'Who are you?'
'You don't know who I am?'
'What are you going to do with him? Please don't hurt him'
'Ssshhh...sshhh.. I'm not going to hurt him, just having a little taste'
"No! Don't hurt him! Noo!!" July said as she woke up from her dreams. Hearing this, Thomas alerted going to his sister bedroom to check on her. "Hey, hey, hey. I'm here, it's okay. Sshhh.." Thomas said while craddling her to his arms. "I saw the person, the same person who hurts Kenzie." July said while sobbing. "What is he doing in your dream?" Thomas ask. "He said something like 'just having a little taste' and it's all black again." July answers. Thomas listened to every words she said and he was shocked. It's a new problem to them both. He needs to find who's behind this and what does this person wants.
The next morning, like usual Thomas woke up at 06:30 AM to shower and make breakfast for his sister. He lets July sleep a little longer because of her nightmare last night. After an hour preparing, he wonders why July hasn't woke up from her sleep. So he went to her bedroom to checked her. He went upstairs and knock on her door softly then opens the door, even tiptoeing inside her room. "July?" Thomas called as he walk towards her bed. Stroking her hair and take a few strands of hair out of her face. When he was caressing her face, he felt her forehead a little hot. "Oh god, you're burning up." Thomas said. July fluttering her eyes waking up. "Thomas? What time is it now?" July said as she sits up slowly. "Hey, you're having a fever. It's around seven but you're burning up." Thomas said. " I'm think I'm good. I need to get ready." July said as she gets up and walk towards the bathroom. He watched her sister walks to the shower slowly, she looks weak right now. "July, if you can't hold the pain. Call me okay? I pick you up right away." Thomas said as he walk towards the door and went downstairs.
It took July fifteen minutes to get ready and walking down the stairs to the dining room. "Hey pretty sis. Good morning." Thomas said as he pours a soup into the bowl and serve it on the table. "Good morning." July said as she sat on the dining chair. "I made you bacon but because you're heating up, I made you chicken soup. Eat up and I take you to school, okay?" Thomas said before ruffling her hair. She cough a little. "July what's wrong? Is it too salty or what?" Thomas ask. "I'm fine but the pepper is a lot." July said as she took a sip of her water. " I'm so sorry, July. I improve next time." Thomas said. "No worries. I'm done, let's go." July said as she take her helmet and walk towards the front door.
On 08:45 AM, Thomas parked his bike in the parking lot before getting of the bike. Thomas looks at her sister worried. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" Thomas ask. "I'm okay, don't worry about it." July said while holding her brother hand making sure that she's fine. Gia and Jess saw July as they're also just arrived at school. They ran to her immediately. "Hey, July." Both of them greet her. "Hey, Gigi." Thomas greets her with a flirty smile. "Tommy.." Gia greets back and blush hardly. "Jessy, you're quiet today." Thomas said. "Hi, Thomas. I'm just a little tired." Jess said. Her eyes a little red. "Tired, huh? That means our plan are going to be cancelled for tonight?" Thomas said while smirking at her. "Thomas, go to work. Stop flirting with my friend." July said. "Okay, fine. See you, pretty ladies." Thomas said then July rolled her eyes. After Thomas left to work, three of them headed to their locker to pickup a few books. "July, any news from Kenzie?" Gia asked. July shakes her head. Jess and Gia rubs her shoulder and assure her that Kenzie is okay. After they picked up a few books from their locker for their classes, suddenly Dereck approach them. "Hey, July." Dereck greets. "What do you want?" Gia ask. "I was wondering where is your boyfriend. He's been missing for practice these week. Is everything alright?" Dereck said as he leans against the locker. "He's sick." July said. "Sick? What is he having?" Dereck ask. "Injury." July answered. "Can we just go? If you wanna know more, why don't you ask him." Gia said annoyingly. "Injury on his right abdomen, isn't it?" Dereck said. July's eyes went wide. "How do you know about the injury?" July ask. "I don't know, just guessing." Dereck answers while chuckling. "What's funny about it? It's you right. You barged into my house and stab him! That's you, isn't it? You son of a bitch!" July said as she slapped him. Her slap and her loud voice makes everyone silent in the hallway. "July, july. Hey. Let's go, you don't wanna make a scene right? Let's go, let's go." Gia said as she brings July away from Dereck, Jess too. They walked away from Dereck.
