KURZE ZEIT: Short Time

7. Dreamtime

Lucie went down the stairs quickly, she headed to her backyard. Lucie quickly put on a sweater, a jacket, then draped her scarf around her neck. He opened the door, unexpectedly when the door was wide open, the man was standing before him.

"Want to meet me?"

His body stiffened, no! not tonight!

His legs slowly moved backwards, now he felt very threatened, for some reason his subconscious just shouted. Close door! hurry along! his hand held the doorknob as fast as he could and tried to close the door.

But one of his legs came against the door that Lucie was trying to close.

"It won't help you find an answer" he said.

"I won't do anything to you as long as you want to see me in Rote Rose's garden" he began to threaten Lucie.

"There's nothing important to talk about, please let me go" just after her plea, she whispered "Close your eyes"

Lucie closed her eyes, "now, open your eyes" he said.

When Lucie opened her eyes, she disappeared.

...❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️...

"What's up, brother? can't sleep or have nightmares?" Ben appeared from behind him while carrying a cup of water.

"Nightmare" he said.

Lucie observes her sister "what about you?"

"Can't sleep" Ben patted her brother's shoulder as he said "sister I have to sleep now, good night"

"All right, good night" he replied.

Lucie walked into the room, as she closed the door, the wind blew through the walls of her room, touching her sensitive skin making her body shiver. Lucie finds her bedroom window still wide open, she turns on the light and closes the window.

Lucie lay on the bed praying, after which she turned off the lights.

"Praying? not to have nightmares or to sleep?"

His eyes were wide open, he felt someone behind him. His shadow became clearer under his sleeping lamp, he wondered if that person was a thief, or if he was the man who met him a few minutes ago.

"Who are you?"

"The same person who met you a few minutes ago, it's very honorable for me to be able to enter your room"

"What's? Your honor?!" Lucie got up from her bed, she looked back, her eyes found the man's eyes watching her intensely, his handsome face, his clothes all black. He fell silent, trying to calm down while looking for a way to get rid of this man.

"Sleep, I didn't bring up my previous words anyway"

"Go away if so" he replied, his hand gripping tightly against his blanket.

The man approached Lucie's ear, he whispered "Sleep" he ordered.

The man touched his hand and held it tightly "how can I be without you, you are my heart" he said.

"Thank you, even if I disappear I'm sure one day we'll meet again"

"You said I had to be sure, but now that you're making me doubtful," it felt sad, he looked back, the figure of the man standing in front of him slowly drifting away "I have to find another way, "I have to find another way, either way you can't give up" he murmured.

Several people were in the front yard of his house, one of them got out of the car while carrying a coffin, Anton entered the house along with the inspectors from the local police.

" I want to talk to Miss Lucie" said the police officer, as he looked into Anton's eyes and looked away.

" I'll ask him later, if he's willing I'll tell you back sir "Anton looked at Julian' you must have felt the same way as me ' he was telepathic with Julian.

" Sir please continue the search for evidence and I hope the culprit is arrested soon. I'm sorry to go out "after you've finished checking on Lucie's home location, she and Julian are out of there.

Anton saw Nikolas, he walked past him "There's nothing" he said, Nikolas touching Julian's shoulder

" Say something Juan. "

" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, "push Julian.

" Come on. What are you hiding from me "Nicholas embraces Julian and Anton's shoulders, Anton lowers his hands from his shoulders.

"Don't burden yourself father, I'd be happy if I could help you" his father saw his son's face "anything, including this?"

"It doesn't matter"

By late afternoon, Nicholas headed to the room where his father used to work. With deft hands, he managed to find the corpse documents quickly as well as his coffin. After he saw the contents of the document, his face immediately paled, he quickly opened the coffin, he quickly opened the coffin, how surprised he saw the body that turned out to be his father Lucie was in the coffin with a body condition many gunshot wounds and also a very deep incision.

Nicholas fell silent as he clenched his hand "Dad, what did you just do?" he's getting curious. The person he really did not want to meet appeared from behind him, he turned his head.

"Go away, I don't want to be disturbed by anyone," he turned to face the table, then put the document into its original place "now or whenever don't bother me"

"Are you scared? he'll find out soon enough, too"

"No, but I know you've told her," Nicholas approached her, whispering "this is why I don't like you so much."

"What's in it that I'm telling him? Hey, I know he's in hiding right now" Daniel knocks on his desk and turns to face him, "no one knows who the real eyewitness is, but I'm sure he's looking for her in every corner of town."

"Only my advice, whether you accept it or not, take him as far away as possible or go to my place? there was my friend who would protect her, she had a home, and whatever would make her happy and comfortable living there," Daniel handed her a piece of paper "He would never be able to reach her, unless your moves look weird. Here's his address and phone number, call him as soon as possible"

Daniel patted her on the shoulder, "I have to go, good luck"

"I won't do it" Nicholas stood facing him.

"It's all up to you" after being content to say that to him the man immediately walked out from before him. His hand scratched his head several times, he felt frustrated and also annoyed "Why is he always meddling?"

Sonya was pensive, she put down her plants carefully then took her camera enthusiastically, she took a photo of her plants, deleted her photos, then the next minute she went back to deleting the photos of her plants, she snorted annoyedly "how to get a good picture "

"It's easy, just do it many times after you will get satisfactory results" he said.

"I thought your answer would be like that, very unhelpful" her face pouted "What if you took the picture? lightening a friend's work is better than not helping, isn't it?" whispering seduces.

"What's the reward for me?" he expected his pay to be what he was thinking at the moment.

"Will I introduce my friend to you, he's an interesting person, I'm sure once you get to know him you'll be attracted to him" Sonya teased him again, Lucie again thought Sonya's offer as usual didn't really catch his attention.

"He has the same interest as you it seems to be about herbs" he said.

"When can I meet him then?" ask Lucie.

"Of course, as soon as possible"

After school, Sonya ran after Lucie who was far ahead of her. After successfully catching up with Lucie, Sonya said "She wants to see you soon"

"What?!" Lucie is shocked to hear Sonya's statement.

Sonya looked at Lucie's face, watching her closely as if finding something on her face.

"Is there something on my face?" his hands moved around his face.

"All right, I'll give you her phone number. I gave him your phone number before so there's a good chance he'll call you soon" Sonya whispered.

Lucie yells "Hey you haven't even asked my permission!"
