Chapter 20

• The night was quiet and soundless. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The moon's presence was replaced with millions of twinkling stars. The lock of Lilian's room turned and soon a gentle click of the door closing could barely be heard. Lilian opened her eyes slightly and a dark figure which stood in the corner caught her eye. She ignored it. It was probably just the shadow of a tree or something. She turned and continued to sleep peacefully. But then again, what would a tree be doing in her room? Soon she felt pressure on the e corner of her bed. She opened her eyes a little but didn't turn. Maybe it was just her imagination. Soon the pressure increased. She was now fully awake but dared not move. Was it a burglar or something? Soon she could feel the figure directly above her, it's warm breath on the back of her neck. She was frozen in a spot. She didn't know what to do. Soon a warm hand pushed her hair away from her neck.
• Lilian couldn't take it anymore. She pounced on the figure. The figure struggled hard but she was able to give it two hard punches and jumped out of the bed towards the light switch. She flicked it and she saw Damian holding his face in pain. What on earth was he doing creeping around her room at night? Was he crazy?
• Damian gave Lilian a death stare. He touched his lips; luckily there was no blood. Was it just him or were her punches getting more and more painful? He felt his jaw. It felt like it had been dislocated. He made a few mouth movements to make sure.
