RHEANNE wakes up in a flash after Leila vanished.

"Rhei!" It was Max's voice that she immediately hears as he felt his arms around her.

All of them are thankful Rhei didn't get trapped in there.

"So what did you see, Rhei?" Gina asks.

"Darkness. I called for Leila and she did show up. She said that I'm probably IN her dream since she was sleeping in the otherworld." Rheanne replies.

"What did Leila told you?"

Rheanne completely remembered what Leila told her and it made her snuck into Max's arms.

"Rheanne, what did Leila told you?" Gina repeats the question.

"She and June saw what she looks like. Actually, multiple times. They were held as hostage by her." Rheanne says with a shaking voice and everyone's panicking rose.

"But you told her how to get back?"

"Yes. And knowing Leila, I know she won't waste time, and she and June are probably escaping now."

They all went down and silently waited by the apartment's main lobby.

"GET BACK HERE, MOTHERF*CKERS!" Both heard the anger in the woman's voice but both of them didn't bother to look back and continued running.

Since they are on the 9th floor and memorized the ways, as they are almost always in Jasper's apartment, the way out was no problem and they eventually spotted the elevator.

Both run faster and faster towards the elevator which June had left a mark.

They were running towards it, but the elevator seems to get far and far away.

But of course, they wouldn't give up.

"B*TCHES! GET BACK HERE!" The woman's voice is getting louder, clearer, and nearer.

June looks back to see that the woman is now fast approaching them. With this, June takes Leila's hands and run for their lives and with full determination to reach the elevator.

This time, they were now approaching the elevator and is able to reach it. Once they were in front of it, they press the button numerous times waiting for the elevator to open whilst watching the woman who is only a few meters away.

The door luckily open and the two got in. Leila kept pressing the close button whilst June is trying to press other floor buttons while still watching as the woman gets closer. And only a few feet away.

"Come on! Work!" June yells at the buttons.

And just as the woman is just two meters away, the door finally closes and they press the first-floor button.

The elevator did descend to the first floor. The door opens once it reaches the first floor. The surroundings are still dark so it means that they are still in the otherworld.

Leila presses the close button and the fourth-floor button and the door closes and ascends. Leila is in charge of the buttons whilst June is for the lookout.

The door opens on the fourth floor. June was about to calm down since nothing was there, but then he noticed that at the end of the very long hallway the woman stood there.

"Leila, let's be quick with this. She's here."

"On it," Leila says and closes the door and presses number two.

This time when the door opens, the woman moved a few steps forward. Then on the 6th floor, she moved closer. Then on the 2nd floor, she is already halfway by the hall. On the 10th floor, she is now just a few meters. And on the 5th floor, she is now running and is now getting closer to the elevator.

"Leila!! Close the door!"

"Wait I'm pressing the button multiple times already!"

"Leila she's getting near!"

"It won't work!!"

"Leila!!"

And just in time when the woman almost got in the elevator, the door had finally close. With this, Leila immediately presses the ground level but the elevator ascended.

"Ah, sh*t!" Leila began pressing other buttons aside from the ground level to make the elevator stop from going up. Luckily it did and so she presses the first-floor button again and this time the elevator descended.

Once the elevator reaches the ground level, June was about to go out when Leila stopped him.

"No. Something's not right," Leila says then they can see the door, and right outside, they saw that same woman peering in through the building.

With this, Leila immediately closes the doors. She waits a few seconds before opening the door again. This time, the surrounding is now bright and there are now a lot of people. June checks the time in his watch.

4:49 pm

This time, both are sure they are back and walks out of the elevator.

They saw their friends sitting in the lobby and was about to approach them when they heard a 'pst'.

"No. Let's not look back." Leila says firmly and indeed the two of them didn't look back.
