Pandora's Box

"

Only then does my shocked brain register that Jaden is holding a knife between his fingers.

Shit.

My face drains of color, and I almost want to rub my eyes to make sure I'm seeing correctly. Only one thought spins through my head.

Run, run, run.

Jaden looks at me and releases the snake. The dead body hits the ground, and dark blood pours from where its head was cut off.

RUN!

I break into a run, my brain set on "flight or fight mode." I know I probably won't get far, but that doesn't stop me. On the contrary, it motivates me. I pick up even more speed, putting my phone in my pocket so I don't drop it.

Run, run, Pandora! Even the wind seems to whisper to me.

I've gone mad. Sighs escape my lips, and unfortunately, I trip over something. I tumble and my forehead hits a hard surface. Everything goes dark, and before I lose consciousness, the only thing I register is the howling wind and a voice saying:

"You'll learn soon how you should behave".

"

They met when they were children. Even then he had that crude look on his face.

He's evil.

Evil.

In the following years, he treats her like a younger sister and terrorizes her with many bad jokes.

He likes it when she's afraid of him.

But one evening he sees her with different eyes and decides he wants her only for himself.

Pandora's life takes a dark turn when her brother's best friend, Jaden, leads her into an abandoned asylum. What begins as a cruel joke soon spirals into an obsession.

Soon, they learn what happens when you fuck with fate.
