After the wedding a large number of our friends came to a party at our house. When the party had started，Elizabeth and I said goodbye and left for our honeymoon.We travelled first by boat， and planned to spend the night at a hotel on the other side of the lake.The mountains and the lake were calm and beautiful，and at last Elizabeth and I were together.For the first time for months， and for the last time ever，I enjoyed the feeling of happiness.In the evening the wind became stronger and soon a great storm broke above us.Every noise frightened me，and I kept my hand on my gun under my coat.I saw the monster in every shadow.Suddenly I realized how terrible the fight would be for Elizabeth.I asked her to go to bed and I decided to search for the monster.I planned to join her when I was sure he was not in or around the hotel.Elizabeth left me and I searched every corner of the hotel―every dark doorway and staircase.I could not find him，and I began to hope that he had not followed us to the hotel.But suddenly，I heard a loud and terrible scream.
