Chapter 1
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Thalassa jumped, landing on her butt and in total shock
She was at her old family home in the countryside, an old house surrounded by stacks of firewood and overgrown weeds. The room was pitch black, and she could hardly see a thing
Thalassa had been scared of the dark since she was a kid. Trying to keep her fear at bay, she fumbled her way towards the door, banging on it with all her might 1s anyone there? Open the door!”
All she could hear was the sound of the rain pouring down outside. No other sound. No response. She had come to fetch some firewood and had somehow ended up getting locked in!
The old house was completely sealed off with walls on all sides. The roof tiles were old and worn out, some even falling off from time to time. There was only one wooden door to get out, but try as she might, she just couldn’t push it open.
“Kaboom. “Another clap of thunder, splitting the sky.
“Thud” Suddenly, something fell from above, crashing through the roof, causing a loud noise.
“Ahhi Thalassa screamed in fright.
The roof now had a gaping hole, and the rain was pouring in, lighting up the dark room with every flash of lightning.
Thalassa watched in horror as a man lay on the ground. It was him who had fallen through the roof! From the way he was curled up, it was clear he was in
pain
“Are you okay?” she asked, keeping her distance.
The man didn’t respond. Had he died?
Thalassa’s heart started to race. She slowly moved closer, trying to check if the man was breathing. All of a sudden, the man grabbed her hand.
