Love Began with the First Meeting

"No! No, please... no... please..."

The sobbing continued. Molly was horrified and mumbling in her sleep. Her lips were dry, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face was twisted in pain.

The mumblings left her mouth continuously. She closed her eyes even more fiercely and shook her head uneasily.

A sudden, frightened scream broke the silence of the house, piercing the darkness all over. Molly abruptly sat up, woken from her slumber by a monstrous nightmare. Her chest heaved as she gasped for air and breathed deeply.

Slowly, she tried to compose herself and gulped. Although she was still hazy from her terrifying incubus, she scanned her surroundings.

The room was decorated mainly in white and purple, which somehow helped her calm down and feel at ease. The design inside wasn't fussy. Rather, it was a simple decoration that showed the owner enjoyed simplicity and freedom, but was also arrogant at the same time.

Immersed in her thoughts, Molly tightly compressed her lips together. As the memory of everything that had happened the night before came to her, her face suddenly went pale. She was wondering how she had gotten into this bed. The last thing she remembered was having a blackout and fainting. Everything beyond that was blank.
