This was humiliating, being told to sit down so many times by strangers, if anything you should have kept a notebook to write down how many times you were being ordered around.

The woman was sitting right beside you on the bed, the eyes behind her mask burning your eyes.

"What is it that you want to ask... is this going to be related to the killer? Are you looking for him too?" You asked.

She stayed silent for a moment, the mask muffling her exhaled laugh, "seems like you already have an idea." She says, her voice deep and yet soft, "if you could tell me where Liu is I would deeply appreciate it too."

Your eyes widened, she knew who he was too, "how... do you know I was with him?" You ask, a bit nervous.

"The news gave it away that a smiling killer was looking for you, obviously Liu is gonna be there." She responds, "he's looking for him just like me."

From your understanding two people are looking for the smiling killer now, you started to wonder what this man has done to have two people behind his tail. Must have been very bad, both Liu and this woman have very bad injuries and they must be very thirsty for revenge. But the more you thought about it, if this man is the Liu you're thinking about he must be seeking revenge for something.

"(Y/n), I won't ask you again. Where is he now?" The woman speaks up once again, the eyes behind her mask staring at your figure intently.

"I don't know where he is, I don't know how you're gonna find him." You responded rather dryly, being honest the best you could just to not get on her nerves, she only stayed quiet, examining your face, "I don't know why you're looking for him if your main goal is the actual killer who's on the loose."

The woman stayed quiet for a moment but proceeds to speak up. "I'm trying to get to him too." She responded shortly, "(Y/n), I cannot let Liu get him first."

"Look... I don't wanna be part of this, I don't know who you are, and if this Liu is who I think it is, I don't wanna be in his crazy business either, just please let me live my life in peace–" you were cut off when the woman suddenly shifted her body towards you, without hesitation she pushes you down harshly on the bed, the tip of her knife poking your injured shoulder slightly.

Is he really alive? Or it's all in my head?

"You've been involved in this since the incident happened." She responded, her voice soft yet a hint of anger rising in her. "You have and always will be involved in this situation, no matter how much you're trying to forget me or them."

You completely froze, processing her words, everything felt like a truck hit you, a sudden pounding your head, you shook your head as you tried to forget and deny whatever flashbacks was coming to you, "I... don't know what you're talking about, they're all dead."

Jane?

"So you're telling me we came back from the dead?" She asks, you could clearly sense that she was already agitated the more she talked about it, "I tried to move on, (Y/n)... I really did. I found someone who loved me and Jeff decided to take her away from me." She responded, her voice breaking slightly, her knife threatening to pierce a bit deeper into your shoulder, "he ruined my life from the very beginning... and he ruined hers just because she was with me."

It can't be... Jane, Jeff, Liu? They died in the fire.

"This has nothing to do with me!" You shouted, pushing her off of you, making her fall to the floor with a hard thud, "look I'm sorry. But this... this whole situation doesn't concern me, you want your revenge? Fine! But don't look after me, I'm done being everyone's bait!" You get up from the bed looking down at her, "I'm gonna ask you to leave."

This is a very bad dream, after all these years... am I still feeling guilty about it? Is it coming back to me in a dream?

The woman as she was on the floor, started laughing softly, her mask muffling her laugh, "oh, (Y/n)... you've been bait since the very beginning." She continued, her hand gripping the hilt of her knife tightly, "and you always will be." She quickly gets up from the floor, the other hand turning into a fist as it quickly connects with your face, a swift and harsh movement enough to make you jerk your head to the side, your body falling back to the bed.

You groaned trying to get up again but it was useless as she grabs you from the collar of your shirt, pulling you towards her harshly, "where the hell is Jeff?" She asks again, her voice seething with anger.

"In... his grave." You respond, spitting blood from your mouth as you looked at her eyes, your mind still in denial, setting it back to that fire incident where everyone burned, and you were the only survivor... thanks to him.

This had to be a very bad dream, you just couldn't believe it was her after all these years, after that brutal fire, everyone was turned into ashes and you were sure of it.

You quickly grab her by the wrist, forcing her to let you go, but to no avail she was stronger than you, she didn't move an inch as her grip on you tightened.

Please wake up... it's just a bad dream.
