The senior couldn't see Ciara clearly.
Though the whirlwind had subsided, the steam was thicker around her. This was no surprise since the heat would be enough to burn her skin and knock her unconscious.
The senior smiled at the sight before him. He saw a silhouette of Ciara and noticed she was still standing upright.
"Oh? Still standing? Impressive."
There was silence after his remark. Other than the hissing sounds of steam and the cool night wind fighting the heat in the area, no sound was heard.
"Let me end this for you," He said, once again igniting his fists with flames.
>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHHVWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM<
The wind began returning as she yelled, and the vibrations it caused made everyone who witnessed this frightened.
Realizing this, Ciara quickly cautioned herself, calming the winds down once more. Then she fell silent.
She then turned to her attackers. They turned their faces away from her and looked to the ground. Sweat dripped from their body, their breathing pattern was disorderly, and their hearts raced out of fear.
"Go..." Ciara muttered.
They looked at themselves and were hesitant to move, unsure of what they had heard.
"I said GO! Now!" Ciara raised her voice.
This time, they hurriedly stood, carried their fallen comrade, and skittered away like rats.
"Haa... haa..." Ciara took a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling.
She had no idea what had just happened... But she was too tired to think of that at the moment. What she wanted at that moment... Was rest.
And so slowly and steadily, she made her way to her room, all alone in the dead of night, leaving the havoc she had caused behind her.
*******************************
"Interesting..." A voice let out in the darkness.
The pursed lips of the silhouette curled up in a wide grin, displaying a set of white teeth. Its watchful, obsessive eyes followed Ciara as she walked all alone.
A part of the figure wanted to lunge at the clearly distraught girl, however, it managed to restrain itself.
"No... not yet..." The deep voice slowly came forth.
Ciara was not 'ripe' yet.
Taking her out in such a way had no taste. It would be no fun at all.
"There's still something only I have to do. But do not fret so much, Ciara. We'll meet soon!" The shadow's grin widened even more.
It remained hidden, watching as Ciara ventured within her dorm, refusing to even blink for a second.
"Hehehehehe... Hehehehe" It laughed sickly, licking its lips with vigor and anticipation.
"Soon... very soon..."
Finally, a dim light shone in the silhouette's location, causing it to vanish into thin air.
The darkness masked most of the mysterious being's presence, though not entirely.
Because... unknown to both Ciara and the stalker, a third person was present, watching everything unfold from a safe distance.
His calm, unfettered gaze observed the events that had occurred, taking them into cognizance.
Without letting out even a single sound, he also vanished into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
