41. Into Nightmares

Aurella would stare in horror at the hallway infested with black insects. Looking around, they covered every inch of the manor, sending the fear factor she currently had through the roof.

Trying to calm herself, Aurella began to make her way down the hallway slowly and with each step she took, the bugs moved out of her way. Almost as if they were forming a path for her. Sheepishly walking down the hall, she made her way to the Landing.

Each step closer to the railing upon the landing she made, the louder a sudden thumping noise grew. She began to realize that it was almost like the sound of a heart beat. Slow and methodical.

Looking over the railing, Aurella stared down into the foyer and saw yet another figure made up of the crawling insects standing there. It stared up in her direction, but this one was somehow different compared to the others she had encountered in the previous nightmare.
