INCIDENT

We just came from the teacher's office to get a guide to find our room. Obviously, elisa and I were walking around to find our room.

We will take the same course.

“This university is sooo freaking big. My foot can't handle it.” She complained.

“If you want to enroll, bear it.” I said.

She glance at me with annoyance and rolled her eye's.

“Okay, okay. Tsh. You can just pretend to be worried about me.” She added.

I step closer to her and put my arm around her. “Silly.” I said.

“Hey Elvira. That's the room number 081, right?” She asked as she pointed out the room that we're looking for.

I nodded and I quickened my walk.

“Wait for me!” Elisa shouted.

After we entered inside, there's a lot of students who are lining to enroll.

We looked for an vacant seat to sit. 

“Let's sit here.” She said and pull my hand.

I looked around, memorizing the room.

After the long long wait, it's our turn now.

We just simply fill up the documents that needed and then they started the meeting with all the students.

They discussed about the rule here and they'd guided us.

“This university is amazing. From design of the floor, countless of room and buildings. Wow. It's worth it.” Elisa whispered.

I agreed. This place are higher than my expectations. The teachers are so professional when it comes to guiding their students. 

“Just thank me. If I don't enroll here, I'm sure you won't study at this beautiful university because I'm not here HAHA.” I joked while laughing.

She smiled and hugged me. “Then thank youu! would you please treat me later? please my gorgeous elviraa?” She said.

I shook my head.

This girl!

“Oh. What a meanie. Pleaseee?” She plead and did the puppy eye's effect.

“I still have my savings here so I—” She jumped because of excitement and did hugged me again.

I still haven't agreed but.. whatever.

“Thank you again! Next time, it will be my treat!” She stated.

“Okay. Okay. Stop hugging me. My documents will crease.” I said.

I actually brought my documents like birth certificate, card, and other important info.

It was just copied earlier when I enrolled and was also returned to me.

So I carried it carefully. 

Oh. How about I ask Elisa if her parents already move out?

“Elisa, have your parents left?” I ask.

She look at me and shook her head. “Not yet. They will be moving out to Brazil on next week.” She replied.

I slowly nodded my head. 

She's close with her parents so it must be hard for her to be left alone.

“How about you Elvira? It's been a while since I saw you go to your parents house? When will you visit them?” She asked back.

When? I Don't know.

“When I had a free time.” I answered.

Elisa knew how my parents treated me. And how they favored a lot my younger sister, Zyrah more than me.

I'm 6 year's older than her.

“I—” I didn't finish what I was going to say when I collided with someone.

I immediately knelt down to pick up my documents after it fell.

“I, I'm sorry.” The guy apologized and did help me pick up my things.

I stood up and took my other documents which he held.

I don't want to assume things but I feel like he slightly touch my hand when he handed me my documents.

“It's okay. Just be careful next time.” I said awkwardly.

“Let's go Elisa.” I said and was going to pass him but I stopped when he grabbed my other arm.

What's wrong with him?

I faced him with confusion on my face. 

“What?” I asked.

“Is the item in your pocket yours?” He questioned.

The pencil?

I reached into my pocket the pencil before I spoke while staring at him in doubtful. 

“No. The old lady I saw earlier left it, I would have taken it back with her but she suddenly disappeared. Why did you ask?” I replied.

Still staring at him, observing him.

“May I take a look?” He added.

I feel uncomfortable with this guy. He's making it so obvious that he is strange.

How did he know that there was a pencil inside my pocket?

This person is weirdo. It's better to not talk to him.

“I'm sorry but my friend and I have something else to do.” I said and grabbed Elisa's hand.

The guy was going to say something more but I quickened my walk.

“Hey Elvira, I find that guy weird.” She said.

“I also think the same.” I stated.

“What a waste. If he's not like that, I will likely fall for him.” She uttered.

I glance at her.

“What?” 

“Admit it gurl! He's a good-looking man! From head to toe, he's so perfect!—” I covered her mouth.

This woman! Seriously!

“Can you please lower your voice? What if that weirdo are still somewhere and hear that?” I whispered.

She removed my hand from her mouth. “Fine, fine.” She nodded.

“You should not easily deceived by his look. Don't fall for someone you just met.” I mentioned.

“I'll take it as your advice.” She agreed.

I stopped at the bus station for us to set off.

“I'm going now.” I said and wave my hand.

“Okay. I'll text you if I got home.” She said.

I nodded and took my seat inside the bus.

Just like I said, I was going to church to greet sister bella and others sister's.

I checked the time and it was 1 pm.

I tilt my head and shut my both eye's to take a nap.

I feel exhausted.

AFTER THE TRIP, I got off the bus and went to the front of the church.

Nothing has changed in this church. This place is still peaceful.

I heard the sound of the bell which meant the mass was about to begin.

I entered inside and find my seat.

“I hope everyone is here to join the mass to celebrate the day of the almighty lord. Please stand properly and let's close our eyes for the opening prayer.”

After it ended, I looked for sister bella.

“Sister bella!” I called her and she immediately glance at me.

She smiled and ran into me.

“I missed you Elvira!” She said and hugged me.

“HAHA. I visited here last week, right?” I chuckled.

We took a walk together and we talked a lot.

“Ahm Sister bella, can I ask for your advice?” I changed the topic.

I actually planned to seek some advice about that nightmare. I want to forget it after I heard her advice. 

She's the only person I trust the most overall.

“Sure Elvira. What is it?” She asked.

“A, about my dream last night.” I mentioned.

She looked at me. She look so worried.

“What happened?” She asked.

“I don't know how I'm going to explain this but that dreams is strange and somehow, I feel like it's real. Sister Bella, what should I do to forget that dream?” I started.

“First, let's sit.” she said and sat.

I did the same.

“How does you say that your dream is strange? can you tell me everything you saw?” she requested.

I nodded. “In my dream, the time there and surroundings does not match. I remember, I looked at the time then, it was morning. But what surprised me is that, it was dark outside. I also don’t know why 1672 was the year set in my phone there.” 

I saw how sister bella look so serious, listening to me.

“1672?” she asked.

“Yes.” I bobbed up to down my head. “There was also a guy in my dream. He's wearing a black jacket and a cap that's why I can't identify his look. He said a lot of strange words such as calling me as his woman and that 'name'.” I continued.

“Name?”

“Yes. It was ELMIRA.” I replied.

Sister bella suddenly looked in the other direction and fear drew on her face.

“A, actually, you're not the only one who experience that.” She said.

What?

“There's a lot of young women have also come here to seek for advice about their strange dream. And everything you said, had made no difference from them. They all look so exhausted, and you can tell that they're having a sleepless night because of their dreams. They'd said that they choose not to sleep so that they cannot dream any of that.” She uttered.

So I'm not the only one?

“So Elvira, be careful. I don't want to say this but there's a possibility that you will experience again that nightmare.” She said and held my hand tightly.

But how will I stopped that nightmare? 

“You probably wondering how will you solve that but I don't know how. There are many new things happening in this world and reported countless of deaths. They say, vampire is the reason behind of those murdering because of the bites found on the corpses. But I hope that is not true. Because the thing that created by god and the thing that created by evil can never coexist in the same world.” She added.

I'm speechless. 

Out of all people here, why me? 

My attention went to my cellphone as it rang.

I looked at who was calling and it was Elisa's Mom.

I answered it. “Yes?”

I almost drop my phone as I listened to them.

“Elvira... Elisa was... hospitalized..”
