Chapter 1 : The Barking In The Forest 

The rain fell heavily as Navya walked along the lonely road.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S9jlpiEFG

Thunder rumbled above her head.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCIbcTTgMY

She looked around nervously. Tall trees surrounded the road, their branches twisting like giant claws against the dark sky.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNHxsnfzCS

"This storm is getting worse," she whispered.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0AjeKm9FX

Suddenly—

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OadjH68NJ

BARK! BARK! BARK!

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJhU8mvOu

A dog barked somewhere inside the forest.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8uiBl3Fu

Navya stopped.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJFg04A8Rk

The sound came again.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcMsQ7OJo7

BARK! BARK!

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLaHHHr7eG

It sounded desperate, almost like a warning.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAkMtfnnAY

She stepped closer to the trees.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0YKLwPllX

"Who's there?" she called.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4dpydxE5

The barking continued.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJK95lTGMQ

Gathering her courage, Navya walked into the forest.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7WS2E3rvO

The moment she crossed between the trees, the barking stopped.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJPRbuA9L

Silence.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRLtZsTWHq

Complete silence.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpuqJA36Xc

Even the wind seemed to disappear.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3lt2oaIR8

A cold shiver ran down her spine.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzquJfWWII

Then she saw something glowing between the trees.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7RegcIiTg

Light.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND0GX7L9DS

A building stood deep inside the forest.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5EmoZ1OAl

An old hotel.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRotV0nmtn0

Warm yellow lights shone from its windows.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PBNBS2XrV

Relieved, Navya hurried toward it.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIICUvkcaP

The wooden door slowly opened before she could knock.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7DlFpwC3

A tall man stood there, smiling.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMK7PtdLhk

"Welcome," he said.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBNoPwznyy

His smile was friendly.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50biH1GJSF

But his eyes looked strangely empty.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVebqmwFYR

Behind him, several people sat in the hotel lobby.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgMAnlKfz0

Every one of them turned to look at Navya at exactly the same moment.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG5GDqdBTG

And every one of them smiled.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdIsChe1nc

The same smile.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRat475AW6

The exact same smile.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeERth09KGi

Navya suddenly wished she had stayed outside in the storm.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzq1paD2Pt
