New Friend, New Place

In Helena's Dream

She kept running fast and feeling scared as she didn't know who was chasing her.

Helena's breath was labored as she struggled to navigate the difficult path.

There were two long walls enclosing Helena. "Where am I?" Helena asked, her steps slowing down.

"Someone... please help me!" Helena exclaimed. But her voice was completely inaudible.

"What's happening? Why can't my voice come out?" Helena held her own throat.

Panic spread across her face as she opened her mouth wide, trying to scream, but no sound came out.

The darkness intensified as if it was gradually consuming the light. Helena began to feel the walls, which felt cold and damp.

"What's happening? Where am I?" Helena inquired, her sight barely capturing a faint glimpse of the scene before her. Just as Helena mustered the courage to take a step forward, a pair of hands suddenly reached out towards her.

No!
