THE MONSTER INSIDE THE ROSE MANSION

ARGENT'S whole body was shaking. This was not just a simple fear. This kind of suffocation, it's burried deep within her. As if it was embedded in her very soul. There was an alarm going off inside her head, telling her to run, urging her to get out of this place. But even that, she couldn't do. Because her whole body was immobilized by fear.

She looked down at her trembling hands and started to laugh at her own cowardice. She couldn't believe that there would come a time when she would cower in fear. Like a shivering mouse afraid that the cat would come and eat her at any second. Argent didn't even know where this fear came from. It's like the moment she saw this place, a trigger inside her was pushed and this overwhelming fear just engulfed her.
