Samantha was just about to speak when Elain stepped into the mouth of the cave. 

Samantha found herself momentarily speechless before she eventually said, “Elain, don’t go in there. That cave looks so ceric. Please come back!” 

“Elain?” 

Elain didn’t bother to look back, her determination unwavering as she ventured deeper into the shadows. 

Samantha, grappling with the unsettling remains she clutched in her hand, felt a headache brewing. Elain’s courage was undeniably impressive, but it sparked a flicker of dread in Samantha’s heart. 

“Ah!” 

The moment Elain crossed the threshold, a terrified scream escaped her lips, echoing through the stillness. 

Samantha froze at the cave’s entrance, uncertainty gripping her. She hesitated, her mind racing with worry. What could be happening inside? Given that Elain was terrified, whatever lay within must be horrifying beyond belief. 

Could the killer be lurking in there? 

The thought pierced Samantha’s mind, driving her to hastily conceal the remains she held. Bending down, she grabbed a thicker branch from the forest floor, its rough texture grounding her. 

Pulling out her phone, she flicked on the flashlight, scanning her surroundings. The beam cut through the darkness, revealing nothing but the ominous shadows that danced along the cave walls. Elain was nowhere in sight. 

Just as Samantha began to piece together her thoughts, a sharp pain erupted at the back of her head. She collapsed onto the cold ground, darkness enveloping her once more. 

Everything had transpired far too swiftly for her to react. 

When Samantha regained consciousness, the night had fully descended, wrapping the world in a shroud of inky blackness. The heavy, metallic scent of blood filled the air, a grim reminder of the danger that loomed. As her head throbbed painfully, she strained to make sense of her surroundings. 

Is this a cave? 

Upon closer inspection, it appeared less like a natural formation and more like a sinister trap. 

She found herself tightly bound, her body curled up uncomfortably on the unforgiving ground. 

Indeed, her rebirth had sent ripples through reality, and now the murderer, who was never supposed to be here, had somehow materialized. 

Samantha surveyed the area again, her heart sinking as she noticed Elain, tied up and utterly motionless

nearby. The killer, however, was conspicuously absent. Rolling her body across the cold earth, Samantha inched closer to Elain, urgency coursing through her veins. 

“Elain…” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Elain, wake up.” 

“Elain!” 

But Elain lay still, her body silent and restrained. Fear gripped Samantha; she worried that raising her voice might alert the murderer. Summoning all her courage, she tried again, her voice barely above a whisper. “Elain, please, wake up.” 

“Elain!” 

Finally, Elain stirred, her eyes fluttering open. Confusion washed over her face as she focused on Samantha. “Why am I here?” she asked, bewildered. 

“You don’t remember?” 

Samantha felt a knot of confusion tighten in her chest. Just before she had lost consciousness, Elain had screamed. How could she not recall how they had ended up in this predicament?
