"God damn it!" Scarlet cursed out loud.
The ticking of the clock hit the midnight strike.
The sound vibrated through the ground and shook the cobblestone roads.
She was too late.
Her legs were engraved with metal as she felt her steps becoming more and more robotic and the pain felt as if it was seething her flesh and bones.
The ticking sound becomes rapid. As if it was warning her of what was coming.
People with no faces started appearing from alley ways, antique shops, and the tiniest creaks.
Scarlet's blood ran cold. Shit! Tik Tik Keep running Scarlet! Tik Tik Tik She limps towards the clock tower as she tries to escape the faceless attackers and reach the wooden door. Tik Tik Tik Tik "Come on!" Scarlet screams to herself as she almost reaches the door. Tik Tik Ti- And then the rapid ticking stops.
Scarlet stops in her tracks and lets out a terrified scream.
The last thing she saw was the clock tower start to crumble before her.
And then everything went dark.
Scarlet woke up to her own screaming as sweat sticks to her pajamas and tears roll down her cheeks.
Her panic doesn't dissipate as she reaches for anything to hold but nothing was there. Just darkness and pillows.
She stumbles out of her bed and runs to turn on the lights as if they are her savior. Once she turns on the lights she can visibly see her legs trembling and the disarray of the blankets and pillows in her bed. She runs back to her bed and clutches the blanket as she lets out a shaky breath. Trying to rid the nightmare that seemed to flash in her mind. Mind still scrambled, she puts on her shoes to go to the only place she could think of.
