"Haah… Haa… Haah…"
My breaths came in ragged gasps as I stumbled forward, my body trembling from exhaustion and sheer panic.
I had barely escaped.
That… thing—whatever it was—had almost killed me.
Tsk.
Talk about a fucking nightmare.
I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to keep moving. I should be dead right now. And for what? Because of some crazy girl who was obsessed with me?
I exhaled sharply.
Where the hell am I?
My eyes darted around. The world was drenched in darkness.
I took a cautious step forward. The ground was uneven, slick with moisture.
Something feels… wrong.
My hand instinctively went to my dagger, gripping the handle tightly. If I was going to die, I wasn't going down without a fight.
I swallowed hard, forcing down the lump in my throat.
The silence, it was unnerving as fuck.
And yet… I felt it.
Something was watching me.
