Chapter Twenty-One
Elsie's POV ✨
My hand trembled as I fumbled for the doorknob, desperation fueling my movements. Sweat coated my forehead as fear threatened to overwhelm me. I couldn't afford to let myself be caught. I had to find a way to survive.
Just as I managed to twist the doorknob and swing the door open, a strong gust of wind swept through the hallway, extinguishing the dim light coming from the street lamps outside. I stumbled out into the night, my heart pounding in my ears.
I ran blindly, my feet carrying me away from the suffocating darkness of my home. Every breath burned in my chest, my muscles aching with each stride. Fear propelled me forward, my mind racing with questions and uncertainty.
As I sprinted through the empty streets, a million thoughts raced through my mind. Who was behind this? Why were they targeting me? I racked my brain, trying to find any clue or connection that could shed light on the sinister events unfolding.
