To Lily's surprise, there was nothing in the box.. but she felt a weird aura surrounding her the second she opened the package. Lily stood there, looking confused, dazed, and shattered too. It felt like a cobra snaking around her body, like something was changing in her. She stood next to the table where she opened the box, stunned, overwhelmed by the aura of the box.. and in someway, she felt, scared. For once, she felt scared. Lily's always been a daredevil and have never been scared of anything. even the scariest of things couldn't even phase her, or even make her flinch. Even after her beloved mother passed, she has not been scared of anything.


She swindled at the thought, that she was scared. This was the first time, in a long time, that she'd been scared of something. She stood rooted to the ground like plant roots and didn't know what was going on at all. It felt like sleep paralysis, except that she wasn't trying to sleep, nor was she lying down.  She felt a weird sensation spying down on her, not noticing how long she'd be standing there.


She stared at the empty box for a few minutes before eventually keeping the box somewhere that was visible. Once she put the box down, the aura goes away. "W-what? W-what's happening to m-me?" Lily murmurs. Coincidentally, Keith, came around and saw her stunned, holding the box like it's a lifeless baby. "What's wrong babe?" he asked. "N-nothing.." She calmly said, not wanting him to have his curiosity get the better of him. "You sure? You look.. shocked. You stood there for 10 minutes, shocked. You okay, babe?" He worriedly asked. He didn't understand her emotions, but felt compelled to ask. "W-wait.. ten m-minutes?!" Lily exclaimed. "Yeah? what's wrong with that?" he asked.


Later that night, Lily couldn't even sleep without thinking of the strange aura that came out of the box, it felt addicting and felt like a pleasurable sensation. "Fuck.. what did I do wrong? Was it that video I saw last night?" She thought. "There's no way that an aura captured me and held me there for 10 minutes. Shit, it felt like 1 minute! Fuck, fuck, fuck!" She couldn't think straight, as if her mind was blocked by an unmovable boulder. She tucked her head into her pillow and just tried to get some rest. It was 3AM when she was about to sleep. She did not realise the thing that's making her restless and crazy.
