Sabrina took her medicines. She was trying to complete the poem which she was writing on the table in the morning. She wants to name the poem as 'Morris the Moron'. Actually she hated herself every time she thinks to write and ends thinking of Morris. He was usually the subject of her writings. No matter how hard she tried to write something breezy. She always landed with the heartbreak she had gone through.

'Tulips comes in many color

No matter, how fresh they are

You make them dry and dull'

She repeats this in her mind. 'What else...would go with these?'

'You turn them to screaming black and white!'

'Ahh, this is horrible! There is something seriously wrong with me and I hate it. I really hate myself'

'Tomorrow I'll go through my notes which I had written some weeks ago. I need to continue publishing my poems'

She feels sleepy and goes to sleep with her notepad and a pen below her pillow.

"I love Charlie. She's an astounding cook" Jared fell down on the bed as if he has lost control over his body. He immersed his head into the pillow.

"Seriously?" Lily turned around while she was removing her make up "Now, you are in her control too! I think she's a witch. She grabs control over people easily. But not me...Not me at all!!! "

"I think you are a witch. You are too controlling sometimes" Jared said with the blurred voice without removing his head out of pillow

"Yes, I am a witch. And you are too made me one. Now I am going to cast a spell on you. "Lily said in monstrous voice. She smacked one pillow over his head.

Jared grabbed lily and pulled her in his arms, while she was trying to run away. And, with the deep kiss they both fell asleep.

Jared's POV

I woke up at 2 AM. I dispersed Lily out of my arms and got up from the bed. It was strange to see Charlie's bedroom light was ON. I wonder what she's up to at this time. Never mind!!!

The jar was empty. I took the jar and before I could reach the door knob and open the door. I heard footsteps in the lobby. There was someone in the house and now that person was outside our room. Well, this is creepy! I could not wake up Lily because she will get scared, but for the sake of self-awareness I have to warn her to be looking out in the house in case I am not here.

"Lily get up" I whispered

"Ahh" She turned her face towards me and answered without opening her eyes

"There's someone in the house" I tried keeping my voice low

"What?" Now she was wide awake

"Shh !!!" I put my hand over her mouth "I need to go check out. You be here. Don't get out of the room and keep some sharp object with you. Okay?"

As I was warning her, she raised her hand towards the door. Now that unknown person was trying to open the door. We could see the door knob was turning. He couldn't open it because we had locked the door from inside. I was going to open the door and see who the bloody bastard is. As I got up from Lily's side, she held my hand and dragged me again towards her "Please don't go". If I opened the door and the thief had gun, then I couldn't risk Lily's life. So I decided not to open it. But, What about Sabrina? She's down there and if he got her or killed her. Then who would be responsible!!! We were just guest in her house and we would be the first suspect. Till my mind was working on it. The door knob stopped turning. And we could hear the footsteps going away from our room to down the staircase. "Lily be here, you call Charlie and ask her to look for the person who goes out of our house, She's wake."

"Okay"

From the sound of footsteps I could conclude the thief was alone. After he descended from the stairs. I slowly opened the door knob without making any noise and took a golf stick in my hand. As I was descending from the stairs, I couldn't see anyone there. It was dark but there was enough visibility in the moon light coming from the window. I turned towards kitchen which was nearest, as I was just entering, I saw someone's shadow running towards the main door from the direction where Sabrina's room is. I turned around without wasting time and ran out of the main door.

And Poof! He disappeared into thin air. There was no one! I ran outside the gate, and found street empty. Just the cars parked across the street and silent houses sleeping at the darkest hour of the night.

"Damn it"

I went around the house and found no one!!!

Lily came looking for me with the torch and a knife in her hand, "Jared" she ran and hugged me tightly.

"Lily, Am okay. But, I didn't find anyone"

"I was so worried when you didn't come up after so much time. Jared, I want to go home. Let's go home. Please"

"Shhhh..shhh...stop crying you ! We have to check over Sabrina. Come" I wiped her tears and took her inside

I put the golf stick on the table and went to Sabrina's room. The door was wide open. And she was fallen over other side of the bed.

"Oh my God. She's sweating and her body temperature is high" Lily tried to wake her up. But, she didn't wake. It seemed she was unconscious. We settled Sabrina back on the bed.

"Did you call Charlie?"

"I did but she didn't received"

"What? She must be wake. I saw her bedroom's light ON"

"I saw that too, But she didn't answered"

"Let me check" I went in the living room and took a glance over Charlie's room and now the lights were off. I called her again and still no one received the call. 'Oh shit, may be the thief has went in Charlie's house' I threw the phone on couch and ran towards 'The nest'

I desperately rang the bell continuously in one go. It was taking an hour to open the door. I was afraid if Charlie's alright. I went around the house, but all the windows were closed and there was no other way to get inside other than the door. I again went to door and rang the bell.

"Hold on, hold on. I am coming" I heard Charlie's voice.

'Thank God, she's alright'

"What happened, Son?"

"Charlie there's someone outside. He was in our house, but I couldn't catch him. You be aware, if he comes in your house too. Let me check all the rooms to assure he is not here"

"But. Wait..."

Before she could stop me, I stormed inside and searched each and every room, each corner. There was no one.

"We're good. Everything's clear"

"Thank you to check over. Is everything alright?"

"No...I am gasping. Lily's afraid and Sabrina's unconscious"

"Oh my. I'll come there with you"

"Please. Lily has just panicked and cried"

"Don't worry. Calm down."

As Lily found me back in the room

"Jared I found this on the table"

"What's this?"

"Jared he was no thief. He someone who knew us"

I read it loud

Love me, hate me

I don't care

I won't leave you

Nor spare

You all will die

Remember, this is not a lie!

-Morris Bellamy

Anyone who helps Sabrina will die!!!

Listen to her and leave her alone.

"So, Morris is still alive and he was the one in our house"
