He turned around.
Slowly.
His heart was pounding so loud he could hear it in his ears.
But there was nothing.
Only darkness.
Thick… heavy… suffocating.
Sami frowned.
"No… I heard it…"
His voice trembled.
Then—
A breath.
Right behind his neck.
Cold.
Slow.
Not human.
Sami froze.
He didn't dare to move.
Didn't dare to breathe.
A shadow began to form in front of him.
Not behind.
In front.
Like the darkness itself was taking shape.
Watching him.
Waiting.
And then—
Two glowing eyes opened in the void.
Sami's body shook.
This time…
He couldn't escape.
