CHAPTER 8: A Nightmare

XYNETH'S POV

I was huffing, catching my own breath as I ran hard. I didn't know where I was. All I could see was a dark, abandoned building. I didn't know why I was there.

I ran as fast as I could, but it was no use. I heard growling noises, the sound of falling leaves being blown by the wind.

My heart was beating so fast, and I could feel my legs shaking. I wanted to give up. In any minute, my legs could turn into jelly from nervousness and fear.

My legs were trembling, and so was my whole body. My eyes started to water because of the darkness. I was scared of the darkness because I felt like someone might be watching over me.

"H-Hello? W-Who are you? W-Why are you doing this?"

I didn't know what came to my mind when I uttered those words. It felt natural when I spoke them.

Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Yves, and where is Xavy?

I clenched my fists to calm my nerves, but I was still shaking. I didn't know why I felt like this.

I was startled when someone grabbed my hand.
