What kind of monster is this? Ace seems unnervingly calm.
His, or rather, my lips, start splitting into a creepy grin.
It looks like me, but a crazier and wilder version.
I gulp, shoving my hands deeper into my pockets to control their trembling.
"What...is it?" I ask, trying to sound casually curious, instead of afraid.
"No one knows what he is. He can take the form of anything".
I take a second to process that information.
Wicked eyes keep staring at me from behind the bars.
Then, he lunges forward swiftly and mouths, "Boo!"
I jump back in fright, crashing into the wall behind me.
The thing laughs, a thin and menacing sound that sends chills down my spine.
My heart is pounding against my chest, blocking out every sound.
The fake me grabs the prison bars, curling his fingers about them slowly. The bars begin to glow as he makes contact with it.
Runes start appearing around the bars, clear and unmoving.
They disappear once he uncoils his fingers from the bars.
