'F-Father?' Aella called as she stepped into the dark room. She couldn't see anything from where she stood so she went in further.
She recognized this as her parents' room but it seemed different from what was in her memories.
It seemed cold and gloomy, as though an unknown doom awaited her.
'Father?' She raised her voice, hoping to get an answer.
Suddenly, a flash of light blasted into her face which made her squint her eyes due to the abruptness.
When she opened her eyes again and adjusted to the brightness, what she saw made her whole body freeze with shock.
'H-Help. Help me, Aella,' the old man sprawled on the floor held his hand out for her.
She could see he was in obvious pain as his face was scrunched up in a grimace and it tore her heart apart.
'Father!!' Aella screamed and tried to reach out for him but she was stopped short by something invisible.
Her body was surprisingly unmovable. She couldn't move her legs at all.
