"Are you okay?" Rowan asked , as he gently applied antiseptic on her hands.
She nodded affirmative but silent tears flowed down her cheeks.
They both were sitting on the cold tile floor of the bathroom.
Lydia's legs could not take the effort of standing and top of that Rowan saw her crying like a baby. Talk about utter humiliation.
"You know what is happening to me." Lydia said softly, her eyes still cast downwards.
Rowan finished bandaging her hand.
"What makes you say that?"he asked.
" You look at me like the way.....usually they always do."
She said hesitating a little.
Rowan tilted his head on one side.
"Who are this 'they'?"
"I don't know!" She said panicking.
"They are everywhere. They don't leave me alone.
They are dark. They feel evil"
She whispered hyperventilating.
"Its alright, Lydia. Calm down."
Rowan hugged her tightly by the shoulders as her salty tears flowed down.

"Well they are taking their time in the 'washroom'!" Liam quoted.
Mrs Martin sighed.
"It was never the same after the accident!"
Stiles leaned in. Thus was news. He had no idea about an accident taking place.
"What accident Jenna?"
His curiosity was on its peak.
"Oh you didn't know! I thought Lydia would have told you everything about it. You guys are best friends after all."
Jenna replied, her face showing confusion and surprise.
"Well anyway," she continued.
"Lydia had ran into a tree as she tried to avoid hitting of an animal.
Her car flipped and her pulse rate was very low when the ambulance reached."
She wiped her tears that had formed.
"I almost lost my baby.
The doctors were certain she would die, but she survived.
Bless that girl who had found her and called the ambulance.
But the police always said there was no animal found.
Lydia insisted there was, but she couldn't see what it was due to darkness."
She continued with sad and concerned expression.
"I don't know what made her do it. Maybe her father leaving made a big impact on her."
"When did this happen Jenna?" Stiles asked further.
He had a feeling in his gut, that this accident was related to Lydia's strange behavior lately.
Yeah. He had noticed but never commented.
She looked at them and the choked out.
"Three years ago, on 20 December."
Exactly when Stiles's older sister went missing.
