               Place USA:
   The first rays of sunlight lit up Aurora's room. By rubbing her blurry eyes she finally opened them with a heavy headache. Her mom approached that figure with a big hug.
"Oh my god honey.....thank god you are ok!" Her mom said releasing a relieved breathe which was stuck inside her since yesterday night. After breaking hug Aurora asked her mother
"Mom....what happened? How I came here?".
"Lisa and Jake found you in a nearby park. You became unconscious. So they both took you here." Her mom said patting her head then a sudden flashback of yesterday night hit her like a truck. She became zoned out and sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Honey are you ok?" Her mom asked with a worried tone when she saw her daughter has zoned out.
"Y-yeah, mom.....I am having a headache...I want some rest" she said to her mother.
Her mother nodded and exited her room and went downstairs.
Fears and anxiety running through her whole body. Whole legs were shaking.

The night sky was shining with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shines like a silver claw in that sky.
That Day passed peacefully but for that poor girl, her day went frightened.
She has a lot of questions but no one is there to give her an answer. Her mind has messed with a jumble of thoughts.
She also has not met with anyone throughout the whole day, not even Jake, Lisa neither her mom.
Only one person can give the whole answer or that person itself is an answer.

The next day came in the blink of an eye. Instead of a bright, sunny day with Ray's hope, there is a dark black cloud of fear has scattered in the whole sky.
Her nose became red and her cheeks feel rubbed raw. Her body is trembling but not due to the cold weather but due to fear. Fear of expecting an answer she will receive after asking a question.
Aurora somehow managed to go outside of her house and move towards her neighbor's house. With her cold hand, she rang the doorbell of her neighbor house
Ding dong!
After sometimes a door has opened reveal along with Ms. Min with a warm smile she welcomed her.
"Hello Aurora...." she said with a bright smile.
"Hello, aunty.....I want to speak with you sometime...if you are free then?" Hesitating she said in result old lady nodded. And welcomed her in the warm hall.
Mrs. Min was preparing some snacks and juices for Aurora meanwhile, that girl was roaming in that room.
Their hall room was a bit small but comfortable. A black and white fitted carpet has covered the whole room. Inside that small comfy room, there was a television is on the top of one of the 12 shelves that compose the TV storage combination drawer. In the center of the room, there is a painted finish white coffee table. The top is in glass with the corners reinforced in wood. The bottom part is wood. The table is pretty short, as it has to go on a level with the sofa. On another wall, lots of photo frames are hanging it seems like it is a photo wall. Lots of photos are. In one photo there is a Mrs. Min with his 2 kids. In another photo, the same lady is there but this time she is with Mr. Min.
Like this, lots of photo frames are hanging across the whole wall.
While she was analyzing every photo. She came stopped in front of one photo and then suddenly her heart was pounding fast and then once again fear squeezed her stomach. Her eyes became wide and a cold shiver went down her spine just seeing that photos. While she was scanning that particular photo,/she heard someone voice that makes her jump from her place
"Isn't this photo beautiful?" Mr.min asked
"Yeah....wh-who are they?" She asked pointing towards that photo
"They both are our son and that lady is Iris our daughter-in-law. Wife of our elder son kilo. And another boy is our younger son Chris" he said smiling sadly
"Wh-where ar-are....where are they?" She asked him hesitantly.
"They all are dead" he replied
"Ca-can I as-ask how?" She once again asked. She was not ready for the answer he will going to say but seems like the universe is not with her side Mr. min said as expecting
"By car accident 15 years ago".
Shock, surprised, fear put the words in that old man's mouth when he answered.
She froze, the warmth of comfy home leaves and replaced with fear. Her throat became dried she felt a world around her is spinning and not in a second her eyesight became a blur, her legs have given up and not so soon her body has collided with the floor. Everything in her sight became blackout.

Once again sunlight came in a contact with her eye as soon as she opened it. With a heavy headache, she woke up
"Oh, my honey.....why are you again felled unconscious? I told you not to go outside until and unless you feel perfectly fine." Her mom said with a worried tone.
"Mo-mom....I-i am ok," she said resting her hand in her head and again flashback came into her head. World against her again started to spinning.
"Mo-mom," she said in a low tone nervously and her mom looked towards her
"Ca-can you cal-call Lisa?". She asked her mom who raised her eyebrow confusingly.
"Yeahhh.....but why??" Her mom asked
"I-I want to as-ask something about school-related stuff," she said not making any eye contact with her mom
"Ok...I will call her" her mom said kissing in top of her head and went downstairs

"First you called me aurora now you are not saying anything....what happened?" Lisa asked her best friend who is roaming in her room biting her nails
"I want to talk but.....but I don't know from where I should start," aura said stopping her track and went to sit in her bed beside Lisa
"I want to tell you what happened last night," she said and continue

Flashback to last night
When aurora went to meet her neighbor crush in a nearby garden. When she reached there she found that he was sitting on a bench. She slowly moved towards him and sit beside him
While clearing her throat she started to speak "h-hey..." she said looking towards him while he was blankly looking at the starless sky
After some awkward silence, she again spoke
"I am Lisa....you're new neighbor," she said but as a result, not a single word has been received from his side
Once again silence captured that place
"You are so quiet...only I am speaking with you ...what's your name?" She again asked but instead of silence, she received a word from his side.
" my name is Chris," he said  still staring in the sky
"Hi, Chris...I am Lisa" she said smiling. Her cheeks become red like tomatoes.
"The world is so beautiful....isn't it?" He said
"Yeah...I know...I am glad to live in this beautiful world and able to see this" she said smiling eye on the ground
"Not everyone is as lucky as you," he said making her confused
"Sorry?" She was confused a little bit
"What's your dream?" He asked
"To travel and experience the beauty of this world," she said and continue
"What's your dream?" She asked and he chuckles and said
" dreams belong to those who are alive" then he directly makes eye contact with her and she noticed that his eyes were all black and instead of white sclera there was a color of pure blood seems like he is hungry of someone blood
Then realized hit her like a truck and suddenly she moved backward
"Y-you..you're ey-eyes... I mean aren't you...aren't you normal hun-human like us?" She said stuttering
He came closer and closer and he said "no...I died 15 years ago only," he said taking a step backward
"H-how...?" she asked gulping nervously
"Mr. and Mrs. Min will tell you...maybe truth," he said, and before she processes what happens she saw that his hand is moving through her hair and taking her hair smell. She felt very scared but she could not move from her place due to fear.
Then suddenly he disappeared in thin air. Her head started getting heavy then she fell into dizziness.
Flashback end

After aurora completed her story there was complete silence in her room. A fear of shiver ran through Lisa's body.
"There is one more thing which makes me more scared", Aurora said breaking the silence between them and Lisa looked her
"Then...what?" She asked
"Today I went to Mr. And Mrs. Min house and there I found that Chris along with his brother and his brother wife with their children has died but something  else which I found more dangerous to me," she said looking towards the wall of her bedroom blankly
"And what is that?" Lisa asked




















"The woman who used to come in my dream is none other than Mr. and Mrs. Min daughter in law...who also died in a car accident and in the same way I used to dream"
