Part-01-Tangled life
Feriha couldn't sleep. The memory of Selene's chilling smile haunted her, and the unknown message on her phone replayed in her mind:
"You're getting too comfortable. Don't forget why you came back." 🤔
She paced her room, gripping the silver charm tightly.
Eric had insisted she try to rest, but her thoughts refused to quiet.
Part-02-A Discovery
The next morning, Feriha and Eric returned to the abandoned building at the edge of the city.
This time, they came prepared. Flashlights, gloves, a small bag of essentials ,ready for whatever Selene had planned. 💥
The corridor smelled of dust and damp concrete. Every step echoed like a warning.
Feriha stopped suddenly. Her eyes caught a faint line along the baseboard , almost invisible unless you looked closely.
"It's a seam," she whispered.
"Someone moved this recently." 😑
Eric crouched beside her, inspecting the wall. "Could be a hidden door. Or a panel. Either way, it's not part of the building's original structure."
Feriha's heart pounded. Could this be where the girl with the blue ribbon was kept?
Part-03-The Hidden Room
They pressed along the seam. At first, nothing happened. Then, with a soft click, a section of the wall shifted.
A door. 🚪
Cold air seeped out, carrying a metallic scent ; fear.
Feriha and Eric exchanged a glance.
"This is it," she whispered. "This has to be it."
Eric nodded. "Stay close. Don't make a sound."
The room was pitch black. Feriha flicked on her flashlight. 🔦
Inside, the walls were lined with drawings; sketches of children, faces with wide, terrified eyes. Some were crossed out. Some had notes beside them, in a small, neat handwriting:
"She forgot me."
"Feri will come."
"Not this time." 🕰
Feriha's stomach churned. The girl with the blue ribbon had been here. She could feel it ;the presence, the echo of a frightened child.
Part-04-A Glimpse of the Past
Then, near the back, she saw it ;a small, silver bracelet glinting under the flashlight.
Her breath caught. Her fingers trembled as she picked it up.🖐
The charm matched hers perfectly.
And then, a memory slammed into her mind ;clear, vivid, terrifying:
A little girl with a blue ribbon, crying in the dark corridor. 💠
Feriha's younger self, reaching out.
The words whispered:
"Feri… don't leave me."
Her chest tightened. The past and present collided.
"Eric…" she whispered. "She's here. She was here." 🧡
Before Eric could respond, a soft, deliberate clap echoed from the shadows.
A voice; smooth, chilling, undeniably Selene:😰
"Bravo, Feriha. You finally found your way back… but the question is, are you ready to pay for what you've forgotten?"
Feriha's hands clenched the bracelet. Her body trembled, not from fear, but from a rising determination.
"Yes," she whispered.
"I'm ready." 😣
