the flying bird

Valerie took steps further towards the trapped shadow who was trying to break free. She wasn't sure what she should do in this condition. Would confronting an enemy alone was a good idea.

But they would have just reached there. If she would contact them, everyone would panic. And then they would surely not let her come back here.

Taking a deep breath she mustered her courage and walked further. Standing in front of the struggling figure, she smirked.

The figure was still transparent, no face, nobody, just a layer of water covering it to show an image of the figure.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" she asked the silhouette which was struggling to break free.

Valerie tilted her head at its silence. Not sure whether it was not speaking or couldn't speak.

"I asked who you are?" she spoke again with a pitch higher than before.

But the shadow was still silent, even its struggles were also coming to a halt.
