Chapter Ten

I bolted, my legs barely holding me up as I stumbled down the hallway. Each breath burned my throat—sharp and desperate—but the sound behind me sent chills down my spine. The slow, deliberate scraping of claws against the walls. He was in no hurry—he didn’t need to be. His movements had the confidence of something that knew exactly how this would end.

I skidded into the living room, my heart thudding against my ribs. I pressed into a corner, hoping to disappear into the shadows, but deep down, I knew it wouldn’t matter.

The footsteps grew louder, heavier with each step. He wasn’t rushing. He was savoring it, dragging it out like a sadistic game. My stomach churned with dread, and I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the terror gripping my body. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears.

But even with my eyes shut, I knew he had found me. It was like he could smell my fear, could sense exactly where I was huddled in the corner. He was coming closer—I could feel it in the thick, suffocating air. I braced myself, waiting for the attack, but it never came.

Cautiously, I cracked my eyes open, just a sliver, and what I saw stopped my heart.

The Creeper knelt in front of me, his glowing yellow eyes fixated on me with a strange curiosity. His towering form cast a shadow over everything. I was trembling, my body betraying me with uncontrollable shakes. If he could smell fear, like Alex had said, I was drenched in it.

He inched forward, his gaze never leaving mine. Then, with deliberate slowness, he opened his mouth. My breath hitched as a long, forked tongue slid out. Cold dread shot through me. He leaned in, his tongue reaching out to graze my face, leaving a wet, icy trail.

I braced for whatever horror was coming, but instead of attacking, he pulled back. I felt the shift in the air as he moved away, as if he was… waiting, watching me. Testing me.

A surge of panic raced through my veins. My body reacted before my mind could catch up. The instinct to do something, anything, to break the suffocating tension took over. My hand fumbled around, desperate to grab something—anything. It landed on the slipper on my right foot, my fingers curling around the soft leather. Without thinking, I took it off and hurled it at him.

It was a reflex—an act of sheer, desperate fear. But the second it left my hand, I realized how ridiculous it was. This wasn’t some stray dog I could scare off with a shoe. He wasn’t some tiny animal that would flinch at my slipper. He was a creature—a monster. Immense, terrifying, and entirely unbothered by the feeble attempt.

The slipper hit his shoulder with a dull thud, barely making an impact. For a moment, he stilled, his glowing yellow eyes narrowing as he looked down at the harmless thing I had thrown at him. I held my breath, heart racing, as he reached down and picked it up.
