"Daddy..."
Aldrich's eyes were shut. So much that it looked like he was just flashed by the most powerful laser in the world.
Thump!
Thump-…-Thump!!
The rhythm of his heart stumbled and strayed off course. The Black Mist, surrounding his heart, roiled in fear as if it had encountered the most fearful thing in existence. And the blood flow in Aldrich's veins kept speeding up and getting interrupted with a jerk.
Even Sha's constant shouts were of no use to him.
Rustleeeee!!!
Aldrich heard a rustling sound. It was like a vast region of dry, broken leaves had surrounded him and something was slithering over them. It wasn't fast, but Aldrich from his heart wished it to pass by him the sooner, the better. But the thing was, it wasn't just him who was experiencing this feeling.
It was the entire world.
