DREAMS OF FAITH

Four

"- and what if the one who had hurt her is still in there and saw you? What will you do? I already to you that it's too dangerous to hang out in the middle of the forest. Who knows what had been lurking in there. Maybe it is made by  some wild animals looking for prey."

I sat there guiltily while Amelia is ranting about what happened earlier.

" Good thing Robert saw you and followed you".

" I'm sorry" I mumbled shamefully.

" Enough of this, let's just be thankful that she's okay and hope that the police officers found whoever and whatever did this."

The woman was still under observation as of now as she lost alot of blood and have multiple wounds.

Robert. The thought of Robert gives me goosebumps. I started doubting him. What is he doing in there in the first place? Carrying an axe with him.

If he followed me all the way there, why did he not showed himself to me? And I have been sitting near the river before that incident happened. Why did he wait for it to happened first before showing himself?

Doubt and suspicion filled my mind that I hadn't noticed that I was  already in front of the library. I  was about to open it when it opened from the inside.

A very startled Megan came in to my view.

"Hey" I smiled awkwardly.

Megan only nods and hurriedly walks away.

She's about my age but we are not close. It seems that Megan isolate herself with her own world. We both love  reading but whenever I start a conversation with her, she will either nods or shake her head or avoid me like a plague.

I sighed and entered the library. Books really makes me feel good. Some maybe find it suffocating but to me it is my haven.

Sonny is in the library playing chess. This guy is also weird just like her sister but at least he talks, a lot actually.

" Trying to defeat yourself again?" I chuckled.

"I'm bored, Megan doesn't want to play chess with me" he looked at me with bored expression.

" Nah, not me. I don't know how to play chess"

" Yeah yeah, how about cards?" He grins.

" I don't know any card game either". I laughed.

He gave me a deadpan look and sigh. " Okay okay, you are actually very cool. How about we watch a movie? I have a lot of new movies in my flash drive". he wagged his eyebrows.

"Umm, maybe later, I need to review this book and make three pages reaction paper". I said waving a thick book in front of him.

" Fine, later then". He nods and walks out of the room.

Megan and Sonny are twins but their attitude are very different from each other. Megan is shy and snob while Sonny is talkative and friendly.

Megan is a bookworm and she keeps only to herself while Sonny is very playful and he actually get bored a lot so he pesters anyone who comes to his way.

My thoughts wander back to the piece of paper I found between the book pages to my nightmare to the incident earlier.

I want to know something but I didn't know what I wanted to know. And that really irritates me to no end.

"No, let's watch an action movie" he grumbled.

"No, let's watch a romantic movie". Sonny groaned on what I said. "Perhaps, you 'force' us to watch a movie with you'.

Megan only nods and I can't help but grin ,looking at his defeated expression.

"Fine! Remind me not to 'force' you to watch a movie with me". He huffed.

"See? Boring. The girl cries alot. Seriously? Can she do something aside from crying?". Sonny kept on complaining throughout the movie.

I and Megan pretended not to hear anything and continued watching.

When the credits started to roll, Sonny actually storms out and it make me laugh even more. Megan gives me a small smile and politely nods to me before going somewhere.

I glanced around the entertainment room. This place is really big, different musical instruments can be found here.

I wasn't fond of playing any musical instrument simply because I couldn't play. Louis is the only one who can play in this house. I tried taking piano lesson with Louis but my courage only lasted for a few days.

I stood in front of the piano and touch it. It really look so elegant and it fascinates me.

My fingertips stops when I felt an uneven surface on the side of the piano.

I looked closely and saw a letter inscribed on it. A letter. Letter 'T'.
