Nadia's POV

We are already near home. Tyla and I had each other for safety along the way.

It's just a short walk left.

I hear ruffles among the fallen leaves on the earth. What animal could be walking around at almost midnight?

A though comes to my head, but I immediately shun it. The darkest thoughts come at the darkest hours.

The ruffles become closer, but I still can't make out what it is as there is no distinct or peculiar sound.

A hand grabs my mouth from the back, rendering me mute.

I still can't see who it is, but I start throwing blind punches.

It's someone, definitely....
