MANY YEARS LATER

"Mum look, I made a lot of money today." Alexia yelled and ran to her mother happily. She got to where her mother was and hugged her tightly.

"Oh, my baby, you look very excited."

"Of course, I sold all the cupcakes you gave me and I made extra money."

"How?"

"Everyone wanted to see if the rumor was true."

"What rumor?" Her mother asked confused.

"The length of my hair passes my waist level, each time they buy a cup cake they tip me to see it."

Her mother laughed and hugged her, she giggled and gave the money to her mother.

"Thank you so much, Alexia."

"It's fine mum." She replied and used her scarf to pack her hair properly into a bun.

"I promise to get a good job and send you to college."

"It's okay mum, at least am done with high school, I can go to college anytime."

Her mother nodded and she smiled.

Alexia Nick and her mother live in a small town in the city of New Jersey, Alexia is a twenty years old pretty girl who grew up without a father, her dad died when she was very little due to an accident. She has a very long hair, average height, and a beautiful body.

Alexia and her mother live from hand to mouth every day, her mother sells cupcakes for a living and that is how they have been living for years.

"Mum, do you know that huge mansion at the end of the street, in that isolated area?" Alexia asked her mother as she ate a cupcake.

"Yes baby, what about it?"

"One of my friends told me that someone lives there."

"Really?"

"Yes, she said she heard some sounds of breaking bottles and different scary things."

"Well, that sounds dangerous so don't go there okay?"

"Yes, mum."

"So is it my free time already?" Alexia asked happily as she clapped her hands like a baby. Every day her mother gives her free time after she sells cupcakes.

"Yes, be home by nine."

"Yes, mum." She yelled as she took to her heels.

Alexia ran to her friend's house and met her friends outside waiting for her.

"Great, you are here, lets's go."

"I don't really know Nicki, mum said I shouldn't go there."

"What? You told your mum about it?" Chloe asked, her other friend.

"I tell my mum everything."

"Ugh, you are such a baby." Nicki scoffed.

"But am serious Nicki."

"Just calm down, it's not like we are going to do something bad, we just want to check it out."

"Okay, fine."

They all head to the isolated area where the mansion is located, they got there and they looked at the huge fence.

"Great, now we have seen it. Let's go back." Alexia said.

"Wait."

"What again?"

"Let's go in." Nicki said.

"I support it." Chloe added.

"What? Are you guys crazy?"

"Yes." They chorused.

"Nicki, we don't know what is in there and how the hell are you planning to jump this huge fence?"

"I will carry you in first and then Chloe, when we jump you will catch us."

"Why do I have to go in first?"

"Ugh, cause you are the tallest."

"Jeez, why did I ever meet you guys?" Alexia groaned and slowly walked to the fence. They lifted her up and she jumped into the building.

"Okay guys, am in."

"Am coming." Chloe replied and she was about to jump in when they heard strange noises, she and Nicki became scared and took to their heels leaving Alexia behind.

"Guys don't leave me." She screamed in fear when she heard their footsteps.

"Guys? How am I going to get out of here?" She asked but got no response. She sighed in fear and turned to the mansion. She took in a deep breath and walked slowly towards the entrance.

With shaky hands, she opened the door and walked in. She looked around and paused when she saw everywhere scattered.

"Hello?" She called out and her voice echoed around the house.

"Is anybody here?"

She walked fully into the house and looked around again. She suddenly froze when she saw a person staring at her, she couldn't tell if it was a male or female cause the hair was so long it covered half of the face and chest.

"Excuse me, good afternoon. I got lost and entered your mansion by mistake, please is there a way out cause the gate seems to be locked." Alexia said with a shaky voice.

She got no response and after a while, she decided to speak again.

"Please am sorry for invading your privacy but I really need to get out of here."

"Then go." His deep husky voice replied.

"But I don't know how to, everywhere is locked."

"Neither do I."

"But it's your mansion...."

"Will you shut the fuck up?" He yelled and she flinched, a tear rolled down her eyes due to the fear and she moved back.

She already knew it was a guy through the voice but still couldn't see the face."

"Am so sorry sir but my mum will be looking for me and she will be so terrified..." She choked on her statement when he suddenly walked to her and held her neck.

"Please." She whimpered and he stared at her. Images of a girl crying flashed in his head and he let go of her.

Alexia coughed repeatedly and wiped her tears, she looked at him and saw him groaning and he held his hair.

After some minutes of breathing heavily, he finally calmed down and turned to Alexia.

"Why did you come here? Did they send you?"

"Who?"

"Don't act like you don't know them, they sent you here right?"

"I don't know what you are talking about.

"Why are you here?"

"I... I and my friends were playing and we decided to come here."

"What's a friend?" He asked and Alexia's eyes widen in shock.
