: Pinehearst

The brother had nodded to the man's helpful instructions. All of this just to find one man. Thankfully, the brother knew Rene's whereabouts, and it's likely that he will still be in that location when they get there. He wanted to hurry down to the garage, but his sister was still blinded by the curse. She didn't want to open her eyes at all, so her brother grabbed her wrist to lead the way towards the elevator.

Pressing the down button, it immediately made a loud "ting" sound before opening. After entering, along with his sister, the brother didn't know which floor to take, nor which button to press. He assumed that the garage was located in the basement, so he pressed the large B button. It immediately lit up, and the elevator closed.

"Hey", he said to his dark-sighted sister, "Look at me."

The sister was quite hesitant of opening her light brown eyes, but she knew that she couldn't see the curse in him. She still didn't know why though.

"It's gonna be alright. We'll find this man and he'll help get rid of this curse."

"Please.", she interrupted, "Please find him quickly. I can't see death once more."

"I know it's not your fault of all of this happening." He paused as he looked at the circled numbers above him. A light was going towards the number "5"., meaning that they were 5 floors above the basement. "Believe me. I don't like witnessing death as well, but eventually I had to learn to accept it, and adapt to it, more like a gift. What you have, however, is nothing to keep. Nothing to be born with. I know that you see the devil, don't you?"

"Yes, many times.", she responded.

The loud "ting" sounded once more and the elevator stopped, meaning that they were in the basement. The brother was amazed at how quick the elevator operated, especially with all of the mayhem outside of the building.

"Okay, are you ready?", the brother asked. The sister quickly nodded at his statement, immediately closing her eyes again.

"Follow my lead.", he commanded to her as soon as the doors opened slowly to the basement floor.
