The Secrets Behind Exchanging Souls

Episode 5's

I felt heavy all over my body.My hands and feet were hard for me to move. A white shadow stood in front of me. The longer the white shadow gets closer to me. I cannot escape, my body legs are like a statue.

Not just one, another white shadow shadow started to appear. The shadow surrounds and circles me. I'm like the center for them to turn. My tongue can't scream. I screamed with all my might, but even a little voice was nil to get out.

From far away I saw Liam just silently watching me. I looked at Liam so he could help me. Liam just silently watched me without acting. Over time, Liam slowly began to turn into white smoke and join the white shadow that was still circling me. Not only did it rotate, the white shadow also let out a loud sound that made my ears hurt. The longer the color of the shadow turns dark until it is finally black.

I tried to scream as hard as I could. I was shocked and woke up, apparently I was still on set. I saw Dion busy struggling with papers strewn across the table. What happened, what was just a dream. I've never dreamed of this before, the nightmare almost traumatized me.

"You okay Reyna? " ask Dion to me.

"I'm okay Dion, I just had a nightmare"

"It's so bad that you dream to the point that your shirt is soaked in sweat" Dion thrust a tissue at me

"Very bad Dion, I dreamt many white shadows surrounded me. The longer the shadow turns to black. Just think about it I'm still afraid of Dion"

"You better be careful Reyna, maybe that's a bad sign for you"

"What bad sign?, don't you try to scare me Dion"

"I'm not scaring you, Reyna, I'm just giving you advice to be careful"

I just kept quiet about Dion's words. I think what Dion said has a point. There is no harm from now on I will be careful and remain vigilant.

"Let's Reyna, it's time to shoot" Dion told me.

I walked slowly to the set, until suddenly a little boy hit me and fell. I helped him to stand up.

"Sorry, are you okay? " ask me while helping him to stand up.

The little boy did not answer and kept his head down. I patted her dirty clothes. The boy immediately ran away leaving me without saying anything. While running, a bracelet fell out of the little boy's pocket. I took the falling bracelet, I chased the boy to return the dropped bracelet from his pocket.

The little boy ran down the aisle, I followed him from behind. I asked Liam if he saw a child running towards Liam Street. However, Liam did not find anyone going through the road.

"Are you sure Liam, didn't see the little boy running this way? " ask me once more to convince Liam.

"I'm sure Reyna, do we need to look at the CCTV to make you believe me if there's no one here but me and you're Reyna" Liam said, confident in his words.

"Here you go, everyone is waiting for you, now you focus first on Reyna's work" Liam embraced and led me to the set. I'm still looking for where the little boy ran. Don't forget I hooked the dropped bracelet on my phone hanger so it wouldn't go away.

...****************...

Fighting acting in front of Liam is really difficult for me. Everything I do is always wrong, Liam said. I don't understand where I'm doing wrong. I think I've done well, and tried as much as possible. All my efforts have ended in vain. has a lot of take I did, but none of it is appropriate in Liam's heart.

In my delusion Liam would be astonished to see my prowess in acting. However, instead I was further humbled by Liam in front of all the staff. Andrew patted me on the back to cheer me on.

"Reyna's patience, Liam is a very perfectionist, he won't stop until he gets a satisfactory result" I just lowered my head as Andrew cheered me on. I held back the tears in my eyes.

"Reyna you take a break for a while, it seems you're tired" Liam cried to me.

I stared and stayed in the toilet room. I heard he was the staff man talking about me. I listened carefully to what they were talking about.

"I feel really sorry for Reyna" said one of the women

"Why do you feel sorry for her, she just never looks at us" the other woman replied

"True, honestly I was a little calm Reyna was scolded by Mr. Liam, at least she could be self-conscious" the two women laughed mockingly at me.

I came out of the bathroom to approach those who were looking in the mirror. Those who suddenly stopped laughing when they saw me.

"Why do you guys stop laughing, just continue your conversation, let's just say I'm not here" I fixed my lipstick.

"Sorry, we're leaving first" they left in a hurry to leave me.

"Why are they afraid of me, is my face creepy"

I who felt calmer, returned to the location to continue the scene that had been delayed. Andrew smiled at me, he also gave a word of encouragement. I who had started to believe myself refocused on taking the scene.

"Cut" shouted Liam again stopping the scene.

"What's wrong with you Reyna, why is it so hard for you to do such an easy scene like this, you can only mess with Reyna's project, you're not needed for this project" Liam kicked the table and left the location.

I just kept quiet to hear Liam's babbling. I think I did it right. The scene that was repeated was very simple, in the script I just came to Andrew who was sitting waiting for me in the park.

That simple scene, it has been repeated for approximately 2 hours. I checked the footage of the scene we were doing over and over again. I don't think I made any mistakes, but why is Liam so mad at me. Did I have any other mistakes with him.

I looked for Liam to ask him for an explanation. The point of this problem is Liam. I think Liam now has a problem that cannot be discussed.

"Are you having Liam's problem, honestly my heart ached when you saw me earlier Liam" I said calmly to Liam

"I don't have Reyna's problem, everything is fine" Liam replied to me nonchalantly.

"Are you sure Liam"

"Yes"

"I can't believe you must have another problem Liam"

"Why do you keep asking Reyna, well I'll be honest now. If you ask me I have a problem, yes I have a problem and that problem is you Reyna"

"I? "

"Yes you're Reyna, you don't deserve to be here at all, Julia deserves more than you" Liam spoke with a very high intonation. As long as I knew Liam, this was the first time I had seen the other side of Liam.

"Julia?" I am calm and do not want to be carried away by emotions.

"Yes Reyna, Julia deserves better than you"
