Chapter 1 : The Barking In The Forest 

The rain fell heavily as Navya walked along the lonely road.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6inUhZhbx

Thunder rumbled above her head.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Z6XcJXqZ

She looked around nervously. Tall trees surrounded the road, their branches twisting like giant claws against the dark sky.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZN320Oibn

"This storm is getting worse," she whispered.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAn7dJpehd

Suddenly—

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR7yH9rJBI

BARK! BARK! BARK!

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ogF4HH9b

A dog barked somewhere inside the forest.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcznyHsQF7

Navya stopped.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHMSPdutG3

The sound came again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB6Y0F8q2k

BARK! BARK!

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzWH8VIkP

It sounded desperate, almost like a warning.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eCNbAp17Y

She stepped closer to the trees.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X2ra40n6X

"Who's there?" she called.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNL7VqJFI7

The barking continued.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FdeVApRY

Gathering her courage, Navya walked into the forest.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhA5c1CSfu

The moment she crossed between the trees, the barking stopped.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1DmPSyhA

Silence.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKKI5rMp0

Complete silence.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IuXEnk3CR

Even the wind seemed to disappear.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZvDlGWZJ

A cold shiver ran down her spine.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrORwmKvNlh

Then she saw something glowing between the trees.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOS3kTQyvt

Light.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWl4gTsvLa

A building stood deep inside the forest.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXtNYqD82t

An old hotel.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI31PpWLa4h

Warm yellow lights shone from its windows.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSnpMEwGBT

Relieved, Navya hurried toward it.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhDooTqvK

The wooden door slowly opened before she could knock.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzPC3LfwIR

A tall man stood there, smiling.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55fFtE2OwI

"Welcome," he said.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpmrvmmHDK

His smile was friendly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOKmksgEEP

But his eyes looked strangely empty.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMATrfOtO

Behind him, several people sat in the hotel lobby.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkYwiOmRlP

Every one of them turned to look at Navya at exactly the same moment.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAXOpvz05H

And every one of them smiled.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWhd2iVYGo

The same smile.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH483TvwEuu

The exact same smile.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5HDEP0L28

Navya suddenly wished she had stayed outside in the storm.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xZdnNSzbP
