It was already past half an hour ago since Marina fall asleep. Hillary kept rolling on her huge bed. Some thoughts were gambling in her mind. She concluded to go downstairs to get some milk. Her mom once said that the milk enables someone fall asleep comfortably.
She jilted and adjusted her right arm to outstretched for the metal door knob.While meandered going down the stairs, she spotted a shadow through the glass window of the living room which was bosom to her."Georgia possibly forgot to secured the curtain." she whispered in her thoughts.She halted for a while. Tension distinctly put on view in her alluring face. She devoured her saliva. Her throat went droughty. This figure beared resemblance to the same person she spotted during her performance earlier. She wanted to called out her nanny but pulled back.Her foot was strucked by horror to where she was positioned. She was terrified. Her mom and dad are inaccessible at the moment."How can this person blew in the gate?" she was bewildered.The shadow was gaping at her direction. He was glaring at her furiously.Their body guards served their family since she moved to this mansion. They will not execute such scheme. She's positive about this.A little later, the shadow vanished from her eyesight."Where did he go?"Hillary was definite that it's a guy because from afar his figure revealed his muscled chest through his suited shirt.When she retaliated that the shadow was out of her sight she contemplated about her friend's safety in her room. Oh! she needed to check on Marina.She rushed back to her room. In a bat of an eye she opened the door but staggered to notice that Marina was sitting in her bed staring at her with serious expression.No one plucked up the courage to speak up. Minutes passed."Did I stir up your sleep?" Hillary inquired beyond trembling voice."No." Marina refuted shortly fixing her eyes at her friend with anger. Hillary startled.But few seconds after, Marina was grinning widely."I'm just kidding, haha. I caught sight of you headed downstairs so I was alarmed. I ceased for you to come back. Are you okay? You look pale." Marina explained worriedly." I saw., I....,it's uhm.. something.. uhhm" she said through twitching voice.She desired to say that the image of the man in the show kept haunting her and the contour she saw earlier was really something.Marina is one of her bestfriends, she trusted her but something was gripping her not to vocalized the incident to her. What if she won't believe her or that perhaps her friend fend off from her. The whole thing might scare her so she gave ground to it."I just need to get some water but the light was turned off". She reasoned out instead."I see. You should wake me up. " her friend said beaming and fondled her shoulders."Let's get you some water, darling."She wanted to stopped her friend but she was behind time. Marina already leaped in the staircase going downstairs so she came after her. Marina quickly tapped the switch.Hillary peeked in the window and perceived nothing. She notion about it maybe it was her hallucinations or illusions but it was dictinctly displayed infront of her wide open eyes. It's real ! She was certain about it.She revoked the memory of the shadow.She then closed the curtain.Marina filled a glass of water and handed it to her."Here," she spoke in a moderate tone.After a moment of silence, they dawdled back to her room. Sooner they laid their back in the sloppy bed and closed their eyes.Past three in the morning when a girl in a huge bed gasping, breathing heavily, uneasiness clearly manifested in her pale face. Sweat was all over her slim body despite the cold atmosphere from the air condition and the panic in her face was visible.Then she murmured,"Who are you? What do you need from., from.. me.. what is, is..?" she was sobbing. Indeed she was dreaming.She turned her head left and right Feeling chagrined.. Her inaudible sob turned into a scream..."Ahhhhhh!!! No!!!!!!"It was a nightmare!Marina aroused from her deep sleep hearing Hillary screamed."What happened?" she questioned with fret."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I..I didn't mean to. .," she didn't wrap up her sentence. A warm embrace of her friend engulped her."Shhhh, it's fine. I'm here. It's just a dream".Hillary can't figure out why she dreamt about him. In her dream he sheltered his face in that black mask. His eyes piercing with great intensity that passed through her nerves. He laughed at her. She was cuffed, and sitting on a chair. A piece of cloth tucked her mouth. There's a dead body in front of her. She was frozen with terror. The figure behind the mask killed someone. She can't recognized the body that was immersed with blood. Her dream was such a crime! It was a murder case!She questioned the guy's identity. When he was about to get rid of his mask. She screamed"ahhhh! no!!!!" .She woke up from her nightmare without catching the figure behind the black mask.She was disoriented, her face was covered with terror, why all of a sudden this guy emerged in her dream and ravaged her glorious night.It maybe a very bad omen. Some adversity was bound to arise, she pondered. She needed to probe about the factual profile of the guy in her show. He might hold a strong attachment from her past."Are you okay?", her friend interrogated her."Yes, thanks to you.. You can returned to sleep now. I apologize for troubling your sleep." she said earnestly."No worries", Marina rested back.She attempted to sleep once again but she can't find her pace.After a second of realization she heard her friend sleeping soundly.She stand up to thrum her electric guitar and strung it to the rhythm of the song, "You're love", This song holds a great meaning to her."You're the one that never lets me sleepTo my mind, down to my soul..... "Tears kept rolling down her sweet cheeks until she hummed the last few lines,"I feel the chill insideYour love, your love..."She sang this song when she was in the orphanage.Thirty minutes flied fiddling away with the rhythm of her guitar. Hillary returned it to her customized case and displayed it on the wall.Her tears drifting down her face freely. She sobbed in silence. In front of her bed, she squatted. She picked up something under her bed which she kept for over a decade. It was a wooden treasure box! She laid a hand on it once again and settled down on the tiled floor. Her slender hands slid and broached it silently and carefully not to wreck Marina's sleep.Hillary was crying. Inside the treasure box was a wooden bracelet, this valuable brought back her memories in the past.FlashbackThirteen years ago in one of the notable orphanage in the country wherein it was located in the southern part of Los Angeles and considered as one of the most occupied cities in the country, Hillary was one of the youngsters who found shelter from that foundling home. She was an orphan back then.It was windy Sunday afternoon when three kids were joyfully babbling
After Marina awaken and pulled out early because she required to go home and changed into a school uniform Hillary stand up too and get ready for her class. Because of her nightmare she didn't get sufficient sleep. However she needs to keep going. "When the going gets tough only the toughest can keep going," she thought.She noticed her eyebags in the mirror which stipulated that she was restless the other night. She walked directly to the bathroom and gained a warm shower. The figure of the guy with the mask continued bugging her mind. It was a mystifying feeling. She turned off the shower at once and quickly changed. She picked up her school uniform which dangled in her closet and her feet lead her downstairs after drying her hair."Good morning", she greeted Georgia."Good morning to a pretty lady like you." Georgia responded shortly and noticed her eyebags."It seemed you didn't have a good sleep" "Oh, nevermind." She don't want to drop any details of her nightmare. She don't wa

They knew exactly how he hungered to catch sight of Hillary again. He managed to neaten his bed of his VIP suite. His suite has austere design somehow it looks elegant and classy. He is a neat freak. He takes great pleasure to see all his things organize.Around eight thirty he buzzed Janna notifying her that he's on his way. On the other side Janna was still mazed what brought Kryss in New York."It must be for deeper reason" she thought.She concluded to take a shower and dressed out herself.Not long after upon her entry at the restaurant she informed him. She settled on the rim side so she can have an aerial view of the restaurant and to wheeze some fresh air.Thereafter she spotted Kryss and wagged her hand. She guessed Kryss has a favor to ask from her. They've been friends for quiet a while now but he never requested her to eat out without Rocc
Two weeks passed after graduation, Hillary opted to visit the orphanage. She desired to thank those people who were behind her achievement.She strolled as she set foot into the orphanage and saw her so-called parents who granted her protection during her stay in the foster care.They dashed and hugged her as they noticed her arrival."By the way dear, someone sent a parcel for you yesterday. We accepted it but we noticed not any single note was affixed in it. The delivery man implied that it was excusively for you. I was supposed to call you after our breakfast but you came early. I have no idea why it was transported here not in your adress." Ma'am Sophie spelled out in detail.Hillary was astonished. She got hold of the parcel and immediately open it. Upon spying what's inside the package she can't hold back her tears any longer. It was her photo with Nikko and Bat Man. "Where are they now?

She only have this week to hang around and pull off the things she desired to do.She received a text from Marina signifying that Marcus will treat them to a lunch out. She was delighted. In spite after they graduated these two friends of her were still attached to her. She is grateful that despite her parent's unavailability she have Marcus and Marina by her side. She was touched.They will meet up in Adam Perry Lang Restaurant since both of them take pleasure eating with barbecues. It's acknowledged for its mouthwatering menus and is top of the line. She's so happy that she will be allocating a palatable lunch with the chatters. As she threw herself into the restaurant she quickly spotted the two anticipating for her arrival. "You're here.

Hillary arrived in Manhattan New York. It was a straight five hours flight for her. She felt so exhausted. She conveyed her two suitcases, her guitar, and her sling bag.She mailed messages to her mom, her dad, Marina and Marcus notifying them that she reached there safe and sound. She decided to grab a take out meal first. After the flight she felt hungry. She ended up having a taste at La Grenouille. After the scrumptous meal in the restaurant, she then understood why it became famous. The food is incredible.She hailed a taxi and presented to the driver the address that Marina provided. It was not a long way from the airport, she was grateful for her friend's aid.After half an hour drive, not far away she spotted a girl which is in her early forties based in her assesment. She has a short blonde hair. The lady was patiently waiting for her.

Hillary rouse early, she received an email from the organizer of the event that they required to bring themselves to the event hall and proceed with registration process eventhough they submitted their credentials through online.She examined her suitcase and picked up a floral dress. She got a cold shower and fixed herself in a small mirror inside the room. She glanced at her figure and she looked satisfied. She decided not to bring her guitar since she will only be there for registration. She went to the kitchen and noticed Marina wasn't there."She might went to the market", she thought. Then decided to eat later after singning up. She lifted her purse and mobile situated inside her room and as she was about to bust out she overheard a loud noise coming from her room. She was startled. She thought it might a branch of a tree but later on she realized that there are rooms in the second floor.It's already morning but the atmosphere seemed creepy.
