The night had arrived and yet the amusement park was still filled with fun. Kids and even adults were still playing in there with the lights on and decorative lights on. But soon or later people were going to be leaving and the amusement park would close.
Hana and kelvin walked out of the gaming house with a frown on Hana's face and joy all over Kelvin's face.
"That was wonderful! I aced each scores, didn't you see? I was on fire!" He boasted as Hana rolled her eyes.
"You were not playing fair. How can I loose an entirely round without any hope of winning and you keep attacking me intentionally to get me killed. That's so not fair!" Hana complained making kelvin laugh.
"You Don't have to worry and cast blames. It's just that you're terrible at this. so you need to practice your skills for improvement. And remember, you can always approach me for help" He beast his chest in pride.
Hana folded her hands "Says the guy who screamed like a girl throughout the rollercoaster ride and also screamed all through the haunted house and clinged to me like a little scared girl" Hana teased walking pass him.
"Hey! You still haven't forgotten that! and you! You got it badly, I didn't scream like a gir...." He paused looking around at the passersby.
He then ran off towards Hana" Hey wait!"
He met up with her where she was seated on a bench and looking around. He also came to sit besides her. "How can your little leg run this fast?" He said in a teasing tone.
"Whatever" she tried ignoring him as she looked up into the starry night.
Kelvin also looked up" Do you like star gazing? Because I also do!" Kelvin said.
"No...now don't like it.... disgusting" She said, still looking up.
"Hey...how can you be this cruel. Even Sunni is better than you?"
"Whatever" She leaned back on her seat, closing her eyes.
"Hey...what do you wanna do?" he looked at her.
"Resting my mind" She said.
"Resting? That's boring. We can still play, the place isn't closed yet"
"You can go and play. I'm tired" she said.
"You are? well you should thank me for giving you a wonderful day and .....maybe thank me by.... helping me and your friend get together"
Hana still didn't open her eyes. She had already knew that this was the reason he had brought her out here. The idea amused her and besides it was to her own benefit so whatever. " Keep on dreaming"
"What? how can you....? After having fun you still refuse my offer. what type of girl would possibly refuse this?"
"A smart girl" She said with her eyes still closed.
"You......! well....I won't argue with you now" He said also leaning back and closing his eyes. "Oh.... this is actually comfortable" He said opening his eyes and admiring the night Sky.
Few minutes into his star gazing, he suddenly felt a head falling on his shoulder. Looking by his side, he saw Hana, who was asleep, leaning her head on his shoulder.
He looked at her sleeping peacefully for a while" You refuse to help me yet enjoy my treat today and now sleep on my shoulder. I guess I'm too nice to a guy" He said as he looked up into the sky again.

Sunni actually didn't go home afterwards but rather went at that hall where she had held that interview for members of her detective agency. And where she had first met Lucas.
She sat there quietly waiting to see if Lucas would come. She really needed to see him, she had complaints for him, she had questions to him, she also had words for him. But she had waited there for long but no one came. She felt disappointed. She wasn't certain that he would come, it was only her wishful thinking. Something she really hoped will be. But she was disappointed. It was already 7:23pm and no one came.
The security man came in and informed her that the hall was being closed in few minutes time. She didn't have any choice but to leave.
Outside, Sunni strolled through the road side in a gloomy mood. She was still feeling down physically and mentally.
She kept thinking of Lucas, she couldn't stop herself from thinking about it and it troubled her. she really wanted to find him and ask him about her health. She didn't quite understand many things in her life after meeting him and she needed clarification.
She stopped by the first shop they had went for meal. Looking inside she could imagine seeing them seated opposite each other with Lucas eating and eating and the poor her crying inside. She didn't know if to cry or laugh at the memory but then a soft smile escaped her lips... and at the same time a tear drop fell from her eyes.
Strolling the street, she couldn't help but speak to herself. ' Where could you have gone to? It's been days and you haven't come to find me or talk to me? Have you gone back or are you dead? Or could you be mad at me for what I did? How can you be mad? I'm the one who should be mad'
She continued pondering as she strolled. Most at times, tears rolled down her eyes but she would clean it up with her elbow.
"How cruel are you!" She continued" you keep clinging to me and pestering me Everytime but why would you suddenly leave when I need you...'

Lying in his bed in the dark room, Dave Lin moved uncomfortably as if he was having a nightmare. And Indeed he was having one.
In his dream, he Found himself in an empty street with street lights actively around. He looked around confused for a while as he walked ahead for a while before he saw someone approaching.
Looking closely, he finally recognized the person to be that beast, or rather non human with purple eyes who had attacked Sunni.
"You....."
"Yes me....I'm glad you remembered me." He smirked, devilishly.
"What do you want?" Dave Lin asked. He didn't seem to be afraid.
"Well if you asked so directly. I'll speak. I know what is happening to your dear friend and I can actually help you"
Kelvin paused "you mean.... Sunni?"
"Yeah, that's the one"
"So I'm right. You're the person responsible for what she's going through now" Dave said.
"Hmm...not so true. I'm not. But I'll tell you in details anyway. Your dear Sunni is actually bearing an instrument in her heart and this instrument I what saved her from death and keeps her alive, so let's call it her life. But sadly, this is not hers and it belongs to another world, so I'm here to get it. But .... taking it would be taking her life and since I've already absorbed half of it ...it means I've taken half of her life. Now she is on the edge of death without her full life and her health will keep.dwindling and if proper attention is not given from a fellow inhuman, she'll have like a month to live"
Dave was shocked at the theory "You.... give back the life to her!"
The man smiled" You speak badly....how can I give her my object like that. I want it back. So that's why I've come to you"
"What do you want from me?"
"I'll help you...you help me. Killing a mortal is of no advantage to me and certainly no fun. So I can give you something you'll have to give to Sunni, then gradually, her heart can be parted from the instrument and she'll be safe... then I go with my Instrument and you have your lover.... Everyone's happy"
"She's not my lover, she's just my employee"
"Gosh...how can you humans still be ignorant of you feelings? Well, I won't bother with that. But think it carefully, do you want to save you little employee or let her die slowly And I still get my instrument eventually?"
Dave Lin thought for while as the man got out a little bottle of medicine and gave it to him
"Take This and let her have it ...in a matter of days.... she'll be free from my tool and I can have it. Everyone wins, right?, or do you really want her dead?"
After a while of thinking, Dave took the pill as the man smiled.
"Good now...save her" He said as Dave Lin disappeared.
With a smile, The man Looked up. His mission was complete. He knew fully well that it was impossible to take the instrument without Sunni dying and the pill will only kill her quickly and bring the object to her.
Dave Lin suddenly jerked open that night panting as he looked around. Then in his hands he saw the pill, it wasn't actually a dream ....

The cab pulled over at a spot as Lara got out and paid the driver.
She turned walking down her lonely street to her house when she suddenly felt something pass her by.
She looked behind and around but nothing, then she walked again and then from behind a shadow came over her and entered her.
The she opened her eyes which glowed in purple. Then a voice said...
"She has taken your long love away....and now it's time to get back at her......"
