Roman's eyes locked onto Bianca's frightened gaze. "It's okay, I'm here," he reassured her, his voice calm and steady. He stood up and walked towards her, his movements swift and decisive. "Stay close to me, we need to get Sophia and Saanvi."
Bianca nodded, her body trembling with fear. Roman pulled her close, his hand wrapping around hers in a comforting grip. He didn't know what that figure was or what it wanted, but he knew he had to protect the people he cared about.
As they walked towards the kitchen, Roman's senses were on high alert. He found Saanvi finishing up the dishes, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Roman, Bianca, what's going on?" she asked, but Roman quickly silenced her with a finger to his lips.
"Shhh, stay quiet," he whispered urgently. "Follow me." He didn't have time to explain, they had to get to Sophia next.
