The moment the ruthless stage 5 awakened's words reached Creed, a strange chill ran down his spine, a feeling so distinct that he almost physically recoiled.
He felt a threat to his life!
It wasn't a tangible threat, not yet, but something deep within him was screaming that he was in trouble. Serious trouble.
And then he noticed it.
The glances.
At first, it was subtle. A few looks here and there, a slight hesitation before someone spoke, the way some members of the group shifted uncomfortably.
But soon, it became more obvious. The way people were avoiding his gaze, the way a few of them were staring directly at him, the unspoken words passing between them as if a decision had already been made.
Wait.
Creed's heart skipped a beat.
No way!
Were they seriously—?
'Oh, hell no,' he thought, his blood running cold. 'Don't tell me… I'm the one they're planning to sacrifice?'
