In to the mountains

I gulped my saliva as a creepy sound of the breeze entered my ears while my eyes stared into the endless chasm of the cliff.

My heart rate sped up when I saw that darkness in front of me. A mouthful of warm air escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them again to see the lofty peaks in front of me.

'What the fuck was I thinking?'

I could still hear the breeze whistling while my gaze was fixed on the peaks. Honestly, I was in some sort of reverie when I left the house of Deliah. I took a deep breath to calm down my unsettled heart.

"Eve, why didn't you wake me up?" I asked Eve.

But, there was a pin-drop silence, and I heard nothing from her for a while.

"Eve?" I called her out again but still didn't get any response from her.
