Days passed after her horrifying incident in the house. She was grateful that Malcolm was able to visit her every day and other than bringing her groceries, he was kind enough to lend an ear to listen to her troubles. After the incident, everything was fine again and Anna was glad that she wasn't being attack anymore. For now, that is and she wondered whether it stopped due to Malcolm visiting her. Anna did felt disappointed though because Joey never came since the last visit. Perhaps he was busy, she doesn't know. Better left things at that then.

On the other hand, Malcolm as a companion was a fresh air for her. Though he couldn't stay for too long, the time that they had was great. Nevertheless, Anna wasn't blind to what Malcolm felt for her. A week was clear enough to know that he always compliments her, ask whether she was single and how long she was here. Anna shook her head on the kitchen table, smiling while holding a mug thinking about how Malcolm came yesterday and brought her a bouquet of white roses and even ask her out for a dinner next week since this week he had some delivery he had to go by. Anna was surprised. Didn't think he had that in him seeing how shy he always was and stuttered a bit every time they walk together near the garden behind the mansion. Seems like short distance among them makes him pretty nervous. Thinking of that brought a small chuckle out of her.

Anna eyes wanders towards Brahms doll, sitting directly on her left side, staring at her. Anna would be lying if she is fine with the doll after what happen weeks ago. Now that everything was okay, she became more comfortable hanging around with the doll. She smiles and bent towards the doll, staring directly at its lifeless white porcelain face.

"What do you think, Brahms? Should I go to that date with Malcolm? He seems like a nice guy does he?"

Brahms the doll stays quiet and Anna rest her back on the chair. She sighed.

"I need to get out more. More like get a boyfriend, I think. Look at me again, talking to a doll who I swore tried scared the shit out of me. Damn."


One thing he noticed about Anna was she likes to talk to herself. He chuckled softly seeing her having her lunch. Seeing her do makes him hungry as well. Now he had to wait for her to leave the kitchen just for a few seconds to eat the food she had left for the doll. Despite what he had done to her in which he realized was a shameful thing to do because as much as he was angry at Anna, for her to be hurt, bleed and even cry in fear was not what he wishes for her. In fact, it goes against everything he had planned for her.

Seeing how Malcolm constantly came to visit him. He had warned Malcolm but the man won't quit. He still come to her and act as if he belongs there. Brahms hates it but seeing how Malcolm also successfully cheered her after her ordeal, he decided to stay calm and control his temper more. Something he understand he has been lacking of.

After what she has gone through, he decided to punish himself for it. Meals after meals was left for the doll which was intended for him, he decided not to take the food, one of the reason why Anna wasn't too suspicious of the house. For almost a week, he decided to starve himself and drank only water to at least survive. Now that Anna's wound has healed, Brahms decided that it was time to break his fast, as weird as it sounds. It didn't matter though for he knows that he deserves it. That's the only thing he could think of since his mother used to that to him when she caught him crushing a bird in his fist. Back then, after the accident, his mother would punish him not eating and locked him one of the secret rooms within the walls for a day. Somehow the act of killing itself scares his mother very much and in doing so would make her reminisce of the day he killed the monster who terrorized Anna. What he had forgot to tell her was the damn bird was already hurt and its feet was broken with its body had a deep scratch on it after the neighbor's cat became too playful. All he wanted to do was to end its suffering. Killing is killing though. That was all his mother decided to see so rather than pushing things too far, Brahms kept his mouth shut and accepts whatever punishment she wish to be brought on him. If it calms her, then why not. He had no objections

Now that he had found out Anna will be alone for this whole week since Malcolm won't be coming, he decided that it is time Anna should know his existence bits by bits. Some time and clues would be helpful. He understands now by keeping his existence a secret would be impossible for them to be together. He has to try to convince her that he will be good for her, loving, protective and loyal to her just as they were a child. Perhaps they would get married too, he thought to himself. He pictures Anna wearing a white dress just like the pic his mother had when she was married. She would be an angel. How his heart burns to have that moment with her. All he has to do now is to put everything to action. He sighed, feeling a tad glad that now, his existence will not be a secret anymore. To her that is.


Anna was just finish washing the dishes. Feeling tired, she went to the living room and just take a rest on the couch, lying down and stretched her arms and legs. Then, she switched on the old TV situated right in front of her and put both her hands behind her head. Seeing how most of the channels were either British news and documentaries, she sighed and switched off the TV. Looking around the large living room, her eyes was surprised to see a record on the table.

She frowned, feeling odd how this huge disc was mysteriously on the coffee table of the living room. She would have known it was there earlier since she did go and cleaned up the living room, weeks ago and no one came into the house other than Malcolm. And again, maybe it actually was Malcolm that came and put it there, she thought. He did say he have something that might cheer her up after her ordeal. Didn't know what he meant by that, though.

Anna took the disc and look over it. It wasn't placed in a packet or a disc film. What music it was, she had no idea but nothing wrong in listening to it.

Anna stood and walk towards the vintage record player and put the record on place. As soon as she placed the needle on the records, she quickly flopped on the couch and made herself comfortable. Slowly a soft tune grace the living room and Anna heart's skipped a beat. Her once dozed eyes as she became familiar with the music. The soft tune of the piano playing in the background, gentle sway of the music that sounds so warm yet a bit sad. Anna became entranced with the piano tune and her eyes closed for a moment as memories that the music brought to her flood her mind on how she first came to know that music. She smiled.


"Brahmsy, should we watch this? What if your parents find out?"

"It's fine, Anna. Papa's working and mama's at aunt Sophie's house. They won't be here till evening."

"Are you sure? There is naked people in the movie. I don't think we should watch this."

Both Anna was sitting on the floor while Brahms himself is lying down on his stomach watching the TV in. They were currently watching "Blue Lagoon" which they find out was a hit movie at that time. Seniors and some kids were talking about this movie at school and how great it was. As soon as Anna heard that, she was quick to tell Brahms about it just for the sake of telling him about how everyone was excited about the new film. She never would've expect Brahms to quickly get his hands on a tape recorder of that movie. When she asks him how he was able to get his hands on the recently released movie, he told her it was a secret and she must only watch it, not make her pretty little head worried about where he got it, his words, not hers.

Anna shook it off knowing that Brahms family is quite close to the local cinema house and must have got from there. Anna just push that thought away and looking forward to watch the movie till in the middle scene, she blushed at what had happen between the two character, 'Richard' and 'Emmeline', who had gone through some ordeals and fights until they both had made up and quick to find themselves quite fancy with each other.

Anna can't help but feel shy watching the scene where these two love birds was very touchy, right after poor Emmeline got hurt and as soon as Richard done nursing him, they were again, very touchy. Brahms on the other hand was rather curious and very well enjoying himself.

"Brahmsy, its weird and icky." Anna groaned.

Brahms with his eyes still taped on the TV says, "Well, you've wanted to watch this. Why are you shy all of a sudden?" There was a small glee in his voice.

"I..I am not shy! Its icky. They can't stop kissing!"

Brahms was quiet and quickly, the movie stops to the part of a black and white picture that shows an older man and a woman was kneeling down and both was wearing wedding outfits. Then, the screen moves to 'Richard' and 'Emmeline' well-dressed than they originally were and dancing to a music box in the background. Emmeline was wearing white gown with ruffles and lace that fits her nicely.

Anna stopped whining and she was in a daze watching the rather romantic scene with the sweet tune. Brahms must've have realized that too as he stood up and turn to Anna. Anna remain undisturbed, watching the dancing in a trance. Brahms stretched out his palm at her and says, "Would you like to dance with me, my lady?"

Anna turns to him and tilt her head with a smile. Her blue eyes sparkles and Malcolm eyes became wider and he smiled too.

"What are you doing, Brahmsy?"

"Would you like to dance with me, Anna? Please?"

Anna giggled and put her fingers on Brahms palm. Brahms pulled her gently to him right after turning to the TV and rewind to the early part where both characters dancing.

Brahms and Anna was both holding hands and they sway from side to side, dancing innocently, looking at each other's eyes with a glee on their cheeks.

It wasn't a ballroom dance or anything fancy. Just two children dancing their hearts away despite the movie already moving towards the next scene. Somehow, whatever sound that plays in the background, they couldn't hear it as they were twirling around and around to the music in their head.

As their feet slows down a bit, Brahms eyes was sealed tight to her pink lips and Anna who noticed his eyes too smiled a little. With a blink of an eye, Brahms's lips landed on Anna s' which leaves her breathless. Her eyes were open wide looking so surprised. She didn't push him away though and just like Brahms, closed her eyes and can't help but embracing the sweet innocent moment happily.

Brahms then slowly pulled away for what felt like a few seconds, leaving the warm pink lips and stare back at her. His grayish green and her blue eyes was staring intently on each other. A small giggle slipped out from their lips and they continue to twirl around, as if celebrating and delighting on the moment they finally had their first kiss. Their ears falls deaf to the sound around them. Perhaps a little too distracted that they weren't aware Brahms parents has returned home.

"Oh my Lord! George! Look at what this kids are watching!"


Anna giggled to herself in the empty living room as she reminisces the old memories. How funny was it when Brahms end up getting scolded with her and the boy who was working at the cinema at that time, aka, Brahms resource, the son of the movie theater that lend him that tape for 10 pounds. Despite being scolded, they can't stop looking at each other and chuckled at how funny it was.

Anna relaxed back at the sweet melody of Chopin for 'Nocturne op. 9 No. 2', the same tune played in the movie. After a while, Anna decided to call it a night and removed the record, placed it next to the music box. She yawned and walked towards the hallway when a sound stopped her.

She heard the music box plays the same tune again and shivers ran down her skin. Anna turn and walk back the living room and saw the music box was indeed playing. Her eyes were wide as she was struggling to understand what had open. Didn't she remove the records? Why isn't it on the table, she thought to herself. Anna walk back toward the music box and put it away again, making sure that it turned off and continue to walk back to the room.

As soon as she reached in front of the room, the music box plays again and Anna froze. Fear ran down her body and without returning to the living room, Anna quickly rushed into her room and locked it. Backing away from the door, she sat on the bed.

Anna finds that her breathing was getting hard as fear was slowly enveloping her. She was scared that she was going to get hurt again and the thing that disturbs her before was going to scare her again. She looks around for Brahms doll and saw it sat on the chair next to her wardrobe. It was there the whole time, she remembers and a part of her was glad that it stays there.

Then, the light in the room went off and Anna screamed loudly and hard at the sudden darkness. Sounds of fast footsteps can be heard and that makes her even more terrified. Tears wet her cheeks as they won't stop falling. Her nightmare was replaying itself. Darkness! She hates the darkness but before she was about to bolt, the room lights up again and Anna was breathing hard.

She was shocked to see Brahms doll was sitting next to her and Anna quickly bolt to the door but finds it locked from the outside and can't seem to get out. She cries, feeling so scared. She turns as slides down to the floor as her back leans on the wooden door. She gripped her head with both her head and pray for everything that tries to hurt or haunt her stops. Feeling a bit calm, she stops crying even though tears still flows down her cheek.

She looks right back at Brahms doll and notice a folded paper on is lap. Anna felt a bit confuse and walks slowly towards the doll with all her might, whatever that was left with it and grab the paper slowly. Her hands were shaking.

As she unfolds the paper, she was stunt to see what was written there.

I'm sorry. Please don't be scared. I didn't mean to hurt you.

She never thought she would feel this way but a small weight of fear just lifts off her shoulder and she relaxed a bit. Again, the fear was still there. Of course she is scared, who wouldn't be after going through darkness and something unseen stalking you. Anna's gaze turns to Brahms doll and she forced herself to speak.

"W..wh..what are you? I mm..mean who are you? What do you want?"

Anna could hear sound coming from the walls around her and fear crept up her bone yet again. Lights was off again for a moment and Anna swore she was about to faint when the room lights up again and found a piece of paper on the floor.

Anna turn her head left to right and see that no one was there and Brahms doll is still on the bed untouched. Anna sighed and grab the paper on the floor and read it.

Don't you know me, Anna? Didn't you told me you belong to me? I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry.

Anna frowned. She at first, didn't understand what the paper meant then a switch clicked inside her. It couldn't be...

"What do you mean I know you? Since when I promised you anything? Please, please stop doing this! Whoever you are, you are scaring me. If you are actually sorry for trying to hurt me, then stop doing this!"

Again, the lights were off again. Rather than feeling scared as she did a few minutes ago, she became annoyed and raised her voice.

"Stop doing that you bastard! If you try to talk to me, show yourself in front of me! Stop playing with the damn lights!"

The light turns on again and another paper was next to her. She quickly grabs it.

Do you wish to see me, Anna?

"Yes! I don't care anymore. I just want so see you. Who are you! You can't be him! You can't be my Brahms so stop playing with my feelings like this!" She couldn't stop the tears that already flows down her cheek. She started to cry on the floor and sobbed. Anger and sadness drown her heart knowing that someone knows the thing about her and Brahms and using it to scare her. How cruel can they be? She didn't know what she did to deserve this but to use Brahms as a tool to scare and angers her.

"Please don't do this to me. Whoever you are, please stop! Don't do this to me! Don't do this to me and him. He didn't deserve this. Brahms didn't do anything. Why are you doing this? Just tell me who you are."

After a moment of silence, a loud rumbles came from her left side of the walls and the sound look like it was travelling towards the huge mirror, sticks on the wall. Anna's eyes widen in fear and she crawls backward towards her bed. Her heart starting to beats so fast.

The loud rumbles stop. Then she noticed that mirror was shaking. The longer it shook, the harder the force shaking it became. When it stops, Anna screamed as the mirror suddenly broke into thousand s of pieces when a fist smashed through the mirror outside the wall. She closed both of her ears and her eyes was wide shut! Anna screamed in fear. Her feet were fast running towards the door but again, it was locked. Sounds came from behind her with what's left of the broken frame and mirror. She cries while shouting for help.

Out of nowhere, a large hand grip her shoulder and Anna's screamed locked in her throat. She was gasping for air and froze in her spot, looking towards the door rather than the perpetrator behind her. For a moment, she thought that she was about to die. Surely whatever it was, it had become mad after her tantrum and wish to kill her. Why would he made an effort to break the mirror, the poor wall to meet her?

Then, a rough, manly, deep coarse voice spoke behind her.

"Anna. My sweet Anna. The Wendy to my Pan."

The big hand was gently stroking her golden curls.

Anna gasped. She was very confused and scared. Why did he say that? As a matter of fact, how did he knows that line. No one calls her that. Not anymore since the only person that ever use that line on her was..

Anna slowly turn back and shock at what stands before her. A huge figure of a man, so big and buff that she had to raise her head to stare at him. It was weird since there was no face to look at all. He wore a mask. The mask she had gave to Brahms. His hair was a tad too long, falls to his forehead in messy cut. He wore a white tank with a dark green wool cardigan that looks too small on his big stature. She noticed that his right hand was bleeding and the blood was dripping on the carpeted floor.

Again, he moved his hands, scaring Anna that she closed her eyes tightly shut and tries to shield her face with her hands. He was fast and he was able to place his palm on her cheeks and Anna was surprised at his gentle move.

Anna open her eyes and stare at him.

"Don't you remember me, Anna? Please, remember me? I remembered you. Always."

His voice was very rough and coarse. So rough that it sounds like he had never spoke in his life. The vibration of his voice sends shivers down her spine but it wasn't the fear anymore. She felt more relax. The voice soothes her that she didn't even realize her palm was also moving towards his face. She was stroking his rough stubble cheek.

"It can't be you..." She whispers.

His hands cover hers and right at that moment, when Anna's eyes stare closely at his, she was faced with a sudden revelation. As she finally realizes who was in front of her, her body shuts down in shock and all she could see was darkness consuming her with a distance memory enveloping her dreams.


"How was the story, Brahms?"

Brahms raised his head looking at Anna lying down on the bed looking at her while he was on the floor sitting, reading his book."

"It's great, Anna. You should read it. Do you want to?"

"Oh, its fine. You can read it first. I don't mind you telling me what it's about. I barely know what it is."

Brahms smiled and close the book, put it next to him.

"Well, it's about a boy named Peter Pan. You see, Pete Pan is special because he can't grow old nor he lives in our world. He lives at the 'second star at the right and straight off till morning'."

"What kind of place is that?" Anna frowned.

"I don't know. That's what he says." Brahms nodded his shoulder.

"Alright then. What else?"

"Well, Peter Pan lived in this island name Neverland with a bunch of lost boys where they have great adventure every day. There, he never has to grow up and he can do whatever he wants."

"Anything he wants? Wow, I bet he can sleep late every night and never have to brush his teeth! And sweets? I bet he can eat it all the time!" Anna squealed in glee.

"I think so. Perhaps he did. He didn't have a parents though."

Anna face turns sad. "Aw, poor Peter Pan. Is he okay?"

Brahms smiled and placed his palm on Anna's cheek.

"Don't be sad, sweet Anna. Of course he is okay. Even though he had no parents, he was happy. He had a very special friend. A girl, actually."

"Who was it?" Anna asked.

"It's a girl. Her name was Wendy. You see, Wendy, lives in a house somewhere in London. Every night, she would tell stories about Peter Pan to her brothers and Peter Pan would always sneaked outside of her window just to listen to the stories. Especially the ones about him."

"Aww, That's so sweet. I bet Peter likes her very much. If he didn't he wouldn't have gone to her every night just to listen to her, right? Oh, I like this kind of stories so much, Brahmsy."

"Perhaps he did, I don't know, Anna." He was silent for a while before he continues, "You know what, you're right. I think he did. I think he do likes her. Peter likes Wendy. Just like how I like you."

Anna tilted her head with a smiled.

"Really? You like me like how Peter like Wendy?"

"Of course. The story also tells how Peter took her to Neverland and brings her around to share his adventure. He always protects her and make sure that she is happy. I too would like to protect you and see you happy, Anna."

"Ooh. That's sweet. So you're my Peter and I'm your Wendy then?"

Brahms nodded. His eyes were gleaming with happiness. "Yup. You are my Wendy to my Pan."

"Always?"

"Always."
