This further increased her fears.
“Haaa”, she screamed aloud in fear as the unknown creature bounced on the window to her seat and dashed off.
Mr. Molten on hearing the scream was worried and rushed to the direction of his daughter.
He opened the car's door, “You screamed, is everything alright, dear?", he asked, looking at Lisa with a concerned gaze.
“Daddy please I can't stay in here, am scared, I think there is something out there”, she said as her whole body was shaking and shivering. “Please let me come outside with you”.
“Don't worry, I think it's just your imagination, there is nothing out here” Mr. Molten replied as he tried to calm her fear.
He hugged her deeply with love, kissed her forehead and tried to put her back in the car seat.
“You know daddy loves you so much”?, Mr. Molten said.
“So, you're going to be here while daddy finishes up with the car”, he said as he returned her back to the car, closed the door and went back to what he was doing, before Lisa screamed.
Lisa became a bit calm, but this didn't erase her fears completely.
She would give out a frightening look outside the car window at the hearing of the reeving wind.
Mr. Molten finished with the car, but still left the bonnet opened as he opted to go start the engine. He switched the ignition button and instantly the engine starts.
Finally, the car is fixed. Lisa sited was already filled with happiness, she can now boast of her courage as she happily said, “Hey daddy you did it”.
“I didn't do it, baby, we both did it”. Give me a high five” Mr. Molten replied as they clapped their right palms together.
He switched off the ignition, moved outside to go close the bonnet. He held the bonnet and about to bring it down he heard a crispy noise like someone walking close to him.
“Anyone there”, he exclaimed in fear, looking left side and right side. Finding no one, he put himself together, closed the bonnet.
Two steps away, after closing the bonnet, he was whisked away by an unknown creature.
Seeing this, Lisa screamed aloud in fear as she immediately woke up from her deep sleep. It was all a weird and scary dream.
She sat on her bed in fear, giving out a disheartening look around the room as she wonders within, what could that dream mean.
“What creature was that, could it be an alien?, but aliens don't exist”, she pondered within herself.
Confused in her thought, she moved her hands backward, place them on her head and lay down on her bed like she wanted to have another sleep.
A knock on the door forced her to rise, she stepped down from her bed, picked up the clock machine, “whoa it's 9.20am already”, she exclaimed.
A second knock is heard on the door, and at this time it dawned on her that she needed to go open the door.
“One minute please, I'll be with you in a jiffy”, she shouted while trying to put her bed in shape.
She went to the direction of the door, opened it, and Mr. Molten walked straight into the room.
“I heard you scream, what happened,” He asked in anxiety as he moved closer to the couch in the room.
Lisa standing at the door replied, “l am fine, dad, it's just one of those nightmares”
She closed the door and went to join her dad, who was already sited on the couch. She sat close to her dad, lay her head on his shoulder.
“Dad” she called out in a quiet tone. “Yes” her dad responded.
“Could there be any weird creature other than humans and animals living on the earth?”, she asked.
“I don't think so”, Mr. Molten replied as he held his daughter by the hand.
“The earth was designed for humans and animals only, It would be impossible for other creatures to survive the atmosphere of Earth”, He further buttressed his standpoint.
Mr. Molten remembered how he had heard stories of how humans, werewolves, and vampires lived on earth thousands of years ago.
He gave a deep breath. It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon, at about 3pm. People could be seen on thick sweaters, trying to get rid of the cold.
The snow also displaying its craft, definitely one would know the winter is here.
At Orange County Convention Center, people from around the world could be seen walking around and exchange pleasantries, excited to witness another year of the International Talent Unleash, the 24th edition.
At the entrance of the red carpet is a beautiful, tall, and classy lady, a presenter of Heritage T. V. She could be seen holding firmly onto the mic as she interviews both parents and tutors.
Standing beside her is a Heritage T. V. videographer capturing the interview.
“Hello Sir, how have you been enjoying this yearly event?”. The presenter asked one of the audience.
She continued, “In this year's event, what do you expect to see?”,
“Well I can say the event has been a wonderful one since its existence, a superb job done by the organizers, I must commend”. “Yeah, also, it's been educative, bringing out good students from around the globe”
Continuing he said, “Well for this year, I expect to see something different from the usual norm, something that has never been done before, you know what I mean”.
“Yeah I sure do”, she replied giving out a lovely smile.
At the student car park lot, students could be seen alighting from their various school buses.
Lisa came down from her school's bus filled with excitement. She has heard so much about Orange County Convention Center, which housed the sculpture of the greatest professor in the world.
She is sure out to explore the place. They were redirected by the school headmistress to a tent prepared for them.
Lisa sneaked out of the tent, searching for the sculpture of the greatest professor in the world.
“Whoa, it's so beautiful” she mumbled expressing her delight as she saw the sculpture of the greatest professor in the world, made with pure refined brass.
