Round 448

The walls' breathing pattern shifts abruptly—matching Silra's own heartbeat now instead of Abby's. The thrumming rhythm fills the narrow space, each pulse seeming to resonate through both their bodies simultaneously. As Silra's lips brush against mine, her eyes flash with a mix of urgency and desperation. "We need to get out of here," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the thrumming hum. The hidden compartment in the floor creaks open, revealing a narrow tunnel that stretches into darkness. Silra's grip on my face tightens, her fingers digging into my skin as she pulls me close.
