Music to listen while you read: 


Darshita kept running frantically. She could not focus on her friend's warnings or whatsoever. She was worried only about him in the moment.

Darshita: Where are you, Shubham... please be okay...

The eerie silence around her was scary as the only sound were her own footsteps. Every now and then, a soft rustling in the distance made her jump, but she did not stop. She had to find him. Suddenly, through the mist, she spotted a figure standing still.

Darshita: SHUBHAM?!

She ran towards him in relief. She reached him and hugged him.

Darshita: Oh my god, you're okay! I thought I lost you!

Shubham: I'm okay, Darshi... don't worry. sighs  That thing just threw me here I don't know why and then it ran away.

They stood like that for a moment, Darshita's head buried in his chest. She couldn't help but cry.

Shubham: Hey! Don't cry, I'm okay! See? I'm right here!

Darshita: Let's go back. The others are waiting for us.

Shubham: Of course... but first...

Darshita: Shubham? gasps 

But it was too late. In one swift motion, the Skin Stealer plunged a sharp, bony hand into Darshita's chest, directly into her heart.

Darshita: coughs blood Sh...Shubham...? blood spilling all over

Skin Stealer: Shubham's was never here.

Darshita: Why. . . agh it hurts fuck- Why shubham? N-no you're not him, he would never do such a thing to me, never. . . falls down

Skin Stealer: I am not hungry now. Or else I would eat you too, Lucky human.  dashes far away into the mist
