890 Words
Catch this girl and kill her. Don't let her go.
Ahh... I woke up from a nightmare. I had this dream again today.
Every day I have this dream, I don't know why. But there's a little girl running through a deserted jungle, and a lot of people are chasing her, wanting to kill her.
I don't know who the girl is; her face isn't clearly visible. I don't know why everyone is trying to catch and kill her.
The hospital was completely silent; only the machines could be heard in the stillness. My shoulder was still hurting.
Under my pillow, the note with the surgical blade was still lying there... I was still wondering if that person was Shu-Jen or someone else; that thought kept replaying in my mind.
And this wasn't going according to the novel at all—everything was changing. What was going on? I had altered the scenes of the novel's plot every single time.
And then, the lights in the entire hospital went out with a single flicker.
Tick... Tick... Tick...
It was a sound, I realized. It wasn't footsteps, but the sound of someone's nails scratching on the door. I looked toward the door in fear.
I slowly got out from the bed and started to crawl toward the door. After all, where was this sound coming from?..
The room's window curtain suddenly moved as if someone had pulled it to come inside with joy.
I unlocked the door and stepped out of the room, looking left and right, but no one was there. The pain in my shoulder started again. "Ouch, who is it... who is here?" I shouted.
A man in a doctor's coat was coming from the hall. His face was covered with a silver half-mask, and he held a syringe in his hand as he came toward me. I quickly tried to step back, just then the hospital lights came on, and the light fell upon him.
He was a tall man, dressed in a coat. One of his eyes was blood-red, and the other was pitch-black.
"Who are you, huh?" I asked, trembling.
"You're not Bai-Luna, are you?" he said, looking into my eyes.
"You know, it was Shen-Shauoa. You know he was the one who abandoned the real Bai-Luna to die." The stranger's voice was so deep it sounded like thunder.
He leaned toward me, his crimson eyes gleaming. He placed his cold hand on mine and whispered:
"What did you think, that by taking Bai-Luna's place you could fool everyone? What do you think, that if everything changes, you'll survive? That man was looking at me, laughing as he said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Who I am isn't important right now. What's important is changing tomorrow, fake Bai-Luna."
He let go of my hand with a jerk.
"I'm only here to see if you have the guts to change everything. Can you stop Shen-Shauoa?" he said, glaring at me.
I tried to grab his mask, but he grabbed my hand and pressed it against my mouth. "Don't... don't do this. I'm your friend, not your enemy," he said.
I tried to scream.
"Shut up! If you make a sound, I'll shut your mouth forever,"
He placed his hand on my injured shoulder.
"I'm leaving my mark on your body," he said with a mysterious smile from under the mask.
"From now on, I'll be watching your every move. Fake Bai-Luna, remember my name, Jin-Wo.
He suddenly injected me in the arm.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room. Shen-Shauoa and Xi-Xiao were both standing in front of me. It was morning. Xi-Xiao said, "I thought you slept very well last night."
"When did I get here?" I asked in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Xi-Xiao asked. "Oh, you're not forgetting that you were shot, are you? That's why you're here." SHe said with a laugh, "It seems Shen-Shauoa she has lost her memory again."
"How are you feeling?" Shen-Shauoa asked.
I remember everything, but I can't tell anyone who he was or what he wants from me. I have to find that out first," I said to myself.
You've been discharged. Be ready to go home," Shen-Shauoa said, looking at me. Her voice was very cold today.
I remembered everything he said: that Shen-Shauoa had hired someone to kill the real Bai-Luna.

Shauoa Penthouse,
"Bai-Luna, be ready today," Xi-Xiao said with a laugh. "Why?" I asked.
"Oh, you forgot that today is the first anniversary of Shen-Shauoa and my engagement," She said with a smile.
"Oh, okay, but I don't have a dress, so I can't come," I told her.
In my heart, I was still thinking about last night's conversation. Who is that Jin-wo? I had to find out.
"I've already picked out a dress for you, so there are no excuses. Let's go, and besides, Aunt Lu and Uncle Biao-ho are coming today," Xi-Xiao said angrily.
"Who is Aunt Lu?" I asked, confused.
"Do you really you've lost your memory?" Xi-Xiao said, stammering, and walked away.
"Who are Aunt Lu and Uncle Biao-ho?" I asked, confused. But she ignore me and walked away
"I'll tell you who they are," a voice came from behind me.
I turned around and was shocked because the person behind me was Jin-hu.
