As soon as a hand touched her shoulder, the world suddenly tilted.
A sharp, ringing sound gradually grew louder inside her ears, along with her senses becoming hyper-sensitive. She could hear her own breaths loudly and feel her pounding heart that was rapidly picking up pace.
Just seconds ago, she was relieved to walk past the Red Prince and then the gate.
Now, her world crumbled.
She looked ahead at the warehouse gate.
Behind it was her safe haven. Just a hundred yards away. Yet it felt so out of reach right now.
Despite her rigid muscles, she forced her body to turn and flashed a big smile as if somehow the Red Prince was able to see through her mask. She wanted to run or fight her way out right now, but she kept her cool.
"Yes? Is there something wrong?" She asked, though her voice was slightly trembling.
Even in this panic haze, her eyes focused on the Red Prince's eyes.
Reading his mind through them.
