Chapter 1 - In one of the big university

In a large American university, inside a long and dark corridor, because the lights were broken, there was a young man walking silently after leaving the classroom.

His name was Drake Green, a university student in his second year before he was late.

Drake, who was walking, was assigned the task of collecting and arranging some papers by the university professor, and it took him a lot of time to try to collect and arrange those papers, before finishing them and starting to return them to the old storage room.

While walking in the dark corridor alone, Drake noticed the dim lighting, which was flickering and turning off silently, and he continued walking until he reached close to one of the open windows in the university, which showed the pink sky outside, which had begun to descend and slowly approach the sunset.

Drake stared at that sky for a short while, then turned his head and took a quick look at his hands, which were holding a black watch, and the hands of the watch pointed to about an hour.

 [3:56]

And who stopped for a moment, and was surprised to see the clock hands that were pointing to such a time and said:.

"It's almost four o'clock..."

"I've been late this time a lot in arranging the university application documents..."

"I hope the professor doesn't get angry with me because of my delay"

Drake sighed regretfully, after realizing his delay in carrying out the professor's request, before leaving the lecture room, by an hour, but fortunately for him who knew that today the professor had gone, early to his home, he wouldn't know about his delay in it being the mission that he was assigned to, so Drake sighed gently

after realizing that.

After a few more seconds, Drake began to move again, in the dark corridor as he walked slowly, he noticed the great silence, and the quiet in the long corridor

, which made him ask himself silently.

"Did all the students leave and return to their homes...?"

 Who asked himself that question while looking at the silence of the hall, nodded and thought so, and looking at this clock and especially looking at this day, it was expected that many students would leave and return home, because it was the last day of the end of the second academic year at the university.

Even he who did not have a single person waiting for him at home wished to go earlier and reach his home, if it were not for the professor's request

which he gave him before leaving the lecture to collect and arrange the documents of the rest of the students, and he was late in it but now he is on his way home.

"....."

Drake sighed again silently, after remembering all those things, then moved again and continued walking through the dark corridor which became a little darker and which increased his tension as he headed to the old storage room for university documents. 

***

After a while, Drake finally reached the required room, and he stopped in front of him in awe of the aura that was leaking from it deadly coldness mixed with silence and frightening darkness. 

Drake stared silently at the room in front of him, then after a while of staring at it, in awe he opened his mouth and said a little in astonishment. 

"Is this the old storage room's bag...?" 

Drake who had never visited this room before, no he had not even tried to approach this part of the hall in the large university, did not know if this was the right room or not, and he remembered the professor's description of him coming here, so he thought it was the right room. 

 "It's so old..."

"And its door looks more like an old house door than a big college room door like this one"

Drake thought to himself as he looked at the old storage room door in front of him.

The old wooden door was a little worn and full of some small scratches here and there, showing some scratches and damage and the erosion of time in it.

But after a while of his sudden passing, the group began to build and this room was placed as a location to store documents, which is said that sometimes students or teachers who enter this room alone at about this time hear strange sounds, and some students have even sworn and swore that they have seen many ghosts, especially the ghost of an old man, who screamed at them to leave his house. Drake stopped silently in front of the room, remembering all those rumors that were mentioned about this room, which made him seem more nervous and anxious than before. After remembering all those rumors that talk about some students and teachers seeing some ghosts. -A short silence filled the place for a moment-

Drake stopped frozen in place for a while near the wooden door in front of him without moving, the reason for that was that he was extremely afraid of the supernatural imaginary creature, especially the ghosts that were in his opinion invincible as they could penetrate any material or solid wall and appear to a person in front of him and attack him.

-A short silence filled the place-

After another short silence, Drake shook his head and removed those thoughts and rumors from his head and said to himself.

"If I don't finish Professor Adam's request for me, I can't go home..."

"So let's go in."

After saying that, Drake took a deep breath to calm himself down a little, then moved his hands and pushed the wooden door in front of him.

-Crack-

With a creaking sound of old wood, the door opened in front of him, slowly, then Drake walked cautiously with documents in his hand inside.

***

Drake stared at the old room door, for a little longer as he remembered some of the many rumors that were circulating among the students about it, which were saying:

Some of them are that this room was an old house in this area, which died with it alone in the house, refusing to sell the land in order to build this big university.

Inside, the room was a little large and spacious and filled with many documents, books and old devices thrown here and there.

-Steps, steps- Steps-

With slow steps, Drake cautiously advanced inside, looking around at the only light at the top of the room that was lighting up the entire room, which

was weak, turning on and off a little and then turning on again, the air inside was humid and full of a lot of dust all over it.

Drake stared around for a while, then he advanced inside to the middle of the room, where he found an old desk there, and he remembered Professor Adam's request

to put the documents there, so he silently advanced until he reached it.

-Noise-

When he reached the desk and wanted to put the documents there, he heard some noise, which made him turn around a little in tension and anxiety

and ask himself silently.

"What is that sound...?"

As he asked himself, he quickly looked around the place where the dim lighting continued to flash slowly.

 -Blink, blink, blink-

After looking around for a while and making sure there was nothing suspicious, Drake sighed in relief.

Then he turned his head towards the desk to put the documents there.

-Noise, noise, noise-

But before he could even put the documents in the desk, something suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly and lightly jumped in front of him.

"Huh...?"

Drake was very surprised and scared and with a natural reaction of his frightened body he quickly stepped back and fell to the ground hard and bumped into some things in the room, among which was the power cord that was responsible for wasting the room as well. 

-Clearance-

A moment after his fall, the lights went out completely in the dark room. 

Which made Drake feel even more afraid in the darkness of the large room. 

Fortunately for him, he moved a little away from the power cord seconds after his fall, the room's lights turned on again. 

"My glasses...!" 

But Drake did not care about that because he had another problem, which was that because he fell to the ground with great surprise, he dropped his glasses on the ground. 

"My glasses... My glasses...?" 

So Drake began to search around the room with difficulty for his glasses, without which he could not see well. 

"My glasses... My glasses, where are you...?" 

 Drake continued to search around the room with difficulty, for his glasses and after many attempts and struggles he was finally able to find them.

"My glasses...!"

After holding them in his hands he lifted them from the ground and then put his face in front of him again after which he was able to see the room in front of him.

Drake noticed in front of him far away in the corner of the room after regaining his glasses a small dark black shadow with a pair of sharp eyes and glowing

in green and focused on him silently from afar.

Which made him tilt his head a little and he also focused his gaze on that shadow for a while which was apparently the thing that jumped out of the darkness

and suddenly dropped him to the ground with force.

"Cat...?"

"It really scared me..."

"I thought it was a ghost"

Drake was relieved and surprised after he knew what jumped on him came out of nowhere and fell to the ground while looking at him from afar.

He noticed that she was staring at him intensely and it seemed that she had been locked in the room here by mistake, which seemed hungry while looking at him, which

smiled at him and then took out some food from his bag and threw it to him, which approached the food and started eating it after finishing it, he got closer

to him and Drake brought out more food for her, which he started eating while looking at him silently, which he loved animals a lot, especially cats

and snakes.

After that, he left the cat eating the food, then got up and started to re-collect the rest of the documents that had fallen from him previously.

After finishing collecting all the documents, he put them in the place where Professor Adam asked him to leave the documents room, which he opened

the door and he and the black cat got out of it.

 Outside after finally exiting one of the corners of the large group and the dark hall, Drake began walking in order to return to a different corridor which was 

fully lit and steady and which when he passed through it appeared in it with his entire body. 

With a gentle and calm facial expression, his body appearance is slim with his facial features above average with dark black hair and a neat hairstyle with many strands of hair falling in front of it and large gray eyes in front of him a pair of beautiful glasses and he was wearing clothes consisting of a white jacket with a T-shirt 

Pants and shoes and a large backpack all in black. 

Even wearing those clothes that were simple on his slim body, his gentle facial expression and his friendly and calm demeanor made his slim appearance attractive to the eyes.

Drake Green was a sophomore college student, 21 years old, with an average height of about 173 cm. 

Drake walked down the corridor for a while, until he finally reached the student lockers, and there he stopped in front of his lockers, and when he opened them with their key, a white paper fell on the ground. Drake was a little surprised by the fall of this paper and wondered about it. 

"What is this paper...?" 

Seconds after wondering to himself, he moved his body and lowered his hands to pick up the paper that fell on the ground from his lockers. 

"A letter." 

After lifting the paper from the ground, it became clear from the white paper wrapped in an envelope around him in an elegant and well-sealed way that it was a letter. 

Drake stared at the letter in his hands for a while, wondering who the sender was, or did he not have a friend or anything that he could hear about a friend in his entire life? He did not know or know anything that could give him a friend or girlfriend between the sexes throughout his life. 

 After a while of thinking about the envelope and the letter in his hands and examining it well and realizing that there was no name of the sender on the front or back of the letter, Drake sighed a little and then finally opened it and tried to find out who this letter was from. -Open-

[To Mr. Green since that day you helped me in my studies and you have completely changed my life which was a complete failure and you have enlightened me to the right path and thanks to you now I can enter the third year and get accepted and achieve my dream I want to thank you in a sincere way but all this year I have been watching you and I did not find the right time to update you and thanks for that I chose this day since it is the last day of school I will be waiting for you behind the university at around 4:30]

"...."

Even after reading the message twice and the third time as well Drake could only figure out three things from it the first is that the sender is a girl the second is that she wants to thank him for helping him and the third is that he chose such a day which happened to be not very busy for that but other than that she did not mention anything else in the message like her name which for a while made him guess who this girl is but to no avail.

 After thinking for a while and couldn't figure out anything, he sighed gently, then raised his other hand and looked at his watch, which was showing

Try the time.

[4:40]

Which was showing forty-four minutes, meaning that the time difference between the time in the message was about ten minutes, maybe even the sender of the message had returned it by now.

"....."

Drake thought about that, for someone who loved to be on time and committed to it, he believed that.

But even knowing that, he decided to go to the place the messenger described, which was behind the university.
