"I didn't mean to spy on you two but I just wanted to make sure that no major misunderstanding occurs between the both of you so I followed behind him when he went after you, come to think of it, he didn't even notice that I was following him because his head was too occupied with finding you," Huo Mei said teasingly, she definitely knew that Huo Ying would be embarrassed to know that she actually spied on them and that was what she wanted.

"you just spoilt the fun, how could you have watched us do...do that," Huo Ying complained in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I didn't watch you both to the end, I left immediately I saw you two kiss, so you still have a lot to tell me, so...how long did it go on for?" 

"What...what are you saying?" Huo Ying asked in embarrassment with her cheeks flushed red.

"Why? you were the one who brought me here to tell me about it, are you now embarrassed?" she enjoyed seeing this girly side of her, she couldn't remember when last she seemed as happy as this, it seemed to her that Huo Qiang is perhaps the only one who can make her like this and of course, her sister, thinking about it now, she didn't want to imagine what would happen if they end up separating, that is if they are even in a relationship already since they are both slow.

"I really can't be bothered to argue with you, anyways, after we kissed, he apologized for walking out on me after we accidentally kissed," she paused for a moment remembering that she didn't fill Huo Mei in when that happened.

"Oh I forgot, I didn't tell you about it," she said with her face showing that she felt bad for not doing so even though she has always told Huo Mei everything.

"I am still crossed at you for not telling me about that, Huo Qiang already told me about it so continue your story," Huo Mei responded, looking cross.

"He really does know that he did wrong, he...he...he" then she smiled shyly and covered her face, she couldn't hold in the excitement when she remembers him telling her that she is his woman and he is now her man.

She jumped on the bed and covered her herself with the duvet, Huo mei shook her head and kissed her teeth knowing that she is really over-excited by his confession, she pulled the duvet away from her and pulled her up.

"Could it be that you two went farther than you should?" Huo Mei questioned in doubt, seeing as she was reacting.

"Of course not!"Huo Ying quickly snapped before her imagination goes further, remembering the awkwardness between them before he left, Huo Mei took in a sharp breath in relief that they didn't cross the boundaries.

"We are now officially together now, I really can't tell me how excited I am right now, I was so angry and furious when I thought he didn't love me because he walked out on our kiss, Huo Mei, you wouldn't understand how painful it was for me,"

"But still, you shouldn't have not listened to him, you had better pray that no one discovers his injury," Huo Mei reminded with a scolding look.

"You just had to bring that up, I really didn't want to remember I did that to him," Huo Ying said, biting her lower lip in guilt.

"tch! I really don't understand why he was still willing to go after you even though you made him seriously injured," Huo Mei responded to make her feel even more guilty so she won't do something as stupid as that next time.

"Because he loves me," Huo Ying narcissistically answered, Huo mei scoffed her newfound confidence, she was now beginning to wonder if she did the wrong thing by asking Huo Qiang to go after her, she nodded her head seeing that she has really turned upside down all because of his confession.

"I am sleeping," Huo Ying said then she covered herself with the duvet before Huo Mei could even say anything with her face filled with smiles while she chuckled in excitement, Huo Mei nodded her head again and lied next to her, facing Huo Ying's back, but Huo Ying turned to her front and wrapped her arms around her, it was clear that she might not be able to fall asleep if she keeps thinking of all that transpired between her and Huo Qiang.

Parallel world.

She frantically turned from one side to another in her sleep with her forehead sweating profusely, it was clear that she was having an unpleasant dream, she clutched the duvet tightly with her face showing a terrified expression and her head moving from left to right and vice versa.

Her dream started as a sweet and lovely one but it all changed drastically when the whole place seemed to be on fire...

- - - - - - - - -

Back to the ancient parallel world.

She scrunched up her face as she turned left to right and vice versa frantically, her arms that were originally wrapped around Su Ci were now clutching Su Ci's dress around her neck, the poor girl wasn't even feeling that someone was pulling her cloth because she was already fast asleep.

Her forehead had already been covered with sweat and her long red hair scattered over her shoulder and the bed.

- - - - - Both of them were having the same dream.

A little girl walked into the garden filled with pink flowers which they both recognised as cherry blossoms, both girls seemed happy upon entering the beautiful garden that seemed nothing less than pretty, vibrant and colourful. Both girls ran around the garden with their laughter echoing all over the garden until the girl who had gloves on her hand dropped the gloves.

The whole garden was engulfed in fire, the little girl who set the garden on fire, looked around her in fear, she seemed horrified and terrified of her self, she quickly found he gloves and wore it back but the damage had already been done.

She ran around the garden.

"Sister! Sister!" calling out her sister but she didn't get any answers.

"Huo Lan," the little girl turned around when she heard her name but was shocked to see that the person who called her is herself, she still had a confused look on her face until the duplicated version of herself stated duplicating until it formed ten identical figures.

She looked at the girls standing in front of her with looks and figures that are identical to hers with confusion.

"You are a monster" the first identical image said with sinister and accusing voice, the little girl became terrified of herself when she heard the image of herself calling her a monster, she shook her head frantically in Denial.

"No! I am not Monster," she yelled but the images had a mocking look on their faces with sinister curves on their lips, another one moved closer to her and walked around her.

"If you are not a monster then why did you burn your sister to death?" the image accused still walking around her, the little girl turned back to look at the image with a terrifies look in her eyes.

"I didn't, I didn't,I am not a monster," she snapped back but they started laughing all of a sudden, the next thing the little girl could see is a body of a young girl lying on the floor with her face utterly destroyed and unidentifiable, she fell to the ground in horror and covered her mouth.

"That....that is not my sister,"

"How can you be sure about that When she is lying right in front of you? you have been deceiving yourself all along, you are nothing but monster," another one of the image accused but the little girl closed her eyes and lowered her head with her eyes shut.

"Why else do you think you are being kept in a room all by yourself but your sister isn't, everyone is afraid of you," another one accused, their voices were getting louder and echoing the garden making her more terrified. Then they started circling her with their voice getting louder with every seconds.

"You are monster!" they chanted while she just kept shaking her head in denial and crying, she clutched her ear tightly to prevent their accusing voice from travelling into her ear but she just couldn't stop it.

"I m not a monster!" she roared

- - - - -

Parallel world.

"I am not monster!" she yelled as her body jerked up on the bed, she widened her eyes, breathing irregularly and faster and her chest rising up and down.

she sat up on her bed and switched on the bed lamp beside bed and took in a deep breath, she hasn't had the dreams for a long time so she had originally thought that she didn't have any reason to worry about the dream anymore.

She cupped her face in her hand while she tried to slow down her breathing and calm herself down.

She felt like she is the little girl in the dream, she could feel how terrified and guilty the little girl felt and the taunting voice of the replicated images of the girl made her feel even worse.

She pulled the duvet away from her body and stood up from the bed, she walked into the bathroom and washed her face with the cold water running from the tap and the sweat on her forehead washing away.

She raised her head to look at her self in the mirror then she sighed, the one thing that troubled her before had already returned and the dreams seemed even more vivid than it felt before.

The fact that dream didn't feel like a normal nightmare but one where she feels the emotions of the people in her dreams makes her feel like she is losing her mind, she might not think much of it if the setting of the dream is a modern world but her dreams are set in an ancient world and that makes it even much worse.

She stopped contacting the psychologist after she stopped having the dreams but now, she felt the dire need to visit him again.

She pushed her Mickey Mouse hairband back to her hair and dried her face with the white towel hanging on the door and returned to her bed.

- - - - -

"I am not a monster!" She sprung up from her bed, pulling Su Ci up with her, breathing heavily and panting with sweats breaking out on her forehead, Su Ci who was startled when she was suddenly pulled up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and sighed, she knew it had happened again.

"Young mistress, are you still having the same dream," Su Ci questioned with worry and concern written on her face, ever since her young mistress left the underground cave, she has been having the same dream ever since she met Lin Bohai. She nodded innocently to her question while Su Ci removed a handkerchief from her sleeve and used it to wipe her sweats.

"Young mistress, I don't know what happened to you when you left the cave but you should really try to forget it, if you keep having these nightmares, you might fall sick," Su Ci said, while she patted her hair down to make her relaxed.

"hmmmn," Huo Lan replied with a nod, then she pulled her back to lie down and covered her with the duvet with her hand still patting her to sleep.

Meanwhile, Bohai who had been sitting on a rock above the cave was watching the cave the entire night, she is the only means of his comfort even though he can't see her, watching the cave is enough to make the despair and frustration he is feeling disappear even if it is just for a moment.

He fixed his eyes on the cave with longing filling his eyes, he brought out the blue flute from his sleeve and positioned it close to his mouth to play it, as soon as he started playing it, the sweet melody from the flute filled the air, even he was mesmerized by his own music.

Huo Lan who was still finding it hard to sleep found her urge to sleep as the faint sound of the flute travelled into her ear, she fluttered her lashes in drowsiness then she finally gave in to her desire to sleep, closing her eyes.
