The Midnight Visitor 🌙 Chapter Six

Chapter Six: A Race Against Shadows

Mia dashed toward the glowing white door, her heart pounding in her chest. The black cat clung tightly to her shoulder, its glowing eyes full of fierce determination. Behind her, the dark figure gave chase, its shadowy hand stretching unnaturally toward her as the walls twisted and warped, trying to trap her within the cabin’s sinister grasp.

The glowing symbols pulsed violently, casting wild shadows that flickered in green and red hues. The mist thickened, swirling around her legs, threatening to pull her down. Mia could feel the darkness closing in, the door just inches away—but the figure’s presence was stronger, almost upon her.

With every ounce of courage, Mia reached forward. Could she escape in time?
