Creak—!
The floor creaked under Joanna's feet as she stepped into the room.
Instantly, her gaze swept across the room, her body alert as she held tightly onto her daggers. Her eyes continued to scan the place in hopes of finding the anomaly or whatever had been causing trouble for her.
'See what happens once I find you.'
Joanna didn't quite know what Ariel had done to her, but at this very moment, the only thing she wanted to do was find the anomaly and tear it to pieces.
'...For everything that you put me through, I'll make sure to tear you apart.'
But—
Scanning the room, the first thing that Joanna noticed was the open window by the far end, the curtains billowing slightly under the cold breeze. Instantly, her steps paused as Ariel entered the room right after.
"It ran away?"
Joanna continued to stare at the window, her face blank. Then, scanning the place once more, she clenched her teeth.
"...It seems that way."
