~Celina~The deeper we ventured into the ruins, the more uncomfortable I became. A strange sensation crawled beneath my skin like I was being watched. I tightened my grip on Derek's hand instinctively. Immediately his thumb brushed across my knuckles in a silent reassurance. The simple gesture calmed me slightly.Ahead of us, Jonathan continued following whatever trace he had discovered. His movements were cautious and he looked more like a hunter now than a clan leader.The narrow passage eventually widened into another tunnel. The air smelled damp and I felt Mia stirring uneasily.‘I don't like this place,’ she muttered.‘Neither do I.’The further we walked, the stronger the feeling became.
