"You shouldn't be here" I spoke as I took a few steps back."I should have been here a long time ago. Mariposa"
He was slowly coming closer to me, and now I was moving towards the wall. There was no other place to go back to before I could do anythi...

She hurriedly descended the stairs from the corridor, fear was evident on her face, tears streaming from her eyes, and she was sobbing softly. To prevent her voice from reaching anyone else, she covered her mouth as she wept. The decision to stay late at college today was perhaps the most crucial decision of her life. Hastily, she ran towards the main gate of the college through the ground corridor.
But, before she could reach the gate, she stumbled over something and fell to the ground. A painful scream escaped her mouth, turning her sobs into cries. When she looked back, the thing she had slipped on was nothing but a corpse, just like the one she had seen above. Out of fear, she forgot to run and started crawling backward. Occasionally wiping her tears, she heard footsteps descending and a whistle in her ears.
Aadrika quickly stood up from her place and entered a classroom. She swiftly crouched under a bench to retrieve her phone and dialed the first number on her contact list. It was 8 o'clock in the evening, and outside, it was dark with heavy rain. Along with the sharp sound of thunder, Aadrika's heartbeat was also racing.
After a few moments, the call was answered, and she quickly brought the phone to her ears, saying, "Hello Anya." Upon hearing her fearful voice, Anya responded with concern, "What happened, Rika? Where are you, and why are you so scared?" Upon hearing her words, Aadrika started crying, and just as she was about to say something, the door of the classroom opened, and the same man entered inside.
Upon seeing the man enter, Aadrika's breath seemed to catch, and she suddenly became calm. The deep-seated fear in her eyes intensified with each passing moment. She enveloped herself in her arms, placing a hand over her mouth, trembling. Perhaps, coming here today was not the best decision. She slowly moved away from the seat next to her towards the other side, which made her take a deep breath.
"Are you frightened of me, my muse?"
she felt a cold warmth around her neck and slipped out from under the bench. The man standing in front of her was not showing his face. However, the smell of blood emanating from him was quite vivid, reminding Aadrika of the brutality that had occurred. She started to step back, fearfully speaking,
"Please don't kill me, what have I done to you, please let me go.”
"Why would I ultimately harm you, my muse?"
He said as he approached her, and Aadrika began to cling to the wall, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. The man came closer to her and started rubbing his thumb on her cheeks. Aadrika felt something wet on her cheeks, and the smell of blood in her nose intensified even more.
She pushed his hands away from her face and tried to move away from him to the other side, but before she could escape, she collided with a table and fell to the ground. Aadrika attempted to stand up, but due to the fall, she had injured herself on the table, causing her to fall back to the ground, and the man slowly began to approach her.
Aadrika slowly began to crawl backwards, tears flowing from her eyes. She couldn't understand what to do in the end. The man approached Aadrika and started caressing her face with his fingers.
"Sleep peacefully, baby,"
he said, injecting something into her neck. Sensing this, Aadrika began to struggle against his grip, but he didn't let go. Gradually, Aadrika's eyes started to close heavily.
But before her eyes could fully close, a loud thunderclap struck, and a faint light illuminates the dark classroom. Seeing the person sitting in front of her with her half-opened eyes, Aadrika's eyes widen, and she says in a trembling voice.
"Y–ou, but why..."
Before she could say anything further, she faints. After she faints, the person picks her up in a bridal style with a devilish smile, looking at her face and says,
