Keeran's body almost froze, but she quickly snapped out of it, and she ran towards the bed. Her room was small, and there was no way to find a good hiding spot.
She covered her mouth with her trembling hand and closed her eyes.
The door then opened with a loud bang. Keeran's body stiffened further at the shock, and she bit her palm to suppress the fear that was about to escape her mouth.
"Someone's here?"
"I don't know. But all the guides are said to be inside their room."
"Hah. Association fuckers hogged all the guides. Damn them."
Keeran knew that this was only delaying the inevitable. Her room was too easy to search. Should she have jumped in the window earlier? But there was no way to survive the fall at this height.
The fight outside was drowned out by the voices and screams inside the building. Keeran could even hear the fighting next door.
When their footsteps neared, Keeran's body froze. Then they paused.
