Night greeted again, Alice was still alone in the room.
The silence of the night made Alice's heart feel uneasy. In her sleep, she again had the image of Sea.
This time it wasn't Sea's apparent brutality, but Sea's warm smile and friendly demeanor that greeted her.
The woman walked over, carrying a tray of food.
"Alice," she said softly as she patted Alice's shoulder.
Instantly Alice's eyes opened and she began to wake up from her dream.
"Oh my God! Was it just a dream?" Alice immediately got up from the bed, she grabbed a glass of water and drank it on the spot.
The feeling is still not calm, the hairs on the back of her neck growled.
"I'm afraid to sleep alone," she mumbled.
Slowly Alice headed to Bella's room.
She wanted to sleep there. But the room looks very narrow, one bed is occupied by three people.
Namely, Bella, Daniel, and Diana.
"I can't sleep there, the mattress is narrow," Alice turned around and went back into her room again.
Before going to bed she checked all the doors. She just wanted to make sure that all the doors were locked tightly, so that no intruders could enter, including Sea.
"Yes, it's safe. Now I can sleep comfortably," said Alice.
She lay back down on the bed again.
Her mouth kept muttering alone.
"I don't have to be afraid of nightmares. And I don't have to be afraid of Clara's ghost either. Because it can't do anything. What's more, it can't kill people."
"Now all I'm afraid of is Sea because she managed to escape from the police,"
"I'm afraid she's come to Oxford to look for me!"
"Therefore I must be vigilant, and always close the door tightly!" She poured her heart out by talking alone until she finally closed her eyes.
The nightmare has not ended, Sea is back in her dream. In the silence, Alice saw the arrival of Sea.
"Alice, don't you feel sorry for me?" said Sea. This time Sea spoke with a pale and pitiful face.
Unlike in the previous dream, the woman looked very friendly, and the previous day Sea looked very scary.
"Sea! Why are you still able to come in? Haven't I locked all the doors?!" said Alice, looking confused? She remembered that she had actually closed the door of the house tightly, but somehow Sea was still able to enter.
Alice has not realized that she is back in the dream world.
And after she looked again, apparently she was not at Bella's house, but at Sea's house.
"Why am I here? Wasn't I still at Bella's house?" said Alice.
She was about to run out of this house, but her feet accidentally hit a corpse lying on the ground.
"Ah!" Alice screamed, she saw the corpse's face, and it was Livy Jones.
"Livy? Wasn't the body cremated?" said a confused Alice. And from a distance, Alice again saw the corpses of Archer, Lilly, and the others.
Their faces looked scary.
Then in front of her, Sea began to walk closer. Sea's face is also not as cheerful as usual.
This time the woman looked very pale, and there were many bruises all over her body.
"Alice..." she called in a trembling voice.
"Go! Don't come any closer!" cried Alice.
"Alice, I beg you... Alice, please...." Sea looks so fragile. Alice herself didn't know what had caused Sea to be like this.
Totally unlike the Sea, she knew.
I don't know what happened to Sea, Alice didn't care what was important to her was that she could get out of this place right now.
Alice ran as hard as she could, she grabbed the door knop, but right beside her suddenly Clara was standing and staring at her in disbelief.
"Aunt Alice," she said in a low voice and level.
"Get out of the way! I want out!" snapped Alice.
"Auntie, please my mother, Auntie ..." Clara begged. Then the girl pointed toward the chimney.
"There!" she said.
But Alice didn't care, she tried to turn the doorknob which was difficult.
She couldn't stand being here anymore.
But Clara's small hand tried to stop it.
And from a distance Sea also began to walk closer.
The woman who had looked sad and pitiful smiled.
"Alice, if you don't want to help me, then I will enter your body!" said Sea.
The woman drew closer and made Alice even more frightened, Sea was not like a human, but like a ghost.
Alice shouted.
"NO ...!" And right at that moment, she woke up from her sleep.
Again Bella, Diana, and Daniel ran to Alice.
"Aunt Alice, what's wrong?" asked a worried Diana.
"Alice, did you have another bad dream?" Bella asked, rubbing her sister's shoulder.
"Huh... I'm scared, Bella!" Alice hugged her old sister's body.
***
The nightmares she had almost every night, really made Alice feel uneasy.
And she told this all to a Psychiatrist. But strangely, every word and input given by the psychiatrist was unable to calm Alice.
Even the sedatives she was given didn't work at all.
Alice was so sick of her life that she felt like dying.
But the existence of Bella and Felix can make her strong and tries to fight this fear.
***
Alice walked out of the clinic, and in front of her were two cars waiting for her.
One car belongs to Carlos, and the other car belongs to Felix.
"Alice! Come on in here!" Carlos shouted.
And Felix didn't want to lose either, he shouted for Alice.
"Hey, Alice! Let's just get in my car!" Felix said.
Carlos looked annoyed at Felix he sneered at Felix's car which looked old and ugly.
"Alice, come on! What beautiful woman deserves to ride in a junk car like that!" Carlos sneered, glancing at Felix sarcastically.
Felix shook his head.
"At least only my car is a wreck, but my soul is still a loyal man, not Masher like you!" scorned Felix at Carlos.
Of course, Carlos did not accept Felix's words.
"Hi, Felix! What do you mean?!" Carlos shouted.
Felix responded with a disdainful smile. Carlos was getting more and more disapproved, he approached Felix and wanted to invite him to fight.
But Alice tried to intervene.
"Hey! Stop it!" snapped Alice. "I want to go home together, Felix!" said Alice.
Felix smiled happily, he sneered at Carlos secretly.
Carlos was getting angrier, his hands clenched into fists, but he couldn't do anything.
"Alright, let's hurry up, Felix!" said Alice.
Then the car drove out of the parking area.
To be continued.
