It's a Stormy Cloudy Night. Four friends in the car are on a Long Trip enjoying the Weekend. Daniel who is a gentleman, a businessman, was in the '20s and one of the billionaires of the city is Driving the Car and is feeling uncomfortable asking his friend to come to his Place. He is sick he exits the car for fresh Air and They are in a Market his Friends are Buying some snacks for their Trip. Daniel was walking and he reaches a distant place. There was a big Mansion and it looked like no one lives here. He heard that someone was screaming for help from the mansion. He realized it was the voice of a girl. Daniel looks up to the window and the girl was getting tortured by a guy in the Mask. She was screaming and was helpless.

Daniel looks up and tries to somehow get up and help the girl out. He sees a Pipe and he tries to climb but he miserably fails and gets himself in pain. He saw the door opened and he gets into the mansion. It was big and he was finding where the room was. He went upstairs and started finding the room. There were a lot of rooms.

Daniel somehow finds the room in which the girl was screaming and he opens the door. Someone Unknown with the Rob Mask exits from the balcony and jumped on the floor and ran away. Daniel saw the girl and the girl was of average height, had Long hair, beautiful green eyes and had a slim body. Daniel asks

Daniel: What Happened?

The girl was shivering and was trying to speak but it looked like fear was stopping her to talk. She was terrified. There was a gun next to the girl where she was standing. The girl started crying. 

Daniel: What happened? (asked again)

Girl: The guy in the mask was my brother. He was trying to kill me.

Daniel: I heard you screaming.

Girl: Thanks for coming.

Daniel: I'm Daniel. Who are you?

Anastasia: I'm Anastasia.

Daniel: Where are your parents?

Anastasia: My brother killed my parents. 

Daniel: How can he do that?

Anastasia: He was adopted.

Daniel: Oh that's so bad. How will you live here should I call the police?

Anastasia: No No No No please, can you stay here?

Daniel: Yes I can but...

Anastasia: Please...

Daniel called his friends that he's not coming without telling any reason and he stays with Anastasia in her home. It was MIDNIGHT Daniel was staying in the room with Anastasia. Daniel was sleeping on the mattress on the floor. Anastasia was a bit uncomfortable with a stranger whom she met just a few minutes ago. She started crying and tried to stop herself. She was crying and her whole body was shivering with terror. Daniel sat on the bed and looked at her and said...

Daniel: What Happened?

Anastasia: Nothing Sorry (while crying).

Daniel: Please tell me. you can trust me. 

Anastasia: I was feeling a bit scared. If he comes again (while crying).

Daniel: I'm with you. Nobody will touch you, Anastasia.

Anastasia: You can call me Ana.

Daniel: Try to sleep, Ana. I'm with you trust me.

Anastasia: I trust you But I'm feeling pain in my burns.

Daniel: Ana show me what's there.

Anastasia Rolls up her sleeves and there were marks like it was burned. The burns were almost everywhere on her arms. Daniel was shocked after looking at them. 

Daniel: How it happened?

Anastasia: My brother Alex did it. He tried different metallic things on me after heating them.

Daniel: Wait I'm going out to get some paste for your burns.

Anastasia: I have the paste in my closet. 

Daniel: Yeah got it.

Anastasia: Okay so it's almost everywhere on my body.

Daniel: Okay, I'll help you with your arms and your legs. After that, you can help yourself I'll stay outside the room.

Daniel helps her, applied the paste to the burns on her arms and legs after he left the room. Anastasia tried to help herself but she couldn't even remove her shirt but she tried because she can't ask a stranger to help her with the clothes but when she felt more helpless she called Daniel.

Anastasia: Daniel (asks for help)

Daniel: Hey is there a problem?

Anastasia: Can you please help me with the clothes?

Daniel entered the room and was feeling strange but he still helped Anastasia removing the clothes. He applied the paste to the burns. The burns were on her back and her front side. He saw the word Blood making from the burns. He felt strange and was not staring because She was naked. The burns were covering most of the body of Anastasia. After that, he helped her wear the clothes. Anastasia felt comfortable and she was feeling better after her pain was gone.

Anastasia: Thanks, Daniel

Daniel: You can call me Dan. No problem I hope you were okay with that.

Anastasia: It was the first time I felt comfortable with anyone.

Daniel: Are you feeling better?

Anastasia: Yes.

Daniel: I hope you are not feeling the pain you felt before.

Anastasia: Yes Dan I'm feeling better and most of the pain is gone. If you were not here I don't know what would've happened.

Daniel: Ana, Now try to take some rest because you need it.

Anastasia: Good Night Dan.

Daniel: Good Dawn Ana!!

Both laughed because it was 4, almost dawn time.  After that, they slept peacefully. The two strangers felt comfortable. They just met a few hours ago and they were comfortable like they know each other for years. Anastasia was feeling comfortable with someone whom she didn't even know. Maybe it's called Love. Maybe it's the feeling that we get when we are in love. Maybe the way Daniel was caring for Anastasia looked like It was "Love at first sight" and the way Anastasia was not feeling ashamed after being naked in front of a stranger Maybe she fell in love because of the care of a stranger. 

As Muhammad Ahmad says,

 "Love is strange and is found in strangers"

The question was why the word Blood was written on her body? Alex burned Anastasia's body to make the word Blood? maybe it was a line Daniel couldn't read?
