Sitting on the couch, Hanna was feeling very sad. She missed her parents a lot. She thought about Sara. Was she really dead?
Yeah! Why did not she think about that earlier. Sara was a psychiatrist and she would often narrate Hanna about complicated cases where her patients behaved violently, just like Alex did. She thought of contacting Sara.

As she reached for her mobile phone, Alex popped in the room. He opened a packet and handed it to Hanna.

- "What's that?"

- "Open it".

When Hanna opened the packet, she found an elegant purple gown.

- "Wow.. That's so pretty!"

- "You have to wear this for tonight".

- "Why?"

- "For our reception. Mom didn't tell you?"

- "No. She did not mention that. Look Alex we need to talk. I don't know when and how we got married but there is something not normal happening out here. We need to do something."

- "What are you talking about Hanna?"

- "Exactly. You don't remember those weird things that you do to me when you wear your green eye lenses. You even tried to strangle me!"

- "What nonsense! Stop it now and get ready for the reception. Guests will be arriving here as from 5 pm, so be quick."

- "What the heck! Why aren't you believing me Alex?"

- "Listen Hanna... We don't have time for this. Go and get ready. Everyone is waiting for us downstairs."

- "Alright then. You don't have time to listen to me.....Fine. I also don't have time for your bloody reception. And by the way, I personally don't accept this marriage. So, take your dress and leave."

Silence then occupied the room. Hanna turned her face away from Alex. Alex was silent too.

Suddenly, Hanna heard strange noises.....noises like cracking or somewhat.
When she turned back, she saw Alex...but..not Alex......
Alex was transforming into something else. He had his gaze lowered, he was breathing hard, he was grinding his teeth, the room was dark, he developed rashes on his hands and neck, he grew long nails and as he slowly raised his head, his green eyes illuminated his face. Hanna was shocked,....so shocked that she stood still. She witnessed a demon in front of her.

Alex walked toward her with rage. His lips kept on trembling, as if he was a vampire who got to suck blood after a long time. Hanna was so scared. Her eyes watered. She stared at Alex with wide eyes. She did not even dare to move.

Alex grabbed her arms and pressed her hard against the wall. Reaching closer, he tucked her hair behind her ear, sending chills down Hanna's spine.

"So, you don't believe in our marriage hun?" He said in a cold and angry voice.

Hanna did not answer. She couldn't even open her mouth. She was overcome by fear. She was sweating a lot.

"I advice you to go and change as soon as possible.. Otherwise I will have to do it myself." He said as he blinked his eyes.

He took the gown and pushed Hanna in the bathroom. He threw the dress on her. Hanna fell on the floor, hurting her
hands.

"You have only 20 minutes. Be quick!" Alex said with rage.

Hanna, still on the floor, still in pain, started to cry. She felt miserable. She was all alone. She cried so hard. Alex knocked the door loudly. She got scared and quickly rushed to change. She was now very afraid of Alex.
