I had ran all the way to my house, getting inside I locked the door placing my back on it with heavy breaths.
In my head the voice kept on going (Romania will meet it's end.) . Fear clawed at my chest.
Tears clouded my eyes but refused to stream down my face.
"What have I done..... Mother what have I done." I asked myself as tears flowed.
I trembled to the floor hugging my knees tight... Feeling weaker by the minute. I buried my face on in between my knees.
The TV flickered to life, casting a pale glow on the walls.
The words kept echoing all over again as News anchors spoke of a mysterious energy detected in the city. Whispers of a "Chosen One" spread like wildfire on the socials
My phone buzzed with a concerned text from Sarah. I hesitated before opening the door, letting her in.
"Hey, you okay? You've been MIA since last night," she said, eyes scanning my frazzled state.
I forced a weak smile, pushing her away. "I'm fine. Just need some alone time."
"Ohhhh..... But we have classes today remember." Sarah's expression faltered.
" Sarah you really need to leave now please just go away." I yelled in anger, frustration and annoyance.
I didn't know what to feel..... I felt as if my life, my world was all coming to am end.
Sarah could only stare at me in shock..... "Arrgh." I groaned as I shit the door in her face.
Immediately filled with regrets I walked away.
As night fell, shadows deepened outside. All over again the trauma begun....louder than ever.
But this time I felt it more..... Deeper. I felt the change and the difference.
I felt like my organs were gone..... The pains and torture at that moment.
Finally the once withheld tears flowed down freely.
My veins were all visible to sight. I screamed out loud but it was as if it was all drowned out by nothing.
I felt less and less stronger. I lost it....
My eyes and ears where now compatible to any sound and I could see everything...
But I didn't see death.
Someone was watching me.... I could feel it..... But I had fallen in the floor weakly.
My bones refused to correspond with me anymore as I lay there lifeless.
I know I am now being hunted.... someone is looking for me and the other is watching my every move.
But who are they??? What do they want.
. Who were they? What did they want? The questions kept on repeating itself.
*Chapter 3: The Hunt Begins*
I laid there... As tears kept streaming down my already pale face.
My door burst open and he stepped in, with his heavy shoes and clothing..... I could only see a few things due to my blurry vision... But I couldn't make a move. .
"You're in danger." He began as he walked closer towards me.
"I'm here to save you.". Erebus has marked you," He squatted to my pitiful level on the floor.
As he touched my arm I couldn't even move a bone.
"Spectra... Stop running from what you know you'll still face. " He said.
From a weakness to a sudden surge of energy.... I stood to my feets... Pushing him hard enough for him to crash on a nearby wall.
Shocked at my strength, the same fear overtook me all over again.
I stared at the cracked wall and the man who laid on the floor coughing out blood.
I dashed off immediately towards the door. I had a new sense of fear now..... I might hurt the people around me.... The people of Romania.... I am their danger.
Those were the only thoughts.
The operative didn't pursue, instead shouting: as he stood to his feets in haste
" Erebus has infiltrated everything. Trust no one!"
I sprinted down the stairs, still in fear.
"Erebus agents nearby. Evade capture."
The city streets blurred together as I fled. Whispers of "Erebus" and the "Catalyst" swirled around me, fueling my panic.
I stopped at a nearby passage way taking in deep breaths.
Slowly Erebus men ran passed by like soldiers with their heavy boots thumping hard on the floor as the ran past by making me hide behind a pillar.
The people of Romania ran Helter skelter in fear as the guards infiltrated the area . And above them he floated with his red eyes gazing down hard at the people.
He was a replica of the devil himself as he stared down at them.
"Where are you Emily..... Spectra..... It is time ... Come out." He yelled in anger as it echoed throughout the town instilling fear into the people.
"What have I done."
