Official description[]

"Disappeared out of the blue during the fall of 1971, Celeste and her story became a news topic for the following two years. Celeste’s disappearance under obscure circumstances hides something more complex behind it. Her peculiar “nickname” Jennifer is arguably the most useful hint to solve the mystery."

- Tormented Fathers officialbiography[1]

"Jen, an unruly yet reserved fifteen-year-old misfit, has been entrusted to the Ashmann Inn as its maid after being expelled from the Flemmington Girls’ Institute. Upon her arrival, she discovers that the residents of the inn are connected by a dark presence – the beating heart of the hotel - that perceives her as a threat. All the while, Jen’s past comes back to haunt her no matter what measures she takes to escape."

Biography[]

Early life (1958-1971)[]

Celeste is the biological daughter of Jennifer Richardine Felton (living as Richard Felton at the time), and Stefanno Ashmann, who raped Felton out of jealousy for stealing Arianna from him. Felton was taking large doses of Phenoxyl during the pregnancy, which resulted in Celeste being born with an extraordinary gift allowing her to "bond" with the disease and control the Acherontia moths without any painful side effects. To conceal her true identity and protect her from the malicious intentions of Wyman and Ashmann, the Feltons lied about giving the girl up for adoption when they secretly kept her to raise her themselves as their adopted daughter.

Despite their unhappy arranged marriage and the circumstances of Celeste's birth, both Richard and Arianna loved the girl deeply and she seemed happy with them. Richard proved to be a great father as he taught Celeste how to play the piano and took the family on multiple vacations throughout Italy. They eventually settled down in a Villa in CervoScuro in 1965. Celeste liked when her father called her "Jennifer" sometimes, although as she grew older she started to wonder about her mysterious nickname.

Disappearance (1971)[]

At around 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 14th, 1971, Celeste vanished out of the blue. She was last seen on a swing at the playground near the bus stop wearing a white dress and having her hair tressed into a single plait. 

During the investigation, Albert Elias Wyman, one of Felton's ex-business partners, was suspected of her kidnapping, but the police found no evidence as the Feltons didn’t receive any demands for a ransom. Both the police and Mr. Felton concluded that Celeste left home intentionally. The story of her disappearance became a huge news topic in the two years that followed. It was eventually revealed the Feltons themselves staged Celeste's disappearance in order to protect her from Wyman and Ashmann and sent the girl away. It's unknown what happened to Celeste after running away from home, but the girl eventually found herself in the Flemmington Girls' Institute. Confused about her past and struggling to remember her parents and her own name, she started to call herself "Jennifer".

Ashmann Inn (1973)[]

Referred to as Jennifer or simply "Jen", the girl had a difficult time fitting in with the other girls from the Institute. She eventually was expelled for misbehavior and larceny and was transferred the Ashmann Inn to work as a maid, as Stefano Ashmann had requested the custody over her.

Jen befriends Lindsay

Soon after the arrival Jen steals a pack of cigarettes from a table and is then greeted by a fellow maid Lindsay, or Linn, who attempted to start a conversation as she overheard a familiar song playing on Jen's recorder. However, Jen brushed the girl off, not interested in making new friends. Some time later she sneaks into the hotel's garden to smoke when she overhears a pleasant singing voice. Jen catches Linn playing basketball while singing a song she wrote herself, which impresses Jen and she introduces herself properly. Linn reveals herself to be a talented violinist and Jennifer suggests they take part in a contest called "Top of the World" to win a prestigious scholarship. Even though Jen offers to accompany Linn on a piano, the latter declines as the lyrics to her song aren't finished. As the girls get to know each other further, Jennifer shares a memory of how her father took her to see a movie called Before Saying Goodbye and then taught her how to play the title song from it on her piano, the same song Jen was listening to earlier. The girls make a promise to watch this movie together some day.

Linn and Jen decide to run away together

Some weeks later Jen makes a surprise for Linn by projecting Before Saying Goodbye on wall at night and giving the girl a rose. The girls dance, mirroring the scene form the movie, and Linn, touched by Jen's affection, agrees to run away together to take part in the contest. Both sneak into Ashmann's office to steal some money for the road, where Linn finds a gun which worries Jen. The latter then paints piano keys on Ashmann's desk and offers Linn to practice her newly finished song by imagining the could hear the music in their heads. The girls share a romantic moment and almost kiss before being interrupted by a security alarm. While Jen tries to escape, Linn grabs the gun tearfully telling Jen she would never be allowed to leave. Later in the garden Jen still tries to convince Linn to run away but Linn point the gun at Jen asking her to leave alone without her. Linn then points the gun to her own head, which horrifies Jennifer and she attempts to stop Linn from hurting herself. Linn accidentally shoots Jennifer instead.

The next day Jen, now having her arm plastered, is escorted by Andrea Massino, the Inn's head housekeeper, into Mr Ashmann's office. Stefano scolds Jen for breaking in and larceny but still shows concern for the girl, reassuring her that she is safe in the hotel. He also informs her that Lindsay "will no longer be a problem" as she was trying to get Jen transferred elsewhere but Ashmann chose to send Linn away instead of Jen. The news saddens Jen and she leaves escorted by Andrea to a room for her to clean up. The housekeeper reveals the shocking details of Ashmann's past, including him molesting his much younger sister Gloria, who seemingly died in the fire that destroyed the nearby Cristo Morente convent. Jen is then greeted by Elisa, a fellow maid. When retreats to her room, she hears an ominous whistle coming from behind the walls. Unknown to Jen, she is being watched by a hooded figure in a porcelain mask looking at her from behind the mirror. She is startled by Lindsay and the girls have an argument about the accident earlier. Still upset that Linn tried to get her to be sent away, Jen locks herself in the bathroom, not allowing Linn to explain herself. Stuttering, Linn tearfully begs Jen to open the door but eventually leaves, as Jen refuses to listen.

A possessed Andrea attacks Jen

Sometime later Jen hears a ticking noise and a whisper coming from a loudspeaker. She tries to leave through the ground floor but, to her surprise, she finds the door locked. She then notices Andrea leaving a tray on the corridor floor. Wondering, as there are guests at the hotel, Jennifer checks the tray only to find a crow being eaten alive by moth larvae and a note detailing a failed experiment on Acherontia. The bird is then grabbed by a hand, which scares Jennifer, who is then ambushed by Andrea calling the unknown figure “Wyman.” Jennifer watches in horror how Andrea’s face changes color and the maggots crawling from her bleeding eyes. The woman then pursues Jen, attempting to stab her with a pair of scissors. Jennifer manages to hide herself and Andrea retreats to her sewing machine. Jennifer soon realizes Andrea was apparently poisoned by someone as she finds her disturbing letters, implying Andrea is not in control of her actions.

Jen decides to look for her friends to warn them, however, she finds the room 213, which Elisa was supposed to be cleaning, locked. Jen tricks Andrea into opening the door for her and manages to flee through the balcony. She finds herself in Andrea’s room, where she sees a picture of Gloria Ashmann and an article detailing the deaths of Stefano and Gloria’s parents and the closure of RossoGallo farm, previously owned by Arianna Gallo and Richard Felton, the names which Jennifer recognizes. She is startled by the sound of a shattered mirror which alerts Andrea. After a confrontation, where Jen manages to outsmart Andrea, the woman faints and drops the master key, allowing Jennifer to escape to the lounge room. However, she is immediately attacked by the hooded man who jumps on her from the top of the stairs, causing Jen to fall down.

Jen wakes up in bed

Woken up, Jennifer finds herself in her bed surrounded by the concerned members of staff. She was apparently found unconscious at the bottom of the stairs and simply had a nightmare. Jen however is convinced everything she had experienced was real, including being attacked by the man with a spine-shaped cane, whom Andrea called Wyman, also known as Porcelain, who apparently hanged himself two years before. Jen is then given a sedative by Stefano, and Lindsay tries to comfort Jen, saying she will always be there for her.

Jen is awakened by Linn, who reveals she had been drugged by Ashmann as everything she experienced was true. Demanding answers, Jen learns that she was in fact brought into the hotel on purpose as she is Celeste Felton, the girl Ashmann and Wyman had been looking for years. Linn reveals that Celeste’s biological mother, who suffered from the moth disease, was taken large doses of Phenoxyl during her pregnancy, resulting into Celeste being born with a natural gift which allowed her to control the Acherontia moths without any side effects. Jen is confused about the revelation as she is still struggling to remember her past life as Celeste Felton. She asks if Linn has been pretending to be her friend but Linn assures that she was always honest with Jen before running away. Jen then faints and hears a creepy voice inside her head warning her about the “Mother Moth” that perceives her as a threat.

Jen regains consciousness and hears a telephone ringing in the director’s office. After stealing the keys from sleeping Ashmann, Jen breaks in and listens to the recorded message left by her mother, Arianna Gallo, who is still grieving her missing daughter. The woman begs Ashmann to stop tormenting her and her husband, as, despite loving Stefano once, she chose to stay with Richard after what Ashmann had done to him. Jen then picks up a framed photograph of the RossoGallo farm partners, where she recognizes her parents, the Feltons, and she realises Linn was telling her the truth. She is then startled by Ashmann who threatens her with a gun. Despite claiming he doesn’t want to hurt the girl, Stefano insults Jen, calling the girl a “slut like her mother.” Hearing the hypnotic voice on the radio, Ashmann becomes possessed by the parasite like Andrea before and attacks Jennifer. The girl tries to fight him off using the fire extinguisher but eventually he knocks her out.

She is then dragged by Andrea into the cold room, where Ashmann reveals that not only he is Celeste’s biological father, but her birth mother was in fact Richard, who was legally registered as Jennifer Richardine, and the girl was born as a result of a rape as Ashmann felt insulted that Felton stole Arianna from him. Disgusted by this story, Jen reminds Ashmann of how he molested his own sister, but Stefano angrily brushes her off calling the story ridiculous. Jen is then left alone to freeze to death when suddenly she hears a woman’s voice inside her head telling her how to use her hidden powers of Mother Acherontia. Guided by the voice, Jennifer assumes control of a moth and manages to free herself.

She discovers Elisa became possessed as well and is then pursued by all the three stalkers. Jennifer’s attempt to use her newfound powers accidentally results into the death of the hotel’s watchdog, which upsets the girl. She eventually encounters a nun dressed in red who chases her with a flamethrower, but Jen manages to flee. To her surprise, she finds Elisa brought back to normal and she reveals she was the voice guiding her before. Together the girls manage to outwit the nun and hide themselves in the utility closet, where Elisa explains that Porcelain’s lair is located in the hotel’s basement and he uses the loudspeaker to control the inhabitants of the Inn who are revealed to be stuck in a hypnotic loop unable to control their actions as their minds are trapped in a limbo. Elisa begs Jennifer to end the loop before the parasite possesses her again. Jen then flees down into the basement using the elevator shaft.

Jen finds herself in the underground lab where she finds the evidence of phenoxyl experiments having been conducted there. She also finds a film recording by Professor Wyman, who reveals that the experiments on the nuns of Cristo Morente had led to the disastrous results as they went mad from pain and Gloria eventually took over the role of Mother Acherontia. He tried to put the end to her by convincing one of the novices to burn down the cloister, however, Gloria survived. Wyman reveals that the only solution for him to regain the control is to conduct another group hypnosis session on Gloria and the rest of the Ashamnn Inn inhabitants, but he is afraid of it potentially resulting into his mind being “fractured” and his body becoming a mindless puppet of the parasite, leaving the rest of the participants trapped in a loop. Understanding what had happened to Wyman and the rest, Jen attempts to destroy the loudspeaker to liberate Elisa and the rest from Porcelain’s control. However, she is attacked by Porcelain who ambushes her, but she manages to make him retreat using electricity. Jennifer cuts off the cables in the control room and tearfully calls for help. She is soon found and rescued by Lindsay.

Jen and Linn escaping in the car

Jen and Linn try to escape through the garage before being attacked by Porcelain and Elisa, who restrains Lindsay and warns Jen to stay away. Jennifer manages to rescue Lindsay who attempts to start the car while Jen is fighting Porcelain using garage’s hanging lights. The two girls finally manage to escape in the car to Jen’s content, but Linn is not pleased. She reveals Jen was tricked, as Porcelain was actually keeping them all guided together and the one who will take his place as Mother Acherontia would be much worse. Lindsay starts mumbling a cryptic rhyme (“A child is dreaming in REM phase...”) before being dragged out from the car by Porcelain.

Affter the car crash Jennifer looks for Linn at the ruins of Cristo Morente. She finds an old picture, revealing Linn was a novitiate there. She is then confronted by the Red Nun, who Jen assumes to be Gloria Ashman warning Jennifer to go away. When Jen refuses to go without Linn, the Nun picks up her flamethrower and attacks her using her moths as a shield. Jennifer fights her off with a nailgun and knocks her out. The Nun’s hat falls off, revealing her to be Lindsay under the control of the real Gloria Ashmann, who was watching from upstairs. Gloria offers to let Jen go in exchange of leaving Lindsay behind, as the latter still has to pay for betraying their sisters. When Jen angrily refuses, Gloria makes Linn fight Jen again. Using her moth powers, Jen manages to defeat them both but loses consciousness as Porcelain reappears behind her back.

When Jennifer reawakens, she finds herself back at the hotel’s kitchen being scolded by Andrea. She blurts out Linn’s name but nobody seems to remember her. Sensing a déjà-vu, she suddenly hears a a familiar voice in her head telling her Gloria took over as Mother Acherontia and made Lindsay her medium, who channels her will to the rest, controlling their memories and making them forget about Linn. The only way to stop Gloria is to reawaken Linn from the limbo by using a “push”, something a medium would have an emotional response to. The voice is revealed to be Wyman, whose mind became fractured and trapped within the collective consciousness after his body was overtaken by the parasite. Jennifer realizes that the song from the movie Before Saying Goodbye could be Linn’s push. However, before she could use the loudspeaker, she is ambushed by Porcelain. Jen then decides to play the movie instead and sneaks into the hotel’s film room to retrieve it. There she is cornered by Stefano, who tries to stop her, hoping that Gloria would spare him from her revenge. Jennifer manages to distract Ashmann by revealing that Arianna loved only Richard Felton, who will always be the real father to her, and escapes his pursuit.

She finally makes it to the projector room and plays the film just in time before the Red Nun could get to her. Blinded by the projector’s light, the Nun falls down, revealing herself to be Elisa. Realizing that Elisa is actually Gloria and she had been manipulating them this whole time, furious Andrea attempts to stab her but is then shot by Stefano. Trying to reason with Gloria, he tried to convince his sister that everything was the Feltons’ and Lindsay’s fault but Jen reveals to her that Stefano was responsible for burning the convent in an attempt to silence Gloria and Linn was only a tool in his and Wyman’s hands. In pain from the memories of her brother harassing her, Gloria sends a swarm of moths to eat off his face and his left hand is then chopped off by Porcelain, who then goes after Jen as Gloria still blames the girl for the actions of her parents.

Meanwhile Lindsay reawakens from the hypnotic loop after hearing their song and she frees herself from Gloria’s control just in time before Porcelain could harm Jen. With Jennifer’s support she overtakes as Mother Acherontia and sends the parasite after Gloria. After being chased throughout the hotel’s premises, Gloria manages to set Porcelain on fire. As Wyman’s body burns down, she grabs his cane and swears she won’t be satisfied until everyone who harmed her is dead, and she’s going to start with Celeste’s parents.

Afterwards Linn and Jen walk together to the train station, where Jennifer reveals she can’t go to the contest with Linn as she has to return to her parents but promises she will see her there. The two girls hug and share a kiss. Jen returns Lindsay her violin she found back at the Inn’s storage and comments on its weird name, "Reed Rosemary". Linn corrects her saying it’s Red Rosemary”, but Jen replies she prefers “Reed”. The girls part ways, promising to reunite on “Top of the World”.

Return to the Felton Villa (1973)[]

03 Remothered -A-Lamb-To-The-Slaughter-Book-1

Celeste returns home.

Two years later after her disappearance, Celeste returned home hoping to save her parents from Gloria's rage. As Celeste grew older, Felton was unable to recognize her, confusing her for Jennifer, his true self he was never allowed to be. Celeste was soon followed by Gloria Ashmann, the Red Nun, seeking revenge against the Feltons. Having taken advantage of Richard’s distorted mind, who saw her arrival as a divine sign, Gloria turned Felton against his family. He locked Celeste away in her old bedroom with Arianna and put metallic bars on the windows to prevent them from escaping. To comfort her sick mother, Celeste would play Lindsay's song Top of the World on her piano, the song that Felton overheard, as he remembered it years later.

During the phenoxyl-induced mesmerism sessions Celeste had been forced to endure, her memory became blurry, yet she remembered how she promised to meet Linn on “Top of the World.” Struggling to keep her memories, she left a recording detailing the plan of her escape through the attic. She tried to convince her mother to come with her, however, Arianna became too weak and unable to move. Celeste managed to escape just in time before Richard, under the influence of Gloria’s mesmerism sessions, could get to her. Before leaving, she hid her Flemmington Girls' Institute bag containing Lindsay's violin inside the piano in her room and left a message carved under the lid saying "2 hearts never lonely."

The second escape (1973- present)[]

As she was locked away, Celeste couldn't keep her promise to Linn and she missed the contest. As the girls lost track of each other, Celeste decided to leave her past behind and move on. At some point she made it to Sweden, where she started writing under a pen name.

By 1992, she became a worldwide known writer and published another bestseller called The Keeper, dedicated to the memories of her loved ones, promising to never forget.
