The fear was mind wrecking.
He jumped backward with a flinch to put a distance between himself and the shadow.
But then he realized he messed up by doing that.
Jumping back shouldn't have been what he did. But instead, he thought he should have instantly grabbed the shadow by the neck and strangled it back to death.
Koul put his guard up.
He squared up, alert and ready for the shadow's attack.
But the shadow sat up. And slowly like his neck was stiff, turned his gaze toward Koul's direction.
Koul flinched, but he stood his ground.
However, the shadow didn't launch at him or attack him like he expected. Instead, it remained sitting calmly, staring at Koul with clueless eyes.
Koul stared back in silence, fists still clenched and raised.
The moment stretched for long as both of them remained staring into each other's souls.
But after a while, the shadow's head tilted cluelessly in question.
"…."
Huh?!
