Unnhh... where am I?What am I doing here?

"Antonio! Antonio! Somebody wants to see you!"

I hear a voice coming from behind. I can sense that there are very many people around.  I opened my eyes.The scene was a bit blurry, but I know I've been here before. I have dreamed of this moment for two times already. My head still hurts though.

"Antonio! Antonio!"

 somebody tapped me on my right shoulder from behind. I know he's tall and he's gonna disappear later.

"Somebody wants to see you, Mr. Villanueva. She's right behind you."

Okay. I turned around, but when I turned around, expecting to see everyone disappear, the lights went off.

Everything went silent for minutes. I can't see anything. then,

"As...."

I can feel something grabbing my shoulder.

"kaa......"

I woke up to see that I'm in my room, with the electricity down.

 and on top of me was....

....It.

It let out a deafening screech that made me crawl to the other corner of my room. My spine was tingling like bell chimes. My hairs all straightened up as I looked at the room only to see the ghost staring at me.

It was drawing closer and closer, walking as if it's right knee has been dislocated.

I closed my eyes because of the fear. I wanted to run but my body can't. I wanted to scream but my mouth can't. I'm helpless.

But... I saw my guitar just hands reach near the window.

And I... I'm recalling... something... ugh.... It was... professor zimilan....

"You might want to play a song later, Antonio." I can remember what professor has told me.

Wait... that's it.

I grabbed the guitar and started playing "Sorceress Elise" , the greatest melody that I have ever heard on a guitar play. I closed my eyes and started to play, even if I knew it's still going for it, but slowly. I just looked at my guitar and continued playing. God, I hope professor is right or I may just be composing my own funeral song. Aagh, Why would I have to play in the first place?

But I noticed something. It seemed that it stopped walking towards me. I stopped playing and looked at it.

It was the most beautfiul woman that I have ever seen.

Wearing a pink Yu'kata, her legs looked like it was okay now. She's so fair , and beautiful with black , wavy hair and with the marvelous black eyes...

I was stunned. Am I seeing a ghost, or an angel?

I played on the guitar while looking at her, trying to serenade her as the professor said.

She smiled and walked a little closer. She raised her right hand.

"Woah!" I gasped in amazement as it looks like she made me stand up, dropping my guitar.

Within a matter of seconds, she was right in front of me.

She leaned in, pouting her lips. I was scared and stunned at the same time. I just closed my eyes... and pouted my lips too.

Until they went over.

"Hey, what happened? I can hear screams here! " Jenny said.

"Wait, why are your eyes closed? And why are you pouting your lips?" Paolo added.
