You're to proud to accept his offer, turning your head as a clear sign of your refusal. You see him shrugs his shoulders in the corner of your eyes.

"Suit yourself."

From the tone of his voice you feel that maybe you should have accept his offer, but it's too late now.

He leaves you alone, there's nothing but a aloneness with you this time. You feel terrible, scared in the empty room with no sounds around. You want to cry more but there are no tears left.

So you lay on the ground, hugging your knees to protect yourself from this nightmare. As you close your eyes, you wish to be somewhere else. At the place where you're loved and safe. You fall asleep. But the darkness is the only thing waiting for you. And then... nothing.

- THE END -
(Go back to Chapter 18)

I know you're proud, but in some situations your proud should be put aside to safe your own life.
