Capítulo 41: You Are Hotter

"Shh, calm down, Islinda," Valerie whispered to her, running his hand over her face and wiping away the sweat and hair in the way. 

But how could Islinda calm down when something was out there and haunted her? 

"I'm telling you what I saw -" 

Valerie pressed his finger against her lips and shut her up. He rubbed his hands down her arm and the gesture must have a calming effect because Islinda sucked in lungfuls of breaths and the trembling stopped. 

"You should stay here. I would check it out." He kissed her on the forehead and gently pulled her away from the door. 

"Wait -!" Islinda reached for him but Valerie was gone. He literally vanished from the spot and only the cold breeze was left in his wake. He was so fast and now that she was alone, Islinda had a ridiculous thought of the creature creeping up from behind her and snatching her away before Valerie realizes it.
