"Something's not right…" he muttered under his breath.
This time, there was no hesitation in his tone. Everyone tensed.
Suddenly, the shadow disappeared.
Just like that. Vanished.
A wave of unease swept through the group as they instinctively looked around, their breaths growing uneven.
"Where did it go…?" Chloe whispered.
But before anyone could react... It appeared again. Closer. Much closer.
This time, it stood barely ten meters away from its original position, its presence far more distinct and oppressive.
A chill ran down everyone's spine. 'That's not human…'
Without needing to say it out loud, they all understood.
That thing… was dangerous.
Their gazes immediately shifted toward Silas, who had almost reached them by now.
The moment he saw their expressions, his face hardened.
"What happened?" he asked quickly.
"There's something..." Henry began, but before he could finish, Silas cut him off. "Get in the car. Now."
