Echoes of Anya Chapter: The Threat

Around 8 PM

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Sits frozen on her couch, the ominous text message casting a long shadow over her triumph. Fear gnaws at her, a chilling reminder that Veer is not easily defeated.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Tries to rationalize the threat. Is it just a scare tactic? Or something more sinister?)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Her mind races, replaying the events of the past few days. Could someone have seen her with Maya? Or at the clock tower?)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Doubts creep in. Is she putting herself and those around her in danger? Rohan, Maya, even Riya…)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Decides to call Maya, needing to share the threat and seek reassurance.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(The phone rings, but Maya doesn't answer. Anika's anxiety grows with each unanswered tone.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Leaves a message, her voice trembling slightly.) Maya, it's Anika. Call me back as soon as you can. It's important.

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Paces her apartment, the silence amplifying her fear. She checks her phone constantly, hoping for a response.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Decides to call Rohan, needing someone to talk to, someone to ground her.)

𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝

(Answers on the first ring, his voice filled with concern.) Anika? Is everything okay?

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Tries to explain the situation, the threatening message, her growing fear. Rohan listens patiently, his voice a calming presence.)

𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝

(Offers words of comfort and support, reminding Anika that she's not alone in this fight.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Feels a wave of gratitude for Rohan's friendship. He's a constant in her chaotic world.)

𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝

(Suggests that Anika stay at his place for the night, just to be safe. Anika hesitates, but eventually agrees.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Packs a small bag, her mind still racing. She can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Leaves her apartment, the hallway dark and silent. She checks her phone one last time, still no response from Maya.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Arrives at Rohan's apartment, the familiar space offering a sense of security. Rohan greets her with a warm hug, his presence a comforting anchor.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Spends the night at Rohan's, tossing and turning in the guest bed. Sleep eludes her, her mind haunted by the threat and the unanswered questions.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Gets up and goes to the window, gazing out at the city lights. She feels a deep sense of unease, a premonition that something bad is about to happen.)

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Inner monologue) I need to be strong. I need to be prepared for anything.

𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

(Closes her eyes, trying to find some peace in the darkness. She clutches the silver locket, its cool touch a reminder of Anya and her unfinished quest.)
