The trees are dancing with the wind, today was a windy day indeed, but it is warm not cold or hot, just how the people like it.
Sitting on the rooftop edge while watching the people walking, talking, reading in the school's field. When he found the one he's been looking for, he smiled, the girl was chatting with her friends under the tree. He disappeared from the rooftop like no one sat on the edge before, and he appeared beside the tree, he leant his body to the tree and watched the girl for a while.
“Hey Elena, are you done with your research? “ The girl with the glasses asked, the said girl nodded and bite to her sandwich.
“Can I borrow your research? I need some guide, I don't know where to start” the girl with a wavy hair said.
“Of course” then Elena laugh and the said girl pout her lips
“Hey I think we should go” the girl with eyeglasses says then look up at the sky
“Yeah, Alisha is right, I think it's going to rain anytime soon "the girl with the wavy hair says , so the two of them clean their mess, but Elena is just looking at the sky thinking of many things
“I don't want to go home yet” Elena said, the two other girls shook their head
“You don't have a choice” Celine, the girl with the wavy hair said
“Yeah right, let's go” then Elena stood up and started to walk away and the other girls followed her
He walks past the two girls and walks beside Elena, who doesn't have any clue that he is following her.
When they finally arrived at the bus station, the two girls hop on the bus but they both look at Elena who's looking at them for the whole time.
“Are you coming?” Alisha asked, but Elena shook her head.
“I'm going to walk I don't want to go home yet,” she said, so the two girls nodded their heads and waved goodbye.
After the bus left, she sighs then started to walk home if she wanted to go home fast. She needs to enter the small alleyway and because the sky is getting darker, she doesn't have a choice but to choose the quick way or else her mother will be angry at her again.
The alleyway is so dark and smelly to the point that she would like to throw up, while ignoring the bad smell of the junk that are lying around the alleyway. She heard some footsteps following right behind her, but she ignored it thinking that it's just some person who wanted to take the shortcut too, but the thing is the footsteps were coming faster because of the creepy aura and creepy footsteps she runs until she came out of the alleyway.
Meanwhile, back in the alleyway, two people are strangling each other.
“You can't guard her forever she will die, she needs to die” the man strangling him said, but then the tables have turned, and now he is strangling him.
“I will do anything for her to stay alive, even if it costs my life” and he gripped his neck tighter until the body of the man started to crack like a glass, the skin turned black and started to burn, but that didn't stop the man from laughing.
“You are a fool, you don't know anything. You're wasting your time protecting that human, you will die in the end." then the man laughed again and turned into dust. He sighed and he appeared in Elena's room.
Seeing the girl peacefully sleeping in her bed makes him want to protect her more but because of the man earlier now he does have many questions running into his mind.
Is it worth it if he protects her? What can he get as an exchange for protecting her?
He shook his head, he shouldn't be thinking that way, it will be called a sin only for him. He sighed and sat in the chair right beside the girl's bed. Then he looked at the clock. It's 9 o'clock in the evening. The other days, Elena just watching some dramas on her laptop or read some novels, but today is different. Instead of doing those things, she is fast asleep without changing into her pajamas, he guessed that she was tired from running well who wouldn't be tired if you got lost from running it's actually a good thing that Elena grew up to this town.
But then she flinched while sleeping, and he thought it was nothing and then cold sweat beads started to form on her forehead, so he checked the air-condition temperature only to find out that the temperature was already cold, so why was she sweating?
He got startle because Elena bolted up to her bed and started to wipe her forehead with her hands, she just sat there and stared at her peach color wall
An hour has pass and someone knocks at her door.
“Elena, are you awake? “ Her mother asked she sighed and then went to open the door.
“I'm awake mom” and her mother smiled at her and gestures to come with her. They sat on the couch in the living room where her father was drinking coffee.
“I'm sorry if we're going to discuss this in the evening even if it's already late, but I wanted to know what are your plans for tomorrow? “ Her mother asked her smoothly.
“Tomorrow ? I don't have any plans for tomorrow” she said while tapping her fingers into her lap.
“But it is your eighteenth birthday tomorrow, you forgot aren't you?” her father said, and she just rubbed the back of her neck.
“I don't want a party, but I want pasta and cupcakes” she said, and her parents nodded then her father stood up
“Go to your room and sleep” her father said and went to their room
“Just invite your friends tomorrow. I will cook the foods okay” her mother said and stood up. She just nodded as a sign of thanks, then her mother went to their room too.
Elena just sat on the couch thinking about her dreams. It's bothering her since last month, at first she thought it was just a weird dream but the fifth time it happened she was scared. Scared of what it is because last month until now her dreams are always the same, the dream is blurred, but it shows a man with a lady in the forest just standing in front of each other. After that, they hug and the dream ends there. She didn't want to think about it, so instead she texted her friends.

She smiled . Her friends are really something. That's why they are her only best friends, ever since they were young and no one can ever replace them, but then she thought about her dreams again, and it's still bothering her even if she thinks that it is nothing but a stupid dream too stupid because she is scared, she giggled at her thoughts and shook her head, but her smile faded when she saw a shadow in front of her so she looks behind her but found no one then she looked in front of her, but she only found her shadow alone
“Okay Elena, you should sleep. There's no one here with you, you are just hallucinating” she said to herself then stood up and walked upstairs meanwhile he was hiding behind the couch thinking again
How could she see him when he is invincible in humans eyes? Even the human he is guarding shouldn't see him, so what happened just now?
He shook his head then stood up. He should be careful. He didn't know if she really can see him, but he still needed to be careful, he didn't want to take a risk or else she will freak out.
He walked upstairs and hid behind the door while she wasn't looking. Elena is sitting on her bed while facing the window. She is hesitating to go to sleep call her stupid, but again she is scared to have the same dreams but she still lay on her bed and closed her eyes and soon enough she fell asleep.
He saw her sweating while sleeping again, so he looked at the clock, and it's 12 o'clock the time flies so fast.
"No, no" he heard Elena whispered while sleeping so he went closer to her and look at her.
“Please don't” she said again but this time with tears in her eyes. He began to worry about her, so he decided to enter her dreams but this thing is, he couldn't there's something that was stopping him from doing that.
“Please don't, no don't do it I beg you” she whispered again, and more tears flowed out of her eyes, and he can tell that she was scared, but he didn't exactly know why, but he was sure of one thing…
This was not just an ordinary nightmare. He knew that there was something more behind that he just needs to know the details, but he didn't know how… That's a big problem for him.
He tried his best to calm her system down but nothing happened, she's still crying and begging for someone to stop into her dreams. He didn't know whether it's a fantasy dream or almost a reality dream, he couldn't tell because he hadn't seen it before, and it gives him goosebumps even if he is not an ordinary human. He still can feel the word scared just like what Elena can feel while she's sleeping, and he also wondered what is her dreams all about.
Why is she begging? Why is she crying? Is it because her dream is all about a relative that is dying in her dreams? Or there's still something else, he can't tell.
His thoughts we're cut when he heard a scream, he quickly looked at Elena and saw her sitting in the bed with her hands in her both ears, and she's still screaming.
“PLEASE DON'T, STOP PLEASE!” at this point she's not whispering anymore, shouting the words like there's no tomorrow, and then he heard some running footsteps. Not too long, Elena's door opens, and it reveals her parents. They hug Elena while she is crying.
“Tell me what's wrong, honey?” Her mother said while rubbing her back, her head is leaning on his father's chest and sobbing.
“There's a lady she stabbed a man and another lady in the forest” she said while sobbing
“Darling don't be afraid, no one stab anybody, okay? ” Her mother said, and her father hug her tight.
“But mom..... The lady who got stabbed rose and turned to me then she stabbed me non-stop” she said while looking into her mother's eyes.
He watches as Elena tells her parents about her dreams. It looks like an ordinary dream for others, but for him, it's a sign.....
A sign of danger
“Mom, I'm scared” she said again, but her mother embraces her.
“Don't be sweetheart… It is just a dream… Just a dream, okay? “ Her father said. She nodded her head as a sign of agreement, and then she looked up only to see a man standing beside the bed, her eyes widened so is the boy.
He knew that she can see him, he can escape and make her think that she's hallucinating, but right now, he will take the risk and talk to her....... Even if she freaks out.
