The truth [1]

I followed her quietly from behind. 

In the quiet corridors, she walked towards her room. In the meantime, I kept my breath in check while keeping enough distance between the two of us. 

She couldn't see me nor could she hear me, but one could never be too certain. 

I felt my heart press tightly as I followed quietly from behind. 

Time seemed to stretch endlessly as I became oblivious to everything around me, my focus fixed on her back. It was therefore a surprise for me to find her stopping right before Kiera's room as she stopped and looked around. 

For a moment, I thought our gazes met and my entire body tensed. 

Thankfully, it was only for a brief moment as her gaze moved past me, and she finally opened the door and entered. 

Clank—

It all grew quiet then. 

Suffocatingly so as I cautiously approached the doors to Kiera's room.
