Chapter One
Olivia woke up the sound birds on the tree across from her flat, chirping away to the heat of the sun that began to burn up and bright in the sky as it rose slowly up higher. As she flicked the strands of hair off her face and began to try open her eyes much to the force that wouldn't allow her to start the new day, she pulled through. The first few moments she saw was her ceiling and the reflection out the life outside through the slits of her blinds that made dancing motion above her head. As she slide out of bed, her back supporting her slim figure and lifting the rest of her body up to an upright position and held her still while she proceeded to move across the flat into the bathroom to wash her face with cold water from the tap, only hoping to wake herself up before indulging with coffee. She looked around her flat while drying her hair, the towel becoming quickly wet and smelling of the shampoo she had just applied, she noticed how much of an unliveable place lived in. the only item that could be considered homely was the picture frame with her and her niece on the rollercoaster from the previous year. As she got dressed in her usual smart but casual clothing, she re-positioned her hair and looked into the mirror, trying to realise how she felt about her image before the leaving the house and reporting to work.
As she walked down to find her car that she had parked on the road the night before, she checked her phone, seeing she had a message already this early in the morning from Peter; "Come to lab" he was always blunt with his texts, never showing any indication of how much of an importantance this could be or whether or not it was just to collect a donut. As she got in the car, adjusting the seat before firmly getting into the right gear and headed towards the Harvard building ready to confront the Bishops.
She walked into the lab, looking around, she couldn't see any movement nor any sounds. Normally this early in the morning Walter would be in the lab feeding some animal he was hiding from Peter or eating candy and singing along to the radio. But there was nothing. Complete silence. This worried Olivia, she wasn't used to silence in other places except her own mind or her own flat. She walked around investigating the lab like a crime scene, checking and smelling the candy that laid over the worktop seeing it if had been touched recently and try indicating when he was here last. She looked around seeing no coats, or hats nothing. She then heard the sound of footsteps and turned around seeing someone she hadn't seen since she was a child. A man, who had haunted her mind, stopped her sleeping, bruised her ego and her beauty. Turned every fairytale into a nightmare with his dark magic and evil eyes.
"Well aren't you going to say hello, Livy?" he cunningly asked her, his voice sounding like a dream that she'd never woke up from. The bitter sound bursting her ear drums.
