As I walked down the path, I heard a cry that seemed to come from behind me. "Athen, stop! Don't go there!" The voice, feminine in nature, was laced with urgency and warning, but it fell on deaf ears. My feet, as if controlled by an external force, carried me towards a creature that stood at the far end of the path. It looked dreadful and scary, but I could not find any season to stop my feet."Where are you going? Don't go there. It's not safe," a manly voice joined in, trying to stop me from going any further. But I was unable to even turn around and look at the concerned pair. It was as if there was a magnetic power pulling me towards the creature, and I couldn't resist.As I walked closer to it, a feeling of dread crept up my spine. The creature, whatever it was, looked menacing, and I could feel my heart beating faster in my chest. Despite the warning cries of the two behind me, I couldn't bring myself to stop.At some distance, behind a bush soaked in darkness, something peered
As I reached for the door, the voice of an old lady suddenly winded in my ear, causing me to freeze. I slowly turned around to find her standing there, her frail figure supported by a walking stick. Her eyes seemed to glow with a strange intensity, and I couldn't shake the feeling that she was up to something."Where are you going?" she asked, her voice like a serpent's hiss.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. "Uhmm… I… I… nowhere," I stammered, my hands raised in the air defensively. I didn't want to give her the impression that I was trying to escape from her clutches. But deep down, I was regretting my decision to enter her cottage in the first place.Ignoring my discomfort, she gestured towards a table where she had laid out some food. "Come. I've cooked food for you. I reckon you must be hungry."I hesitated for a moment, but my stomach was growling with hunger, and I knew that I needed to eat something. Slowly, I walked towards the table, taking small steps to a
The moon had hidden behind the clouds, leaving us in complete darkness. The only source of light was the flashlights we carried in our hands. Each step felt like a test of courage, as if we were walking on thin ice, waiting for it to crack beneath us.As we continued to walk through the eerie woods, I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were being watched. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig, made my heart skip a beat. I couldn't wait to be out of this place."Neither could I see any danger nor anything relevant to it!" the guy said, his voice filled with exhaustion. He looked like he was about to collapse at any moment."Well, we will have to keep going," the girl said, her voice trembling with fear. I could tell that she was just as scared as the rest of us."Danger, danger. Where are you!? Show up. Quickly. We are in a hurry." The guy's voice echoed through the woods, making us all burst into a fit of nervous laughter.But the laughter didn't last long. The woods seemed
We dashed out of wood in a frantic hurry, as though our lives depended on it. My mind had gone numb, unable to process the events that had just transpired. The night had been filled with strange happenings that defied all explanation. What had happened to my body? I couldn't comprehend it.Panic surged through me as I realized that no one was following us, yet the sense of dread hung heavy in the air. The silence was deafening, and all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.My team members and I had been on a scavenger hunt, but now that was the last thing on our minds. The thrill of the game had been replaced with the fear of the unknown. Our survival was all that mattered at that moment.As we ran, I noticed that my teammates too were completely shaken, their faces contorted with fear. We were united in our shared terror.The world around us was a blur as we sprinted through the dark streets, our breaths coming in short gasps. Every corner seemed to hold a potential threat,
I attempted to reassure myself that Ayra's team had not arrived yet and she must be with them. I repeated this explanation to myself over and over again, trying to convince my mind that everything was fine with her. However, an unrecognizable force was pulling at me, making me disbelieve at the explanation I was giving myself.My heart was racing as I stood there, waiting for Ayra to arrive. The anticipation was almost too much to bear. I could feel a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead as I anxiously looked around for any sign of her. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Travis appeared beside me and patted me on the back, bringing me back to reality. I turned to face him, feeling embarrassed for being so lost in my own head."Uh, I'm… umm.." I stuttered, not knowing how to respond."Let's go." Travis gestured, and I followed him, grateful for his presence.We walked down the stairs in silence, my mind still racing with thou
As I stood near them observing the team members of our host, I noticed something peculiar on their faces. They seemed to be enjoying their refreshments, chatting casually and laughing, as if nothing was amiss. However, there was an unsettling air about them that made me unable to look away.My gaze wandered from one team member to the next, searching for any hint of discomfort or concern. But to my surprise, they all appeared to be at ease, with no signs of anxiety or worry. This made me wonder how they could be so relaxed, especially given the circumstances.Just then, our host called her team lead aside, away from the prying eyes of the other members. It was clear that they didn't want to create a scene or attract attention to themselves by divulging the fact that one of their team members, Ayra, had gone missing. The last thing they needed was for the students to panic or lose their focus over the news.As I observed the team lead move away from the group, I couldn't help but notic
As I listened to the explanation given by her team lead, I couldn't help but feel unsatisfied. It was as if there was something hidden beneath the surface that he was not willing to share. The more I tried to comprehend the information he provided, the more perplexed I became.It was a chilly evening, and a misty breeze blew around me, sending sharp chills down my spine. I wrapped my arms tightly around my body, hoping to ward off the cold. As I stood behind the tree, observing the scene, I couldn't shake off the feeling of mystery and suspense that surrounded me. The team lead and the other members walked away, back into the crowd, where everyone was waiting eagerly for the big reveal. But I remained rooted to my spot, lost in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen when the students found out about the missing student. How would they react? Would they be afraid? Would they feel unsafe? My mind was in a state of chaos, and I couldn't think straight. It was as if I was
A shiver ran down my spine as I rose from the chair, my eyes darting around the room nervously. The lady who had served me the food looked perfectly normal, but something about her made me feel uneasy. It was as if a dark cloud hung over her, threatening to engulf me at any moment. Despite my unease, I couldn't deny that the food she had served was delectable. Every bite was an explosion of flavors, a symphony of tastes that I had never experienced before.As I pushed my plate away, my heart started racing. I knew that it was time for me to leave, but my legs felt like lead, unable to move from the spot. The lady smiled at me, her eyes glistening in the dim light of the room. I felt a sudden urge to run, to escape from her clutches, but something held me back.The flavors of the food were still lingering in my mouth, tantalizing my taste buds. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was something about the taste that felt off, almost sinister. A bitter aftertaste lingered at the bac
With each passing moment, the beating of my heart grew louder and more frenzied, as though trying to break free from my chest. My body was tense, and the air inside the small, roofless hut felt thick and suffocating. I couldn't help but be drawn to him, despite the fact that he was a werewolf - a prime rival of my kind, a vampire.As my gaze trailed over his hair, my mind was filled with conflicting emotions. Intrigue, desire, and a sense of danger that sent shivers down my spine. I knew the truth, that he was my enemy, but I couldn't help but be drawn to him like a moth to a flame.My thoughts were interrupted as I craned my neck to look up at the sky. The sight that met my eyes was breathtaking. The natural light of the rising sun was spreading across the horizon, painting the world in shades of orange and pink. I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe, even as fear began to creep in.As the first rays of sunlight began to spill into the hut, I knew that I was in danger. M
As I stood in the hut, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The eerie silence was deafening, and the darkness seemed to envelope me like a shroud. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the trees, breaking the silence."You're a cursed alpha!" the voice yelled, sending shivers down my spine.I turned my head around to find the source of the voice, but there was nothing but darkness staring me in the face. My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to maintain my balance. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper."That's not important," the voice replied. "Who am I? You should ask who you are. And I'm here to answer your question."The voice began to grow closer, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I was surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything around me. The voice seemed to be coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time."What do you mean by it?" I asked, confused and uncertain.The darkness seemed to part, and a shaft of light appeared from behind the
I looked at Athen, hoping that he would wake up and save us from the witch. But to my dismay, he fainted on the floor. The witch was indeed a powerful force to confront. My nerves began to pulsate with fear as the witch let out a roar of happiness and victory. She had successfully turned me down, sucking out all my energies and powers. I watched helplessly as she approached Athen, her eyes gleaming with triumph. With a wave of her hand, Athen began to writhe in pain, as if his body was being consumed by an invisible force. The witch's laughter filled the air as she continued to drain his energy. My heart sank as I realized that we were doomed. I closed my eyes, feeling the weight of disappointment and defeat. The darkness consumed me as I lost consciousness, unable to fight any longer.When I opened my eyes, I was disoriented, unsure of where I was. It felt as though my head was spinning, my body aching with a sharp pain that ran down my spine. I felt a light touch on my cheek, almo
My eyes felt heavy, as if lead weights were attached to my lids, dragging them down with an unrelenting force. The world around me slowly faded away, consumed by the overpowering darkness that was rapidly encroaching upon me. I struggled to make sense of my surroundings, but my mind was a jumbled mess of confusion and disorientation. A metallic tang filled my nostrils, and I soon realized that blood was dripping from my nose, staining my lips with its crimson hue. The sharp, searing pain that coursed through my body reminded me of the brutal blow that had been dealt to me by my assailant. I lay there, unable to move anything except for my breath, feeling as though the very life force was being drained from my body. A heavy sense of disappointment washed over me, a bitter reminder of the reason I had come to this place in the first place. My mission was simple: save Ayra, break the spell that had been cast upon her, and bring her back to safety at the hotel. But now, as I lay helple
I stared at her with eyes full of disbelief, trying to find some resemblance of Ayra in her features. But her face, it was like that of a stranger. My mind was caught up in a whirlwind of thoughts, unable to comprehend how this woman, who looked nothing like the Ayra I knew, could possibly be her. The more I tried to process it, the more confused I became. It was as if I was standing on the edge of a precipice, unsure whether to take the leap of faith or not.A feeling of uncertainty washed over me, making me question everything. What if she was a witch, trying to lure me into her trap? I couldn't take any chances, not with Ayra's life at stake. But something in her eyes, a spark of determination, made me want to believe her.I leaned in closer, trying to get a better look at her. The sight of her tears still streaming down her cheeks sent shivers down my spine. She was hurt, badly hurt, and in desperate need of my help. As I crouched down next to her, I felt a surge of compassion was
