Days

-Sunday-

I woke up the next day groggy and disoriented. I sat up slowly, groaning and scratching the hair starch out my head. I stretched before I slipped out of bed, but something on the floor stopped me in my tracks. That dress I'd worn lay tangled in a heap right beside my bed. I stared at it wide eyed, the hand in my hair pausing mid-scratch. The memories of last night came rushing back to me, and I nearly screamed.

'I will come for you.'

I kicked back in my bed, sending the sheets flying in the air.

I wanted to forget, I never wanted to go back in that place. I put a hand on my chest, feeling my heart pound. I could feel the start of tears in my eyes. I didn't want to be here. Removing the hand from my chest, I peeled back the curtain beside my bed, letting the early morning sun shine against my face. Maybe it was an hallucination, I thought, as I watched fellow employees make there daily rounds. From my perspective, they were normal. Maybe Koga spiked my drink, I thought darkly, staring out towards the Hotel. I could feel myself lighten at the thought, although it being a terrible one. I refused to believe demons were actually real. What I saw in the club was just my imagination, er whatever koga had laced my drink with. I sighed, pressing my back against the wall and wiped at the tear in the corner of my eye. I slowly crawled out of bed, and shuffled to the bathroom. Anais must've undressed me, leaving me in my bra and undies. It didn't matter, because I still stank. Feeling slightly refreshed, I toweled off before wrapping it around me and going back into my room. I looked at the dress again, and decided to throw it away. I didn't need it anymore, and it held such a bad memory. I picked it up and I could still smell a faint trace of that….that ….

Cringing, I flung it into the trash. Just as it hit the wall and dropped into the bin, a thin, white card fluttered to the ground, landing at my feet.

I think I stopped breathing for several minutes, and just looked at the thing, unsure if I should pick it up or not.

'I will give you seven days to decide.

If I do not hear from you then, I will come for you'

Glaring and small white parcel, I picked it up and ripped it into until it was nothing but confetti falling at my feet. I would forget about him, and everything else that happened that night. I'd already came to the conclusion that I had been drugged, and I'd been seeing strange things afterwards. That man, and what he did to those women….. Sighing, I shook my head, clearing the thoughts. The women turning into those monsters and the party goers turning into demons; I'm pretty sure that was a hallucination. All of it.

Deciding to forget about it, I was just about finished dressing when there was a knock on my door.

"Hey, you in there?" it was Callie.

"Yea, come in." I replied, tying my hair back in a sloppy ponytail.

She stood in the doorway, her uniform slightly rumpled. She looked worn out and tired, and something told me she hadn't got very much sleep the night before. I gave a small smile, and walked over to her side, she had seated herself on my bed.

"you alright?" I asked her, searching her face for an answer.

She yawned before responding. " I'm fine, just tired after watching over you last night."

My eyes widened slightly, "huh?'

She gave me a look, "Yeah, you passed out while me and Anais brought you back to your room. Once we got here, you started screaming, like you were having some kind of nightmare."

Her eyes were full of concern while she told me. " You would quiet down after ten minutes only to start screaming again."

My heart sunk, had I really done that?

"But, I don't remember." I shook my head.

She grabbed my hand and squeezed it softly. "Kissa, I have never seen you act so frightened in my life, and it scared the shit out of me." I could hear the slight crack in her voice, as if she would exploded into tears any minute now.

"What happened back there Kissa? What made you freak out like that?" she continued, looking me straight in my face.

I looked down at our hands clasped together, before meeting her gaze. I gave a shaky sigh before patting her hand.

" I think Koga spiked my drink." I stated. " When I went up to the V.I.P. and met Mr. Taisho, I uh, well he said some things that made me uncomfortable. That's when the affect of whatever Koga sabotaged my drink came into play. I started seeing things that weren't real." I stopped for a moment to look elsewhere in the room, the longer I looked at Callie, the greater the sting of tears became. " That's when I came down the stairs…screaming."

There was silence, and then she hugged me to her, I could feel her shoulder's shaking. I patted her on her back reassuringly, "I'm fine now, I'm not hallucinating or anything." I tried to poke at her sides to cheer her up.

"I'm so sorry, if I would have know he was like that I could have done something." drying her eyes off on her shirt. "I wouldn't have let you talk to him."

"It's okay now, and besides, we didn't know." I say, hoping off the bed.

I grimaced as she blew her nose on my towel. As she slowly got off my bed, she said, " Alright, well I gotta go. My break is over with." she hugged me before she left, and told me to holler if I needed her. I watched her disappear around the corner before I decided to make my way to the office. After that incident, I wasn't sure I could work a full shift without looking after my shoulder every couple of seconds. So with little thought, I decided to take my vacation. That way I had a whole week to do what I wanted, even if it meant staying cooped up in my room.

-Monday-

My week of doing nothing had begun. It was seven in the morning, and I found that I could not just force myself to sleep past my normal routine time. I stared up at my star studded ceiling and huffed. What was I gonna do today? I thought about for a moment before getting ready for breakfast, and meeting up with my friends. Maybe they could help me out.

As we got seated in out usual table, we rambled on about random things before I asked for there opinion. I'd already told them that I was on vacation, I just wanted know what they could think of for me to do.

"They could always use some help in the plant nursery." Callie suggested.

"Maybe some synchronized swimming?" Anais added. "You know the little group they have started here could use some more members."

I thought for a moment. I hadn't been gardening in a while, so the plant nursery would probably keep me busy. Although the swimming did sound more fun, and entertaining. I shrugged before replying, "I think I'll shoot for the nursery." I grinned at my friends, "I haven't played in dirt in a while."

Callie laughed, while Anais mumbled, "Figures."

After departing from our table, we bid each other farewell. They went to work while I headed to the nursery, which was located in the back of the apartment building. We had a small gardening area in the far back corner of the backyard. We also had a basketball and tennis court. The pools were in the basement level of the apartment.

I walked down the well worn path to the garden, noticing a couple of people playing a singles match of tennis. I slowed my pace, and really looked at them. I just wanted to make sure that I was truly alright. I stood and watched them for a minute and breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened. They were just people, nothing else.

After that little experiment, I continued on down the path. I could see one of the veteran employee's kneeling in the dirt, weeding out the garden. Her hair graying hair was held tight in a bun on top her head, the clothes she wore where worn and baggy. Her head bobbed lightly as she worked, and I noticed the closer I'd gotten, I could her humming a light tune. I smiled as I greeted her.

"Good morning Mrs. Smith."

She looked up suddenly, and smiled at me. " Good morning Kissa!" she replied, as I helped her up so she could hug me. "I haven't seen you in a coon's age." she patted me lovingly on my back. The little lady was like a grandma to many of us. I could go to her for anything, whether it be problems with my job or just advice on cleaning. But my schedule changed that. I could no longer visit her during my breaks like I used to, but now, I had a whole week to catch up with her.

I'd told her that I was taking my vacation, and I had decided to help in the garden. She laughed before telling me that it was much needed. She said with a slight frown, that the nurseries had gotten quite wild. She'd done the best she could, but wasn't well or young enough to conquer them both.

With that said, I rolled my sleeves up and rounded my shoulders. It was time to get to work.

-Wednesday-

The nurseries were worse than I thought. I lounged on my bed, enjoying the cool breeze wafting through the vent on the ceiling. I had just gotten out of the shower, and I was now in shorts and I tank top. I helped Mrs. Smith get the garden under control, but the nurseries looked as if nobody ever treaded in there. I couldn't even tell where Mrs. Smith left her dent. Squash vines were every where, the okra had grown as tall as bamboo stalks, and those annoying stinging nettles dotted around the small enclosed area. I sighed to myself, if this one was bad, I could only imagine what the second one would bring. Yesterday was hell, I raged war in that place, and yet, I sighed again, tuning on my stomach, the nursery had won. Today was no different. I hadn't even got a good start before I was getting attacked by ants, and stared down by angry wasp.

I smiled wistfully, maybe this might take longer than I thought.

-Friday-

I wiped my forehead before looking at my work. It had taken some days, but I had finally tamed the nursery. I'd eliminated the ants and wasps first, before taking out the nettles. After that, everything flowed smooth enough that around eleven in the morning, I was finished with the first nursery. I was now working on the second one and to my surprise, wasn't as bad as the first. I wiped my hands against my pant legs. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and I had been up and working ever since seven this morning. I yawned as I stepped out the greenhouse, watching the clouds float by without a care in the world. I wouldn't overwork myself -if I hadn't already- so I decided to leave the rest for tomorrow. Right now, I was going to relax. Take a shower, eat, and chill with my friends for a bit. After I showered, I visited Mrs. Smith before meeting my friends in the cafeteria. As we talked, I told them of my success with the green houses, and both shocked me by telling me they would help me out with the rest of if tomorrow. My smile stretched wide as I thanked them both. After eating, Callie suggested we should all go for a swim. Anais and I agreed, and so after a childishly small food fight, we took off to our rooms and meet up in the hallway, swimsuits in hand.

Once we made if to the pools, we dressed and jumped in. As I watched my two best friends splash each other, and then listening to Anais bicker with Callie for getting her hair wet, I was so happy, no, elated to know that these to people would always be by my side and have my back. I know its sounds somewhat greedy, but I could always depend on them. They were the only thing close enough to me to call family. The tears that fell from my eyes where hidden by the splashes I'd received, after giving some myself. We played like that until the late hours of the day and noticing our wrinkled skin, decided to call it quits. We showered before heading back to rooms, all of us exhausted. As we hugged each other goodnight, I couldn't help but feel slightly lonely as I watched them wander to their rooms. Sighing, I made it to my room and plopped on the bed. Soon, sleep had taken me, and I drifted of into an peaceful slumber, excited to see what

Saturday would bring.

-Saturday-

I woke up bright and early, a grin on my face. Although my vacation was going by rather quickly, I really didn't mind. I was having a great time, and hopefully it would stay this way. I grinned again when I could hear Anais voice right outside my door. It sounded like she was complaining about her clothes.

As I opened my door, I could just catch the tail end of her conversation with Callie.

"I mean, I am wearing the right clothes?" she looked down at herself. She was wearing a dark blue jumpsuit, with her hair tied behind a pink bandanna. Her head snapped up suddenly and she said warily, "There isn't any snakes in there, right?"

They both looked at me in the doorway, and she asked again, "There aren't any snakes?"

I giggled a bit at her outfit before replying, " None as far as I can tell."

I pointed to her jumpsuit. "And why, oh why are you wearing that?"

"You said dress in comfortable clothes." she replied simply, "is it too much?" she asked warily.

'yes' I thought quickly.

"No, your fine. Give me a sec so I can go change." I tell them both, leaving my door open so they could follow me into my room.

Before we left out to the garden, we headed to the cafeteria for lunch. We talked randomly for a while until we finished, and then we headed towards' our destination. Now, there are two different ways to get to the back. You could take direct route, straight through the building, or you could go the alternative, which is the longest. Basically walking out the front of the apartments, and following the sidewalk to the side and then to the back of the apartments. This is the route we took this morning. From here, you could see the hotel in the distance, and the manicured lawns. I watched as the golden rays of the early morning sun glistened off the dew in the lawn and made them sparkle. The street before the apartments were bare of any vehicles making the sight even more peaceful. Although it wouldn't last long. Once we made it to the greenhouse, we set to work. After a few minutes of calming down Anais -a cricket jumped on her hand- we began weeding the rest of the green house. Digging my hands into the soft soil, I firmly pulled the root and weed from it, throwing it into a bag by my side. After that we took a short break, which ended in us spraying each other with water. It was getting hotter and the water fight gave us some sort of relief. We harvested a couple of vegetables that were in season, and replanted some of the plants that didn't make it. Before I knew it, we finished. The plants looked a lot happier too. I looked over at Anais, who was wiping her dirty hands on her pants, groaning about her manicure. I laughed before telling her to get over it. She whined a bit more before taking my advice, and the three of us made our way back, the way we came.

Going back I'd noticed something. Parked neatly at the curb of the apartments was a white, unlabeled van. Thinking nothing of it, we'd just gotten in the building when I watched as men dressed in all black carried small brown boxes out the door and probably to that van. Raising an eyebrow, I asked the obvious, "Is someone moving?"

We watched as another man exited the building. "I don't know." she muttered, holding the door open for yet another mover.

As we made used the elevator to get to our dorms, I couldn't help but feel somewhat troubled, an uneasiness settled in my stomach. I tried to shake it off as we neared our rooms, Anais whining the whole time; sad for who ever was leaving us. I rolled my eyes before telling her, " You probably don't even know who it was." There are over one hundred of us living here, and I'll be damned if Anais knew every single one of them. I swear the girl was over dramatic.

We laughed as we rounded the corner, but I abruptly stopped after seeing those same men in my room, removing boxes of my things. Both Callie and Anais stood beside me, asking the exact question I was thinking. "What the hell are they doing?"

A couple of thoughts went through my mind, both of them concerning the situation. Hopefully they'd made a mistake, and the tenant gave them the wrong number because I know I had no plans on leaving. As I left my friends side, I strode quickly to my opened door, hell bent on asking someone why.

"Excuse me, " I started meekly, trying to catch one of the men returning to my room. As I followed him through my door -I swore I locked it- I continued, "could you-"

And that's when I saw him.

The next word out my mouth disintegrated into thin air as he turned his fierce amber eyes on me. He stood there in the center of the organized chaos in my room, his hands in his pockets, his silver hair lay in cascades down his back, which was covered in a tailored black suit. His gaze never wavered as everything from that night came rushing back, everything I'd tried so hard to forget.

'I'll give you seven days to decide,'

That uneasiness blossomed into full grown fear as I backed away from the door slowly, never taking my eyes off his. I hadn't even realized I'd been saying 'No' over and over again until after I turned and ran down the hallway. I'd ran right into my friends, who weren't even five feet from my door, and now they looked at me worried, because silent tears were streaming down my face. They'd grasp me by shoulders reassuringly, and asked me, "What's wrong?"

I wasn't even paying attention to them because I was too busy looking behind me, watching for him. My eyes widened in horror as I saw one tailored pant leg emerge from the threshold, followed by another.

I was screaming now, ripping myself away from my friends, and lunging further down the hallway. My heart was in my throat, and my head swam with thousands of questions, but the one stuck on repeat was the one the that shocked me the most,

'how did he find me?!'

I was gasping for breath as I made it halfway down the stairs; the elevator was too slow. I was taking them two at a time on shaky legs. Blinded by my tears, and as quickly as I could, I flew down the rest of the stairs and made a grab for the doorknob after chancing a look behind me.

'If I don't hear from you then…'

He stood there, watching me from the first flight of stairs, not a single expression showed on his face; the same as when I first saw him.

'I will come for you.'
