"Aaaaaa!" Elliana screamed as loudly as she could as the shadow neared her.
She struggled hard against the door, grabbing the knob and twisting it to open the door. However, the door didn't even budge.
"Please, let me go," Elliana crawled further into the door, a sob of fear leaving her mouth.
She desperately fumbled the knob, trying her best to open it. However, when the door didn't budge after trying several times as if it was locked from the outside, she jerked the door with so much force that it unhinged from its bolts and flew towards the other side of the room.
It was unbelievable, but Elliana was too scared to care about it.
"Mr. Marino! Mr. Marino! Please save me," she ran across the corridor.
The otherwise crowded palace with guards seemed empty today. It was like no one was present in the entire Palace. It scared her even more.
She rushed to the stairs and was about to step down when her leg slipped, and she tumbled down the stairs, screaming in agony and pain.
