"You may call me Elena, and tired may be an understatement, Mr. Kamenev," she stated, readjusting the grip she had on her mug. Elena noticed that her colleague, much as herself, looked beyond exhausted as well. She hadn't heard much about his personal life, if anything at all, but word had it he'd gone through some tragic event in his life not that long ago. Of course, Elena did not dare bring up the subject given that they didn't know each other beyond the confines of the university. "If I may, it appears that you have been extensively grading assignments as well. The joys of professorship, I suppose," she smiled, making light of their lack of rest.

Elena was just about to wave her goodbye when she remembered one of the upcoming lessons.

"Before I leave, Mr. Kamenev, I was wondering whether you had any opinions on a book. It's Psychology and Philosophy...with time--no, in time?" she cocked her head to the side, a little embarrassed she had forgotten the title. "I don't think that's it either. My apologies, I can't seem to recall...but let me see if I still have the link."

Reaching into the front pocket of her slacks, Elena pulled out her phone. She went into her e-mail application and started scrolling down her inbox when the screen turned black. At first, she thought it was one of the many malfunctions of her older phone, but then the screen came alive again, although this time, it displayed a feed of the back of someone's head. It took her a second, but soon enough she realized the blonde in the video was her. She could see Kamenev's shirt within the frame, the same one he was wearing while standing in front of her. Startled, Elena immediately turned around, though no one was there. How was that even possible? Elena looked down at her phone, but the screen portrayed her inbox once more.

"You know what? That can wait...," she whispered. Elena was about to leave, although when she took her first step she felt extremely faint. At that moment, the young woman placed her back against the nearby wall to steady herself. "I'm sorry, I--I don't know what happened just now."

Elena sighed. Yet another evening working late hours causing her to be exhausted the following morning. She was sitting in her small office grading assignments before class, very routine work she performed on a daily basis. After spending a decent amount of hours the previous night reading papers, the words started to become a blur and she decided to stop. Now she had come into work early to finish her job, but her lack of sleep was an indicator that her day was going to be a rather long one. With such thought in mind, Elena grabbed her mug and headed out for her second cup of tea that morning

"Rough night?"

"Maria, you startled me!" Elena laughed, turning around to greet co-worker and friend. She had known the woman for about six months, but they had become pretty close in that short amount of time. "I stayed late last night, you know, the usual."

"As always. Are you still coming over for dinner?"

"Oh, that's right...Yes, I'll be there."

After some back and forth chatter on random topics, the two quickly said their goodbyes as Maria had to go teach. Elena, on the other hand, wasn't due in class for roughly another hour, and she was planning to make use of every last free minute if she was to go over to Maria's for dinner. Whenever the two couples would get together, their night would extend beyond regular hours. They would talk, eat, drink, play some card games, watch a movie, etc.

Elena looked at her watch as she continued on her way to the break room. She wondered whether to call Alexei now or later. When he'd woken up earlier, he went on about a trial that would take up most of his morning, and she wouldn't want to interrupt him in the middle of his job.

The call can wait, she thought to herself, turning the corner to where the break room was located.

Her car wouldn't start, no matter how many times she turned the ignition. Nathalie groaned, frustrated that despite being allowed to go home, she now had car trouble. Her coworker had returned to work early as apparently his vacation didn't go as planned. She'd offered some consolation words as she was genuinely sorry his trip had ended on a bad note, but on the flip side, she was glad she could go home. Or so she thought. She hadn't even changed out of her scrubs as she wanted to shower as soon as possible after getting home.

"Please tell me this isn't happening..."

Nathalie stepped out of the vehicle, her purse tucked underneath her arm as she headed towards the garage exit. She almost never had any cell phone coverage there, or most of the town for that matter. With her Samsung in hand, Nathalie googled the police department's non-emergency number. Once a preview from the official governmental website appeared, she dialed it and waited for someone to answer. As Nathalie continued to mindlessly walk down the the narrow sidewalk, she accidentally bumped into a young woman.

"Oh! I'm so sorry about that, are you alright?"

Out of habit, she placed her phone against her chest; the same thing she did every time she was on the phone and was also addressing someone in person.

As it turns out, the customer, Hugh Winfield, was a lonely old man who was dying of a disease and sitting on roughly 25 million dollars with no one to pass it down to.

Hey, you didn't forget about us. Anyway, I'm thinking Monica and Frank had a thing in the past, and he had her help the team out and that was the start of an even more stressful life for Monica.

The Curse of Sonina

Anyone have any plans of making a non-student character? So far I think I'm the only one.

【 PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE 】
When Elena was working late one night grading exams, she suddenly got the urge to use the facilities. She left her office and walked down the hall, picking up on a noticeable change in temperature. The young woman didn't think much of it and grabbed the edges of her jacket as she hugged herself. The silence in that entire floor didn't bother her much at all as she'd made that same trip plenty of times before.

A few moments later, Elena pushed open the door to the ladies' room. She walked inside and a slight feeling of dread crept up on her. She became a little confused since she wasn't under any sort of stress at the moment, but nonetheless she went ahead to use the toilet. Elena kept her eyes on the door to her stall. She didn't want to be surprised, although she wasn't sure what she was looking out for.

Once she was done, she quickly flushed the toilet and exited the stall, heading to the nearest sink to wash her hands. The faucet was motion activated and turned on as she placed her hands below it, and simultaneously, someone started humming from within one of the stalls. Startled, Elena looked at the stalls from their reflection in the mirror. She wasn't aware someone had been in there with her, and as she listened on, she realized the voice sounded like a child's. The idea was crazy given she was still in the university and it was beyond business hours. Elena was about to leave when the humming was replaced by a scream, and she froze. She called out to whomever was in there with her, but then the lights started flickering and blood started seeping from the walls. Elena reacted immediately, rushing to the door and running all the way back to her office without looking back. This occurred two days ago, and she hasn't told anyone, not even her husband.

【 BIOGRAPHY 】
Elena was born and raised in Moscow as an only child. Her father was a highly decorated military officer, and her mother was a nurse. Growing up in a financially stable family, she had the chance to do quite a bit of travel, visiting places such as Australia, Japan, and some parts of Europe. Her grandparents on her father's side had passed down their wealth to them, and they made sure Elena was well taken care of.

Academically, Elena did fine growing up. Her teachers rarely had a complaint about her as she was quiet and kept to herself most of the time. She was involved in a couple of fights on the playground, but only because other students would tease her for the hell of it, calling her a loner and such. Elena had a very few select friends whom she would see on her time off as they lived a bit far from her. They were a very tight-knit group despite the distance.

When Elena was 14, her parents abruptly moved to the UK. She was shocked to say the least when she first heard the news, and her initial reaction was to lock herself in her room and cry. Since that afternoon, she made it a habit to hang out with her friends as much as she could until moving day. By then, Elena was sick of pleading her parents to stay. They kept stating that they had to relocate for a job, and the girl knew she wasn't going to get any more information out of them. She accepted her fate and worked through the process, from packing and giving stuff away to saying her final goodbyes.

In the UK, Elena quickly learned English in order to be able to get around. She'd taken some classes prior to the move as part of her curriculum in school, but she wasn't all that fluent. A girl named Riley in one of her classes befriended her, and despite the initial language barrier, the two grew very close. With time, Elena became more social, hanging out with friends, going to parties, and dating. During one of those nights out, she met a guy named Alexei through a mutual friend. He was also Russian, but they found out they had a lot more in common than just their nationality. After a few dates, Elena and Alexei became a couple, and they grew so close they eventually got engaged and married. Elena went on to school to get her graduate degree in psychology while Alexei got into the legal field and became an attorney. The two had job offers upon graduation, but they had a nice and long talk about possibly heading back to Russia, and in the end they both agreed on the move. Elena had some family in Sonina and they figured the small town lifestyle would be better suited for them given that they wanted to start a family soon, though they would come to find out such goal was easier said than done.

Time: Early in the night
Location: Hospital
Interaction with: N/A

The night was dragging on. Another patient had arrived in the ER with an accidental injury, but her counterpart had been called up to do the job. After leaving a note for Phyllis with Damien's application, Nathalie headed to the staff lounge to read more in-depth a message she had received earlier that day from the local university. They were offering her the chance to give a speech at an upcoming seminar being held on campus. Nathalie had no idea how they'd gotten her work e-mail, but either way, she didn't mind getting in front of big crowds for a presentation.

"Hey Nathalie, can we talk?"

She looked up from her phone, knowing who had approached her before their eyes met. Jason stood not too far from her, his expression apologetic.

"Talk about what?"

"Us."

Nathalie sighed. "There is no us, Jason, not anymore." She remained calm, although she stood up from the chair, phone still in hand.

"Is it someone else?"

"What? No!"

"Then let's give it another shot, come on."

"No, Jason, I'm sorry."

"I figured since you've been here all this time, maybe you're not opposed to the idea of staying here for good. We can be a family again, and maybe we can expand it..."

"I'm sorry, but that's not happening. I'm gonna go back, you know."

"Back to what?"

Nathalie stared at him in silence, momentarily at a loss for words. "That's none of your business," she replied, her voice dripping with contempt. He started to say something but she quickly walked past him, ignoring whatever he had to say. Nathalie did not feel like putting up with him, not at the moment. She was tired, and she didn't need to be irritated as well. Closing the door behind her, she hurried down the hall in case Jason decided to follow her.
