I'd like to hear your version of the story.
William takes out his notebook and prepares to pen Ben's story down.
Uncle Ben
On the day of the incident...
Young Fiona
Lia, wanna see the new doll collection Father bought me yesterday?
Uncle Ben
What are you girls doing?
Uncle Ben stood at the doorway of Fiona's room with an amused expression on his face.
Young Fiona
I was gonna show Lia my new doll collection!
Uncle Ben
I wonder what time is it now...
Both girls look at the clock on the wall.
Young Fiona
Aww...6.30p.m. already?
Young Emilia
Looks like I have to go.
Young Emilia
Thank you for having me, Uncle Ben, Fi.
Uncle Ben
Let me walk you to the door.
Uncle Ben
Then we saw Emilia off.
Uncle Ben
Fiona went back to her room while I was still at the door, locking up the gate.
Uncle Ben
But then, I saw something the most spectacular.
Uncle Ben
Just as I was about to close the door, a hooded figure walked past me through the platform.
Uncle Ben
The figure was well-built from the top and was about my height, so I concluded the figure was a man.
William
Interesting...*writes on the notebook*
Uncle Ben
He went to the direction Emilia went.
William
Was he holding anything in his hands?
Uncle Ben
No, though I only saw his left side and not the right. If he held something in his right hand, I wouldn't have known.
William
Alright then. You may continue the story.
Uncle Ben
Yes, so while I was preparing dinner...
Young Fiona
Why do I have cabbages on my dish?
Young Fiona
Vegetables are yucky!
Uncle Ben
Fi, vegetables make you stronger and healthier.
Uncle Ben
Alright, what do you aspire to be in the future?
Young Fiona
Superhero Princess!
Uncle Ben
Superhero Princess? *chuckles*
Young Fiona
Hey, it's not funny! *pouts*
Uncle Ben
No, I wasn't laughing.
Uncle Ben
Alright, aspiring superhero, do you know what makes a hero strong?
Uncle Ben
No, not unicorns.
Young Fiona
Eww, vegetables?!
Uncle Ben
They make our bodies healthy and gives us energy to play and have fun.
Uncle Ben
They can help us stay strong and fight of germs that will make you fall sick!
Uncle Ben
How will you save the world if you are sick too?
Young Fiona
Fine, I'll eat my cabbages.
Uncle Ben
After dinner, I put Fiona to bed.
Uncle Ben
Then my doorbell rang.
Uncle Ben
I opened the door and there stood a hooded figure.
Uncle Ben
And he spoke in a low, raspy voice that could only belong to a man.
Uncle Ben
"Eclipse Serpent."
William
Spectacular...*writes in notebook*
Uncle Ben
I was frightened, of course, and shut the door in his face.
Uncle Ben
I did not know what was he saying.
Uncle Ben
After a minute or two, I peered through keyhole at the door.
William
Thank you for your description of your point of view
