Sasha and I stood our ground, ready to fight. As we attacked the false queen, she disappeared, leaving us wondering if we had defeated her or if it was just another illusion. My heart pounded in my chest, and I struggled to catch my breath.
Catching a brief moment of respite, we heard a faint voice calling for help. Following the sound, we discovered the missing students, trapped in a room, their bodies twisted and contorted into grotesque shapes. Horror washed over me as tears welled up in my eyes.
"We have to save them," I said, my voice trembling with determination and fear.
Sasha nodded, her eyes reflecting the same determination. "We'll do whatever it takes, my love," she assured me, her grip tightening around my hand.
