I was at the park around 1:45 pm. Of course I nead to be earlier than the time I said. I walk around. I'm trying to find Mia's mom. I kept looking around. Then I saw a woman in a red shirt and black pants. She seems to be looking for someone too. So I thought that it ws her.

"Umm.... Excuse me... Are you Cecilia Loxley?" I asked her

"Yes. You must be Zia right?" She said

"Yes" I answered

"Now what do you want to tell?" She said

"How about we sit down first?"

We sat down on the bench at the park. The wind hit my face. I can hear the kids laughing and playing. What a view!

"So.... your daughter is dead, right?" I asked.

"Yes"

"I'm her"

"What do you mean 'I'm her'?" She asked

"For four nights, I was dreaming of her. She is with her friends at the carnival. Her wallet. The forest. How she was murder and all." I said and she started crying.

"On my fourth dream, I was her. I was the one killed. And on my exact birthday, everything happened the same to me. But this time, I didn't die. Because she was there. She saved me. She stopped the killer from killing me. And she explained why." I continued. And she continued crying also

"We are just the same person. She died on the exact time and date that I was born, I had a birthmark on where she was stabbed." I said and lifted up my shirt to show her my birthmark.

"Oh Mia!" She said and cried harder

"My poor daughter!"

"She's okay. Now that the timed killer is caught, I'm sure she's happy and she's restibg in peace now." I tried to comfort her

"Okay, okay" she said while wiping her tears away

"Can I ask you something?" She said

"Sure. What is it?" I asked

"Can I hug. You really remind me of my daughter and I miss her so much."

"Of course!" I hugged her

"Here is my number. Call me whenever." I handed her a paper with my number on it.

"Oh! I nearly forgot. I wa about to give you something!" I said and handed her Mia's wallet

"Mi-Mia's wallet?" She said

"Yes. I found it. And I have the same one too!" I answered

"Do you want to go to where Mia is buried?" She asked me

"Yes please" I said

We left the park and bought some flowers. We went straight to the cemetery. I saw Mia's tomb. Mialina Loxley December 11, 1984 - December 11, 2001.

I kneeled down and put the flowers down. I light up a candle and pray.

"Thank you so much!" I said
