Chapter-90 (Part 2)

With a heavy heart, I also headed back to my room, dearly hoping that Ivy would be fast asleep by now. I felt exhausted mentally and really didn’t want to deal with the uncomfortable silences and the pain we both were carrying at the moment.

Halfway through the stairs that led to the second floor which was allocated entirely to us, a piercing scream halted me in my steps. The voice was so familiar that before I knew it, I was dashing up the stairs at top speed. Anxiety rushing through my veins, I slammed upon the door and before I could spot Ivy, another scream from her filled the silence in the room.

“Ivy!” I cried out, rushing towards her.

She was lying on the bed but it seemed like she was experiencing some kind of sleep paralysis. Tears pooled down her eyes and she screamed again, the sound filled with fear and pain.

“Ivy,” I slapped her cheeks, trying to shake her awake. Her body was hard and cold as ice and she was struggling to breath, almost like someone maybe strangling her.
