Chapter 131: The Trapped

Emily's heart was racing as she stared at the figure standing in the entrance of the cavernous space.

 Its eyes glowed like embers, and she could feel its gaze burning into her soul.

"Ash, we have to get out of here," Emily whispered, her eyes fixed on the figure.

Ash nodded, their hand on the grip of their pistol. "I know. Let's move."

But as they turned to run, Emily realized that they were surrounded. 

The figure had been joined by others, their eyes all glowing with the same otherworldly light.

"We're trapped," Cole muttered, his rifle at the ready.

Raine's eyes were wide with fear. "What are these things?"

Ash's expression was grim. "I don't know, but we need to get out of here. Now."

The figures began to move towards them, their eyes fixed on Emily and her team.

 Emily could feel their gaze like a physical force, pushing her back.
