She saw a shadowy figure move fast past her towards the living room,she ran after it with her gun still in her hands.
She saw the figure jump through the broken window in her living room,she bolted for the exist and ran after the person,the figure had a hoodie on making it hard to see the face .
She chased the figure down towards an alleyway,it pushed some trash to block Eliza's path before jumping through another fence that lead into nowhere but bushes.
Eliza scanned the area after losing the chase before heading back.
She limped on her way back to her place,she had fallen earlier when one of the trash can came rolling down at her direction ,it knocked her down before she could move out of the way leaving her bruised.

"Grandmother!" Yelled a woman who looks like she was in her late twenties, dressed in a long white silk, almost transparent with a fur coat draped around her neck.
A maid came running out to answer her.
"Good evening miss Aurora" she greeted with a bow
"Where's my grandmother" Aurora asked looking a bit worried
"She went to bed early miss" she responded head still slightly bowed down
"Is she okay" Aurora asked more worried now and started walking towards the stairs without waiting for a response anymore.
"She had a mild stroke earlier today and she refused to go to the hospital so we called in the family doctor to cater for her" the maid responding following her from behind.
She stopped and added
"She's currently at the penthouse,she refused to stay in her room because you were coming"
Aurora came from a wealthy family as an only child ,her parents had being trying to gave children of their own but it was taking time.
When Aurora was born they were told that she can't have another child due to a complication during Aurora's birth. They really did not mind as long as they have a child that was what mattered for them.
She was raised by her grandparents most of the time because her parents were always busy,too busy so her grandparents were happy to help.
They showered her with gift,she was spoiled but not rotten,she was still taught how to be kind and help others.
She loved her grandparents and always wanted to stay with them even when her parents were back from their business trip.
She always wondered around her grandparents mansion,she loved the penthouse most especially.
She hated going into their rooms because of how the walls were decorated with animal skins and head from back in the days when her grandfather hunted for fun,it always frightened her.
Anytime she comes everyone would be moved to the penthouse so she would not be scared to sleep.
She was slow in developing as a child ,so she was home school.
She smiled before muttering.
"I'm not a baby anymore Nana"
She entered the elevator,the maid followed and pushed the button leading to the penthouse. It chimed and started moving,few minutes later it stopped and opened again to the penthouse.
They both looked up and the maid let out a terrifying shriek running out of the elevator, Aurora froze mid step in terror.
