Chapter 2
Shelley wakes up to the sweet aroma of food (of course,) and immediately jumps up from her spot beside the burnt out fire, she strolls into the kitchen to see Aaliyah standing there cooking breakfast for the two of them "just cause you saved me from possibly dying, it's the least I could do" Aaliyah exclaims without so much as turning her head, Shelley sits down and enjoys being pampered, she turns on the news to see the aftermath of the previous night's snowstorm, a power line fell down and blocked one of the main roads and a couple of houses got some damage, but what really caught her eye was a picture of Aaliyah printed in the corner of the screen with, "missing person" written in bold letters underneath, she glances back at Aaliyah to see that she was no longer there, suspicious, Shelley went over and had a look inside the kitchen, there was no sign of Aaliyah ever being there, she turned to exit the kitchen, but instead walked directly into Aaliyah, consequently sending the two plates of food sailing into the air and crashing atop poor Shelley, who was still dazed from Aaliyah's sudden appearance, she fainted and crumpled to the floor. As if waking from a nightmare, Shelley's eyes sprung open, only to see Aaliyah laying in her lap fast asleep back in front of her fireplace, nothing in those last few minutes had happened. Shelley shrugged it off as just a dream and dozed off again, but when she woke, everything was the same as what happened in her dream, the same smell of food, the same news, even the same tune that Aaliyah had so cheerfully whistled in the dream, Shelley shuffled over to her chair and collapsed upon it, kicking off her woolen slippers who had still sat on her feet from the night prior to that confusing morning, she focused on the TV once more, watching the same news but this time, when she glanced at the kitchen, Aaliyah stood right in front of her, wielding a sharp knife, Shelley clamped her eyelids together as Aaliyah slammed the knife down, blood began to seep from the fresh cut, "how do you like your steak?" Aaliyah asked innocently, Shelley opened her eyes to see that it was just steak that she was cutting, not her head, "medium r-rare" she stuttered hesitantly, Aaliyah just nodded in reply and returned to the kitchen as Shelley allowed her heart to calm itself down enough so that she wasn't at risk of a heart attack, she quickly downed her entire breakfast despite her whole body telling her something wasn't adding up, though she couldn't quite figure it out, Aaliyah gave her a thoughtful look and asked "how is it?" Shelley only smiled and nodded, due to her mouth being completely full of steak and eggs, Aaliyah gave a final satisfied version of her now signature cute expression, finally, she was content
