the Return to Ravens Manor

chapter 8 part 8

The two girls sat in silence, the adrenaline of their escape slowly giving way to a wave of exhaustion. The events of the past night replayed in their minds, each moment more terrifying than the last.

Sarah couldn't shake the image of the cultists' faces, twisted in rage as they pursued them through the dimly lit corridors of the abandoned warehouse. The memory of their screams and the sound of their footsteps echoing through the room sent shivers down her spine.

Rachel, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about the close call they had with the cultists as they made their daring escape. The fear that gripped her in that moment was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting a warm golden glow on the forest floor, the girls finally found the strength to pick themselves up and continue their journey. They knew they couldn't stay in one place for too long, not when the cultists were hot on their trail.

They walked in silence, the only sound the crunch of leaves beneath their feet and the occasional rustle of branches in the wind. The forest seemed to stretch on forever, its towering trees casting long shadows that seemed to watch their every move.

Suddenly, a loud crack echoed through the forest, causing both girls to jump in fear. They turned to see a figure emerging from the shadows, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

We finally found you, the man sneered, his voice sending chills down their spines. 

Sarah and Rachel backed away slowly, their hearts pounding in their chests. They knew they were trapped, with nowhere to run.

But just as the man took a step forward, a sudden roar filled the air. A large creature emerged from the underbrush, its fur bristling with fury as it bared its teeth at the man.

The man's eyes widened in fear, his bravado faltering as he stumbled backward. Without a second thought, Sarah and Rachel seized the opportunity to run, the creature's roar echoing behind them as they disappeared into the safety of the forest once more.

As they ran, Sarah couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards the mysterious creature that had saved them. She knew they would never forget the terror of that night, but she also knew that they had a chance to start anew, far away from the clutches of the cultists.

As the sun set on the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Sarah and Rachel finally found refuge in a small clearing deep in the heart of the forest. They huddled together, their hearts still racing from the events of the day, but a glimmer of hope shining in their eyes.
