"So what do you want from me?" She asked. I looked around and I found her sitting under the maple tree. "You really like it here." I said then I sat down beside her. She's wearing a red plain dress with flowers at the back. Her silver eyes illuminate from the reflection of the sun. You can see the purity and strength from it. Her long silver hair was perfectly beautiful. "I'm sorry if I forgot about you. You were right. I was scared and a coward. But I want to make it right. I want to remember. I want to remember Sophie and Percy. Our memories together with them. And I want to remember Luke. Our first meeting. Our first engagement. I want to know what I felt about him when we were young. I can't do that if you will stay here. If you won't help me, I won't be able to pull you out from the darkness either." It's awkward to talk to my other self but I know this

Peggy, Emily, Nina, Sophie and I went to the garden to have some tea. We were all thinking about Dr. Richards said. I looked at my friends and somehow, I feel glad they're here at the same time worried to get them involved with my problem. "I'm sorry if you got caught with my problem. It's fine if you won't come with us anymore. I don't want you to get involved any further." "Are you insane? Didn't you hear what Dr. Richards said earlier? We have to support you, it'll help you. Alora we're friends. We know the risks. Honestly, I'm scared of your younger self. I'm scared of what lies behind those memories of yours, but I also wanted to know what happened. We'll stay with you no matter what, so you won't lose yourself." I was touched with what Emily said. My tears suddenly fell. I was keeping it from falling since this morning. They all stood up and embraced me. "Thank you! I'm so lucky to have you guys." ******************************************

It was quiet and dark. I was still holding her hand but I couldn't see her. It's pitch black. It stinks. It's the smell of blood. I know where we are now. It's the cabin. This was when I let Alora escape. I was brought to the other room separated from Percy and Sophie. My eyes were blindfolded so I could only hear the voices of our captors. My hands were tied above my head and I was in a standing position. They tore my clothes off, leaving only my underwear. They tortured me after Alora's disappearance. They've been asking me where she went but I never spoke. My whole body is in pain. I can smell the blood coming from my back. They whipped me 30 times already. Yes. I've been counting it. I wish Alora got away far from here. They never gave me food or water for a day now. I'm still thinking about Alora. Did she escape? Did she ask for help? Is she safe?

LUKE POV "So what do you think? Do you think I should tell her?" I asked. "Hmm maybe you can tell her once we found something about that woman." Percy suggested. "I agree. I don't think telling the Ice Princess that she might be a murderer can help her now." I glared at Jayden. "Sometimes, I really want to punch you in the face!" I answered back with sarcasm. He smirked. "Let him be, Luke. The kid has a point you know." What Andrew said is true. Jayden is rude and has a bad-mouth but he always makes sense. "I know that. But his behavior is really annoying like Peggy." His face suddenly changed when he heard Peggy's name but I brushed it off.

I was talking to my mother when it suddenly went dark. Then I'm in front of the maple tree again. "Alora, have you talked to your father? Father told me. We'll get married after college. I'm so happy. The engagement is next week." Luke happily told the girl. The girl's eyes sparkled. "Yes. He told me this morning. We'll be together forever right?" She asked. "Definitely! I will never leave you! I will make you the happiest girl ever, I promise!" Then he opened his arms and she jumped into his embrace. "Alora, I love you." He blushed. Is this the first time he said those words to me? She was surprised and her cheeks went red. "Luke, I -" "You don't need to answer me now. I wi
