Valentina was sleeping on top of Liam's chest. It was a bright and sunny morning. Valentina got up, not due to the light of the sun...but to the sound of her child crying.
Valentina shot up, and ran to Emma's room, were the door was in perfect condition, and Emma was safe in her cot, except... She was crying for a while...
Valentina gasped in shock, as she went over and held her baby. She looked at her small body, to reassure herself that she's real!
"Oh! Emma!" Valentina dropped a few tears of joy. She was so happy, her daughter came back!... Safe and sound...
"Liam! Wake up! Wake up wake up wake up!" Valentina jumped up and down in excitement. "Look! It's Emma!"
"Yeah... Give her the bottle...I want your milk...OW!!" Valentina just kicked him in the face. He looked up and saw Valentina shoving Emma down to his face.
"Oh...hello, Emma...." Liam dozed off back to sleep, then..."EMMA!!" He shot right up.
"Emma! You're here! Wow! This is a miracle!" He grabbed Emma and threw her up in the air and catched her... it was completely safe...
Emma started giggling, and Liam felt so happy, there was a bright, smile stretched upon his face.
"Forget work! I'm staying right here!" He said as he sat on the coach with Emma. Valentina smiled at them both, with passionate, loving eyes.
She turned to the kitchen and began making breakfast. She looked over, from time to time, watching them playing together. She felt like playing with them...but she had some work to do.

At the dinning table, breakfast was laid out for the couple, but Valentina proceed to feed Emma first, which she had fun doing, feeding her with the spoon as if it were an airplane.
"Hey... Val... was last night, just a bad dream...?" Liam asked.
"I...Don't know..."
"The same thing happened yesterday, it was a nightmare... but when we woke up, everything was fine..."
"Yeah... It's strange... But I don't care. I'm just happy that my Emma is here, safe and sound." Valentina fed Emma her last spoon, and put the plate on the table. Emma was sitting on a highchair. Valentina placed her down infront of her toys and began to eat.
"I feel like painting again..." Valentina said.
"Hey..." Liam pointed at her. "You better not leave Emma out of your sight..."
"Of course I won't..."

The day went by swiftly. During the day, Valentina was painting and talking to Emma, who sat in her baby seat on the floor.
Lunch time... Liam ordered some Chinese food.
Nap time...Liam fed Emma, cleaned her diaper and slept with her on the bed.
Valentina received a phone call, interrupting her painting. Then when she was done, she went to the kitchen and began cooking.
Liam got up due to the smell of the mouth watering food, Valentina was preparing. He looked at the canvas that Valentina just painted, it was still wet.
"Wow...You painted this?" Liam asked quietly to himself but Valentina jumped on him from behind, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yeah. But this is, my canvas. My room. My stuff. Out." She said intimidating, however, Liam just smiled.
He turned around, held her waist gently, and moved closer to her face. Valentina saw what was coming, and pushed him away.
Liam was shocked, why did she pull off such a stunt? She twirled around in joy after backing away from her husband. She seemed so happy.
But Liam, was very annoyed... He can't do anything with his wife. She never flirted with him nor did she ever act sexy.
How did they have that child?... well, she had to be willing to do it somehow...She was drunk that night....
Liam walked to the dinning table, he noticed there was no food on the table. So, he went to the kitchen to see what was cooking.
"What are we eating?"
"Lasagne..." She answered bluntly. Liam then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"What the hell was that for?" Valentina said as she backed away and wiped her cheek. Liam looked back at her with passionate eyes.
"Just in case, I lose you tonight but then wake up the next morning to see you by my side..."
Valentina blushed, and smiled. "Right..." After some time, Valentina continued.
"But how are you so sure that everything will be back to normal when we wake up?..."
"I just do... It's already happened for 2 nights in a row..." Liam stopped to sigh. "Let's just hope it won't happen again... I don't want anything bad to happen to you..."
Valentina looked lovingly back at her husband, and when Liam turned to her, their eyes met.
"Um..." However, he turned around. "Did something happen today?..." He asked, but he knew there wasn't an interesting answer.
"Oh...yeah.." Valentina says as she bends down to the oven to take out the lasagne.
"Mom called... She seemed pretty upset." Valentina continued.
"What? Your mom?"
"Yeah... She said that she wanted to come over super quick, so she might come over tomorrow. She really wanted to see Emma again."
"Yeah...The last time she came, was about when Emma was born. It's been awhile." Liam said.
Liam looked over at the lasagne over at the dinning table. It looked delicious and made his mouth water. Valentina sat down beside him. Emma was still sound asleep in their bedroom, the door was left open and the windows were locked.
Liam was about to dig into his food when he got a text. He dropped his fork. "Oh shit..."
"What is it?" Valentina asked.
"Andrew is here... He wants to invite me for dinner."
"Uh...Here?" She tilted her head as she was confused.
"Sorry...I gotta go." He got up from his seat and so did Valentina as she says, "Wait! You're not gonna eat?"
"I'll eat there."
"But it's still dangerous! What if is something bad happens to you? Or even worse! Something bad happens to ME!"
"Don't wo-" Liam just came to the realisation that Valentina doesn't really give two shits about his safety. He inhaled some air to calm him down.
"I'm sure everything will be fine... Coz in the end...everything will be back to normal." He said reassuring her. Liam gets up and wears his jacket.
"I'll be back quick." He says.
"Wait!..." Valentina said abruptly that she didn't really know what to say next. Liam turned and looked at her.
"What is it?..."
"...when will you be back?..."
"I'll try to come back around 10:30..."
"Ok..." Valentina lowered her head. She felt scared. She didn't want to be alone. However, Liam hadn't met Andrew for years. Liam was taught to always accept an invitation, no matter what. Valentina understood this too, and she sees them as the best of friends. But she was still scared.
"Don't worry, Val... Everything will be fine. Remember, just forget about everything and fall asleep..." Liam pats her on the head. She smiles back.
"That's probably why everything comes back to normal... Because every night you say those words to me before we fall asleep..."
"Really?" Liam asked.
"Yeah..." She smiled brightly, her eyes glowed out passionate love. "I trust you..."
Liam smiled back and went on his way, and closed the door.
Valentina was left behind in the dark. The sun was long gone... and the devil is here to play.
Valentina felt sad, she didn't want to see him go, she wanted him to stay with her. She didn't want a bad omen to appear at night...She wanted to hold him, close to his warm body.
But, she felt like she wasn't going to get any of that, since their nights are always attacked by this curse.
Once the moon rises, they're trapped in forever lasting pain, that would repeat for eternity.
The door opened, Liam ran right in and hugged Valentina. She couldn't understand the situation but she was happy to be in his arms.
He moved away, then leaned over infront of her face, closed his eyes and gave her a passionate kiss.
Once he moved away, Valentina blushed and asked, "How did you know I wanted it?..."
"I always know..." Then he went in and kissed her again. It went on for a while, he held her close, chest to chest, as if he gave a final farewell kiss. He pulled away, but Valentina hit him on his jacket.
"I didn't ask for that!"
"Well...I wanted it." Liam smirked back at her.
He then went off and before he closed the door, he says "I love you!"
...."I love you too..." She said quietly to herself. "Oh shit! Bastard left Emma all alone!" And stormed into the bedroom where Emma was crying.

Night three
Valentina fell asleep on the bed. But heard strange noises, throughout the night that she couldn't sleep. However, she refused to get out of bed, nor to stay awake. She wanted this nightmare to be over by forcing herself to sleep, so that everything would return back to the way it's always been.
She went back to sleep, next to Emma. Then... Drip...
It was a sound of a liquid falling and dropping on the floor. Valentina thought nothing of it... Until, another drop fell...on her face.
She wiped it off, but the texture woke her up. It was a thick and slimy substance. She knew what it was.
She looked around her, thinking that Liam must be playing some sort of prank on her. But there was nothing there...just darkness. She looked over at Emma, she sleeping peacefully.
Then...drop!
Valentina slowly, looked up at where this liquid is coming from... On the ceiling... Was a dead body...It's twisted arms and legs were nailed on the ceiling and ropes around its neck and legs supported it....
It's joints were dislocated and its skin, molded and thin to the skull. Blood was splattered all over the ceiling wall, and her eyes were missing.
Valentina looked up in fright...shivering...She says....
"...Mom..."
