Chapter 1 : The Barking In The Forest 

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VtUktN0u

Thunder rumbled above her head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAH4PZ8Yz

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm60AsbWJd

"This storm is getting worse," she whispered.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJLlfn6fmp

Suddenly—

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ee0ZVq5L

BARK! BARK! BARK!

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQRdOOLWWm

A dog barked somewhere inside the forest.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmcRYTMdr

Navya stopped.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhfhi6R8RM

The sound came again.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaXcUGoRYl

BARK! BARK!

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJfcCQrEhU

It sounded desperate, almost like a warning.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkqTtuw9U

She stepped closer to the trees.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jX40OH66U

"Who's there?" she called.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqfAUUggZ

The barking continued.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qjdUgg48T

Gathering her courage, Navya walked into the forest.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2J3TIYZx3

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3032dBP2nY

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNbQoGXlV

Complete silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fwm2SQ9QO

Even the wind seemed to disappear.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5loxiIeYH

A cold shiver ran down her spine.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6rgYr0IkV

Then she saw something glowing between the trees.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNVwjf7jM

Light.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJKvBYdim

A building stood deep inside the forest.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvi8ryPjFY

An old hotel.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjQK2o5YcQ

Warm yellow lights shone from its windows.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyC0JRyU1f

Relieved, Navya hurried toward it.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vUvWvOIhe

The wooden door slowly opened before she could knock.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmmzfJUqZv

A tall man stood there, smiling.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnWm7wF0jK

"Welcome," he said.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifLlkvUJxm

His smile was friendly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFGKvaUQCV

But his eyes looked strangely empty.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjJ3z2llMx

Behind him, several people sat in the hotel lobby.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TnQ1azxiL

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPa7xOKPDH

And every one of them smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokv9PxOkOB

The same smile.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MxNyJ8MY5

The exact same smile.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplC8CwnL5e

Navya suddenly wished she had stayed outside in the storm.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QCY9DU9Kg
