Silence envelopeds us, and so does confusion.
This...this doesn't make sense. I...I can still smell her but...where...
I step closer and push apart the clothing placed on hangers.
Though I initially see nothing, my eyes widened when I see a minute line cut across the back of the wardrobe.
I at once reach out for it, but I'm unable to grab anything.
Extending my claws, I dig them into the line. Getting a small grip, I gently pull on the line.
*CREAK*
I find this to be a hidden door of sorts. And when I pull it all the way open, I gasp when I see her.
She lies cramped in a small space behind the wardrobe.
"Caroline." I call out as I reach my arms for her.
I pull her out of the cramped space and hold her close. Though her body is warm, my heart skips several beats when I don't hear anything at all.
Placing my ear on her chest, I listen in while praying with all my heart.
A second passes.
Two seconds pass.
Three seconds.
Dammit Caroline, don't do this.
*THUMP*
