" I don't actually saw her face, since everytime I tried to look at her the face became unclear." Aubrey confusingly replied.
"So you met her, when and how?" Miss Devial added.
"Before I got into college, I somehow interupt her ritual..."
Miss Devial was more shocked. "Since then she appeared and disturbs my dream."
Miss Devial stands up and walks back and forth. She was murmuring words and sounds like nervous. "By the way ma'am, I met characters in my dream whose image are similar to those people I know here. One of them who looks like my professor told me one thing." Aubrey who was also nervous shared. Miss Devial continues doing her thing and makes a sign of her hand to go on. And so Aubrey told the lady about what those characters found out. And they points out miss Devial was the person behind the book and the dark ink.
Upon hearing it, miss Devial stops walking and burst into laughter. "Are you gonna believe those dream made characters of your's? I cant believe you made me the antagonist of your dream." Aubrey feels ashamed from what she said. After all she doesn't control the dream characters emotions. She can present an event but not their opinions. They will surely expose themselves and free themselves like Myrtle.
"Listen kid, let me tell you another secret about the boys case from the previous years. I told him about these book and what does it do. I even showed him these book. He was the smartest and very creative among the boarders here. He offered himself to do a test about what these can do." then she runs her fingers on the books cover.
"Did he also experience what I experienced?"
Miss Devial sighed, " Yes, although he was talented and smart. He suffers these so called insomia due to his stressful life, as student, son, and partimer. I pitied him, that's when I remembered what my master says..." she paused and place the book on my side. "She told me that, anyone who has these book and dreams were stolen, the owner of the dream will forget what's his dream."
"But you said earlier that the other sister remember her dream and was told a fake storyteller and copycat." Aubrey ask out of confusion.
Miss Devial was silence first before she replied, "After my master gave it to me. I tried to revoke the spell on the book, but instead of revoking it. It became worst, characters on dream were controlled by something. Then it became the dream theif. It even caused the life of my son."
Aubrey understands what the lady said. Since everything was clear now she bids herself a goodbye. But miss Devial asked her to stay. Through the warning miss Devial gave, Aubrey was disturb and terrified.
"She will never live you, not until you finish the story of your dream." She warns.
"Then what shall I do?"
"You should go back to sleep, finish the dream... Free your dream characters, or whatsoever you would like to happen. Gave them happy ending or a tragic one."
"But I have to leave exactly by noon... I'm sure my parents we're gonna kill me if I still have time to sleep." Aubrey worriedly reacts.
"Don't worry I'll wait until you'll wake up. I will also amkes sure to wake you up by 11:40. So you could still have time to be ready." Miss Devial promised.
And so Aubrey believed what miss Devial suggested. By the help of some tea miss Devial made Aubrey fell asleep in no time. In a dream she saw herself once again in a mirror. She saw her reflection, but it's different from the real her. The reflection has a very strong personality, egocentric, selfish and self proclaimed. From her behind, she heard the voice again calling her name "Aubrey..." in a soft voice. She was stunned cause she finally knew who the voice was.
"Miss Devial?"she trembles.
She turned around to clearly see if her guess was right. Then she fianlly saw the hooded cloak lady revealing her face. Wearing a dark make up but can still be recognized. It was indeed miss Devial.
"Hello Aubrey..."she greeted on a vouce mixed by the voice of a demon. "You finally knew who I was..."
" You tricked me!" Aubrey exclaimed.
Miss Devial laughs, "You're not that hard to be fooled miss."
"What do you want from me?" she asked angrily.
Miss Devial walks around her and laughs. Then she stops behind her and exclaimed "You took the dime of my life! you sneaky naughty cat!"
"Was these about the book? Cause honestly I didn't mean to stole it. It's just I was curious about what you told me. So steal it besides, if you didn't disturb my dreams, I will never plan to steal it."
"HUH! excuse, excuse, excuse."
Aubrey wondered what miss Devial's connection was on Aubrey's dream. She tries to remember everything what happened exactly. The very root reason why she got bad bad dreams that makes her stay up.
It all started when she interupt someone doing a ritual. Then it turn around and saw her seeing the revealed miss Devial also made her memory complete the image. It was miss Devial. "So the ritual I disturb was for the book? And the boy who you offered was your son?"
"That's right! And you destroyed everything I have prepared for so many years!" She angrily poking Aubrey on the forehead. "You've got a lot of nerve, named your dream characters after my son."
Aubrey was really confused what miss Devial mean since a lot of her dream characters are named inequivalent to the reality of the people she know. Seeing the confused Aubrey, miss Devial calms down and said, "Since you returned, my ritual will finally be completed. My life, my dream can finally be achieved!" happily and laughs loudly. Aubrey sensed something is not good. Then lady Devial walk away from Aubrey, then second later a fire surrounds her. Shaped by the devils star, and the lady started her ritual.
