Nisha's Point of View

"Greetings, young lady. Get up," I heard a gentle voice as I opened my eyes to see a pair of concerned eyes staring at me. It took me a few minutes to gather myself before finally looking away and slowly standing up. I felt dizzy and disoriented, not entirely sure what had happened to me. Did I hear a voice yesterday? I couldn't be sure if it was real or just my imagination, but the man's straightforward words now added to the confusion.

"The time has come for us to get together."

Those were the words I heard before I passed out yesterday, spoken by a voice that sounded strangely familiar. But I couldn't find a place where I had heard it before.

As I ventured outside for a walk, I was startled by a distressing sight. Numerous corpses lay around, and the place was filled with blood. What shocked me even more was that I could feel their pain and hear their faint pulses. They were struggling to survive, but there was nothing I could do to help them. The overwhelming emotions and gruesome scene became too much for me to bear, and I lost consciousness once again, my head spinning.

The mysteries and horrors surrounding this university seemed to grow with each passing moment, leaving me feeling even more lost and desperate for answers. I knew that I had to uncover the truth behind these haunting experiences, but the path ahead seemed increasingly treacherous and uncertain.

The nightmare had left me feeling uneasy and disoriented as I abruptly woke up. It was a recurring dream that always gave me goosebumps and made me question my sanity. The fear it instilled in me was overwhelming, and the haunting images of those who had died in vain weighed heavily on my mind. I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to do something to make amends, but I had no idea where to start or how to do it.

Just as I was lost in deep thoughts, loud knocks on the door jolted me back to reality. I sighed, feeling a bit irritated, but I knew I couldn't complain about it. Nathalie was taking me on a tour of the campus, and I hoped to gather more information about the various locations within the university.

Reluctantly, I stood up and approached the door. As I opened it, I was met with a frown on my face. Shawn was standing right in front of the door. I couldn't help but wonder why he was here and what his purpose was in seeking me out at this moment. The mysterious events of the past days had left me on edge, and Shawn's appearance only added to my growing list of questions and uncertainties.

"Fix yourself so we can eat, and then we'll go exploring later," Shawn stated. I was about to respond, but he turned his back and walked back to the kitchen. Frustrated, I stomped my legs, annoyed by his behavior. What was his problem? But I knew I had no choice but to follow his instructions, even if he seemed like a jerk.

After taking some time to freshen up, I headed straight to the kitchen. Shawn was sitting there, calmly reading a newspaper while waiting for me. I didn't want to keep him waiting any longer, fearing he might get irritated. On the table, I noticed the food was already prepared: a tuna sandwich, milk, pineapple, egg, and bacon. Despite feeling hungry, I didn't show it to him.

"What happened to the rest of them?" I asked, noticing that he was still focused on the newspaper, causing my brow to furrow.

"They're on a mission," he responded coldly.

I raised my brow in response to what I heard. A mission? Could it be connected to the creature that escapes after the failed experiment? If so, then the group they're a part of is useless and probably responsible for the problems in Ottawa City, as I had already suspected. But who else could be involved in this assassination plot?
