At midnight, Audrey slowed her car to a stop on the lawn of her country house in Kansas. Ten years ago, Audrey tore down the old house here and built this cottage. Since then, every summer, she always returns to live here for some time, to escape the summer leisure, soothing mood. But this time the situation is slightly different. A few works have been released in recent years, and those who had been enthusiastic about her readers and the media have issued a question as if Audrey has become the flower of tomorrow. Audrey was so upset that she was determined to come back and concoct a successful work.

Audrey got out of the car with her bag and took out her keys to open the door. The night breeze blew, and she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, turned around and saw a pale head peeking out of the courtyard wall, grinning at herself. Audrey's hands shook and her keys fell to the ground.

"Hello, Ms. Audrey!" The head speaks, voice a little excited, "My name is Julia, is your super fan, I have read all your works! Three days ago the workers came over to clean up the house and said you are coming back to life, so the past two nights I have been waiting here, just want to see you for the first time, you are my idol ah!"

After listening to the girl's words, Audrey's heart rose a little touched, did not expect to have such a loyal and enthusiastic fan.

"I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

Audrey leaned down to pick up the keys, held them in her hand and shook them twice, smiled, and said, "It's okay."

"I guess so. How can a leading figure in horror literature be a coward?" The girl finished and made a face at Audrey, her eyes were big, her skin was white, and her bright red tongue stuck out again, which was a bit scary. Audrey's heart shrank a little, laughing at their cowardice, asked the girl: "It's late, go home and rest. Is your home far from here? Do you need me to drive you?"

"Not far, just across the street." The girl lifted a slender arm and pointed behind herself. Only then did Audrey notice that a small, simple building had been built at some point diagonally across the street from her villa. There were no lights on in the building.

"Ms. Audrey, I have also written a few exercises, can you help me point them out tomorrow?"

"Sure, anytime!"

The girl waved her hand at Audrey and turned to run towards the house. Audrey stood on the steps and watched the girl enter the small, dark building.

In the early morning, Audrey slowly opened her eyes, only to see two long white legs standing straight at the head of the bed. Audrey was so scared that her body jolted, immediately rolled to the other side of the bed, looked up again, and found that it was the girl named Julia last night.

"How did you get in here?" Audrey's heart was beating rapidly.

"I made a few small snacks for you by hand." The girl said, holding the tray in her hand forward, "The door to the villa was left open, so I thought you were up and went upstairs."

Damn! Audrey cursed mentally: she was so focused on checking the windows indoors last night that she forgot to lock the front door. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, wait for me in the study on the first floor."

Ten minutes later, Audrey had finished reading Julia's story in one sitting, and she couldn't help but cast an amazing glance at the girl.

The first two parts of the story are relatively uneventful, telling the whole process of the young girl Rasha from falling in love to being abandoned. After entering the third part, the overall feel of the story is instantly reversed. On a stormy night, Rasha encounters a love interest. Without any prior warning, Rasha suddenly picks up a stone from the roadside and smashes it into the back of her lover's head. She then dragged him home and grabbed an axe to split his body in the yard.
