AAARRCHU!!! Someone sneezed so loudly. It jerked Doctor Simeon who was about injecting a patient with a syringe.
"Argh!" He muttered with a growl.
Simeon arched his brows before turning around. His eyes caught with two Nurses. Lilian and Rita.
He knew who sneezed. It was obvious since it happened occasionally. "I'm sorry sir" Rita muttered trying to cover her mouth.
Another one was coming. She couldn't hold it. The upcoming sneeze was too much for her to bear. Her eyes even became teary.
Simeon looked around and sighted the vase which had flowers in them. "Lilian?" He called in a frustrated voice.
"Yes Sir? She looked at him and quickly took her head low.
"Who bought in the flowers?"
"A patient" Lilian replied.
"Who? I know it's a patient but who?" He looked really angry. His gaze could tell it.
Arrchuuu!!! Rita's sneeze came again.
"I'm sorry!" She yelped.
"Uurgh! Lilian, Take the flowers out"
"Sir?"
"You heard me. I can't have her disturbing my peace!"
"The patient might get angry. She's the one asleep" Lilian pointed at a young girl who slept silently on the bed.
"Who cares-
"Sir?...I'm just gonna leave" Rita voice came, which interrupted Dr Simeon.
Simeon looked at her. "What did you say?"
"I'm gonna leave. I don't wanna be the reason for the flowers disappearance" Rita spoke slowly with her eyes looking down.
He rubbed his face and gave out a loud sigh.
"Sometimes, If you can't face your allergies! Quit the job! Stop wasting my time and money!!!" He barked. Rita shivered.
She felt he was was right. This annoying allergy!.
"Leave" He heard him say.
"I'm gonna call you in tomorrow, In a more comfortable room" His voice became calm.
"Thank you sir" Rita muttered. She bowed before leaving.
"Let's continue, Lilian" He quickly looked at her and looked away.

"What a long day" Rita shook her head as she slowly changed into her normal clothing. A jersey and jean trousers.
She opened her wardrobe and kept her Nursing uniform before walking out.
As she walked in the corridor, She took her steps slowly. Rita suddenly stopped and unlocked the door before her. The room was very dark and huge.
It looked like a forgotten room. The curtain hung above the window looked scary and haggard.
It was torn and dark. It almost looked like a hallowen custome. Rita breathed heavily as she continued walking. As soon as she reached the huge bed side, She stopped.
Rita looked at the bed. On it, was a woman whose eyes were closed. She looked like someone who was in her late 40s. "Mum" Rita whispered to her.
Her Mother was rather quiet. She didn't say a thing. "Mum?" Rita whispered again as she tried to touch her face with her hand.
Suddenly, and with a mighty rush, The woman opened her eyes and grabbed her arm. "Oww" Rita whimpered.
"Who are you?!" The woman growled.
"Mum! Please, Let go of my arm" Rita cried.
"Mum???? How dare you call me that!! I'm the Only First Queen in whole of Petal Land!!" She growled again gritting her teeth in fury. Her eyes brought out flames as she spoke. She really looked scary.
"Mum, Its hurts, please! I just came to check on you, That's all" Rita tears continued falling.
"Stop calling me Mum!!!, How can a 20 year old Queen like I, Give birth to a 50 Year old Monstrous being like you!"
"Please, Let me go!" Rita tried pulling her hand away but her Mother was stronger. The more Rita tried, The more she got hurt.
"It's me! It's me Rita" She continued crying.
The woman titled her head looking at Rita strangely. "Remember me? It's me, Your Daughter?" Rita touched her chest, nodding her head vigorously.
"Arghhhh!!" Rita's Mother, Mrs Anderson roared loudly and scarily.
She quickly seized her by the neck and began to choke and strangle her.
"No...Don't" Rita pleaded as she tried pulling her Mother's strong heavy hand from her neck.
Rita was trying hard to breathe. "Mum, Please" Rita muttered. Her voice could hardly be heard.
Her tears dropped, and one fell down from her eye to her Mother's hand which was still tightly clenching her neck.
"Ah" Mrs Anderson suddenly screamed pulling her hand away.
"Mu...m" Rita coughed realizing she had come back to her normal senses. Mrs Anderson jumped on the bed and tightly held herself.
"Go!" She yelled in tears as she saw Rita came close to her.
"Mum?"
"Go...Please" Mrs Anderson cried.
"I don't wanna hurt you" She took her face away.
"I'm fine Mum. It's not your fault" Rita coughed again. She gently tapped her chest, clearing her throat as she continued taking steps towards her Mother.
"Don't come close, Rita!!" Her Mother yelled loudly which made Rita tremble in fear.
"I'm Serious!!. If you do, I'm gonna chase you out with Flowers. You're still allergic to them, Right?"
Rita looked at her. Sadness were written on the both faces. "Mum, Please-
"You wouldn't want to feel irritated right? So, Leave me alone. Let me stay in this crooked hell psycho room. Leave this psychoath alone!"
"Stop!" Rita yelled back.
"You're my Mum! Not a Psychopath!" She felt tears leave her eyes.
"Just Leave. I don't wanna argue much with you. Leave now, before I change again. Leave before I bring out the flowers" Mrs Anderson warned as she slowly rested her head back on the bed.
Rita looked down sadly and took one last look at her Mum before stepping out.
"I'm sorry, My baby. Forgive mama for she doesn't know what she's doing" Mrs Anderson whispered crying silently which made it wet the pillow. Darkness settled down on the room as she cried more.
Seconds later, She heard the door getting locked. Locked with chains, and huge locks.

"Today is just not my day" Rita shook her head as she walked down the busy street of Seoul.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Her phone rang out loudly. She sniffed, and brought out her phone from her bag gently.
Looking at the screen, A face brightened up with a smile. "Chelsea?" She gushed as soon as received the call.
"What's up?" She added.
"Let's party tonight b**ch!" She heard Chelsea yell with a laugh.
"Damn! Don't tell me you got the job?!" Rita bulged her eyes.
"Yeah! Yeah! I did"
"Whoaa!! This calls for a celebration!" Rita smiled. She could hear the loud music coming from the speakers.
Rita already knew Chelsea must be having fun on her own, jumping and dancing round the whole room.
"Come home fast, Okay?" Chelsea chuckled
"I am. I'm on my way" Rita smiled
"Thank Goodness you aren't on night shift"
"I wouldn't be so glad" Rita said.
"Since Tonight is my Night. I need you to do a favor for me"
"What's that?" Rita asked, which caused her to stop walking briefly.
"Where are you now?" Chelsea asked.
"On my way" Rita continued walking.
"Nah. Where? Where?"
"Uhmm...Beside The Salon" Rita stopped again and looked around.
"Good. Please get Soju and Pork!"
"Chelsea?" Rita rolled her eyes, as she walked a bit slower.
"Come on! It's my day" Chelsea chortled.
"Sure. It calls for a celebration. Okay then, See you later"
"Yeah Babe" Chelsea smiled.
"Hold on!!" She suddenly yelled.
"What? What?" Rita asked frightened, by the way her voice suddenly got high-pitched .
"I've got gist for you!" Chelsea laughed as she bumped on the sofa.
"Really? What's that"
"We've got a Cutie and Hottie as our new Neighbors"
"Neighbors? Someone packed in already"
"Sure! Two guys! A Cutie and A Hottie!"
"Oh wow. I'm close to the resturant now. Let's talk about it later when I get home?"
"Sure"
"Okay then. Bye"
"Bye" Chelsea said before ending the call.

Rita held the black polythene bag tightly as she entered the elevator. It was about to close when she saw a Handsome Man running close to her.
"Please Wait!" She heard his thick sexy voice come out from his smooth fresh baked lips.
"Oh wow" Rita swallowed hard, already drooling over him.
She quickly pressed a button. The elevator didn't move anymore. Instead, It opened wider.
Rita slowly watched the Hot Guy enter the elevator.
"Sorry if- He tried talking.
"No! Oh no... It's fine. I'm gonna close it now" Rita smiled pressing the button again.
He simply smiled and gave a nod. Rita looked forward and kept stealing glances at him.
She suddenly felt her nose acting a little funny.
What was going on? She couldn't apprehend though it looked really familiar. It only happened if she wanted to sneeze and that, thanks to Flowers.
"Excuse me?" She called. The Man looked at her.
"What floor are you going to?" She scratched her nose.
"5" He replied. Rita smiled happily.
"Sam- ARCHUUUU!! The strong loud sneeze came out cutting her words strongly.
"What?? What's this? Why??" She looked around shocked, but saw no flowers. Rita found herself sneezing again. Surprisedly, It didn't stop.
"Are you okay?" He looked at her worriedly. Rita was already hurting due to the excessive sneezing. She couldn't phantom what was going on.
"Archuuu!!!" She sneezed loudly at his handsome face. He quickly closed his eyes feeling her spittle on his face.
"Oh my!! She yelled closing her mouth with her palm in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry" She muttered.
"Its Okay" He slowly opened his eyes but-
ARCHUUUUUUU
No....Not again...What the hell. ARCHUUU!!!!
Rita lifted her face slowly to him. "Flowe- Archuu!"
The guy sighed in relief immediately he heard the elevator chime.
"I'm...gonna be leaving" He stuttered aa he hurriedly left the Elevator.
Rita sat down on the elevator still sneezing helplessly. "That Jerk" She muttered.
"Why did he leave me on my own!! He could have helped me!" Rita snorted loudly looking around.
"Where's that goddamn flowers!!" She cussed under her breath.
"Oh Goodness!" She sniffed standing up gently. Rita looked around.
"What's this?" She questioned to herself puzzled.
"Why did I stop sneezing?,,Is that Invisible Flower gone?....This is so weird" She shook her head before stepping out of the elevator.
*

*

"Yay!!!" Chelsea shouted as she hurried to Rita.
"Thank you b**ch" She winked taking the black polythene bag from her.
"Now Rita, Let's party all night-
"No. I think I'm gonna pass" Rita muttered, shaking her head.
"Wh..What?, Why? Weren't you the one that said we would have a party?" Chelsea frowned.
"I am sick" Was all Rita could mutter. She kept on sniffing and breathing hard.
"Hey, You okay?" Chelsea noticed her, properly now. She slowly dropped the bag on the table and walked to her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked now looking worried. She saw how sick Rita's face was, and she didn't like it.
"I don't know. I think-
"Flowers? You saw Flowers?" Chelsea eyes bulged out. She already knew the reason since they were close and best friends.
"No...I didn't"
"Then what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know. I just started sneeezing down at the Elevator"
"Why? Did someone put flowers in there"
"I doubt"
"Goodness. You look really sick. Seems you've been sneezing like forever"
Rita nodded. Chelsea sighed and took the back of her palm to her forehead.
"Ouch!!" Chelsea exclaimed
"Rita, Your temperature has gone over boiling point!!... Come over here. Lay down"
Rita obeyed and laid down on the sofa. Chelsea brought out a duvet and carefully wrapped it around her vibrating body.
"Hold on. I'm gonna go get drugs for you. Also, I might check around in the elevator incase I see flowers"
"Sure. Thank you Chelsea" Rita smiled whispering.
"Don't mention. Just rest okay? Besides, You've done a lot for me. You allowed me,.stay at your place then, despite not knowing me fully well"
"You needed help then. I couldn't just walk past you. Seeing you walk with your luggages that day in the rain with no place to stay troubled me. I'm glad i took you in. You are the best girl friend ever"
Chelsea smiled. "Rest Babe. You don't want me blushing all night"
"Okay then. Go on, I'm gonna be waiting" Rita nodded. Chelsea waved at her, wore her slippers and walked out, through the door.
Chelsea went into the elevator which took her downstairs in no time.
Surprisedly, She saw no flowers. The elevator opened and Chelsea began to run out of it, then out of the huge premises.
She slowed down a bit when her eyes caught with a Young Handsome Guy who had a blue and black headphone around his neck. He was guiding his bicycle as he walked.
Chelsea smiled and stood abruptly. "Damn...It's the Cutie" She whispered to herself.
Chelsea gulped hard immediately she saw him walk towards her.
"Hi" He stared at her while talking calmly.
Chelsea smiled, almost blushing. "Hello"
"I'm your new neighbor right?" He smiled.
Chelsea nodded "I saw you and the Hottie- Chelsea gasped.
"I mean I saw you and your....who is he?"
"The one you saw me with earlier, packing in?" He asked.
Chelsea just nodded.
"He's my brother" He replied exposing his white set of teeth.
He smiled so cute that it made Chelsea lost in thought.
"Oh my. Such a Cutie" She blurted without realization.
"Pardon?" He looked at her with widened eyes.
"Huh?? No....Uhmmm...I'm your new neighbor, I saw you and your brother moving in then" She tittered.
Chelsea felt so embarrassed already.
"Yeah, You were the one I saw then. I was having my doubts. Please, I wanna ask. Where can I drop my bicycle?"
Chelsea took her eyes to the black and purple bicycle before her. It looked good, no doubt.
"You can keep it outside here" She pointed at a space.
"No" He chuckled.
"Why not?" She raised her brows.
"I treasure this so much. Don't you have a garage h-
"Treasure?" Chelsea scoffed, cutting him off.
"Eh?" He folded his lips, as he brought his face closer.
"Why? Did your girlfriend get it for you?"
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, You heard it right. Girlfriend!. She bought for you huh?" Chelsea folded her arms gazing at him.
"I don't know what you're talking. I don't have a girlfriend"
"Huh?" Chelsea found herself smiling.
"You don't have a girlfriend?"
"Yup...Never dated before too" He scratched his head quite embarrassed.
"Me too!!" She gushed filled with smiles.
"I guess we are alike after all" He chuckled.
"Yeah. What's your name by the way?" She blinked her eyes.
"Dan" He replied.
"Nice. I'm Chelsea. Nice to meet you" She brought her arm forward for an handshake.
"Nice to meet you as well" He accepted the handshake.
"So, How old are you. 23?" She smiled breaking the handshake. Dan smiled.
"Do I look 23?" He asked with a smile still on his face.
"You look young though but not younger than me. I'm 22" She smiled.
"Well, I'm 21"
"Huh?" She widened her eyes in surprise.
"Hope I didn't shock y-
"Oh no! Rita! I forgot! We are gonna chat later. Bye!" She suddenly remembered.
She waved to him and left quickly.
"Huh? Wait...What of the garage? Oh, Well" Dan shrugged his shoulders as he slowly walked into the elevator.

Dan got down from it as soon the elevator took him upstairs. He slowly opened the door and pushed the bicycle inside.
"You're late" He heard a voice. He looked and met his brother who looked much older than him. Our Hottie.
Dan smiled."You cooking?" He asked.
"Sure. No food for a lazy man they say"
"You're right" Dan chuckled.
"Your bicycle shouldn't be here" He frowned.
"Come on, Alfred. You know how much I cherish this item. Do this for me, huh? Please, Let me keep it here" Dan said, acting cute.
"You can" Alfred laughed.
"Thanks Bro. You're the best!"
"I know right"
"Oh, Dan!!"
"Yes Bro?"
"Hunhh? Did you see a weird girl?"
"Weird?"
"Yeah...She kept sneezing out spittles like some freak" Alfred shrugged his shoulders.
"Nah. I didn't meet any so called Weird Freak" Dan replied laughing.
"Okay then" Alfred nodded. He tasted the stew by putting a little on his hand with the huge spoon.
"If you say so" He added.
"Geez!!!" Alfred screamed loudly.
"What's wrong?" Dan nearly jumped.
"I forgot the ketchup at my old place. That is one of the important ingredient needed for the completion of the meal. Damn!!"
"Huh..I can help you get it if you don't mind" Dan smiled.
"No...I just need a little" Alfred shook his head.
"I'm gonna bring it tomorrow. We still have few things to take out from our old place, you know?"
"You're right" Dan agreed.
"So, What are you gonna do now? Cook it that way?" Dan questioned
"Hello No!" Alfred exclaimed.
"Huh? But we have no Ketchup" Dan confusedly looked at him.
"Yeah. But we've got Neighbors. That weird Sneezing Girl lives next door"
"Oh...Should I go ask her for some?" Dan asked.
"No. She doesn't know you but she does know me. I'm gonna give her a try" Alfred smiled as he slowly pulled off his kitchen apron.
"Bro? You haven't showered yet?" Dan asked as Alfred walked past him.
"Yeah. Why?" Alfred looked at him.
"I smell the strong flowers scents all over you" Dan sniffed.
"It's a wonderful fragrance" He added.
"That's one merits of being a Florist(Someone that buys and Sells Flowers). You get to have that wonderful fragrance coming from your body due to Flowers"
Dan smiled. "You're right"
Alfred smiled back, gave him a V finger before leaving.

Rita was already feeling feverish. She shivered badly.
"Damn, Chelsea. Where the hell are y-
She couldn't complete her statement after hearing the interrupting door bell ring. "Has she forgotten the door lock code or what?" Rita slowly stood up.
She dragged her feet as she walked to the door. With both hands, She pulled the door and it opened.
Lo and Behold, It was Mr Hottie.
"Huh? It's you again. What are you doing here?" She looked at him in surprise.
"Hmm. Sorry but do you have ket-
ARCHUUUU!!!
"No! No! Not again!! Why do I keep sneezing when I'm with him?...Was he probably a flower from his past life? This is so embarrassing" Rita thought shaking her head as she tried holding her sneeze.
"You still sneezing?" Alfred looked at her worriedly.
"Archuuu!!" It came again.
"Owww!" Rita whimpered painfully holding her chest tightly. The Hard Sneezes were now affecting her chest so hard.
"What's wrong? You okay?" Alfred asked concerned trying to take steps towards her.
"Archuuu! Archuuu!! Archuuu!!!....Stop!! Stop!!! Don't walk towards me!" She gestured him with a arm. The other was still grabbing her hurting chest tightly.
"What?" Alfred asked puzzled.
"Don't...Archu!...come...Archu!!...closer....Archuuu!!!...You Freaking Flower Ghost!!!" She yelled.
"Excuse me?"
"AAAAAAARCHHUUUUU!!"
Oh God!!!
"Pardon?" Alfred looked, annoyingly at her. Rita looked back at him, still trying to get herself. She closed her mouth with her palm trying to cool off.
"I think I'm sneezing cause of you. I don't understand why but I think you should leave" She sniffed trying to close the door on his face.
Alfred scoffed and quickly held the door. It made Rita quite upset. "Let go...Archuuu!! of the door" She almost raised her voice.
"Don't you think you're being too rude" He looked at her.
Rita sighed and shook her head "You would Archuuu!! never understand Archuuu!!"
"Okay...Let's say I don't understand-
"Archuuu!!!....Not again!! Please, Leave"
Alfred sighed and took his hand off the door. Rita was able to shut the door now and she did it very loudly.
"Girl Next Door" He called from the outside.
"Girl Next Door? Who?" Rita retorted quite surprised.
"You, Of course. You never told me your name remember?"
"I don't wanna to"
"It's nice to meet you, anyways" He chuckled.
"Well, Same here"
"Uhmm, So, Why did you call me that, then?"
"What?" Her Voice came again.
"Flower Ghost"
"Flower Ghost? Ah!" She shrieked.
"I'm sorry. I was just quite out of it..I didn't know what came over me. Since I saw no flowers, I thought you had some kinda flower my eyes couldn't see. That was why I flared up and called you that. I'm sorry if it hurt you"
"Nah. Its fine...Seems you're okay now"
"Sure. As you can see, I ain't sneezing no more now you're outside I still find it very confusing"
"What?"
"Flowers....You keep em in your pockets?"
Alfred smiled "Not not really. Actually, I am a Flo-
"Hey? Who are you?.What are you doing here?" Alfred heard a calm feminine voice which cut him short. He slowly turned around and his eyes met with Chelsea.
" Oh my!! Its you. The Hot- I mean, My New Neighbor?" Chelsea bulged her eyes in surprise.
Alfred chuckled slightly and nodded his head.
"Whoaa..What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Uhm. Actually, I came to ask for ketchup but your friend wouldn't let me in" Alfred pointed at the door.
"Excuse me? Why not?"
"I don't know why. I guess I make her sick"
"Y...ou make her sick?" Chelsea stuttered.
"Hold on" Chelsea looked at the closed door. She tried opening it but it was locked from the inside.
"Hey, Babe. Open the door" Chelsea knocked.
"Is he there??" Her Voice came afterwards.
"Who?"
"The Flower Ghost Next Door"
"Wh...What? Flower Ghost?"
"Yeah. He has invisible flowers on him. I guess that why I keep sneezing!"
Chelsea looked at Alfred and smiled nervously. "Sorry for her careless words. She's quite sick"
"Huh?" Alfred raised his brows.
"Oh" He tittered.
"She's sick. Just got back from even buying drugs for her" Chelsea continued smiling and raised the drugs paper bag to his face.
"Oh" He muttered.
"Yeah" Chelsea nodded.
"He's there! I know that. Tell him to leave"
"Why?" Chelsea questioned.
"I told you! He's some kind of freak that makes me sneeze. I don't get it" She whispered, trying to make it dodge Alfred's ears.
"Hey! Stop bad mouthing! He's here hearing everything"
"Huh? Is he hearing all this? I thought he was far way"
"Uurgh! This Fool! Just open the door already. He wants some ketchup" Chelsea banged her fist on the door.
Rita slowly opened the door and took only her face out. "Oh my" She gasped seeing Alfred face.
"I didn't know you were still close- Archuu!! Chelsea, Do come in- Archuuu!"
"What's wrong?" Chelsea looked at Sneezing Rita.
"I don't- Archuuu- Know" She shrugged her shoulders.
Chelsea sighed and touched her forehead.
"You're burning hot. Come and Take your drugs"
"You came late though, Why?"
"Huh?"
"You wasted time. Why?" Rita pointed at the huge clock on the wall.
"Uhmm Nothing actually. I...just had to do look for the best pharmarcy around. Come here now" Chelsea coughed dramatically.
"Oh...Neighor. You can come in" Chelsea said aloud.
"He can what?" Rita whispered to her ear.
"Come on" Chelsea rolled her eyes.
"You don't understand, Do you? You shouldn't tell him to.... Archuuu! Ouch, He's already here" Rita coughed.
Alfred sluggishly walked to them wearing a small smile. He smiled more when he saw Chelsea leave, and later walked up to him with a bottle of ketchup. Meanwhile, Rita went back to a corner, a bit farther from them. She was however looking at them.
"Hey, That mine!" Rita growled lowly. Chelsea ignored her and quickly gave the ketchup to him.
"Here" She stretched her arm.
Alfred collected it and scratched his head. "Thank you" He cooed.
"No worries..Also, You can take it"
"Wh...at? Aiish! Not the ketchup I bought!" Rita looked in amusement from where she stayed. She couldn't come closer to them.
She didn't want to sneeze as well. She couldn't comprehend what was really going on. What the hell was making her sneeze? It was already getting too irksome.
"Thank you so much" He smiled as he tried to walk away.
"Hey!" Rita called from afar. He slowly turned to look at her.
"What's your name?" She asked
"What's yours?" He asked
"I asked first"
"No, Ladies first...Besides, I asked then but you didn't reply me" He chuckled. Chelsea stared at them giggling.
"You want me to call you Flower Ghost instead?"
"...I'm Alfred"
"Well, The Name is Rita. It's nice to meet you"
"Same here. Got to hurry" He smiled and quickly left.
"What was that about?" Chelsea had a slight frown as she walked closer to Rita with arm akimbo.
"What?" Rita looked at her, as she slowly opened the polythene bag.
"Why did you call him a Flower Ghost? Why were you keeping your distance away from him?"
"Actually- Rita cleared her throat.
"I don't know what's wrong but that guy is a Flower"
"Pardon?" Chelsea looked at Rita confusedly. Rita took some water from the table, drank the pills and then looked back at Chelsea.
"It's unbelievable but I keep sneezing when I'm close to him"
"Why?"
"That's it babe!!! Its because He's a Flower" She snapped her fingers.
"Damn!" Chelsea slammed her head on her forehead.
"You spewing nothing but trash...Rita, What the hell are you saying?"
"I don't understand either. But I can swear to you, That guy...Rita swallowed hard and gestured for Chelsea to come closer.
Chelsea looked at her oddly before moving to her. Rita slowly took her mouth to her ear.
"He's either a Flower Ghost or He was a Flower in his past life" Rita whispered.
Chelsea took her ear off Rita's mouth and stared blankly at her.
"Let's just go sleep. Being sick ain't cool. Take a look at what it's doing to your brain"
"Excuse me?"
"It's affecting you mentally" Chelsea rolled her finger around her ear as she walked into the room.
"Argh! That b**ch!" Rita cussed.
"Yeah. I'm your b**ch, sweetie. Come on in, Let's rest.We can party tomorrow"
"What of the pork?" Rita followed in sluggishly.
"It might get spoilt if we don't preserve it" She added.
"Nah. Don't worry, It's in the freezer. There's Microwave too"
"You're right" Rita responded.
They were both in the room already. There was a big bed there with wardrobes, A beautiful huge colourful window on the wall. The room was quite beautiful and well structured with lots of things.
"You'd better learn how to cook b**ch" Chelsea laughed as she opened her wardrobe. She brought out a black night gown.
"What's the need" Rita smirked as she brought out her pyjamas from her wardrobe.
"Why? Ain't it important?" Chelsea faced her.
"I've got you. There's clearly no need to learn"
Chelsea laughed "What if I leave?"
"Nah! You ain't leaving this b**ch" Rita smiled. Chelsea smiled back.
"Yeah, I'm ours, b**ch" She whispered.

It was 3am. Chelsea was sleeping soundly. Rita was beside her but she seemed to be shivering badly. She was sweating profusely and muttering something in her sleep.
Her eyes were tightly closed. It was a Nightmare. She was having a Nighgmare. In the Nightmare, There was darkness everywhere.
However, There were Beautiful Flowers. Lots of them, different varieties and colours.
Rita was amongst them but in this nightmare, She didn't sneeze. Rita was wearing a beautiful fluffy white gown. The hells she wore was also white.
She was looking around in a puzzled manner, trying to comprehend her location and her reason for being there.
She raised her eyes to see a Masked man afar. He was holding a sharp knife. She gasped at the fearful sight.
Below the man legs, was a young boy. He was on his knees crying. The Man screamed loudly, raised the knife and slashed the boy's neck with it.
Rita gasped loudly. She tried moving but it looked like she was stuck. The only thing she could do was stare at the frightening scene.
The little boy gagged as his innocent blood spilled out from his sliced opened neck. "NO!" Rita eventually screamed holding her mouth with her palm.
Tears rolled down her eyes as she watched the spilled blood move on the floor, then to the flowers and even dropped on her gown.
"What's happening??" She thought, still unable to move an inch. It seemed like fantasy.
She looked again, and watched the man disappear out of sight while the boy blood kept flowing. His blood which was still flowing, went to the flower roots and at once, The once beautiful flowers turned ugly.
They began to wilt, and die. Everywhere suddenly looked like a mess. "No! No! No!" She kept turning around watching the blood flow more and more.
The blood began to form a big river. It slowly began to take her in, from her feet to her knee, then to her waist.
It started going to her neck when she shouted loudly "Help me!!!...AAARCHU-
"I'm here!" She heard a voice and quickly opened her eyes. Chelsea was holding her calmly.
"Don't worry, I'm here" She hugged her tightly.
In fear, Rita tightly held her giving her a hug. "It's back" She began to cry, shivering at the same time.
"The fucking nightmare is back" She kept crying.
"What? The...The...Night..mare? It came back?" Chelsea muttered.
It had been years she had the nightmare When they were both 16 and 19 respectively. Now, They were both 22 and 25, Why did it come back now?.
"Yeah...I'm so scared. Chelsea, God!" She held her tightly, refusing to blink her eyes.
"It's fine...I'm here" Chelsea looked around worriedly.
"What's going on?" She muttered watching Rita cry softly, around her body.
