Friday, 6th of August 2060, marks the day where her legacy and empire will be taken away. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, was the only sound that resonated through the silent mansion, where the soulless dweller was cocooned in her room. Under the silky covers that kissed her softly skin, laid the last heir of her disappeared, yet to be confirmed murdered family. Her arms were crossed touching her shoulders, her eyes were twitching as if she was witnessing a horrifying nightmare, lips were shivering, partly opened or sometimes closed, marked as if she was pleading for her life. Whimpering and shaking as she was trying to survive the endless chaos that dwelled within her mind.

With each passing minute, her body shifted from left to right. With each second, her soul shivers as if she was electrified by lightning. Every inch on her screams for help, every sweat that comes from her body indicates her enduring agony, as every whimper that escapes her lips were full of pain. Time has passed, as the latter still suffers. The guardian angel, who's sleeping next to her, suddenly awake as the clock hits 3 am. Gasping for air, she sat up and looked at the clock afraid that she overslept and the trial was over. With a sigh of relief, she drunk the water, and lay down again, only to be shocked by the person who's been shivering endlessly, dying for her help.

-With widened eyes and flinched heart, her hand slowly made its way towards her cheek, as her body was getting closer to her back. "Freen" she whispered softly "everything is going to be alright..I'm here for you...don't be afraid" Such words made Freen's body to calm for a bit, but that did not stop her from uttering names that she misses dearly. Nita wasn't able to return back to sleep, as Freen's shifting were not normal. She kept turning around in every minute, she kept calling names as if she was in distress. "m-mom..d..d..dad...S-Song" she whispered stutteringly "d..don't..go...t-take..m-me....with..you" Nita sighed and cupped her cheeks, as she tried to wake her up gently. She slowly started caressing her swollen cheeks, until suddenly her eyes began to outpouring like a thunder storm that just hit the city.

-Worried she was the moment Freen, yelled those name in panic. Nita's eyes widened again, as she placed her hand on her arm, and called her out. "Freen!" she whispered fearfully "please wake up..this is a dream Freen..wake up honey" Freen's lips were twitching, her hand suddenly grabbed Nita's as she held it to tight. Nita was startled, yet she kept on waking her up. Freen was not responding to her words, yet her body finally calmed down. She remained holding Nita's hand, while the latter was looking at her worryingly. She truly wanted her to rest, but it seems that her mind was torching her in ever corner she look at it. With a sadden smile, looking at her snoring friend, memories of days passed manifested within her mind.

It was two days ago, when she suddenly awakened from a miserable dream. Gasping for breath, she sat up contemplating how did she ended up sleeping. She was suffering prior that day, debating whether to tell Freen about Rebecca or not, as the last thing that she remembers, was Rebecca's desperate tone echoing within her ears. She glanced at the clock, only to be shocked it's was around 9 am. As such, she rushed towards the restroom to freshen up, knowing that Freen might still be with her uncle, and the situation could end up badly. She exited the room, as she walked slowly downstairs. She didn't want to disturb the meeting nor eavesdrop, she only wanted to be there if needed.

-She walked closer to the study, as suddenly her breath hitched frighteningly. "Freen!" she called out, slowly pushing the door. Her eyes fell on the person who's crying hysterically on the floor. Rushed like her life depends on her, trembled with her steps as the scattered books and papers stumbled upon her feet. She slid on her knees as she embraced her tightly. "Freen! What happened!" she exclaimed shockingly, while she pulled her away looking at her face "Freen!..did he hurt you!...p-please what hap-" Freen snarled and held her collar shirt "NITA!..HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!" she yelled at the top of her lungs "I FAILED HIM!...I FAILED EVERYONE!..WHY THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME WITH THEM!...WHY DID THEY LEFT ME ALONE..NITA WHY!"
