Chapter 64: Why are you here?

Ana

Evelyn took Ana to a hidden room behind the store.

This room had walls adorned in rich, deep purples and velvety drapes that hung like heavy curtains. A sense of anticipation hung in the air, mingling with the faint scent of incense that perpetually wafted through the room. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows upon the countless trinkets and curiosities that lined every available surface.

Ana had never seen an actual candle before today. Like a moth drawn to a flame she walked towards the blazing orange flame and reached out her hands towards the flame but Evekyn stopped her mid-way as she grabbed Ana's hand.

"Don't touch anything," Evelyn warned.
