Soon after he left. She burried her face in her palms, weeping in sorrow. "Only if i knew it before, Only if i had the power to read minds." 

Few minutes after her tears held in her big bright green eyes. Taking big breaths. Holding a photo in her palm. A man walks up to her. She looks up. It was a tall, slender man in black hiding his face in the shadow of his brown hat.

"May i have a seat" asked he. She nodeded her head slightly, taking this as 'yes' the man sits beside her.
Isabell looks away from the man and see to her right, a little pond filled with small fishes and ducks.

It felt uncomfortable for her sitting beside a stranger. She gets up and walks ways, wiping her last tears.

Isabell gets in her room and locks it off. Letting no one com in. Few hours after Mrs. Sam came up to her room. 'Knock! Knock!' "Come open the door, I brought dinner all the way to your room. NOW OPEN UP THE DOOR!!".

"I cant mother, go away. I rather starve to death." Replies isabell.

"SHOULD I BARGE IN, OR YOUR GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR?"

Hearing her angry mother isabell walks towards the door and opens.

"Eat up your food, ill be back to check in"

She gobbled it up. Then slept. The next day she took a step outside deciding to go for a walk alone in the park.

At this time. Isabell spotted the same tall, slender man in black sitting on thar very bench he sat yesterday.

This man minded his work doing nothing neither did isabell worry about it. There was nothing out of the odd except for him.

The drizzles of rain started falling, the heavier the rain became people took shelther. Isabell either had an umbrella so she was taking a walk back home.

Mid way she saw that man again!.Carrying an umbrella .Things were getting suspicious. But Isabell didnt care much.her thought was that he was a mad man.

She arrived home soaking wet. Mrs.sam comes running "Oh dear, why didnt you take an umbrella with you?"

"Ahhu, ahhu, oh" coughs isabell.
"What have you got yourself into?"says mrs.sam in worry that she might catch cold while roaming in rainy streets.

"Now off to your room, ill prepare some hot chicken soup."

Isabell goes up the stairs into her room, shivering from the cold. She puts some new clothes and sits at her desk and pulls out her diary from the hiding spot.

Putting down her thoughts made her feel better.

Mrs.sam. Had prepared the soup she then yells "The soup is ready come down to have it"

Isabell could barely her voice only someone mummering could be heard. The second time mrs.sam calls. Still it was hardly heard but louder than early. Isabell could hear it she keeps the diary back and rushes down stairs and haves the soup. Her stomach was growling since she didnt have breakfast this morning. The soup filled her up.

"So how's the soup?" Questions mrs.sam from isabell.

"It's fine"

"Is that all?" Quired mrs.sam expecting something else from her

"I mean its really good"

"Well ofcourse it is because im best cook in town" boasts mrs.sam about herself.

Isabell heads up again into her room. Taking a nap. The clouds were gloomy and seemed to be a never ending storm.

'The man in black says " im george oscar" holding his hand out. Isabell shakes his hand in pleasure "I'm .."
"Isabell ?" Oscars says before isabell could even  finish her sentence.

Surprised from the fact he knows her, she quiers him with questions.

"How do you know my name, what connection do you have with me?"

"Time will tell you all. Now time has come for you to leave"

"No! Im not going anywhere!, till you ...." And wakes up isabell from the deep sleep. IT WAS ALL A DREAM!

She's still bed. Unable to get up but manages to make coughs and a sneeze. Isabell caught fever.
