Avery's eyes strained to see through the darkness , her heart racing with every creak and groan of the old mansion . Julian's arms were wrapped tightly around her , his chest heaving with each breath .
As they stood there , frozen in fear , Avery felt the presence closing in around them . It was like a living , breathing entity , it's darkness seeping into her very soul .
Julian's voice was low and even , his words sending shivers down Avery's spine . " We need to get out of here ," he said . " Now ."
Avery nodded , her mind racing with the implications . What was happening ? Why was his presence targeting them ?
As they stumbled through the darkness , Avery felt Julian's hand grasp hers , his fingers intertwining with hers in a fierce grip .
They reached the front door , and Julian flung it open , revealing a night sky filled with stars . But as they stepped out into the cool night air , Avery felt the presence following them , it's darkness spreading like a stain across the landscape .
Avery's breath came in short gasps as they ran , Julian's hand pulling her through the darkness . They reached the safety of their car , and Julian slammed the door shut behind them , locking them in .
As they caught their breath , Avery turned to Julian , her eyes searching for answers . " What's happening ?" she asked .
Julian's expression was grim , his eyes burning with a fierce intensity . " We 're being hunted ," he said . " And I don't know why ."
Avery's heart skipped a beat as she processed Julian's words . They were in grave danger , and they didn't even know who or what was after them .
As they sat there , locked in the safety of their car , Avery felt the presence closing in around them , it's darkness seeping into her very soul.
They were running out of time .
