You were the one who killed them

Humanity's inherent fear of darkness was the Unknown. When one didn't know anything and the fear of death was constant, it tended to turn uneasy. She knew there would be something coming for her from the darkness but didn't know what it was or why it was targeting her. Elijah became a ghost probably haunting her and he would come back again.

Replaying the events of the other night, her face turned increasingly pale. The fact that she tried to strangle him who was dead long ago still buzzed her. She never thought she would be able to do something like that. However, there was something strange in his expression. It was as if he saw a monster while he was the monster. She could remember it because when she was running away, she glanced at him often, looking at his silhouette becoming smaller the greater the distance she progressed. Furthermore, the shadows didn't look like they swarmed around her. It was the opposite, when Elijah didn't interfere, they stayed away.
