Bella POV
I felt it behind me, somewhere, not too near, but near enough to frighten me no end. I was terrified. Whatever that thing was it was not kind or nice to me. I shut my eyes, and immediately other wraiths came into my mind.
Wraiths that I was killing for some reason, by a lake. One by one they were evaporating.
I opened my eyes. I was back in the tunnel and I was terrified by everything. I wanted to run away. I counted the steps again in my head. I still had a few more to go.
I walked slowly and felt the tunnel become freezing cold. Now I could even hear it's faint whispering breathing behind me. It seemed to be walking at leisure as if it knew it could grab me in a minute.
I had three more steps to go.
