Trafford's Trading Club

Finally, Len found Allie in the crowd.

She was holding a small bottle of beer and had been leaning against the handrail for some time. Len felt he should get close to her… but he hesitated, stopping his steps.

Because he witnessed Gloria approaching her from the opposite side… with a light pace and a radiant and enchanting smile.

What would they say? But on such an occasion...he couldnʼt hear anything due to the loud music; however, seeing Gloria intimately clutch Allieʼs hands, they should be talking about something happy.

”Allie!”

Gloria clutched Allieʼs hands affectionately, leaning against the railings arm in arm together.

”Whatʼs the matter? You look so happy.” Allie asked while pretending she didnʼt know nothing.

”I got together with Branham just now!” Gloria smiled and blinked. ”Branham is so sexy. Oh my god, my heart is still beating fast.”

”Did you... Congratulations!” Allie nodded.

Gloria now grabbed Allieʼs hands, saying softly, ”You will bless us right? We are good friends!”

At that moment, Allie wanted to pull back her hand... How many times had she wanted to do so?

Exactly like the moment when she grabbed her hands, saying, ”We are good friends!”

In her childhood, she shared more than half of the cookie her mother made.

”Letʼs go shopping together!”

”Oh ... OK.”

But there was still lots of homework for her to do.

”Oh... Iʼve run out of my pocket money, Allie...”

”Well... I have some for you, and you can give it back to me next month.”

But there were still some things she wanted to buy; so, did she have to wait for next month?

”Well, this dress looks good! I like it... Great! It fits you very well, do you like it? I can buy it for you!”

”Yeah...itʼs pretty good.”

ʼI donʼt like this one… but the one you are holding.ʼ

”Yeah... bless you two.”

ʼActually… I like him too.ʼ.

…

…

Finally, Gloria saw Allie halting her steps; so she hurried to grab her arms, ”Allie, did you come up with a solution?”

In her opinion, Allie was an brave girl who knew what she wanted all the time.

She was thankful that she had a good friend like Allie for some many years.

Alice nodded, and suddenly looked at her in a serious face, ”Gloria, do you really want to rescue Branham?”

Glolia nodded.

”Well, first of all, we have to confirm the situation inside... Letʼs take a look! If itʼs dangerous, we can only escape, understand?”

Gloria hesitated... ʼWhatʼs the situation inside? Thereʼs no sound… Did they… Have Branham and Len been murdered?ʼ

But she was still eager to know…just took one glance.

The door was slightly opened, Gloria and Allie closed to the door gap, gazing at the situation nervously.

Suddenly, Gloria covered her mouth with an ice cold hand; as if all her energy had been extracted.

In the room, that huge suitcase, was now devouring Lenʼs arm little by little; and Branham was silently lying next to it.

And Len, whose arms had been swallowed in the suitcase, did not move either!

Gloria both hands covered her mouth tightly… but she felt a lack of oxygen.

Gloria quivered and leaned back against the wall. She felt both of her legs were too heavy to move.

”What should we do... What should we do... Allie, Allie... I, I donʼt wanna die...”

She grabbed Allieʼs arms, as if firmly grasping a life-saving straw; her face turned pale with lips trembled, ”I canʼt move…Allie… You wonʼt leave me here alone right? You wonʼt leave me here alone right? Weʼre good friends!”

”Branham and Len...are dead.” Allie lowered her head now.

Allieʼs face suddenly turned blurry in Gloriaʼs eyes, who was scared and almost cried after the horrible matter had been mentioned, ”I know, I saw that… stop talking… itʼs extremely horrible.”

”Why did we meet this kind of thing?” Allie said sorrowfully.

Allie... Allie...Are you OK?”

”Itʼs all your fault.”

She raised her head, and eyes opened wide, but scattered bangs covered more than half of her eyes---It was a very ferocious look--- With it, Allie stretched out her hands, squeezing Gloriaʼs neck.

She put forth all her strength!

Gloria felt incomparably panic-stricken and painful; at that time, she had to look at her in an imploring expression.

As if asking, ʼwhy?ʼ

”My life used to be good without you! If only you didnʼt suggest to come here! Originally, I should be studying quietly, and… thatʼs all your fault!”

Gloria was in too much pain!

This deadly suffocation motivated her instinct for survival; she suddenly kicked Allieʼs belly, so that her neck had been loosened.

But like crazy, Allie pounced towards her again!

The two wrestled together, squeezing each otherʼs necks; and their bodies broke open the room door unwittingly!

The two fell down the floor at the same time!

Gloria breathed quickly, with her eyes moved... that huge suitcase with several arms stretched out--- was now creeping towards them like a spider.

Allie, Allie...” Gloria crazily patted Allieʼs body, and hoped to notice her the danger was getting close.

But, since it couldnʼt wake up Allie or stop her crazy behavior, Gloria had to kick her away forcibly!

When the two separated, Gloria stood up at all hazards, running for the door out.

She was so scared, that she had to close the door again.

Gloria desperately tried to open the door, roar and scream kept coming from the room---Allie was shouting and crying, ”Gloria! Gloria!! Gloria!!”

Yes, she kept on crying out her name.

Gloria covered her mouth, tears flew out of her eyes---She didnʼt stop until no sound came from the room.

This time, she dared not to open the door again, but scratched and scrambled escape from this place. At last, she held the wall and handrail, walking downstairs to the living room.

The light of the living room was muted.

The house owner and the servant girl, the weird traveller Arex and the little girl Lena, were sitting around the tea table.

They looked at her... slowly walking down.

”Leave quickly!”

At the last stages, Gloria rushed down the stairs---she almost missed her step…but she still ran down towards them.

”Get out here! Quickly! Monster!! I saw a monster !!” Gloria pointed upstairs in horror.

”Letʼs go!” Gloria grabbed Luo Qiuʼs arm, trying to pull him out of the chair.

Luo Qiu was pulled up, but curiously asked, ”Wait... who are you now?”

Gloria gave a start.

Luo Qiu said calmly, ”Branham? Len? Gloria? Or Allie?”

”What are you talking about?” Gloria let go of Luo Qiuʼs arm. ”Iʼm Gloria! I... Iʼm Gloria? I...Iʼm...Iʼm...”

She looked up slowly, considering, ”... Who am I?”

…

…

Looking at this scene.

The little girl little lips closed to You Yeʼs ear, asking puzzledly, ”Sister You Ye, why does Sister Allie speak to herself all the time? Thatʼs so weird!”
