" Announcement announcement please , hello! can I get your attention... " , Dylan audible voice came alive through the microphone he held. He repeated it until a gathering became formed.
" Thank You.. "
Harley literally had cold feet standing on the podium, announcement must be sure big for her to feel so cold she shivered. She exited the stage immediately heading for the restroom.
' Is she that shy? damn am a lucky man. ' Dylan teased adjusting himself.

|REST ROOM|
Harley warmed up, she had never develop such stage freights. But she felt disturbed. Her soon to be sister in law disapproved of their relationship; and her parents on the hand didn't fully accept Dylan. She had the right to worry.
She rinses her face in the basin with running water escaping the tap. Strands of her touched her face. She turns the tap of taking a towel from the hanger there, drying her face with it.
The mirror in front of her reflected her actions but in all of that; something else was there. The mirror reflected something entirely, a black cloak stood there behind her, close to the door it watched her like a hawk. Like a predator preying on it prey.
She returns the towel to look at self in the mirror only for her eyes to bulge out, she turned back but saw nothing. She looked back at the mirror, seeing the creature still stood there.
She gasped, out of fear her body trembled , she couldn't help scream. Her mouth she lost the voice to scream.

|GUEST ROOM|
Elizabeth returned to her clothing. She was heading down to join the party when she felt a sudden urge to check the restroom. No, she fought the urge. Why exactly would she wanna do in the restroom? she ignored and left.
" So, I have a special announcement to make. Regarding I and Harley Davidson. Yes your host as you know it.. " He paused examining the crowd, everyone eager to hear what he wanted announce. But he was leaving 'em in suspense slowly.
Elizabeth joined the muttering gathering only for loud scream to abruptly erupt from the rest room. Dylan, " That Harley's voice!. " He jumped of the podium and races of with Elizabeth following suit. The gown she wore didn't seem to tight as she ran fast but unable to catch up with Dylan.
Panicking, heart drumming. The door to the rest room got knocked down by a sheer force of strength. Dylan brown boots stomped the door. His irises were cobalt blue, fangs and claws protruded. black Veins bulging out on the sides kif he head.
He spotted the black cloak levitating an inch of ground. Dylan didn't fear the cloak figure, he rummage for Harley with blue vision, finding her laying on the ground, perhaps lifeless?
He grew with rage , attempting to attack. The cloak vanished immediately without leaving any trace. Dylan retained his human form and crouched down and gathered her in his arms. She wasn't bleeding, she was still alive. Elizabeth walked in on them In haste.
" Harley?! " she yelled running towards Dylan stood, she was in his arms unconscious. " What wrong with her. "
" I don't know, when I came in she was laying unconscious.. " He lied.
" C'mon let get her out of here. " Elizabeth said leading them out of the room. She looked around , examining the place one last time before she left. The roofs she scanned then thoroughly; her eyes immediately getting hold of a security camera watching her. " Am guessing this case just got opened. "

|HAMILTONVILLE CITY HOSPITAL|
Eyes slowly opening, Harley eyes boomed open. She gasped but Dylan quickly took her by her neck, holding her hand trying to calm down. She slowly cooled down. She was lucky to survive; Elizabeth stood outside watching them through the circular window on the door.
" She's alright. Now I have to get a hold of the security camera and find out what happened exactly. "
She exited the hospital immediately
Meanwhile Dylan played with Harley hair cooling her down. " Were am I... ouch. " Dylan aids her in seating up. " Hospital? what am doing here? "
Dylan touched her cheek. " Relax, you fell unconscious.. in the restroom. You hard some little heart attac-- "
" Really? " She removed his hand from her cheek, shaking her head, clearing the strands of hair on her face. " The last thing I remember was being in bed with you, so how? "
' I Be damned.. she doesn't remember anything, worse she doesn't even know we are engaged!. What the hell is happening? she's gone back to when we first lost control the night we trapped in a room. That sensual night is not to be forgotten... but Harley here. What going on. '
" Hum, look ..Ion know. I woke up and and found you unconscious.. perhaps you collapsed or haven't eaten properly. "
Harley sighed lowering her head, biting her lips, she looked him in the eyes again. Dylan could help notice he was in a room with his queen but she was now short of memory , they were now back to were they both started.
" Look Dylan; whatever happened.. thanks for bringing me here. I really appreciate but yesterday night ....was a mistake. It shouldn't have happen. You are my best friend brother. If she finds out things will go south. I rather be friends with you.. look am sorry. The night also meant something to me. But try and understand. "
Dylan; it was like that exact same day to him. And he wasn't gonna reply what he had replied years ago or worry himself about trying to relieve the moments. " Loom Harley; you're right. I get your point but for now you have to rest. You look weak; and the doctor isn't ready to discharge you yet so if you aren't gonna think about yourself. Think about your family. "
" Fine. "
She rested herself comfortably on the bed while Dylan buried his head down thinking about the black cloak he saw earlier. He couldn't help wonder he found it familiar. ' Was that a Grimm? No it couldn't be... A Grim Reaper? This is bad news.. but if it was .. ' Looking at her. ' Why didn't it kill her when it had the chance? This is absurd... '
