"Rosamylia! My dear , run, don't look back! Just run! I will find you later!, I am so sorry , forgive me"

Amy ran fast she was exhausted and tired , blood all over her dress , she was holding a crystal sword shining every time the light touch it. She runs until she saw a light shining through a door right front of her, when she reached to get out of this darkness , a man grasped her arm firmly from that door, a man with a very good looking dark red suit , Amy couldn't recognize his face because the light was shining from behind him. She tried to break free from his grasp but he takes out a knife , then he stabbed her heart!

12:30 am, midnight.

Victoria woke up as she heard Amy's screaming, she runs , as Vincent raced and reached first , he opened the door "Amy!!", he went to her and hugged her , she hardly breathed , she gradually felt her father's figure near her. right front of her. Then she finally stopped shouting hugging her fathers back, "its ok girl, I am here.. you are ok now" he murmured. He didn't notice what was he doing while hugging Amy and trying to calm her down, Victoria came and touched Amy's other hand gently , then Amy finally talked "he was right.. there, he.. stabbed me.. right through my heart! I—" , he looked at her shaking hands "shhh, it's all gone, you are fine now, he will never be here again, ook? I will stay here" he said , Amy cried a little leaning her head on her father's shoulder, he kept patting her head to calm her down.

Amy was struggling to forget the man who stabbed her, leaning to Vincent's shoulder trying to close her eyes , "dear Amy, come on drink this soup, it will make you feel better." Victoria hands "I will feed her , go back to sleep Victoria." He said , Victoria got confused of how Vincent got soft now. That wasn't Vincent just now..

"but I can do it by myself." Said Amy with weak voice, "no, your hands still shaking " he answered , Amy looked at her hand and sighed , Vincent fed her the soup , making sure she swallow it, she only accepts to drink two spoons from the soup, then she refuses. Then Vincent told her to exhale and inhale , to push away the anxious , "why would this come to me like that , I mean why now?" she murmured , Vincent looked at her knowing something, knowing the day of her birthday could be the worst for her. Then She slept.

Amy woke up hearing her phone's alarm , she closed it and looked to the other side to find Vincent was still there, working on some papers. "good morning father.." she said , "good morning Rosamylia, did you get enough rest?" he answered. "I guess I did, I kind of feeling a little lazy , but don't worry I will take a shower then I will be just fine." Said Amy smiling. Vincent nodded and gathered his paper and went downstairs.

As soon as he left Amy quickly went to the bathroom!

Victoria made for Vincent his favorite black coffee, "how is she doing?" Victoria asked , "she is fine, she will be ready in time." Vincent answered, "you know that we cant hide the truth , Vincent.. she isn't what you think." Victoria said , "I know, I am trying my best Victoria, I will try and talk to her after the school." Vincent was annoyed of what Victoria just mentioned. He has a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

"I really hope she wouldn't hate us.."

Victoria thoughts.
