71 Chapter 65 - Deep Voice (2/2)

Her teeth were chattering from the cold, but she felt less afraid. There was no more howling, so she turned around and was heading back to her bedroom. The shadows began to creep down the floors, the claw-like figures crawling across her body.

*Woosh*

Now she felt her fear. The fear that clenches your gut, then makes your stomach tumble, then makes you heart skip a bit, then dries up your throat. After all that happens, fear leaves you with a trembling body and makes you stop, makes you still, makes you keep thinking about whats going to happen next. This is what happened to Kasumi. Her gut clenched, her stomach tumbled, her heart skipped a beat, and her throat dried up. Then she stopped and trembled, her cautious eyes darting from every corner of the room.

”H-hello?” asked Kasumi. She quickly swallowed her saliva, trying to quench her sudden thirst.

She walked forward only a small step, trying to asses her surroundings, ”Who's there? D-don't think I can't hurt you! I'm the strongest y-young lady in the land!”

A small chuckles answers her, making chills run down her spine.

Kasumi frowned, ”Why are you laughing? What do you want?”

A deep voice answers, filled with bloodthirst, ”It's just a little payback, you little white lotus. Do you know how many people you've hurt?”

Kasumi trembled more from the voice, ”Who are you?”

The deep voice chuckled again, this one less light-hearted, this one more angry, ”Ignoring my questions, aren't you? That's fine, I'm not hurt...”

Kasumi looked around once more, ”Where are you? I can't see you...”

The deep voice hummed with sympathy, ”It's my time to ignore you... Now, let's begin what I came here for...”

The deep voice laughs. It wasn't happy. Nor sad. Instead, it was malicious.
