"What are you saying? Get the hell out of my sight. I know you are not real. Stop playing tricks on me."

I somehow managed to get on my feet and ran inside

I somehow managed to get on my feet and ran inside.

"Emrin? Where were you? Are you ok man?"

"He looks pale and fragile. I'll get some water."

"I- Where is Jeremy, Mark?"

"Jer- Jeremy?" Joseph hesitated.

"Yeah. Jeremy. Let me just call him."

To my surprise, I couldn't find his number nor his calls and texts that we had when I was with my mom.

"What nonsense? What kind of sick joke this is?"

I left the club to leave for my home, whilst my friends kept asking me to wait

I left the club to leave for my home, whilst my friends kept asking me to wait.

The another shock I got was, when I saw my furniture covered in dust, and the spider- webbed walls. The room Jeremy was staying in looks untouched for an year, nor can I find his belongings.

"Emrin. What's wrong? You scared us all."

"Ana, I swear Jeremy was with me all these days. He- He can't be dead."

"Ok breathe, breathe."

"I-"

"Hush! Emrin. We all are with you."

"Yeah, man. Lay down for a while."

It was all a lot to take in. I laid on my bed and I don't remember when I fell asleep. I guess my brain needed some rest after massive shock I received last night.

"You're awake. Here, I made a cup of coffee, you'll feel better."

         "Th- Thanks, Ana

"Th- Thanks, Ana. Where are others?"

"They had to leave for some important work, they've asked me to look after you and keep updating them."

"Th- Thank you."

I was hoping everything I saw last night to turn out to be some dream, but when I saw Ana it reminded gave me a reality check.

"H- How did Jeremy die?"

          "I know it's hard for you," she sighed, " do you remember the night when you bought the ring to ask Delanay to marry you?"

"NO. Nothing happened like that. Delanay is alive. You didn't even reach there."

As soon as she said that, I saw weird flashes. It was all in pieces, but the solid memory I got was me touching the floor only to get my fingers painted with warm viscous blood.

And what's scary is that I feel like I have witnessed the same feeling of blood twice. Once on the night of murder and second time in- in the Leviathian Temple.

*Door bell rings*

"I'll get it Emrin."

"Delanay? Oh! Parker is here too."

"P- Parker?" I was shocked.

          "P- Parker?" I was shocked
