As the wind gently swifts, she felt the coldness of the breeze against her bones. The kind of coldness that she feels over and over again..

"Amarah.."

Amarah sees herself walking down the dark alley, Suddenly she felt a water oozing through her feet. She can't explain what is that feeling.

"Amarah.."

She turned her head as the water continues to flow, she began in finding where is that voice coming from.

Who's that? Where am i?

As she continued to walk, she realized that she was naked, barefooted.. And no one's there to save her from this nightmare.

"Amarah.. Come.."

She saw a beautiful lady, dressed in purely white silk. She wants her to follow the direction she's pointing at. She followed the woman, and all of a sudden, she's at the cemetery.. The woman now is weeping while sitting in front of a grave.

"Who are you? Where am i? Why are you crying? Are you okay?" She asked.

The woman stopped weeping. But she's still sitting in front of that grave. She took a little closer to the woman to see her face. But as she reach the woman, her focus was diverted to the grave.

Amarah Hindley

Her eyes became wide open, it was her grave. But, who's the woman weeping in front of her own grave? She can't move as the woman slowly stand from sitting, ready to reveal her face. Her body froze for a moment. The woman now is standing in front of her, took a little step closer.. And closer.. And closer. She has a sinister smile while in a bloodied white silk, the dress in purely white silk before is now bloody as hell. She can't breathe..

"hahahahahah!" The woman laughed in an echoing voice.

What is this? Oh god. Help me..

The woman is her.

"Amarah! Amarah! Wake up!"

Maura tried to wake her up for she is sweating and screaming. She didn't know what to do. Until finally! Amarah woke up. Gasping for breathe. It's just a dream

"You're dreaming again. What is it this time?" Maura asked.

"It's her. It's her again Mau. I don't know what she really wants with me. It makes me feel like im not safe here anymore. It's my own grave. My own face, laughing at me. Am i going to die? Is that a premonition?"

"Hush. Don't say that. It's just a dream, A. You're just tired. I'll get you some water."

"No. It's not just a dream. It's repeating every night. I can't think or live normal anymore."

Maura patiently listening to Amarah while comforting her.

"Part of me says that i'm not alone. Maybe it has something to do with myself. With my past. Don't you think? It's just only me and mom now. Whenever i am asking about our family, and what really happened. she'll become silent. And aloof.."

"I don't know, A. Your mom has a lot of secrets. Even Mom says that she doesnt like to talk about your family. All she knows and remember is that, your father died on a car crash. If that's not the truth, only you has the chance to know what really happened. Whatever you wants to do, i'll always support you"

Maura and Amarah were bestfriends ever since their mother became bestfriends too. She's always been there for Amarah and became a big sister to her.
