Ray's POV
I came outside my cabin just to say bye to my friend who was going abroad for a month on a business trip. I was about to go in when the receptionist said,
'Dr. Ray, there's a patient for you.' And she pointed to a girl wearing a black skirt and a white shirt with a black collar.
I knew who she was, cause she came earlier too.
'Good morning Ms. Wilkinson, how you doing?' I said as I went towards her.
'Oh! no need of formalities you can just call me Anna, Doctor .' she said and gave a bright smile.
'So, how you came here today?' I asked for further.
'Actually, I shifted to a new house as you said, but I guess it didn't work. I experienced it again a few days ago. So, I need your help again.' she said worriedly.
'Oh! I see, so let's go in my cabin then.' I said and we started to walk towards my cabin.
'I guess you haven't told about this to your housemate till now.' I asked and she nodded.
Before I could ask something else I heard a strong wail coming from Lisa's cabin, she was asking for help. I suddenly remembered that I saw a guy with two officers going into her house earlier. There were no officers outside and that made me worry about her. I went to open the door but it was locked. I pushed the door as hard as I could but it didn't work. Finally, the receptionist came and handed over a spare key to her cabin. I successfully opened the door. But what I saw made me furious and most angry I had ever been. The guy was leaning on Lisa with a knife in his hand while Lisa was sitting on her chair apparently scared and frozen. Almost within a minute, a huge crowd got gathered in front of her cabin. I went in and pushed him aside. I asked Lisa if she was alright but then I saw him moving towards Anna
'Anna you know I'm not a psychopath. Don't ya?' He said and tried to approach her shoulders with his hands covered with blood. I saw Anna, her eyes were filled with tears and sweat started to covered her body gradually. As I saw her expressions mixed with a bit of scared and anger at the same time I analyzed that the cause of Anna's suffering was this guy and it made me more furious. I went towards him and turned him around, he looked at me in great anger. But before he could do something I knocked him down on the ground with a punch. Just after that both the officers came.
'What were you two doing outside? Sleeping!!' I yelled at them while they looked down with embarrassment.
They took him out after apologizing and just after that a guy arrived and Lisa hugged him tightly. It was the first time when I felt that I should be there and not him. That I should be comforting her not anyone else. But why did I felt so? What was this feeling?

Sam's POV
I went in before Sarah and faced a huge crowd in front of Lisa's cabin. Finally, I somehow managed to enter the room but I bumped into a guy with two officers on the door. I analyzed him and after looking at his bloody hands my mind started to think weird things which made me more worried about Lisa
I went in and as soon as Lisa saw me she burst into tears. She stood up and hugged me tightly with her one arm as much as she could and before I could say or do something she said,
'Please let me hug you this time, please. Don't deny it.' In a wobbly voice.
I felt uneasy when she hugged me and wanted to get rid of her. But the fact that she was too scared and needed a friend to calm her down didn't let me do so. So, I stood there still. Yes, it was true that I never liked it when anyone touched me but for a year it has grown more uncomfortable. I feel, what if I hurt their feelings? What if they get hurt and leave alone forever? These thoughts scared me a lot these days...
After almost hugging me for ten minutes which felt like ten days she let me go and offered me a seat.
'How come you know about this incident?' She asked wiping tears while her other hand still trying to stop the blood flow from her neck.
'I guess this is a more important topic than that.' I said pointing her neck.
'Oh! this, it's a small cut. Don't worry. First, tell me how come you're here?' She said.
'Well..I...' I said and was interrupted by Sarah who came in running.
'I...came with her.' I said looking at Sarah.
'What? Wait, you both know each other?' Asked Lisa in shock.
'And you both know each other too?' Sarah replied in sarcasm.
But before I got squeezed in between their fight Dr. Ray came in between and said,
'Dr. Lisa, why haven't you applied anything to your neck? Come to this side let me help you.'
Lisa started to blush and happiness could be seen all over her face. Well her all friends knew that she liked Dr. Ray, but no one knew Dr. Ray's feelings he is a kinda very serious person. He never laughed. After they went Sarah and I sat there for almost an hour and suddenly she pointed out a girl in that crowd,
'Anna, what are you doing here?' She asked.
And I realized that the girl in the crowd was Anna, whom I met an hour ago.
'Uh...Hi, Sarah .' She said and smiled awkwardly.
She looked messed up, I mean her shoulders had some patches of blood and her awkward smile made it clear that something happened with her too, and thus, it made me curious too
'What ate you doing here, you were going library. Weren't you?' Asked Sarah suspiciously and I nodded.
'Umm...I... actually.' She said and was interrupted by Lisa.
'Sarah let's go to your house. I mean I'm hungry and you promised me that you'll give me a treat.'
Anna sighed in relief and this made her more suspicious. Sarah forgot about this moment but I will one day find it out anyhow. I said in meditation.
Sarah invited everyone but Dr. Ray denied. Serious one you see.
'Wait, who are you?' Asked Lisa as she saw Anna standing beside her.
'My new housemate!' Exclaimed Sarah and Lisa gave her a deadly look maybe because she is Sarah's bestie and Sarah didn't tell her.
But ignoring her stare Sarah went outside and we all sat in her car.

Sarah's POV
We sat in the car and suddenly my eyes fell on the phone which I accidentally left in the car. I unlocked the screen and saw ten missed calls of Emma, one message, and five missed calls of Mr. Niall. I opened the message box and there was a message sent around two to three hours ago,
'Ms. Sarah, the French company which was about to come tomorrow is coming today at around 1:30 so, bring a contract file immediately at my house.'
- Mr. Niall.'
I saw the time and gulped a large amount of saliva cause I knew that my Sunday was about to get ruined...
