Chapter 207: Who Are You?

Chapter 207
~Zara’s POV~
The hum of the engine filled the silence of the car as I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles white from the pressure.
The city lights faded in the rearview mirror, replaced by the dim glow of the moon casting shadows on the empty highway.
My heart pounded in sync with the rhythmic thrum of the tyres against the road, but it wasn’t fear coursing through me—it was determination.
For the first time since my rebirth, I realized there was a reason I had been brought back. This wasn’t just chance or blind fate. Someone had a hand in this, and I needed to know why.
As the forest loomed closer, I slowed the car and pulled over onto the gravel shoulder. The headlights illuminated the edge of the dense woods, the trees standing tall and foreboding like silent sentinels guarding secrets long buried.
I stepped out, the cool night air brushing against my skin as I shut the door behind me. Leaves crunched underfoot as I walked toward the path etched into my memory, the soft rustle of the wind in the trees my only companion.
The farther I went, the darker it grew. The canopy of leaves above blocked out the moonlight, and the once-familiar route took on an eerie quality. My breaths came quicker, my pulse racing as I reached the clearing.
There it was.
