The hair behind my neck was standing. I shivered. My breathing was rapid, and my heart felt like it's gonna rip its way out of my chest.

I heard footsteps coming closer. And closer.

The time felt as if it was moving slow, very slowly.....

I stopped breathing. And the door opened. My eyes were wide in fear.

There were three people standing at the doorway. It was too dark for me to see their faces. The strong smell of jasmine and death struck my nose. I cringed it.

The one in the middle drew out his sword. The light reflected by the sword was blood red. I moved back in fear as he walked slowly towards me, as if trying to persuade me that it wasn't going to be a painful death. My back came into contact with the wall.

I had nowhere to run. I had no chance against them. I had no courage to fight back. I had no place to hide. I...... had no reason to die. Yet.

He lifted his sword and with a swift slash, he drew blood from my neck. My head felt light and everything was spinning. Before i closed my eyes, there was one thing i saw. Very clearly.

The tattoo. A scorpion.



My eyes opened suddenly. I realized i was sweating and there were tears pooling up in my eyes. I looked around to find that Kay was sleeping soundly beside me. So it was a dream, huh? I thought to myself.

Kay shifted and he woke up. He looked at me in concern. I knew he knew what I'd just been through. He sat up and moved closer to me.

"Drink me. It'll make you feel better."
