A new beginning
It all started on the most special day of Ariadne!
Her 20th birthday.. Yet her life is about to change 180°
Date: 5th December 2020
Ariadne
(Running in the university hall way)
Pant* pant*
Of all days, why did I forget my phone in the library!!!
I have a part time shift tonight and it's already 8pm!!
I must be crazyyy.. Why haven't I left my brain in the library instead 🤦♀️
UGHHHHH..
Ariadne
Thankfully enough my dearest friend Mimi found it and is waiting for me in the library! 🙏
Pant* pant*
Almost there!!
(grabbing the door handle.. Opening the door..)
Mimi

Everyone turns in the library 👀👀👀👀.. The librarian says: Please keep quiet!!
Mimi

Ariadne
Mimi.. 😣
I am soooo touched by the surprise and the cake.. But I fear that I can't spend time with you tonight.. 😞
You know.. My part time shift tonight...
Ariadne
I feel so bad to tell you this but sorr-...
Ariadne
😞😞😞 I am really sorr-..
Ariadne
🤨🤨🤨 Why are you laughing..? What's the strange look on your face 🤔🧐
Ariadne

Have you gone mad at last!!!
Mimi
😂🤭... Pfft.. No hhh.. It's just your face.. You were apologizing sincerely 😂😂😂😂
Mimi
.. Don't worry I have arranged everything.. I called your boss and told her you will take the 10 pm shift.. She is so kind she agreed!! So let's not waste time and let's go and celebrateeeeee 🎉🥳🥳🥳
Ariadne

Mimi

Ariadne
You are insane 😂😂😂 and I love itttt!! Let's go thennnnnn ❤️
After the beautiful, happy, joyful, crazy birthday party...
Mimi
We reached your workplace on time.. 😉
Ariadne
Thank youuuuu sooo muchhhhh!! ❤️🥺
At that moment, Ariadne couldn't tell Mimi that no one ever celebrated with her her birthday.. And that Mimi was the first person to do so.. She was really touched.. But couldn't express it.. All she could say is thank you..
Mimi
*Immediately holds Ariadne's hand*
We are friends after all!!
We might not share the same blood.. But we share a strong bond 😉
They both hug tightly.. Ariadne thinks to herself.. Right.. We are friends.. We are so close.. Even our birthdays are on the same month..
But why can't I tell Mimi about my personal life? Why am I a coward?
She smiles and brushes the thought of her head and says bye to Mimi.
Ariadne
Serves tables* exhausted*
Pant* pant*
It's already 12 midnight.. It was hectic today as it's the weekend! I gotta go change quickly..
Goes out of "Happy Chicken* restaurant (her working place)
She starts walking in the streets.
Ariadne
Mmmm.. So what do I have to do for tomorrow.. Ohh the report I must finish it and then prin-.. ...
Ariadne
Looks back immediately*
Ariadne
This feeling again..
Ariadne
It had been a few weeks now that I get the feeling that someone is following me...
Ariadne
Maybe it's just my imagination... *Turns and starts walking again*
Suddenly the street lights start to fickle.. On and off
Ariadne
This feeling again..
She feels someone walking slowly behind her, watching her..Yet, she feels scared.. She can't move.. She wants to run!! Her heart is beating fast.. Her breath is unsteady... The street is empty.. No one to helppppp
Ariadne
I gotta look back.. Be strong Ariadne! After all I am a first Dan black belt taekwondo girl!! I must be braveee!
The moment she looks back....
The breeze passes by the empty street!!
Ariadne
Pant* pant* shake*.. No one.. As I expected.. This had been happening to me for the past few weeks... 😔
Ariadne
I am sure I saw a shadow behind me.. Who is it? Am I only imagining..?
Ariadne
I have to be more careful! 👀Checks the street again*
Ariadne finally reaches home!
But is that the end..?
Kevin
Finally!! I think I found you..
Kevin
No more hide and seek.. The fun is just about to begin!!
The hoodie-guy
Date: 6th December 2020 ( 1:00 am)
As soon as Ariadne reached home, she felt safe and decided to take a shower to help her relax.
She then changed into her warm pajamas and jumped on the bed while constantly looking at her phone.
Ariadne
.. mmmmm.. 🤔
What should I get Mimi for her birthday?
Her birthday is literally on the 9th and I haven't yet thought of any gift!!!!
Ariadne
Ughhhhhh!! Thinkkkk!!
.. It should be special!!
What can make Mimi happy..?
Ariadne
Perfume..? Tsk tsk, it's too common..
Jewellery..? Tsk tsk, it's too classy...
Bath set..?.. I am sure she has many..
Clothes..?.. Nahhhh~
Ariadne
These websites are really outdated... UGHHHHH!! I am going maddddd!
Ariadne starts tossing in the bed.. Kicking and punching the pillow!
Suddenly, she sits up!
Her eyes are widely opened and a smirk starts forming on her delicate lips.
Ariadne
Yeschhhh!!
I am such a genius to think of this ideaaa Mannnn!
How can such a genius like me exist in this world?!! 🤓😏🤭
Ariadne
But I need to sleep now.. It's already 2am!!
I will start preparing the gift tomorrow then!! 😊
Ariadne immediately covers herself in the blanket.
She starts closing her eyes in hopes to fall asleep..
Yet past memories keep on haunting her on every birthday.
A little 4 year old girl shaking in fear, hiding in a closet..
Strangers invading the house and breaking all furnitures..
Her mother's last breaths..
The blood pool covering the house..
A horrifying past.. And many questions left unanswered..
Yet, Ariadne pushed all the scary thoughts aside just by holding on to her emreld necklace.
A necklace that was gifted to her by her mother on her 4th birthday. ( sadly, it was the last gift too..)
Slowly she starts falling asleep and drowns in the world of dreams.
Kevin
It's finally time to meet you Eve!!
Ariadne
What is this place..? A forest..? It's soo dark here...
Looks around carefully and anxiously
Ariadne
This place is really scary.. *shakes*
There would be no snakes here, right??
Ariadne
Omooo Mammiiiii!! 😱
Ariadne
.. Ohhh.. It's just a falling tree branch.. 😑
Ariadne
Hehe-he.. he~( scared laugh)..
I knew it 😬
Quickly, from behind Ariadne, a tall, strong-looking, anonymous guy in a black hoodie appears.
Ariadne
Y-ye-s..?? Exc-cuse me.. You tal-king to me..??
Kevin
Is there anyone else then?
He slowly starts approaching her
Ariadne
.. St-stu-pid... M-me..?
She slowly takes steps to the back... While carefully watching her steps as well as him!
Kevin
Look here!! I don't have time for your stupidity girl!!
Kevin
Let me finish things quickly and smoothly.. Be a good girl, it won't hurt!
Ariadne's inner thoughts:
Wait.. Who.. Where.. What is happening here ..?
Who is this mysterious guy?
Where is this place.. Perhaps the Amazon..?
No Ariadne, Focus!! .. It's not time to act rushly..
This guy is clearly having bad intentions!!
Now let's see.. I have two options:
1- Fight bravely and defeat him!
Or
2- Run away!
Ariadne
mmmm.. Well you see..
Let me just inform you beforehand!
I am a first Dan black belt taekwondo girl!!
So you better not get on my nerves, hoodie-guy!!!!
Kevin
Black Dan belt whatever.. is none of my business..
I am here for one mission only!!
Ariadne
Now I have no choice but to...
Ariadne
RUNNNNN AWAYYYYYYY!!!!
Ariadne
YAAAAAAAAAAA... HELPPPPPPP!!!!
Ariadne
This hoodie-guy is a PSYCHOOOO!
Runs in the dark woods without focusing on her path*
Kevin
I told you it's easier if you just allowed me to end it quickly..!! Stupid girl!
As Ariadne turns around..
She gets startled to see the guy right beside her!!!
Ariadne
Ommmooo!! Goooo awayyy!!
Go Kill Eve or whatever!!
Why are you after meeee??!!! 😱
She continues running quickly.. She tries to get away from him.. Yet wherever she turns he is there!
Kevin
Because YOU ARE EVE!
