A neglectful family... A present made of lies... Ava, a desperate novelist is loosing herself to it.
Joe, Ava's friend and a cop is trying to find it....
Ten people..... Ten stories.... One reason - Find them.
Everything is crumbled when one is kill...
I've only seen Joe in this state one time and that was during Sid's death but at that time he stood strong for me. I decided to hide about what I experienced as I didn't want him to worry more. I let him sleep and went down to have a walk but stopped midway realizing that George was buried in the garden. I went to the library and was simply looking through the racks when I heard someone's footsteps. I turned to meet two pale blue green eyes that might have once shined like an emerald.
I could hear the my heart beat getting faster and for a second I was again in front of the photos.
"Ava...Ava.." I heard Amy's voice that brought me back to the present.
"Ava are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine. I thought about something... never mind."
"Are you busy? Can I have a talk with you?"
"Of course. Tell me what happened?"
"Can we go to my room? I don't want to talk about it here."
As soon as I entered the room she locked the room and told me to take a seat. For a second I was scared but seeing she mean no harm I relaxed. But I saw that Amy herself was scared.
"Ava I don't know whether Joe have told you about me or that we knew each other. I knew George also. I was once accused of a murder. At that time I had to visit the station regularly and Joe was in charge of that case. At that time I met George there... He was there to make them search more about his families death and now he is dead I feel like I'm going to be the next target. Can you talk to Joe about this. At nights I feel like someone is watching me and I'm really scared."
"Joe have told me about you but I don't know much just that you knew other." I felt like asking about her sister. "Amy you have a sister right? Is she in the movie field too?"
"No, I'm a single child. Why do you ask?"
"No it's just I felt that you had a sister... Anyway I'll talk to Joe about what you told me. By the way, what about your family?"
"I live alone now. Father left me as a child and I lost my mother to cancer 7 years back. Then I married Daniel my childhood love but it didn't last long. 3 years after marriage he cheated me with my best friend and me being accused of Milly's death also played a role in our divorce. So now I stay alone. So no family. What about you?"
"I once had everything or that's what I believed. My parents only cared about my sister so I let them free from me. That's it." I started panicking when she asked about my family, so before the situation could be more awkward I left her room. Before I could leave the room she once again reminded me to talk to Joe about what she told.

I was feeling very hungry and went to the kitchen to find it empty. So I went back to my room and started working on my draft. It was almost finished. Even though I was not satisfied with my work I planned to submit this and continued working on it. After finishing I went to meet Jane. What Amy told about herself was hard for me to believe with everything that happened. I planned to ask Jane about her and knocked on her office door but got no response. I tried the door and it opened for my surprise. We were informed not to enter the room unless Jane was inside but my curiosity made me pry into the room. I approached her desk to find it clean, so I checked the draw to find some files. I was going to keep the file back when a paper fall down and it had my name in it. I checked it to find that it contained my details even that I never told Jane. When joining the course they asked our name and our address but the document even had Sid's details clipped with mine. I checked other files to find that each of us here had a detailed file on them.
I suddenly searched for Amy's file. On finding it I looked into the details of her family which showed that whatever she told me was true. So I looked the other file clipped with it to find a woman's details. Her name was Milly that made me scoff thinking about how they had even checked on the person related to us. It said that Milly was her best friend and neighbor and Amy was accused of her murder because of the increased stardom and the affair she was having with Daniel, the motive being jealousy and anger. I turned the page to find Milly's photo and was shocked seeing who that was. It was the woman from my dream.... The woman whom I mistook as Amy's sister.
