"Ready For Your Worst"
Meanwhile the bell rang again causing her body to shiver in fear.
Now, the bell was ringing again and again. Scared, she got up and headed towards the door.
"W- who" a weak voice came out of her throat.
"Mam parcel" a voice of a middle aged person passes through her ear making her feel at peace.
"Who's parcel? She asked.
"It's...of Ms Jenna". Emilia felt relieved as she heard Jenna's name.
"Kindly leave at the door," she said, still cautious.
"But mam I need your sign as that's compulsory". His nervous response came.
"Okay" compulsively she opened the half door and instantly grabbed the document she signed it and closed the door.
It happened in such a brief moment that the delivery man couldn't even get to see her face.
He shrugged his shoulders and walked off from there.
"Oh, Jenna! You should've told me about this coming!" I got scared for nothing! Emilia said looking at the parcel.

"Speak up," Rayven said to the same person with whom he had talked yesterday as he was still sitting by the window.
"Sir, we have spotted her sneaking out of the mall in the CCTV cam of the entrance" he informed!
"So?" Rayven didn't sound excited.
"Sir, we are now tracking the number of the taxi in which she ran away"!
"Stop giving me this useless information! Tell me when you find her!" The calm lake started to form ripples as his eyes were immediately covered with icy flames.
"S- sorry Sir" the man jumped in his place with his tone.
"Now get lost and only come when you find where she is!" Rayven roared low key.
That man instantly bowed his head and ran out of the room.
And Rayven continued to enjoy watching the dusk outside.

"Good evening my Darling Emilia" Jenna chirped as she entered the house only to find Emilia standing right in the front with her arms crossed and a serious looking face.
"What? Is there something wrong? Jenna's smile faded.
Emilia quietly pointed towards the parcel.
Jenna followed the direction of her hand.
"Oh, I had ordered a bag. But I'm not sure if its shipment was today! Jenna pretends to think while placing her on her chin.
"Oh, come on Jenna! You should've told me beforehand that you will be expecting a delivery today. I was scared to death when someone was outside the door and it was not you" Emilia complained, nearly crying.
"Aw my baby" Emilia pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry. I totally forgot! Jenna solaced her.
"And Emilia, not even in his dream he'd think that you're here okay! So stop worrying! Everything would eventually get back to normal. Jenna patted her back.
"And look, I brought you "doughnuts".
"Are you still mad?! Jenna held up a box high as she said excitedly.
Emilia's eyes sparkled like a child as she saw doughnuts.
"Okay, I'm forgiving you this time just because of doughnuts. Next time don't expect this from me" Emilia snatched the doughnuts from her as she said giggling.
"Okay sure, madam!" Jenna was happy for her friend like that.
"How was your day over all?! Jenna asked, taking off her coat and putting it on the cloth stand.
"Yeah, good" Emilia simply replied as she was busy admiring the doughnuts.
"You're still a child," Jenna said, looking at her.

"Sir, May I come in? A man dressed in the attire of the personal guard asked for his permission, respectfully.
"Hm" came his response as he turned his head to look at him.
In his room it was intensely quiet. Just like the quiet before the storm.
Rayven's hairs were spread all over his bright forehead. His eyes were giving the glimpse of redness as he couldn't get enough sleep. Dressed in a pitch black robe sitting on a king size comfortable chair near the window, he looked like the prince of darkness. Even his rough look was making him look heavenly.
"Sir we-
"Where is she? Rayven asked to cut him off because he knew that no one would dare to set foot in his den unless it was the news of his meaning.
If his reporter was there, it means he had found her already.
"Sir, Ms Emilia is staying at her friend's place! He informed me.
"Which friend?" Rayven investigated further.
"Her name is Jenna. She's currently working as a content creator at different online platforms. Firstly, Ms Emilia had gone to her parents house but they weren't living there anymore as he had sold their house some while ago. So at the end Ms Jenna must've been the only option for her so Ms Emilia went to her". That man explained as if he were telling a tale.
"Hm, quite clever steps" Rayven spoke amused.
"What's her address? Rayven sat straight in his seat as he asked.
"Sir, her address is "Rimin street, house no 1323, Jiza accounts" that man told like a doll with key.
"Ahan" Rayven gave a satisfied look to the man.
"Now save yourself if you can, little on- I mean...Emilia"! Get ready to be punished! I told you that I will find you no matter what! Even if you'd be hiding in the core of the earth! And look I did it! And I am not going to be easy on you this time!" Rayven smirked with satisfaction while speaking internally.
"Let's go," Rayven said.
"Eh, yes sir? Guard asked, confused.
"I. Said . Let's. Go" Rayven repeated in a serious tone.
"S- sir, I- I mean to ask "now"? That bulky man dressed in a suit stammered in front of him.
"Yes. You heard me right! "Now! Rayven said.
"But sir-
"But what?! If I am saying now, then that means now!" Rayven's voice became stern as he said.
"Yes sir! I'll prepare your car right away.
"Hm, okay! And call Jeremy too! Ask him to join me!" He gave another order.
"Right, Sir" that man bowed his head and then walked out of the room.
"BE READY FOR YOUR WORST, EMILIA!"
"AS I AM COMING TO GET YOU" Rayven whispered in a demonic voice.
