Crystal Magic

I reached a dead end.

I slowed down and stopped. The only sound I could hear was my rapid heart beating in my chest. I turned around to see-

No one.

Where was he? Had he given up? Had I been imagining all this?

I froze.

It was nearly pitch black in this narrow backstreet but a tiny movement had caught my eye. Could it- My thoughts were interrupted as the man sprinted towards me and covered my mouth with a weird smelling cloth. I tried to break free but he was too strong.

"Good girl..."

My nose filled with a smell that was like nothing I smelt before. It made me feel so relaxed despite how scared I was. I realized how tired I was. My eyelids got heavier... and heavier...

Darkness.
