I sighed as I threw yet another book away.

Though, hours have passed I have found nothing on the red-purple flower I found a few days ago. The librarian never even heard of that type of flower. I'm starting to wonder if the search will be fruit-less after all. I slammed my head on the table out of frustration.

''H-Hey!'' A stammering voice broke me out of my train of thought. I saw a blonde girl with thick, square glasses looking at me with a mix mixed expression of anger and disappointment.

''Y-You're not the o-only one h-here!'' she continued stuttering now her anger being replaced by her being scared. She held her book up higher so it covered her mouth.

I stood and she immediately hid her whole face behind her book ''Eeek!'' and continued shaking even more.

I'm I intimidating?

''Look, I'm not going to hurt you.'' I scratched my head ''I'm sorry for making so much noise.''

She let the the book down, still shaking she nodded her head ''O-Okay, b-but can you l-leave? You have been h-here the w-whole night!''

I glanced out of the window and signed once again. ''You're right, I'll leave. Sorry for bothering you ''

She nodded and ran behind her desk. I walked out of the door quickly, if I stayed longer I might have gave a heart attack.

I opened the door of the library and a wave of cold hit my face. Shit, I forgot how cold early morning can be. I put up my arm, shielding my face from the cold and stepped outside. I got onto the stone path, still fighting against the wind I headed towards my house, I heard my scarf fly around like crazy, accidentally I let go of my scarf (which I was holding onto with my another hand) and it flew away. I quickly turned around to catch it but it was already flying away into the night. Only a red spot of it left a few seconds later.

I stared at the morning sky which swallowed my neck-wear and glared. I was about to leave out a string of swears before something cold touched my nose, then my ear, then my hand, my eyes widened as I saw the sky falling down with white. Snow. I'm not surprised, it was November. Snow would start eventually.

Before I knew it the stone path was slowly being covered in snow while shoulders became heavy for the same reasons. I chuckled and wiped off the snow of my shoulders. I spun around and continued walking to my house, just now with lighter steps.

Turning a corner, I gotten to my house, I went up to the door and leaned for the doorknob. Before I even touched it I stiffened,

A cry could be heard. From the inside of my house.

I blinked, did I hear right? A cry?

I shook my head and opened the door anyways, It must have been the wind. I stepped inside the house, it was pitch-black. Well, that would be expected. I swiftly found my desk and lit the lantern that was sitting on it. Immediately a warm light illuminated the room. I grinned and turned around expecting to find my usual room.

Something was sitting on my bed. Or someone.

I froze in place my heart beating rapidly, a girl was sitting her legs crossed. Long snow white hair falling across her shoulders while covering her face, she was wearing a white dress to her knees. She was extremely pale. She was white. Like the snow outside.

She raised her head, her head falling away from her face. She didn't have a face, instead there was a hole filled with white flowers where it suppose to be. Lilies' I recognise them.

My hand regains motion and I reach for the lantern I just used, I grab the handle and without thinking I throw at her. It goes right through her and it hits the wall. The glass breaks and it collapse on the floor, the fire gets out and ignites the bed covers. The girl still remains.

Right before my eyes the fire spreads and spreads burning my work the walls, the floorboards. Everything.

I run towards the door and attempt to open it. Its locked, I step back terrified, I hit something behind me. I hesitantly look around.

A/N Do you know that Lilies represent death? That Annabelle Hydranga's mean Vanity?
