With a stern look, she asked me the question. I was shocked to see her standing before me and even more stunned by her question after everything I had just been saying.
I tried to stand, but my legs trembled uncontrollably, and my body felt alien, like I had lost control.
"What is happening to me? Why do I feel this way?" I thought to myself, my gaze fixed on Ma'am Elena.
I attempted to speak, but my mouth wouldn't open. Pain surged through me, and an unbearable noise echoed in my head like a thousand drums pounding at once.
"Is this how it ends for me? Did they lock me in this room just to kill me in silence?" I wondered, tears streaming down my face. The pain and noise felt like they would crush me. Suddenly, Ma'am Elena let out a sharp, mischievous laugh.
Startled, I looked up. Right in front of me, her form dissolved into a large, swirling dark smoke. I was terrified to my very core.
