LOSA WAS gasping while getting up from her bed. As usual, she dreamed again of those scenes— the crows, and the kingdom surrounded by black magic.
She didn't know what that dream had to do with her personality. But she knows that is a big part of her life, she needs to find it out. She is only a human being living in this world, having power is impossible. She let out a deep sigh.
"Weird," she muttered as she stared at the void.
She stood looking out the window of her room. Is there a day when she is probably late or is it too early?
She closed the window, and then looked at the wall clock that hung on the wall of her room. It was seven in the morning. She had only one hour left to go to school, she had nothing to do but to hurry, take a bath, and get dressed.
She saw her mother in the kitchen wearing an apron. Their breakfast is ready.
"Oh, daughter, come on, sit down. Eat up, the breakfast is ready," her mother invited her with a smile.
She followed behind and sat down on the chair that she had set for her.
She was an only child. And Rossy was the only one raising her. Her dad died two years ago. Rossy brought and guided her. She was just fifteen when her father died, and now she is seventeen— matured enough in everything. But Rossy refused to allow her. It looks like her mother is her father too. How lucky she is.
Her mother put a fried egg and hotdog on her plate, on the other were cereal and milk. Jing smiled secretly. She stood up and kissed her mother on the cheek.
"Thanks, Mom."
She hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. "No problem, my dear. Eat up, so that I will send you to school after."
Her mom is a call center agent. At night her mother was not at their home, but in the morning her mom comes home, but she needs to go to school. That is why they had only a short time to see each other except on holidays. So, she didn't wonder earlier why she had found her mother in the kitchen. Because she already knew that the first thing her mom does is to cook their breakfast every time comes home.
Their home is simple. They are living only in the subdivision that suits only three people.
"I'll just walk, Mom. Our school is within walking distance. You don't need to send me there. Just take a rest, Mom. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Her mother was not opposed to what she said. Instead, I just smiled and nodded. "All right, my dear. Thank you."
She just smiled and continued eating her breakfast.

WHEN SHE is walking, the whole environment is calm. It seems there was an angel who came to this place; why even vehicles on the road do not pass by? Whereas before, the crowd even caused traffic. What's going on? Even people are suddenly disappearing, and she is the only one left on that sidewalk.
She just shook her head and walked silently. It's only a few meters away, and she'll be able to get to school.
After a while she heard again the sound of a million crows above her, she was sure that it was coming from the sky. It's happening again. She walked fast, and then she looked up into the sky. Her eyes widened when she saw thousands of crows in the air. It's covering the sunlight that hits her, suddenly the whole place turns into the dark.
Fear and frustration gripped her chest. Her heartbeat was getting faster, her knees and whole body became numb.
A huge black smoke formed in the air made up of the crows. She step-back and hid in the pillar.
"What's happening?" she whispered in vain while praying.
What is this phenomenon? Is she still dreaming? Is this a dream again? She slapped her cheek, but she felt pain.
"No! This is happening! It is no longer a dream like the past few days."
She stepped and ran away from the crows, but she screamed horribly when the thousands of crows followed her.
"No! Stay away from me!"
The black smoke quickly moved ahead of her to serve as a gateway to the other world. She wanted to cry and prevent her feet from running, but she couldn't! Something controlling her. She needs to think about what she would do next, but it was too late for her when she was sucked into the portal. After a second, she saw the death kingdom again under the curse of the evil witch.
"Welcome back, princess."
Her eyes widened when she saw a large black crow talking to her. It has red eyes that are staring at her deeply. In a surprise, she lost consciousness.
