Electra's Pov
The darkness was suffocating, and my breath came in ragged gasps, my lungs burning as I pushed my legs to move faster.
The sound of my boots pounding against the invisible ground kept echoing in my ears, but it was drowned out by the haunting and maniacal laughter that followed me like a hunter stalking a prey.
It wasn't the kind of laughter that depicted any kind of joy—it was mocking, sinister, and maddening, and it grew even louder as the shadows got closer and closer.
I couldn't see anything except the vague outlines of the shadows chasing me. My chest tightened, and the burn in my legs became even more unbearable. I tried to keep going, to push through the pain, but my body was screaming at me to stop.
