THE SHADOW BOOK OF DEMONS: NEAR THE END OF DAYS

CHAPTER 16: THOSE WHICH HIDE IN THE DARK

We've been walking for quite a long time now.

I continuously have been throwing glances to our backs, feeling uneasy.

I accidentally took more steps than intended, and stepped on the back of Satan's shoes, making him trip and throw an annoyed look back.

Instead of me, Satan glared at the one laughing behind me.

Satan gritted his teeth and looked down at me.

"Pamy... That's the fourth time you'd step on my shoes... Didn't I instruct you to remain in the middle of our line? Have you been paying attention to where you've been walking?"

I looked down and back up at Satan. He was right though; I haven't been paying attention to my front ever since I got those goosebumps.

I threw a small smile and answered,

"I... I'm really sorry... My bad... I just feel a little bit... worried..."

Solomon came up to us.

"Worried about not going back? Or, perhaps..."

I quickly cleared up their doubts and worries.

"I just noticed... That the fires in the part we've left behind from the hall, have been blown out..."

Solomon tilted his head and looked back.

"Now that you mention it, it's been getting darker as the time we've been walking passes... I've also been having a weird feeling of being watched..."

Satan added,

"That's what I've been feeling ever since we've arrived here as well... We better look for a way out of here as soon as possible, after we get the information we need of course."

I commented,

"And what if danger comes to us before we even get the chance to retrieve whatever we are here for?"

Satan rolled his eyes and chuckled.
