"Grandma if that's you and that's my mother, who's the little girl that you're carrying."
"Oh her, she died sadly. Died of being kind just to get betrayal, from her own kin."
"What's ki-"
"Enough of your silly questions my darling it's time to sleep."
"Yes grandma." As I began to climb the stairs,taking one last look at the painting, it seemed as water came down right under the eye of the mysterious toddler.  I looked in the ceiling since there was a storm outside, but there was no leak in the roof.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
