"Hey, wake up." A small voice whispered into her ears as she panted in her sleep.

"Wake up." The faint voice beckoned on her again, and her eyes flew wide open, as she gasped from her sleep – her nightmare.

Her eyes trailed the wavy locks of hair that hovered above her face, and another gasp escaped her lips when she saw the unfamiliar face smiling at her.

"Hey." The lady smiled.

Nevaeh jerked up and looked around the room to ensure she was in the same place she had been before she slept. It was her's and Dale's room, so how was she here? Who was she? Her eyes travelled back to her.

With suspicious and nervous eyes, she glanced back at the stranger, while her body stayed alert. Her honey brown eyes which had an awkward streak of gold that circled around it, caught her attention. It was similar to Dale's eye feature. Her cheek bone looked perfectly carved and her face was beautiful, just like her fair skin. Her ethereal blonde hair made her look distressingly perfect.

"Who are you? And...and how did you get here?" She inquired.

The girl leaned towards her and Nevaeh moved away to the other side of the bed, her eyes as calculative as they could get at the moment.

A short and amused laugh escaped the lady's lips as she stared at Nevaeh with fascination. "I'm not here to hurt you." She said, but Nevaeh's suspicious eyes narrowed further.

"Isn't that what all bad people say?"

The lady chuckled again, making Nevaeh realize she had just said that out. She smiled and sat on the edge of the bed while Nevaeh jumped out of it. Fear tickling her spine, but she tried to keep a brave front even though her mind was panickly devising an escape route out of the room. Though the girl looked beautiful and harmless, there was an intimidating air around her that made her look terrifying.

Where was Dale? And how did she get into the house?

The girl turned to her and said, "I know you're a scared-"

"I'm not scared." Nevaeh interjected her. She couldn't let her know she was.

"Right." The girl nodded. "I know you're not scared, but believe me, I'm not here to hurt you. I just came to see you." She said while Nevaeh raised a brow at her. She came to see her? Why?

"But I don't know you." Nevaeh said.

"I know. But you will." She said. "Let's say I'm Dale's sister."

'Dale's sister?' Nevaeh looked at her from head to toes. She didn't think she was Dale's sister. There was no resemblance whatsoever. And Simon had told her Dale had no family, so was she?

"Maybe you should come back, when Dale's around." She told her. She had thought about threatening her with Dale's name, but if she was bold to enter into their bedroom, then she must be aware that she was alone at home, and that would show she was indeed scared.

The girl nodded and rose to her feet. But instead of walking towards the door, she started towards Nevaeh, making her retreat towards the wall while her eyes scanned around for something she could use to defend herself.

"Don't come closer. I don't want to hurt you." Nevaeh warned as she grabbed something behind her, while her hand struggled to identify what she held. The girl was unfazed by her threat as she walked even closer with her eyes fixed on Nevaeh's hand.

"Let me help you with that" She pointed her chin towards her hand.

Nevaeh looked at her hand and she was surprised to see, the infection has returned and her hand was in that horrible form it once was. It had turned black again. She could feel it itch too, even more than it was before she slept and it was quite painful.

"It must hurt." She said. Nevaeh looked at her with shocked eyes. How did she know?

She stopped a few feet away from Nevaeh, maintaining some good distance to make her comfortable. "Let me see it." She stretched her hand to her.

Nevaeh peered at her before looking at her outstretched hand. "I promise, I won't hurt you. I swear on my light." She swore. Her face and tone showing the sincerity in her words.

Nevaeh felt her heart waver as she skeptically looked at the girl. She struggled internally, but the pain from her hand had her stretching her hand to the girl.

She smiled at her. "You should close your eyes." She said, making Nevaeh a bit more suspicious again. Her tightly knotted brows made the girl smile even more. "I can't hurt you. If I dare, Dale would have my head." She said.

Nevaeh hesitated as she slowly closed her eyes. She knew she shouldn't be trusting a stranger that might be of harm to her, but if she really wanted to harm her wouldn't she had done it while she slept?

She heaved a round of raspy breath, and tightly closed her eyes. She felt something warm tingle her skin, which gradually coursed through her spine, warming up her stomach and every bit of her. It feel good and...magical.

What was that? She pondered.

"Open your eyes." She heard the girl say and she fluttered her eyes open. Nevaeh was stunned to see her hand. Though the cut remained, the blackness was gone again and was the itching and pain.

She looked at the girl with widened eyes. "How?" She asked. When she had said she could help, she didn't know it would be like this.

The girl lovingly smiled at her. "Call it magic." She said as she turned away and walked to the dressing table.

Nevaeh looked at her hand. Magic? That wasn't possible.

"Come here. I'll help with your hair." She waved the brush in her hand. Nevaeh gazed at her, not sure of what to think or say. She let go of the object she had grabbed to defend herself, and she was mortified to discover she had only been holding a Plastic piece of art that decorated the room.

She heard her chuckle and she felt more embarrassed.

"Come on." The girl beckoned on her.

Though Nevaeh felt less threatened by her she was still uneasy. Yet, she took slow steps towards the girl and sat down on the chair she pulled out for her.

Her nervous eyes glued at her through the mirror, as she gently combed her hair. Nevaeh watched her in silence as she combed and styled her hair in an unfamiliar way, but it looked nice.

She touched her hair and muttered, "Thank you."

"It's the least I can do." She replied.

Nevaeh turned to her and asked, "Are you truly his sister?" She still doubted that, but the girl hasn't harmed her in any way, so she could probably be saying the truth, right?

Nevaeh paid rapt attention to her when she hesitated her reply. "Actually, I'm not." She replied and Nevaeh's eyes hardened at her.

"But i know him. Me and him, are close."

"How?" Nevaeh immediately asked in a tight voice. The girl smiled when she noticed the change in Nevaeh's eyes. What was she thinking now?

"Don't worry, I don't know him in that manner." She replied. "And it's good to know you're still protective of him in this manner."

Still protective of him? How was she protective of him?

"You must be bored being alone in this house." She said before Nevaeh could say something.

"Mr Simon is not around."

"Mister?" She chuckled amusedly making Nevaeh furrow her brows as she thought about what could be funny.

"Dale and his minion are really selling it." She snickered, while Nevaeh kept staring at her, pondering on what her words meant. Everyone seems to be talking in some mysterious ways.

"Don't worry. I'll keep you company till he returns." She announced. Nevaeh couldn't help but blink at her words. Keep her company? She couldn't do that. She couldn't just stay with a stranger at home at home, right? Though, she had helped her with her hand, and she had also allowed her to style her hair, but that didn't mean she could stay alone with her. What if this was all pretense?

"I don't think-"

"Don't worry, I'll be good to you, okay? I'll keep you company till he returns."

"I'm not sure." Nevaeh sighed.

"Don't you trust me, yet?" Trust? Nevaeh gazed at her. Trust wasn't earned in one day right? Though for some unknown reason she felt quite comfortable with her, that didn't mean she could let her guards down and be with a stranger.

Noticing the struggle in her eyes, the girl sighed. "I understand. Trust isn't built in one day, and it's mostly hard for humans to do so with people." She said while Nevaeh looked at her in a pitiable way. But the situation couldn't be helped.

"I'll leave now, but you must take good care of yourself, okay?" She said. Neveah found herself nodding at her words.

She watched as turned towards the door to leave.

"Wait! I don't know your name." Nevaeh said. The girl turned and smiled at her, like was pleased to hear her question.

"Laila." She said. Nevaeh repeated the name I. her head and it oddly felt familiar.

"Thank you, Laila." She said while the girl nodded at her before heading for the door. Her hand on the door knob paused and she turned around to look at Nevaeh.

"You must not tell him, I was here." Nevaeh frowned at her words.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because, he might have my head for it."
