Chapter 64: Shadows of Fear
After Holly's loss, the warren was cloaked in a somber quiet, but for Fiver, the shadows felt even deeper. The visions came back—stronger and darker than ever. Each time he closed his eyes, he was pulled into a whirlwind of bleak images: scattered corpses, relentless soldiers, and the sound of screams echoing in hollow spaces. Every vision seemed sharper, pressing on his mind, each detail carved with an agonizing clarity.
Fiver's anxiety tightened in his chest, a constant weight that wouldn't leave. Every noise around him felt amplified, every shadow a lurking threat. He tried to steady his breath, but each time he inhaled, memories of his vision gripped him harder. The faces he saw—the ones he loved—haunted him, their expressions twisted in fear or frozen in final moments.
As the night stretched on, Fiver wandered outside alone, hoping the cold air might ease the knots inside him. But the visions were relentless, flickering through his mind like ghosts. He gripped his chest, feeling his heartbeat race faster than ever, each pulse like a drumbeat of panic.
Hazel, noticing Fiver's distress, quietly came to his side, placing a reassuring paw on his shoulder. "It's okay, Fiver," he said softly. "We're here. Whatever you're seeing, you're not facing it alone." But despite Hazel's comforting words, Fiver's fears lingered, his mind plagued with dark visions of a future he couldn't escape.
