ZISSA

"Hey! Was it Sabir's voice! You heard it too! Kai!!" Skyler speaks to Kai with her eyes wide open

"Kai! Kai! Where are you??? " Skyler turns back to look at kai

But Kai was nowhere to be seen, the two of them were together a minute ago, but now Kai disappeared somewhere, leaving Skyler alone, indeed this forest was mysterious.

Skyler begins to look for Kai here and there and gets herself to the lake where they were supposed to walk together, She sits by the lake and awaits Kai as she could not find him.

"Kai, you son of bitch! I'll kill you once I see you again!! " Skyler yells in anger

"Ahhh, that punk!! Well, let's finish what I came here for" Skyler pulls out her water bottle and moves to fill it but as she touches the water.

Her shadow in the water changes and takes a darker shape of her, the grey hair of her was red in her shadow, the eyes of hers were purple, her white clothes with golden embroidery were changed to blue on black, the shadow looked like a dark side of Skyler

Skyler moves her hand in haste as she looks at her shadow

"It can't be !!! It's impossible !!" Skyler stutters while looking at the shadow

"IT'S NOT ME!!!!!! IT'S NOT ME!!! IT CAN'T BE MEEEE!!!!!!!" Skyler cries out

The shadow that resembled her was not just a shadow it was something more ominous it grabs Skyler's hand and pulls her into the water before She could react

(Bloobb... Blooobbb…)

…

Cawww! Cawwww!! Caww!! (Crow cawing loudly in the distance)

"Huh!!! Wha—"

Cawww!!!!!! Cawwww!!!! Cawwww!!!!! (crow cawing)

In a moment the cawing of the crows amplified, the crows covered the sky with their black bodies as a whole. the night sky was turned completely black.

"what's this place?? What's happening!!!" Skyler freaked out as she didn't know what was happening around her

"What!!! What Is happening !!!!!!! " Skyler screams

As Skyler shouts crows over his head fades into the sky, in the blink of an eye, She finds herself in the hall of a manor.

In the mansion Insects were creeping everywhere, big insects were killing the small ones, the floor was painted in red blood, there were no lights in that place which made it hard for anyone to look around.

Skyler tries to walks herself out of the place but navigating in that terrible place was hard as hell.

But she still somehow moves around the Mansion for a while but fails to find an exit and continues to struggle In the dark, while she was moving she opens a door of a room with a broken lock on the door latch.

The room was cold and calm there were no insects or blood in the room but there was something else in the room which was bizarre, the room was filled with creepy dolls.

As Skyler walks inside the room, the door closes shut with a bang, She turns her head back slowly to find the reason behind the closing of the door but finds nothing.

While She was looking behind her back, a voice echoes in the room

"Are you scared?? " the voice questions Skyler but Skyler does not answers back

"my child, are you scared of me!" the voice again asks

"no!! no!! I'm I'm not scareddd!" Skyler answers in a frightened tone

"Who are you? Why have you brought me here" Skyler grows some courage and cross-questions the voice

"you don't know me? I'm the one who's been closest to you since the day you were born, you're my child" the voice speaks in a sarcastic tone

"wait!!! No! No! No!!! I'm not your child, it's just a rumour you're a lie! You can't be real nooooo" Skyler shouts in the teary eyes.

"why it has to be me!!!!!!! Whyyyyyy!!!!!!!!" Skyler cries loudly as tears broke out of her eyes.

"don't cry Daughter, I'm always with you don't cry come close to me I'll help you " the voice Tries to comfort Skyler in a soft voice

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU I'VE TO SUFFER SO MUCH" Skyler yells at the voice

A gust of wind collects in a centered space and forms a dark figure.

the voice which Skyler was hearing shows herself, the voice looked as same as the Shadow of Skyler she saw in the lake

"It was not your fault that you were different, it's their fault that they never accepted you" the girl pats Skyler's shoulder

"Whatever you do! Whatever strategy you use I'm not accepting you 'ZISSA' you can't persuade me, you're the one who ruined my life I won't accept you" Skyler yells at the woman while crying

"Aw, my little child, I see you're still afraid. And you know much about me, so manipulating you is not a way umm what do I do then, oh yeah, I can do that" the woman smirks and talks to herself

The woman touches Skyler's breast and looks into her eyes "what if I break this seal! Love"

"The seal! You can break it! You can really do it! " Skyler hopelessly asks the woman.

"Yeah, in a second, but I'll need something in return! Wanna deal"

"What do you need in return! My soul? My body? " Skyler asks the woman in a desperate way

"I'm not a devil who'll ask for your soul, I'll ask you when it'll be time. It's no fun right now. But then you must be prepared to pay the price," the woman smiles and walks away.

Soon after the woman leaves, Skyler is teleported back to the place where she was.

Skyler wakes up near the lake and tries to walk away from the lake but as she stands up, her body screeches out of pain and loses its strength causing Skyler to faint on the ground.
