‘Shelley 2016’ Story Reveal:
Elena’s only son’s name is Nicu who lives with her parents in Bucharest. Louise has no child because they don’t survive in her womb. They had to cut her out because she died inside of her and they cut out her womb as well.
Elena often sees her sitting alone near the pond and an old man, Leo, trains her how to keep bad energies away. The balance of good energies and bad energies has to do with the bodies’ inner energies and all the energies that surround us. If we get sick, these energies get out of balance.
Louise doesn’t want Elena to leave. She still has to work three years more to save enough money. Before Louise’s ovarian operation, she had some of her eggs frozen. She proposes to carry her child. Elena’s approval will instantly manage a lot of money for the apartment and she will be home in nine months.
The New Journey of Elena; Shelley 2016:
Elena agrees to the proposal, she will carry her child. The doctor processes the inseminated egg into her womb. Everything is going so well until Elena finds a dead child in the woods.
One morning, she feels itchy all over her body. Leo, who removes negative energies through mental induction, makes a spell on her and she has a strong reaction towards it.
Some visitors come to Louise’s house with a kid. Out of nowhere, the kid hits her belly. Everyone gets busy checking on her if anything bad the hit causes. She comes out to have a cigarette so that nobody can see her. Louise thinks she looks too thin which seems abnormal to her.
Night time gives Elena another hit, she finds Louise talking with something invisible named Shelley in a room and she is covered with blood. In the morning her mouth is full of blood. She doesn’t know how it gets here.
Elena is getting so pale as she isn’t eating properly but in the middle of the night she feels food craving and starts eating voraciously. Next day is even more pathetic for Elena. She is combing her hair and a bunch of hair is pulled out. She informs her parents she is in pain all the time which isn’t normal.
They go for an ultrasound checkup. The baby is doing just fine, she is strong and healthy. Suddenly the electricity is gone. Elena says something is wrong since her skin feels like it is on fire. Doctor says it is only skin, she just needs to moisturise it.
At the shower time, Elena has a mental breakdown. She screams saying she wants the baby out. Louise lets her sleep but in the night she finds her nowhere. Louise drives along the forest and sees her walking through it. Louise can’t understand what she can do for her. Next night the symptoms become impossible to control.
Elena attacks a hen and drinks blood from it. Louise is totally bewildered watching this and informs Kasper. Next day Elena takes a wool stick while Louise is out for a while. Louise can’t trust Elena so she comes back and finds her unconscious sitting on the floor. Elena infuses the stick into her vagina to kill the baby.
Doctors say Elena’s internal bleeding is too extensive. They still need answers from some of the tests but nothing indicates that the child has any injuries so Louise sees her child for the first time and brings her home.
At night the baby keeps growling and Kasper can’t sleep with that. Louise thinks the new daddy is having a hard time accepting his child. Leo, who can sense bad energy, puts his eyes straightly through Shelley’s eyes. He starts shaking and leaves immediately.
One night Kasper is gonna leave with the child ’cause the child has become unbearable to him for some reason. Louise gets ferocious watching her child in danger, so she kills him right away and gets back home. We see a strange figure standing next to Shelley.
Explanation of Shelley 2016:
Louise has a pet demon whom she feeds blood to that’s why she couldn’t keep a child inside her. Her babies would die inside her. When Elena starts carrying the child, the demon transfers itself to the baby. It kept taking blood from her body that’s why she was being ill.
