Chapter 288: Echoes of Memory (1)

Time seemed to slow for a moment as the figure wreathed in shadow spoke. Then, like any of this never happened, it disappeared. 

I blinked a couple of times and looked at the spot where the shadowy figure stood moments ago, where it wreathed entire room in darkness. Now, the sunlight shone through the windows like nothing had happened at all.

I hesitantly approached the spot the figure stood moments ago, my heart beating fast, almost as if it were trying to escape from my chest. 

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Nothing unusual. It had disappeared without leaving a single trace behind. 

"Kai?" I head Aoife calling for me. Breakfast was probably ready. 

I got dressed, while still constantly glancing around, expecting to see a shadow jump at me any minute. Yet, nothing happened.
