Ella’s POV
Run!
I screamed and bolted as fast as my legs could carry me, without even thinking twice.
I didn’t look back to check if the girls were behind me. I just ran.
The noise grew louder, and the air thickened with fog, so dense I could barely see my own hands in front of me, let alone where I was going.
I couldn’t see anyone. It felt like I was completely alone.
Fear seized me. My heart hammered so hard I could feel it in my throat.
What do I do? What do I do next? But my mind was too flooded with panic to form a single rational thought.
“Alex! Olivia! Mandy!” I screamed their names into the grey nothing, praying they were still alive enough to answer.
Silence.
My heart sank like a stone in my chest as dark thoughts began rushing in.
“Alex! Olivia! Mandy, are you there?”
