Chapter 1

9:00/Location:Lowen/Month:Dahlia/

Yawns. I woke up. I brushed my teeth, then greeted my father and the maid named bridget. Morning, i said. Morning Grey, bridget responded. My father... he was silent... he's always silent since that incident. I sat on the chair, as my father pushes his wooden wheelchair near the table opposite of me.

He took the newspaper off the side of the table, then opened it. I took one as well, then read mine. 12 murders during the few weeks. Due to unknown circumstances, they can't be identified because of strange mutilation practice on victims. ...What a strange way to start the day i thought. I turned a few pages--Knock! knock!.

I rested my newspaper and asked. Are you expecting someone audrey?. My sister shook her head. At least not today she replied. I walked up to the front door, then opened it. A young woman with long red hair. She is holding a basket with a green blanket covering the top.

Morning Grey! she said. Morning too you too lucy. She stared at me for a bit, but shook her head--her smile radiated of pure innocence. Here, i wanted to bring some food. She handed me the basket, as my hands were about to touch it, i ended up feeling her soft hand. Bam! The basket fell on the floor, breads, apples, and carrots kissed the floor. Ah! Sorry Grey, i waved my hands to assure her. Ah don't worry, i will dust it off since it looks new, which is good, i thank you. Her cheeks turned red as she quickly turned away.

While facing the other direction she spoke quietly under her breath. Umm... are you ok lucy? i asked. Her eyes widen, then turned to face me. I, i am sorry for that, you see... ah nevermind---So how is your father and sister doing?. I let out a pleasant smile. They are doing fine. She sighed in relief, as if expecting something else?. Ah, sorry about the food, but next time it won't happen again. I waved my hands assuring her that it wasn't a big deal.

If that won't do, then how about we go out later? Honestly hearing that i didn't have words to describe the feeling, but i knew that my decision has to be now. Ah, I, Yes let's go out later. Strange... the room around me seems much more brighter now.
