    Kenny and Zeres were roughly dragged by the guards down a dimly lit corridor. The sound of their footsteps echoed off the cold, stone walls of the Summer Palace. This kind of treatment was supposed to send shivers down their spines, if they couldn't have ever been in that situation. Their hands were bound tightly behind their backs, leaving them defenseless against the armed men who showed no mercy. As they approached a large wooden door, they didn't know what awaited them, but they needed to take risks.The guards pushed open the door, revealing a room that sent chills down anyone's spine,but to Kenny and Zeres, they had see such a room very many times.. It was a place where nightmares seemed to take shape. The room was dimly lit by a single, flickering candle on a dusty old table in the corner. Shadows danced ominously along the walls, casting distorted figures that seemed to twist and turn in the dim light.In the center of the room, a worn-out sofa stood, its once vibrant colors

    Kenny stood defiantly before the masked man, his eyes narrowed with determination. Despite the venomous words that had been hurled at his mother, he refused to let them penetrate his armor. This was part of the plan he just came up with a while ago."You think your evil words about my mom can affect me?" Kenny's voice quivered with a mix of anger and conviction. "Well, let me tell you something. My mother is a good person, and I love her with all my heart!"The masked man slowly rose from his chair, his wicked laughter echoing through the dimly lit room. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on his masked face, adding to his menacing presence. With deliberate steps, he advanced towards Kenny, his eyes fixed on his prey.As the masked man approached, he reached out a gloved hand and lightly ran his fingers through Kenny's hair. With a sarcastic smirk, he said, "Oh, Kenny, you're such a handsome boy. No wonder everyone is head over heels for you, even men. Maybe I would go for y

    Natasha sat alone in her dimly lit hotel room, her body tingling with discomfort as something continued to wreak havoc within her. Unbeknownst to her, a sinister substance coursed through her veins, its insidious effects intensifying with each passing moment. She scratched at her arms, the incessant itch seemingly originating from deep within her skin. The sensation grew more maddening by the second, causing her to mutter to herself, "What's happening to me? Why is this itch so unbearable?"Her fingers moved restlessly, desperately seeking relief from the torment. But no matter how much she scratched, the itch persisted, spreading its malevolent presence throughout her body. Natasha's frustration grew, her mind grappling for an explanation. "Did I come into contact with something poisonous? But how? I haven't encountered anything out of the ordinary."As the minutes stretched into an agonizing eternity, Natasha's vision began to betray her. The familiar sights of her hotel room blurre

    Natasha slowly emerged from the depths of sleep, her senses gradually awakening to the world around her. As her eyes fluttered open, she found herself in her hotel room, momentarily disoriented. It took a few seconds for the hazy outlines to sharpen, and her gaze settled on Dave, sitting beside her bed with a furrowed brow."D-Dave?" Natasha stammered, her voice barely a whisper. She tried to sit up, but her body felt heavy and sluggish.Dave's concerned eyes met hers, and he sighed with relief. "Finally, you're awake. I've been trying to reach you all night. Why didn't you pick up any of my calls?"Natasha blinked, her mind racing to grasp the fragmented memories of the previous night. "I... I don't remember receiving any calls," she replied, her voice laced with confusion. "My body felt strange, itching all over, and my vision became blurry."Dave's brows knitted together, worry etching deeper lines on his face. "You don't remember anything after that? No missed calls, no messages?"

    Kenny sat in his room, engrossed in his book,but he couldn't even understand what he was reading. His mind was being disturbed by the thoughts of what Natasha was going through. It was all because of him. He blamed himself for failing to protect her. This was the promise Kenny made to Natasha that he would always protect her. Kenny was still on the first page of the book when his phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. The number displayed was unfamiliar, a string of digits he had never seen before. Curiosity piqued, he reached for his phone and unlocked it, opening the message."Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse at midnight. Come alone."The words glowed eerily on the screen, sending a shiver down Kenny's spine. The warehouse had a reputation in town—a dark history that had become the stuff of legends.
