Amaris walked closer to the door but she was startled when someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned to see who it was, there was no one there.
She frowned. She was sure that someone touched her shoulder. She suddenly felt goosebumps on her nape and her whole body shivers, getting an abrupt feeling of coldness.
"Amaris."
She gasped for air when she heard a muffled whisper in her ear. She looked around again but she was alone in a seemingly endless long hallway.
She didn't notice it earlier but looking at it, the hall was full of old paintings on the wall and a full window on the other side. You could see the full moon outside looking like a huge silver disc illuminating in the night sky.
When she took a step on the red carpeted floor, a sudden chill swept through her bones. In every exhale, she could see her breath forming a small cloud. It was cold but she didn't know it was that cold.
