"Are you scared" she smiled as placed her hands on the piano. Her voice was soft, making it seem like she whispered. My mind went back to the scene that took place just last night. Just thinking about it made my breath hitch. Looking down at the piano keys, my brain couldn't come up with any reasonable answer to her question. Her fingertips suddenly brushed my cheeks, before resting softly on it. My body shivered beneath her touch and my breathing quickened. Everywhere suddenly felt cold. She definitely felt my body shivering beneath her touch because her fingertips left my skin. I felt relieved making me release a heavy breath I didn't know I was holding. " It seems you are scared of me" She stated her voice louder than before making it echo In the empty room. I just couldn't find it in me to look at her. I stayed silent feeling my body tense on the stool I was seated on. " Devin" I heard my name being hollered outside. This was my only chance to escape. Slowly standing up, my eyes flicked to the door just a few feets from me. My freedom_. "I should go" I muttered underneath my breath, dashing towards the door. As soon as my hand almost touched the handle of the door, my whole body tensed. There she was. Standing in front of the door, her blue eyes boring into mine. How did she get there. Who really is she? The real question is__What is she? _________________________________________________________________ A strange creature that rules Alanda, kills without a second thought, feared by all. Just a woman?
