Chapter 2: Dead End

"Tell her the truth Jin, What are you waiting for? Tell her... Tell everyone!" 

Tension grew in Jin's face and limbs. His breaths in gasps and his heart is hammering inside my chest. All his fears are tumbling out unchecked by his brain, he's in some kind of mental free-fall, unable to analyze things or assess risk.

Everyone looked at him, whispers dominating the atmosphere. Soon, silence took over, but the hard stares didn't stop.

Jin's roar filled the hall, and the serenity of silence surrendered to the loud scream.

"Stay away from us!" He commanded, pulling out a knife from his pocket "None of you... none of you should come any close!"

Despite the ambient temperature, his skin is icy, all blood diverted to core organs. He noticed his feet and hands tremble, his legs twitched. Sweat trickles down his neck. He gripped Lijuan tightly; the knife edging to her neck as he moved back, more and more terrified.
