Chapter 18 I Dreamt that Chloe Was Dead The following morning , the Sanders arrived to take Anna home from the hospital . I noticed my parents looked exhausted , likely from a lack of sleep , probably due to their concern for Annas health . Mom , Dad , didnt you get enough rest ? My mom massaged her temples , That troublesome girl , Chloe , has been stirring up too much chaos lately , and now Im having nightmares because of her . You dreamt about Chloe too ? my dad asked , looking at my mom in disbelief . Even Luke , who was getting ready to leave for work , paused . Yeah , remember how that girl faked her death before ? I dreamt she actually died this time . Its not unusual for one person to have this kind of dream , but its a bit odd when multiple people experience the same dream at the same time . Suddenly , Anna spoke up , Could it be that Chloe … Luke quickly cut her off , Thats impossible ! Chloe cant be dead ! Anna quickly remarked , Luke , youre mistaken . I was actually thinking about why Chloe chose Cloudville , a place known for its cult activity , instead of somewhere else . Ive heard that some cultists on the border use dark rituals to harm others . Lately , none of you have been at peace , and I almost died yesterday . Could it be that Chloe … My mom slammed her hand on the table , No wonder I cant sleep at night . Did that girl curse us with some evil spell ? My dad quickly tried to calm my mom down . He was easily swayed and usually let her make all the decisions at home . It was uncommon for him to speak up for me , In the end , were family . Why would we want to harm her ? Plus , all of that is just outdated superstition , nothing to take seriously . A few people helped Anna out of the hospital . As they were leaving , I could still hear Annas voice , lightly teasing , Mom , I was just joking . Dont think too much of it . My mom responded , When that girl comes back , Ill have a serious talk with her . I trailed behind Luke , noticing the concern etched on his face . He appeared unfocused throughout the day . Things didnt get better . In fact , they worsened . Every night , he would wake up from nightmares , soaked in sweat . My phone remained out of service . He tried to book a flight to Cloudville , but either the flights were canceled due to bad weather or all the tickets were sold out . As my grandmas birthday approached , he eventually abandoned the idea altogether . Just like the Sanders , he was convinced I would return for my grandmas birthday . But unfortunately , I wasnt able to make it back .

Luke took Anna to an auction with the plan of purchasing an antique with a positive meaning for Grandma . Anna leaned close to Luke and murmured , I heard Ornate Pavilion has some great items . Luke had been struggling with sleep lately , his face showing signs of exhaustion and his eyes appearing dull . He responded , Yeah , Ill get you whatever you want . Youre the best , Luke . While Anna spoke , she attempted to cuddle closer to him . He reached out , gripping her arm , his eyes filled with caution . Why worry ? Its completely dark here , no one can see us , Anna murmured softly . Luke firmly replied , Thats enough . Luke … Anna pressed against his arm with impatience . The auction is about to begin . Look around and see if anything catches your eye , Luke said , trying to change the subject . From a distance , I noticed someone snapping a photo of the two being intimate . Who could it be ? This isnt the first time . Ive observed over the past few days that someone has been tailing Luke . Whenever hes with Anna , this person takes photos . Anna didnt realize that she had been captured in hundreds of photos . Who could it be ? Is this someone trying to destroy Lukes family ? Whoever it is , if they can reveal the secret between Luke and Anna on my behalf , they are my ally ! Ornate Pavilion is an underground auction venue where you can discover all sorts of rare and unusual items , whether visible or hidden . Ive been here before , but for some reason , today I felt a strange sense of unease . It didnt take long to understand why . The first item on the auctions big screen was a heavyweight treasure beaded bracelet , a Sacred Nine eyed bracelet . The masked auctioneer on the side explained that this beaded bracelet features two Nine eyed beads from the ancient kingdom , which were consecration by priests and are believed to protect against evil and bring good fortune . Hearing that it could provide protection and good luck , Anna quickly leaned in and whispered to Luke , Luke , youve been feeling uneasy lately . Why not bid on this bracelet ? Luke stared intently at the bracelet , feeling an inexplicable urge within him to place a bid . After the auctioneers description , many of the wealthy attendees were already intrigued . Besides the bead collectors , many were drawn by the allure of old superstitions . A woman in a peplum dress carried a tray . As she lifted the black cloth , I was instantly captivated by a powerful force . Ah ! I wasnt sure what was coming next . All I felt was a sudden darkness before my eyes , and then my body seemed to vanish . When I opened my eyes again , I found myself in a dimly lit VIP seat with a bidding sign raised .
