For a moment the world stilled, the heartbeat upon my chest stilled along with it. The whole world. Like someone had come and pressed the pause button.
Like some sort of existential god, who paused the world only to play some sort of prank.
My whole brain circling with power. My pupils dilating as they turned within the confines of my eyes. Trying, desperately trying, oh trying to find the source of this disturbance.
And just as I looked to the side. The the wall of the room that seemed to move slightly within the shadow.
Yes, a tiny shadow within the very corner of my eye. My tail lashed out.
Trying to pierce the figure that seemed to only come closer and closer.
Yet like some sort of whirlwind of force. I was back within the confines of reality. Feeling the breath of Lily.
Of her heartbeat pulling me closer and closer to her.
