Lana's measured steps, laced with carefulness, cut through the air. Her narrowed eyes surveyed the room.
"Xander? Colin?" Her gentle voice cracked with a hint of nervousness.
Hehe.
The sound of muffled laughter from behind attracted her attention. Her heart pounded in panic, and a chill shot through her spine.
Her instincts screamed at her not to turn. It was like one of those horror movies where the protagonists knew... the ghost was right behind them, and yet they turned around.
Whenever Lana saw those movies, she cursed the brainless protagonists, but now? She was doing the exact thing... sigh!
Sure enough, the moment she turned around, her eyes crashed into gleaming black eyes.
Xander was grinning eerily, his teeth were charcoal black, while his pitch black eyes stared at Lana with amusement.
What unsettled Lana even more was the trickling black substance from the corner of his mouth.
Her fist clenched as the chill seeped into her body.
