Alex Lunaria's POV
After walking miles into the forest, I stood still, surrounded by the dense trees.
"I'm here," I replied as the drumroll began. Black ink covered my face, and the only thing I could see was the dark shadow around me.
But there was a specific woman standing, clothed in a black hoodie. I could barely see her, or know who she was, but a smile spread across her lips.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped closer, touching my chin.
"Welcome, child," she whispered. The sudden disappearance of the black ink left my face revealed in an unknown spot, unable to discern where I was.
I turned around, taking in the atmosphere. Everyone was clothed in black hoodies, only their red lips visible, chanting something. Curious about what was going on, I noticed candles in their hands.
The forest seemed to close in around me as I walked, its darkness growing thicker with each step.
