Chapter 12

SOMEONE WAS HUMMING a tune I've never heard before. An easing, silky voice which offered a sense of familiarity to it.

As if I had heard that voice before. . .

My eyes were closed but an image of someone I knew appeared in my mind. . .

Someone I knew really well. . .

Her almond-shaped, mahogany brown eyes filled with indistinct emotion. Her pinkish lips that always plasters an innocent smile. Her upturned nose, her short, black hair and squishy cheeks.

Kristoffer. . .

Her voice called out to me.

I slowly opened my eyes.

I found myself standing outside of a house which oddly looked like Leon's. I can hear muffled music coming from inside as I stood on the sidewalk, a bit hesitant to go in.

"Kristoffer. . ." I turned to face the person who called my name and was a bit taken aback to see a crying Elliana.

My forehead creased. Wait a minute. . .

This feels like deja vu. . .

Elli slowly approached me. With each step, my heart raced inside my chest.
