"Hmm….."
As Irina slowly regained consciousness, she found herself engulfed in darkness.
'Where am I?'
Panic surged through her as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings, her heart pounding in her chest.
For what felt like an eternity, all she could perceive was the suffocating darkness that enveloped her. But gradually, her vision began to clear, and she realized that she was in a dimly lit room.
'A room?'
Faint candlelight flickered across the walls, casting eerie shadows that danced around her. The air was thick with a musky scent that made her nose wrinkle in discomfort, and she found it difficult to draw in a breath.
Fear gripped her as she realized the gravity of her situation. She was trapped in this dark, unfamiliar place, with no idea how she had gotten there or what awaited her.
