Anna was sitting on her bed and countless thoughts were going through her mind again and again.

“Why do bizarre things start happening to me? I remember the days when I was eight years old. I don't remember anything before my eighth birthday. So, one day, I asked my mother about it. Then he told me that on the day of my eighth birthday, I had a huge accident with a car. Because of the accident, I lost all my memory even before my eighth birthday. So I don't remember anything," she sighed.

“But still, I am curious to know what events had happened to me before my eighth birthday,” she says to herself and then she gets up from the bed and walks towards her study table, taking the chair from the table for herself. Pulled it towards her and sat on it.

A Few Hours Later...........

"Ah! Finally, I have finished my homework." She said and stretched her body on the chair. Then suddenly a groan came from her stomach.

"Let's see what mom made for dinner," she said.

Then she stood up from the chair and started climbing down the stairs to reach the dining room. As soon as she arrived at the dining room, she saw her mother who was arranging plates on the dining table and her father sitting at the dining table.

"Mom! What did you make for dinner?" She says delightful.

Her mother looked at her and said, "Oh, Anna! I was just going to call you for dinner. I have made curry."

Then Anna took out a chair from the dining table and sat on it. Her father looked at her and said, "Anna, how are you now?"

Anna replied, "I feel much better now."

“Anna, did you take your medicine on time?” her father asked.

“Yes! I took my medicine on time.” Anna says nervously.

Anna was lying to her father. He did not take any medicine for three weeks.

Just then his mother came out of the kitchen carrying a big pot of curry and placed it on the dining table. His mother took out a chair from the dining table and sat on it.

“Wow, the curry looks delicious,” says Anna.

Half An Hour Later.......

When Anna finished her meal, she got up from the dining table and put the dishes in the sink. Then she looks at her parents and says, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to sleep now. Good night,"

"Good night dear, sleep well and don't forget to take your night medicine," her mother says and smiles.

"Yes, he is right. Don't forget to take your medicine and good night, my princess." says her father.

"Okay, I won't forget," Anna says and then she walks out of the dining room. And when she came out of the dining room she suddenly heard her parents talking, which she found quite strange.

"Darling, do you also think that Anna's illness has returned?" Her mother said to Anna's father.

“I'm not sure but yes I thought so too!” his father replied.

Should we tell him the reason for his illness? His mother said softly.

No, we can't tell Anna yet. I don't know how she will react to this. She may be upset. His father said in a slightly louder voice.

Anna thinks to herself, "Should I go and ask them what they're talking about?"

She again starts listening attentively to their conversation but suddenly she starts getting a headache. “I will ask him about this tomorrow.

Then she starts stepping on the stairs. When she reaches her room, she closes the door and locks all three locks of the door. Then she moves her hand towards the light switch to turn off the light.

Sometimes I walk in my sleep at night. Therefore, it is important for me to always keep the door of my room closed.

She jumped on her bed and was asleep within a minute.

When Ana's mother confirmed that Ana had gone to her room, she got up from the chair walked towards Ana's father and whispered something in his ear.

Next Morning............

Dazzling rays of light were coming from the window glass. It was enough to wake anyone from a nightmare.

"Yes, you heard right. I had a nightmare but these things are very normal for me."

She slowly got up from her bed, put on her slippers and started walking towards the door of her room and saw that the door was open.

"Ahh! I'm sleepwalking again," she cried out.

A Few Hours Later......

"Hey, Anna!" Jessica says and puts her hand on Anna's shoulder.

"Oh! you scared me," she frighteningly says.

"What is your problem, Anna? You can tell me. Jessica asks seriously. And then they started walking towards the entrance of the school.

"Nothing, I'm still not much better," Anna replied.

"Oops, I forgot about that! Are you okay?" she says and gently grabs her hand.

"Oh! Don't worry about me." Anna says and takes her hand out of Jessica's.

Then Jessica put her hand on Anna's arm and they both started stepping towards their class. As soon as they arrived in front of their class. They see a large crowd gathered at the classroom door. Jessica walks towards the crowd to see what they are chatting about and Anna follows her.

"Hey! Did you know that a serial killer murdered another person"

"I know about this but one thing keeps coming to my mind again and again,"

"What?"

"How can he kill people without weapons?"

"That's not the only strange thing. He also doesn't use his hands to kill people because the police never found fingerprints on the victim's body. But we came to know one thing. Sometimes he would poison the victim,"

While Anna and Jessica were listening carefully to their conversation, suddenly someone says from behind their backs.

"Why are you two standing there?"

They immediately turn back in shock. A boy was standing behind their back and he was staring at them. He was tall and his eyes were brown like a dense thundercloud and his long hair was playing with the wind.

"You scared me!" Anna yelled.

He was the son of her father's best friend. His name is Jordan. They have known each other since childhood. Jessica also knows him well because he lives next door to her house.

"We're overhearing conversations about serial killers," Jessica told him.

“About serial killers? He says.

"Yes, we are," Anna says.

"Anna, can you meet me after school? I want to talk to you about something," Jordan says.

"About what?" Anna asked.

"I will tell you later. Saying this he goes back to his class.

Suddenly the first period bell started ringing. The crowd of students started running back towards the classroom. Anna and Jessica also went to class there.

FIVE HOURS LATER............

Anna and Jessica come out of their classroom together. Anna suddenly stops and says, “I have to go now.”

"Sure you can go" and don't forget to tell me later. Jessica says.

"About what?"

"Anna, why does he want to talk to you?" Jessica says and smiles at her.

"What you're thinking is nothing. But I'll tell you later. Anna exclaims and starts stepping out of the school. As she steps out of her school, she notices Jordan waiting for her under the tree. The tree was near the school. She started moving towards him. As her steps were getting closer to him, he turned towards her and said, “Thank you for coming.

“Okay, but now tell me, what do you want to say to me?” Anna says and she starts staring at him curiously.

“I want to ask one thing. Can you tell me? He asks.

“Of course you can,” she says.

“What were you doing on the street in that black hoodie last night?

"What are you doing? I was sleeping in my room last night." She says.

"But wait, I saw you walking down the street in that black hoodie. When I called your name from behind you, you didn't answer me. So, I decided to follow you. I was following you when Suddenly a loud noise distracted me from you. And when I looked left and right, I didn't see anyone. Then I looked in your direction and I found that you were already gone,"  Jordan said confidently.

"What? Now I'm sure I was sleeping last night but when I woke up in the morning why was I wearing a black hoodie, I wasn't wearing a black hoodie," she thought to herself.
