'' fire, that was all I see. warmth, that was all I can feel but..... '' 

she sees her hand covered in blood, she hears the screams around her and she can feel herself trying to smile while tears ran down her face. She looks up and brushes her messy white hair with her bloody hands. She entered the lab with a one-tracked mind, trying to get free but she knows she has to set them free too. 

she sees the glass capsule, her vision went blurry but she does know she pressed a button, letting the capsule open. And before she could fall to the floor someone caught her. She opens her eyes for a moment and saw a sad smile. 

'' But why do I remember feeling ..... cold? '' 

Her senses were going off, she succumbs to the comfort of the cold and hears the soft voice of a young man.

''it's alright, I promise we'll get out of here...

snowflake '' 

Luna wakes up and quickly sat up while gasping for air. This was the third time this month, it confused her but also intrigued her on why the dream would keep repeating itself. she knows she'll be revisiting her psychiatrist. But before that, it's a brand new day and she should start preparing for work.

 She stood up and then wrote the word 'ethereal' on one empty page on her journal. Which was stuffed with sketches, short stories, and poems. In the next blank page, she wrote what occurred in her dream. It has always been a habit to Luna to take notes, she would always bring notebooks with her in case she would be bored at any time. At first, it was because her friend told her to get a hobby, but now it's a weird habit for her to write things every so often, even if it wasn't necessary. She then resumed to her daily routine then went outside and walked to El's Bakery where she works. 

It was going to be Halloween and they should start preparing the treats. She didn't run in a hurry though, she walks very slowly, just putting on her earphones and listening calming music while admiring the cool air and the falling maple leaves. She doesn't care if she was going to be late, if she is to waste her energy on socializing, she might as well charged up and enjoy her time walking alone. She caught a glimpse of a husky passed by her with its owner, it had calming blue eyes and soft white hair. She only blinked for a second and the blurry figure from her dream came back. A fuzzy white and two bright blue pupils and a hand that seems to reach her. The image was only for a moment but the chilling feeling was still there. She tries to brush it off as she thought that it's just the cold air of the autumn wind

She finally arrived at the bakery, and Amara greeted her with a smile which she replied with a salute. She then put on the apron and started helping Amara put on the icing on the cookies designing them as other Halloween themes. Like spiders, pumpkins, etc. 

'' hey Moon, you look pretty tired. were you sleeping well?'' Amara tilted her head to Luna's directed, she called her by the nickname she gave Luna since Luna is Latin for moon. She started calling her that since the day they became friends which were when they both got hired in this bakery. Luna only nodded and smiled and continued her work. In which where Amara only sighed. 

'' BITCH WHY YOU KEEP ON LYING TO ME! " this startled the other employees but not to only shrug and smiled ''you might want to lower your voice or you might  get fired, Amy"

The others then resumed to their work then the news came on the TV

"breaking news: the murder spree is still going on. A man named Alistair Star died with 28 stab wounds. It is said the suspect has covered himself up in a hoodie after he emerges from the dark alley where Alistair was brutally murdered. Not just that, Regina Rose, has been reported missing. It is advisable to say that none should walk alone tonight. "

And after that report, everyone started gossiping about it till madam Lane, the owner of the shop, came into the room.

"Alright! Everyone stop talking and start working your butts off. Although there may be no trick or treating cuz of this murder spree for the kids, there are still teens who have been preparing their parties and they KNOW this shop is the best! So come on chop-chop! " she claps her hands and urged everyone to start.

Luna sighed, she has already heard of the murder spree that has been happening for a few days, she doesn't mind it. But she is curious about how it came to this.

Killian ran to an alleyway knowing that he was gonna get cornered if he ran further. He saw a staircase and climb up the men in black clothes still keeping up. He jumped into an apartment window scaring the citizens in that room this made one of the men being left to handle the situation while the other 4 keeps on chasing him. He purposely knocks things out for the men to slow down which made one severely wounded while one man decided to help him. So there were only two left. 

Killian finally arrived at the rooftop and decided to hide behind a corner and bring out a gun. The two men arrived and searched for Killian. 

''mike where did he go?'' the one who looks like he is in his early 20's ask 

''Grey, I- '' then they both heard a gunshot, Grey looks behind to see Mike shot in the head and Killian smirking evilly. Grey looks pale, he was terrified and he steps back while Killian moves closer. 

''grey huh? Nice name. Tell me why the hell did you apply for this job? When you know there's a possibility you won't survive and won't be able to see your lovely wife who is going to bear a child'' at this point Grey has already reached the edge of the building with a shock expression. 

''h-how did you know?'' Killian tsk at his question as if the answer is obvious.

''when you and your fellow friends were spying on me in the grocery store, you've been receiving texts and messages and your expression was happy then you frowned which means your happy for the news of that message but sad that you were assigned to take care of me. You kept hesitatingly watch me but it seems you were somewhere else in your head.  You also asked a woman from the grocery store who you just found there, probably an old friend by the way you act around her, and asked for a favor. Not to mention the amount of money you gave her too. Didn't you see me follow her? She picks up stuff like milk and other baby stuff so I'm assuming the obvious. Of course, you wouldn't know that you half-witted fools. '' Killian grabs Grey's neck and tries to choke him. He pulls him up planning to make him fall to his death. 

''please.. they need..... me'' then Killian lets go. 

Fortunately, he didn't let him fall to his death, Killian went close to him and whispered to him. ''You might want to quit this organization, cuz next time we meet I'm no longer taking that excuse. '' he moves away as Grey tries to catch his breath. Killian walks away then pauses and sighed.

''ugh, you know what.. ''  he turns and shoots him in the leg making him scream. Killian knelt at him as Grey sobs and tries to ignore the pain. It was agonizing, Grey just stares at the madman who was just smiling. 

''knowing the organization they won't let you quit until your useless them. You can thank me by not showing your face again'' Killian calls the emergency and leaves his phone to him. 

Before leaving though he took the man's phone and wallet, not his money though, he's not that merciless. He walks down the park and sees a white husky. He smiles. ''awww, maybe I should get a dog, perhaps a German shepherd''

Luna's POV

We were all done with the desserts and it was dusk, everyone decided to hang out in a club. Amara did ask me to go join them but I declined the offer and now I'm here in my room, trying to write something or even sketch, I remember as a child, I had a huge imagination and I even started to enter writing competitions but sometimes I stop. I  don't know why but I don't enjoy it anymore like I used to but I got to be more productive. I place my hands  above the keyboard of my laptop and typed '' some people can't find what they're looking for but ubhfnmu dh '' 

I slammed my head unto the laptop in despair and frustration. Well fuck, I can't even make one fucking sentence. So I decided to stop and scroll down social media. Everyone seems so happy, my parents are reunited with my aunt and uncle with their kids who are already 15 in a mall with bright smiles. I scroll much further to see my old friend Blair with her boyfriend and I notice rings on both of their hands. I smiled slightly, Blair deserves her happily ever after so I commented ''wow, Sana all.'' It'll take a moment for her to reply so I resumed scrolling further and see Amara with my other coworkers having fun. I liked all the photos and look at their smiles.

Somehow, I frowned. I got a reply from Blair but did not read it. I close my laptop and was about to get ready for bed. Wrote the word of the day on my journal; 

Lypophrenia (n.) A vague feeling of sadness or sorrow seemingly without cause.
