The other night Eliza went to her home and slept with disappointment. The clock struck 12:00 a.m and Eliza kept on cursing the officers and her friends. She thought that day 3 already started but still nothing is happening to her. She was so worried about her sister and wanted to call her parents but she knew that they won't believe her. So she left the topic and slept.

Eliza was alone in her dreams and there was a white fog all over the ground. She thought it was heaven and as soon as she stepped in to the enormous golden gates of heaven, the gates vanished and became thorns ,white fog happened to be blood all over the ground and the peaceful atmosphere turned out to be the worst. She saw the same woman holding her sister's neck and was playing with her hair, pinching her until she bled and was compressing her face. Sara was screaming for help and the woman started sucking Sara's blood from the neck. Eliza ran and when she touched the woman, Sara disappeared and Eliza was caught. The woman opened her mouth so wide, her teeth had some fungus and she started to get close to Eliza and kept her teeth on her neck. Eliza woke up. She ran to the mirror and checked her neck, it was written "Day 3" on her neck, it looked more like the woman scratched Eliza's neck with her nails.

Eliza slowly started to bleed and she ran to the kitchen for first aid. She wiped her neck with some anti-septic liquid and tied a bandage around her neck. When she saw the clock, it was 2:00 a.m, she decide not to sleep and was wandering around the house, she switched on all the lights and was watching every second with a tired face. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw the woman.

It was 4:35 a.m, Eliza was hungry, she wanted to eat something but she had to cook for eating and she doesn't know how to cook. She suddenly remembered her sister, she hid all her biscuits in the drawer. She ran and opened the biscuits. The biscuits were rotten and the fungus was all over the biscuits. Eliza didn't wanted to eat anymore after see the disgusting biscuits. Sara hid the biscuits a week ago and she thought how could the biscuits rotten.

Hours passed, Eliza was so weak as she didn't eat since morning. It was finally 7:05 a.m, Eliza went out with her leftover pocket money. She went to food stall nearby and ordered cheese sandwich which was her favorite but she still wasn't satisfied without her sister close to her who was always ordering veg sandwich. She asked the bearer whether he saw her sister as he knew these 2 girls since  a very long time. He said that the last time he saw her was with a woman. He waived at Sara but the woman didn't let her see him and was looking at him very sharply. He also said that they went towards the East and that's the last time he saw Sara.

Eliza was very happy that she at least got a clue where they went. She asked many people over there but all they said was they don't know. It was 2:00 p.m, still she didn't find any clue. She sat down on the street and was thinking where would she be. As through her analysis, there are over 5 places in the East she suspected, but she had only 7 days left. She had to do something about it.

She made up a plan that each place would take at least a day to find and search. But she needed someone to help her with all her belongings during the search. She wanted to call her friends and ask for help but her ego came in between. She thought she should leave and make a plan before sunset as she had very little time to cope up with her problems.

She made a plan that she should be ready by 8:00 a.m in the morning. Then she should finish her breakfast by 8: 30 a.m. After that she needs to carry a bag that has her necessary  belongings in it. She should step out of the house by 9:00 a.m. Then to find her suspected place, search for her sister and then put an end to it, she thought.

It was 7:34 p.m, her plan was finished and went out for dinner. Again she had to go to that food stall. The bearer noticed her silence and asked her what happened, she said everything and she also told him that he wouldn't believe in her as this sounds too childish. The bearer motivated her and gave her confidence to go out and find her sister. She felt better after that.

It was 9:53 p.m. Eliza was so scared to sleep. She closed her eyes and started chanting prayers and slept.
