"Uh... no. I'm just surprised, I guess," you reply. "I wasn't expecting to be greeted this way, princess."
"Oh? It seems quite natural to me, after all, I enter and leave stories quite often," she replies with a smirk. "So, tell me, novelite, do I intimidate you?" she asks, her eyes glowing brighter in the dimming light of approaching twilight.
Your breath halts in your throat, just for a moment, as you think about your reply. As if sensing that moment, her smirk widens into a toothy grin.
"That's ok, novelite, I understand. Knowledge can be scary. How about this, why don't you join me?" she asks as your vision dims. You only have a moment to think about what to do before you feel yourself completely slip into the darkness.
