Chapter 38: vampire realm
Vampire Realm – Mountains Near the Crimsonveil Clan
The cold wind howled through the jagged peaks, swirling around a lone boulder where an unconscious girl lay slumped, her golden hair cascading like a silk curtain across her dirt-streaked face.
Zara groaned as her fingers twitched against the rocky surface.
"Aghhh..."
Her eyes fluttered open, squinting against the crimson-hued sky above. Pain hammered in her skull, like something was trying to claw its way out from within. She clutched her head with both hands, groaning in agony.
"Fluff! Come out!" she yelled, her voice hoarse—but no sound echoed back. The wind carried her cry into the desolate air, swallowed by silence.
"Fluff...?" Her voice cracked, a tremble of fear hiding behind her voice
Still nothing.
Zara gritted her teeth as the pain finally began to dull, her breaths shallow. She took in her surroundings—the unfamiliar blood-red sky, the cold, looming cliffs, and the eerie silence that filled the mountains.
"...This place isn’t anywhere near home," she muttered. "Where... am I?"
With trembling fingers, she called out weakly, "Sign in, Fluff."
