Alex and Emily stood frozen in fear, their hearts pounding as they scanned the dimly lit room in search of the source of the maniacal voice. Suddenly, a couch flew through the air, flying towards Emily with deadly force. Reacting quickly, Alex darted towards her and clasped her hand tightly, yanking her out of the way just in time to avoid the incoming attack. The two stumbled backwards as they were out of breath.
"Are you okay, Emily?" Alex asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Noah. He wants to torture us more," Emily said, her voice trembling.
"Don't worry, Emily. We'll figure something out together," Alex reassured her.
In the aftermath of the couch attack, objects began to fly towards them from all directions. Reacting quickly, Alex reached out to grab Emily from behind and then both of them sprinted down the hallway, their hearts pounding with fear.
As they make their way down the dimly lit hallway, Emily and Alex finally arrive at a room and quickly lock the door behind them. They are both panting, exhausted from running for what felt like hours. Emily turns to Alex, her eyes filled with determination, and says, "Noah, we have to defeat the demon!"
Alex nods, but his voice is laced with worry. "Yes, but how can we weaken his power? He's so skilled at trapping people in the fictional world," he says, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
"Mom, where are you?"
Emily heard the voice of a little girl, filled with sorrow as if she were searching for her mother. Emily recognized the voice immediately, it was the same voice she had heard the night Harry was killed.
"Noah," Emily called out, her voice barely above a whisper. Alex turned to her and asked, "Yes, what happened?"
Emily took a deep breath and said, "Remember, I have told you that I heard a girl's voice who was searching for her mom that night." Alex's eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Did you hear that voice again?"
Emily nodded, her eyes filling with tears. "Yes, I did. Have you not heard that voice?" she exclaimed.
Alex's heart sank as he realised that Emily was the only one who could hear the voice. He hesitantly asked, "Emily, have you experienced any kind of trauma?"
Emily raised her eyebrow in confusion and said, "Why are you asking me this question?"
Suddenly, Emily was hit with a memory that made her feel like she was being crushed by a boulder. "That voice," she said in a trembling voice, "It's similar to my childhood voice."
Emily rose to leave the room, but Alex tried to stop her. She didn't listen to him and ran out of the room, her heart was racing. As she reached the hallway, she saw a woman with long hair running towards the end of the hall. Emily decided to chase her.
As Emily entered the hall, she noticed a woman standing in a corner, facing the entrance door. Slowly, she approached the woman and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. When the woman turned around, Emily let out a terrified scream. She screams because the woman's face is completely rotten.
Alex hurried over to Emily as she ran into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Noah, when I was young, I never felt loved. My dad passed away when I was just a baby, and my mom left me alone at home when I was 10. My aunt took care of me after that," Emily shared the whole story while crying on his chest. Alex patted her back and said "So you are the one who was searching for her mom," Emily nodded.
Stepping back, Alex explained, "Emily, Damon Shadowcast is skilled at manipulation. He uses his victims's deepest desires and secrets to control them. He used your longing to meet your mom against you."
