The hidden room was silent, except for the faint hum of electricity from a broken light above. 🚩
Shadows clung to the corners, and the air smelled of metal and dust.
Feriha's fingers tightened around the silver bracelet. Her heart pounded, but she refused to let fear take control.
"Eric… stay close," she whispered. 🔉
He nodded, moving just behind her, flashlight raised.
Then, from the darkness, a soft, deliberate voice rang out:
"Impressive. You found me so quickly." 😅
Selene stepped into the dim light. Her presence filled the room, calm yet threatening, like a predator circling its prey.
Feriha's breath caught. Selene's eyes ;cold, sharp, and calculating ;met hers.
"You've grown," Selene continued, her tone almost admiring. "Stronger. But strength won't save her." 😉
Feriha felt her fists clench. "Stop playing games, Selene. Where is she?"
Selene smiled faintly, the kind of smile that never touched her eyes.
"She's close. Very close. But first… I want you to remember."
"Remember what?" Feriha demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear.
"The promise," Selene said softly, stepping closer. "The one you made… but forgot. That promise decided everything."😆
Feriha's mind raced. The memory felt just beyond her reach ;a puzzle she couldn't solve.
Selene tilted her head. "Ah… yes. That's right. You don't remember. That's why this will be fun."
Eric stepped forward, flashlight cutting through the shadows.
"Stop threatening her. Whatever you're planning, it ends tonight."😡
Selene laughed softly, a sound that chilled Feriha to the bone.
"End tonight? Oh, no, my dear boy. This is only the beginning. The real game starts now."
Her eyes flicked toward the back of the room, and Feriha felt it ;the presence of the girl with the blue ribbon, hidden, watching, waiting. 💠
Selene raised a hand, and the shadows seemed to shift, closing in.
"You'll have to make a choice, Feriha. One wrong move… and everything you care about disappears."
Feriha's chest tightened. Her mind spun with fragments of memory, fear, and determination.
She swallowed hard.
Then whispered, almost to herself:
"I don't care what it takes… I will save her."
Selene's smile widened.
"Good. I was hoping you'd say that. Now, let's see if you really mean it." 🙂
And with a swift motion, she disappeared into the shadows, leaving Feriha and Kian in the dark…
their hearts racing, their minds screaming, and the game finally beginning. 🎬
