Chapter 87: Heart To Heart
Rory waited for Liam’s return holding back her tears. But he was not returning for a long time.
Filled with impatience and disappointment, she leaned back on the bed patting Ellie who was on her shoulder. Ellie fell asleep and so did she.
But she had disturbed sleep.
In her dream, she was lying on the bed. She couldn’t see that she was tied, but she could not move an inch. It was dark around and her chest was heavy. It was hard for her to breathe.
The window was in front of her and through the curtains, she saw a bald figure trying to get inside the room. The knocking sound on the window was terrifying.
"Help!" She tried to scream, but she couldn’t.
Helplessly, she stared at the window. Oddly, there was no door in that dark room, only a window. The dark creature trying to get her calling her "little rose".
She heard something break. And there were shiny pieces of broken glass inside the room. She gasped for air as she saw thin boney fingers with long black nails reach in, tearing the drapes. She screamed at the top of her lungs, but no sound came out.
Someone...help me!

In the hallway, Liam ended the call. His eyes still weren’t clear as he was wondering if he made the right decision. He closed his eyes and Rory’s smiling face came to his mind.
Even in that dark, even when they were running for their lives, she could smile and there was only one reason behind that smile.
