Chapter 22 Tragic Departure 2 (2/2)

Like a ghost or something....

She looked towards the walls of the cave and saw fragments of what looked like broken glass. She looked forward and saw something shining. Slowly, they made their way to it.

But as soon as the light shined on it, Inna screamed.

”AHHHHHH--” She dropped the stone as it lighted up a skeleton with a ruby ring beside it.

George immediately clamped Inna's mouth, stopping her scream halfway. Then George looked at her.

”Calm down. It's dead. It's just bones. Nothing more. We need to hurry up.” George whispered.

Inna nodded as George removed his hand. She slowly inhaled and exhaled, calming herself down.

After a few moments, they continued walking. When Inna was about to get tired from walking aimlessly, she heard a low growl.

She had goose bumps from the fright of the growl. But the situation didn't give her enough time to recover because following the growl was another weird piercing sound that echoed throughout the walls of the cave. After that strange piercing sound, she felt a gust of wind. And in that gust of wind, she heard the five words.

”Sorry. I had no choice.”

She looked back as soon as she heard that familiar voice. Only to see empty space.

George was gone!
