The whole building went quiet as though all eyes were on me, and then immediately I heard those footsteps rapidly using the stairs to descend to my location.
I knew I had no time and immediately pushed open the door before she came to meet me.
And indeed she came.
I haven't seen her up close since I was hiding in the classroom before, but now I was able to see her up close.
Again, I could not get a clear look at her face, maybe it was because there were even more cursed spirits than usual converging on her body, but I recognized the statue, and it was definitely her.
I relaxed my body into the darkness of the staircase.
Y,es I didn't go in, I only pushed the door when I discovered it was a dead e,nd and it was one place I did not want to be in.
So I hid directly underneath the staircase, which was at least 30 degrees adjacent to the door, and at least five meters away.
She took large strides as she walked in and muttered my name. I could only watch her shenanigans.
But there was no reply, and she stood close to the door so I could not see what was inside.
After calling my name up to the third time, she got pissed judging from the movement of spirits on her as they instantaneously split and went in all directions moving around looking for ... Me
The shock in my eyes was profound.
Never since my reincarnation have I seen someone use these spirits that way, or use them at all, I thought they were oblivious to them.
My mind was under so much pressure that I froze momentarily staring at her now slightly exposed figure and face mostly.
She was a damsel truly but there was just something about her that was too familiar even though I couldn't see her face
But there was just something about her that made me want to walk up to her and look at that face when I found my body really stiff.
I tried turning around only to find my movements stiff.
It was then that I noticed the cobwebs tied to my skin.
My mouth wasn't shut yet, so I could yell, but for whom? The lady who looks weird and is after me for reasons I don't know?
While in thought, I could feel my body getting pulled back slowly, which should be impossible because I was lying on the wall, so there should be no other space behind me.
The darkness was approaching too much, and even in my body lying asleep somewhere, I could feel it; my heart was beating too heavily.
With fear, I started struggling to move
Sadly, it was futile, I was like a phone on vibration, little movements didn't make much of an impact.
My mind was drifting in the darkness as I was getting dizzy, and my body was already becoming weak.
I could tell that this was likely a symptom of an overdose of some kind of sleep drug.
