Little Girl Shadow

Sea took a syringe from her pocket, and she filled it with floor cleaner.

With a smile that contained many meanings, Sea walked over to Archer.

"Mr. Archer, are you ready?" asked Sea.

Archer looked very frightened.

"Hey, what are you going to do to me?!" shouted Archer.

"What do you think I would do?" Sea asked back with a grin.

"Please, Sea, please don't do that...." Archer shook his head with a trembling body.

Sea drew closer, scaring Archer even more.

"Please do not hurt me!" shouted Archer once more, but suddenly the lights in the room went out.

"Oh shit!" Sea was angry.

She looked like she saw a child running under the light switch.

"Clara! Is that you, honey?" shouted Sea.

She walked over and pressed the light switch again.

Soon the lights came on, and the room was bright again.

Right at that moment, Sea remembered something missing.

"Where's the syringe?" Sea looked around to find the whereabouts of the syringe.

"Ah, damn it! Where should I look?!" Sea started to get angry. Her face looked annoyed but that expression didn't last long and now Sea was smiling again.

"Ah, well ... Mr. Archer, maybe today you are not destined to die," said Sea with a smile.

And the woman turned towards the top floor.

Archer looked relieved, finally, Sea didn't kill him.

He looked at the sofa where there were a bunch of dry corpses lined up neatly like a family, Archer saw a syringe lying next to a child's corpse.

"Th-that's, really the syringe, right?" Archer looked confused. He blinked his eyelids repeatedly, he just wanted to make sure what he saw was right or wrong.

And now Archer was sure that what he saw was indeed the syringe, which Sea was looking for.

"Huh, how did the needle get there?" Archer looked very confused.

Although the atmosphere in the room was very dark, Archer should have seen Sea's movement as he approached the sofa, but what Archer saw Sea was walking in the opposite direction, he went to the light switch and turned it on.

And who put the syringe on the sofa was still a question for Archer.

Sea was in the living room, and she was standing in front of the window pane. The woman saw outside that Alice was chatting with Felix, Alice glanced at her many times. Sea was sure that Alice and Felix were talking about her.

"Sigh, Gossipers!" sneered Sea with a cynical face, Sea immediately closed the window curtains roughly. And the woman decided to go back to sitting on the sofa watching TV.

When things were so calm, Sea again saw a glimpse of the shadow of a small child who was running behind her.

"Ah, Clara! Go back to the basement and don't bother me!" Sea said.

"I don't know what your reason is, these few days you often appear and annoy Mother? Don't you already have a lot of friends in that room, huh?!"

Sea rubbed her forehead roughly, her face looked frustrated.

"Okay! Tomorrow Mother, will buy you a new doll, as your birthday present, Clara!" said Sea.

And she turned off the TV, "Today Mother, is tired, so please don't disturb me," complained Sea.

"Felix, will our restaurant have a party on Halloween day?" Alice asked.

"Of course, it's an annual event that we often do," said Felix.

"Wow, it must be really fun, huh? Does that mean we're off work?" Alice asked again.

"Haha! Of course not! We're still going to work! It's just, we dress up as we like!" Felix explained.

"Oh my God! I thought the event was just for us! But it turns out we just dress up as ghosts and keep working!" Alice groaned with pursed lips.

Felix looked excited to see her. He pinched Alice's face.

"Awh! It hurts... Felix!" Alice shouted, holding her face.

"Haha! After all, you are so adorable!" Felix teased.

"Oh, you!" Alice rushed into the house, and Felix also followed behind.

"Felix, what do you want to drink? Let me make it!" Alice asked.

"As you wish, Alice!" said Felix.

"Okay,"

Alice rushed into the kitchen and Felix, waiting for her while sitting on the sofa.

The man reached into his sweater pocket.

Felix smiled as he looked at the small box he had just taken out of his pocket.

He looked at her intently, "Hope you like it, Alice," Felix muttered with a hopeful smile.

Soon Alice came out carrying a tray of two cups of warm drinks.

"Here, drink it! Sorry, I don't have a snack for coffee," said Alice.

"Ah yes, it's okay, really,"

Felix immediately put the box back in his pocket.

"What's that?" Alice asked, and Felix quickly shook his head.

"It's nothing!" Felix said trying to cover it up. The little box contained the ring he was going to give to Alice.

"Felix, how about your friend who is a member of the police force?" Alice asked changing the subject.

"Ah, I dunno, Alice. After that incident, I lost contact. I lost my cell phone!" Felix replied.

"Ah, yeah! I forgot that you just lost your cell phone," said Alice, "though I was waiting to hear from your friend," Alice said hopefully.

"Later, I will try to ask for the number via direct message," said Felix.

"Ah, well. Hopefully Livy and my brother-in-law Archer can be found soon,"

"Yeah, I hope so, Alice," Felix stroked Alice's hair for a moment.

While sipping his coffee Felix seemed hesitant to pass the box to Alice.

Felix is ​​very afraid that Alice will refuse his gift, especially if Alice finds out that Felix likes him.

Felix still remembers Alice's words saying that she wants to be alone for now. Of course, his hopes for a relationship with Alice were very slim.

"Felix, I see you can't calm down since earlier, you even glanced at your pocket several times. What's in your pocket?" Alice asked.

"Eh, it's nothing!" denied Felix.

"But I'm very curious about what you have in your pocket!" Alice insisted.

"Eh, you don't have to be curious, Alice! It's nothing!" said Felix who was starting to panic.

"Oh, really?!" Alice smiled slyly, and as she walked over to Felix, she was about to see what was in the man's pocket.

"I'm curious!" Alice smirked triumphantly as her hand found a small box in Felix's pocket, "what is this?"

"N-no, Alice!"

"Is this a ring?"

"N-n-no!?"
