My feet was quivering while sitting on the dinning table. I was trembling with fear after getting that text. It freaked me out. What did it mean? And I couldn't even do anything as it was blocked.

I could see mom giving me some stares across the table. After some moment,

Anyway, as I ran I looked at the surroundings, suddenly I stopped seeing a figure that appeared before my eyes, staring at me. The same figure from earlier. But this time I was really scared.
