Sunday, 10:15 P.M.
Mrs. Maria Ocampo's P.O.V.
"Janice! Why are you still awake? It's the middle of the night," I asked Janice while Madge and I were still startled by her sudden appearance at the bedroom door.
"Mommy, I had a nightmare," she said, rubbing her eyes.
Madge and I exchanged looks. Then, I slowly approached her. I was trembling. "J-Janice, what did you dream about? C-come here."
She hugged me. "I dreamed about... ARA." I immediately pulled away from the hug.
"What did you dream about Ara?" Madge asked decisively. "I-I saw Ara... in my dream," Janice replied.
Again, Madge and I looked at each other. Then I turned back to Janice. "Where did you see her?"
"I-In my dream, I-I was p-peeking at h-her." She could hardly speak. "S-She was inside a spacious... bathroom. She was sitting in a bathtub."
"What was she doing in the bathtub? Was she bathing?" Madge asked. Janice shook her head. "S-She was covered in blood and then... then..." I suddenly felt nervous. "Then what?!"
"Then... s-she saw me peeking at her..." Fear was evident on her face.
I held Janice's hand. It was freezing. "Do you know where that place is? Huh?"
My daughter shook her head again.
Madge and I looked at each other once more. She turned to my daughter. "What did you do when you saw her looking at you?"
"I was scared so... I slammed the bathroom door shut." She was tearing up. I immediately hugged her. "Shhh... there now."
"Janice, what do you think she was doing inside the bathtub?" Madge asked again.
Janice looked up. "I-It was like she was undoing a chain from her... body."
It was my turn to ask. "And then, Janice, what happened next?" I caressed her face. I could feel her shaking.
"A-Afterward... I saw HER again..." The fear in her voice was obvious. "Where?" Madge and I asked simultaneously.
Trembling, she raised her right hand. "RIGHT THERE..." "...behind YOU!"
