Rochester Mansion,
"Good evening, Lady Sarah." One maid brings a glass of warm milk for her. It's her daily routine before she went to bed to drink the warm milk. They say it's good to get a good sleep and good for skin too.
"Put it there." She said without looking at the maid who brings it. She's been busy looking at the new collection of the ring from Tiffany & co. Thinking either she wants to custom made it or just pick any suitable ring for her.
The catalog has been sent from the L corp office for Caitlin to choose her engagement ring. However, since Caitlin didn't mind changing the place with Sarah, everything about the engagement will follow her taste.
Her eyes sparkle, looking at another catalog, which is exclusively for a set of jewelry. When she's with Raymond, he doesn't care at all about this. He didn't bother to ask her what she's like or let her choose.
Everything has been pass to his mother, Barbara, and she could only pick anything that they both agree. Even though it's supposed to be her 'day' and not that old woman ' day.'
"Hmm~since you're rich. How about I pick the most valuable collection? You won't know if this is for me anyway.." Sarah giggles and mark the page. After she's done, she took the warm milk on the coffee table and drank it.
Looked at the clock, she sighs. It's already 11:30 p.m.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Sarah flinches a bit. She squinted her eyes, looking at the clock. 'Since when did this clock have a bell?' she walks closer to the clock, and suddenly she saw an image of someone wearing the same dress as Luna when she kills her that night.
She gasps and turns around her back. There's no one, and when she turn back to look at the clock glass, there's nothing like she saw earlier. She rubs her forehead. Thinking that maybe she's been too tired these past few days.
She went to her bed and turned off her night lamp. She's tired, but she feels so hard to fall asleep, her mind keeps thinking about the clock and the image she saw earlier. If she's not wrong, the time she kills Luna at that night is around the same as her clock dinging.
When she still staring at the ceiling, suddenly her closet room lamp flickering, and she heard a thudding sound from inside it. She grips her finger on her blanket tightly, looking at the surrounding her. "What the-"
"Ahhhh!!!" She's shrieking when she feels something cold like a cold hand touch her feet from under the blanket.
Bam! The door being opened by her dad in a rush. Behind the man is her mother, who also looked a bit shocked.
"What? What happens?" Stephen asks and turns on the light switch.
Trembling, she said, "T-t-there…there's something-" She pointing her finger on her feet under the blanket. Still scared to move from her bed.
Without waiting, Stephen flipped the blanket and saw nothing's there. Then Sarah's face turns pale. "The closet room light! It's- It's flickering earlier."
Stephen went to the closet room and checked the lamp. "There's nothing wrong with it. Are you sure you're not high, Sarah?" He asked with a cold voice. "Is this a prank?"
"Y-yes…No! No! Father...I didn't lie. There's someone here."
"Sarah, did you watch a horror movie before you go to sleep?" Elanor takes the turn to ask her. It's not like Sarah to frightened over a simple thing.
"No! Mother, I didn't lie."
Sighing, they both shake their head. "Just go to sleep. If you shriek again, I'll set someone to guard on your door. And don't even dare to pull a prank. I don't like it. Do you understand?" Stephen said, and both of them leave her room after that.
Trembling, Sarah looked around her bedroom. She was sure someone touches her feet and play with her closet room light before. Because of she still afraid, she let the light on while she try to sleep. Her heartbeat seems can't stop pounding so hard. She starts to sweat a bit even though her room temperature is set on the minimum.
Thirty minutes after, she fell asleep. But not a deep sleep as she could still feel her bed is dipped. Like someone lay beside her. Her cold sweat starts to formed again on her forehead. Slowly and faintly, she could hear a rustling sound where she feels so cold around her feet and torso.
Someone has pulled her blanket. She squeezes her eyes in trembling. Hoping that's all a dream. "Do you think I'll let you live happily after killing me? Hee….."
Drip!
Sarah immediately jolts her body and sit up from the bed. When she turned around, she saw no one in her room. Her heartbeat quicken and she touch on her cheek where something slimy drop from the ceiling before.
Upon seeing the red slimy and stinky smell like rotten blood meat, she immediately runs to the bathroom and pukes all her content.
"Bluerghhh!!"
"Hah! Hah! Bluerghhhh!"
She's panting. And for the whole night, she spends sleeping on the bathroom floor. She couldn't get rid of the smell of that blood, and she couldn't even sleep a wink at all.
The word that is said to her keeps haunting her mind. She was sure that is Luna's voice, and it sounds so eerie. Like she wants to avenge her even though she's already dead.
Bzzz! Bzzz!
She slowly took her phone and saw a notification for today's activities. She had to go for fitting her dress, and for that, she had to invite Caitlin as a cover.
She taps on the keypad and sends a text to Caitlin to meet up today. Staggering, she stands up and looks her face in the mirror. She looks horrible. With the dark circle below her eyes, her messy hair and pale skin.
She just looks like a crazy person. After done washing her face, she walks out to her bedroom, and again she gasped. There's a bloodstain that looks like someone laying on her bed and was injured on the chest.
"Urp!" She runs back to the bathroom. The smell fills the whole bedroom, and not long after, her door room was fling opened by her father.
"What in the world is this??" He roars when he saw the bloodstain on the bed, and the smell has been disturbing the whole house since this morning.
The maid has been searching for the rotten smell source and couldn't find it until the last room they haven't check is Sarah's bedroom.
"Honey, someone must be pulling a prank on our daughter-"
"Prank??!! Who else in this room unless her? And she's been pranking us since yesterday night!"
Elanor turned silent. It's true. They saw Sarah enter their room and turn off the air-conditioner, and she also makes a mess in the hallway by crashing the flower vase and laughing while doing it.
They thought that Sarah was just unhappy, but seeing today's incident, Stephen can't just let her do as she please again.
"Dad…I don't know-"
Pap!
"Pack your thing and stay out of this mansion. Clear your head until the engagement day, and don't you dare to humiliate me!"
Both daughter and mother gulped, hearing what Stephen has just said.
"Stephen, what is wrong with you? Can't you see Sarah's sick." Elanor touch Sarah's cheek. She can see Sarah look terrible. She wonders what did Wayne does to her daughter to make her daughter like this.
"Sick? Huh…all she does all day is lazying around and she's sick now? Good, get out of this house, and seek a doctor! If you dare to pull a prank again, I'll slap you harder!" He huffed and left the room.
He can't sleep at all last night because of her and resulting in him to get high blood pressure. Of course, he'd lose his control early in the morning.
