The sun comes up, all seem to be calm and quite, but like all horror stories, calm and quite is the perfect time for something eerie to strike.

Everything seems in order but that's not the same for Mr. Justin.

He slowly opens his eyes and he sees a very blurry light focusing on him, he realizes that he is tied up on a chair, he is unable to move. He tries to scream, but no sound comes out from him. He panics, he is about to go into a Fitz, then a voice is heard, its a girl.

"Please, do not pursue me. I have no intension of killing you. I Lucy, pleadge that if u continue trying to find and stop me, u shall be my next victim and trust me it will not be a pleasent one" she ends her harsh yet sweet conversation with an evil giggle.

He looks closer and he sees a face with hair covering most of it, he tries to see throught the thick black hair and he sees a mouth like that of a monster with sharp teeth, and blood flowing down from it, like a fountain. The eyes are yellow like that of a cat. He is extremely horrified by the sight, he then faints after starring at it for sometime.

Then he jumps up from his sleep, covered in sweat and he realizes that all that he went through was just a dream, he walks to the washroom and splashed water on his face. He tries to figure out the dream and why he got that. He was very much worried, he could not understand why he would get such a dream but still he had taken a stern discussion to find Lucy no matter what. He continues to search his house for anymore clues on who had visited his house the other night. He searched the shelf again and he still did not find his book. But one thing he did not notice before was a small portable speaker lying on his table. He searched the play list for any tracks. He did not find anything, he noticed the antenna was up.

He put the speaker in the drawer, and went out. He was again roaming around the city trying to get as much information as he can to find Lucy. He believes that ghosts are not real but about 30% of his mind is fighting against his belief and wants to believe in the supernatural. He is still worried about the dream he got. He checks the different records about visitors or residents of the city trying to find the name Lucy somewhere. Even the police have tried this tactic but they where in vain despite all the search.

He also checks the telephone directory to find some clue. He then notices the name of a villa named lucyfer's villa. This leaves him with a lot of suspicion and also a bit of hope as he believes that he has got a very good clue. He is doubting this place because the Dark Angel lucifer, is spelled ending with luc-I-fer but the name of the house was luc-Y-fer. The name started with Lucy. He tore the page without anyone knowing and he went to the address.

He saw a very big house. It was old yet it was well conditioned as if people where still staying there but there was a for sale board outside and the gate was locked from the outside. He checked if anyone was around and when he realized the area was clear he jumped over the wall and went inside the house. He tried switching the lights on but there was no power, but that was pretty obvious, yet he felt like there was someone staying in that place. He went to the bathroom and checked for water, there he was left with a single drop that dripped from the shower. He thaught to himself ''there was at least one drop so it must have been used a few days back''. He then started searching the place but he couldn't find anything usefull. It still seemed as if the house didnt have any visitors. He was in vain again. He called the number given, the no one picked up the phone. Then he went out and left the house as it was before he entered.

Jesse was walking to her home after buying some stuff from the grocery. On the way Justin came, caught her arm and pulled her to the side to talk to her.

"Whats the matter with you?" Jesse questioned out of shock.

"I found a clue, no, better I call it a breakthrough in our search for Lucy" Justin exclaimed with joy and in a hurry.

"I knew it, you are involved in this case" Jesse said, completely ignoring what he said, and not willing to hear what he had to say "I should report you to the general now itself"

"No. Wait. Just hear me out" Justin pleaded.

"I don't want to hear anything from you" Jesse replied being extrwmly stubborn.

"Fine, just look at this, read the 17th address, house name" he pointed the ripped off paper at her face.

"Lucifer's villa, why?" Jesse asked with a confused look.

"You see, spell out the name of the house alphabet by alphabet" Justin rushed.

"L-U-C-I-F-E-R-S- -V-I-L-L-A" Jesse replied, spelling each letter.

"What do you mean by 'I'? it's a 'Y'" Justin replied with an astonished face.
He read what was written and he couldn't believe it. It was written LUCIFER. there was no Y to be seen.

"No, this...this...this is not possible... it was 'Y' before when I read it...somebody is playing a prank on me...no...!!" He started to get paranoid and started freaking out.

"Hey, stop that, your creeping me out, look you must leave this Lucy case, you are so involved that now you are hallucinating stuff, go home take rest and leave this case, if you know what's good for you" Jesse told him and left.

"But it is not possible" Justin was completely broken. His hope broke down completely, as a tower, that came so tall and got demolished as swift as a shooting star. He crumbled the paper in his hands and went back to his home. When he reached his home the time was 11:50pm. He sat on his chair and threw the paper on his desk, he started to tear up. He lied on his desk, starring at the crumbled paper. Then something on the paper got in his attention just below the address of lucifer's villa. It was written the address to a small unnoticed amusement park 'Lulu's Cruelty' he stares at it for some time as the clock rings 12.
