The night before the eclipse 2
While the chaos ensued in the village , a lady ran frantically through the dense foliage, her heart pounded in her chest, fear gripping her like icy claws. Blood stained her white and black attire, a grim reminder of the horrors she had witnessed in her village. With every step, she cast nervous glances over her shoulder, the sounds of chaos echoing in her ears.
Suddenly, she stumbled, her foot catching on a root hidden beneath the undergrowth. As she staggered and struggled to regain her footing, she caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of her eye. Three shadows streaked past in a blur, but one of them halted abruptly as if sensing her presence.
Before Nana could react, she collided with the figure, her body bouncing off him like a rag doll. Pain shot through her as she hit the ground, dazed and disoriented. Blinking away the stars dancing in her vision, she looked up to see a man standing over her, his form shrouded in darkness.
