The terrible, incomprehensible thing turned its head towards the direction of the sound. But before it even did that, Harker wasted no time and ran, dragging Artea along.
Surely, this thing wouldn't follow them out into the public with everyone around…..
Wait.
Where did everyone go?
Harker scanned the area, and it was all empty. Not a single person in sight. Not just that, but there didn't seem to be any sign of life anywhere.
The plants and the trees looked too shiny, and he realized they were made of plastic. The squirrels that jumped about in the dark had a metallic sound to them, along with a whirring that led him to believe they could be animatronics.
Harker soon realized that he asked the wrong question.
Where are they?
They kept running and hid behind the library building. Artea was very much afraid, but besides the shout, she didn't make any sounds.
