âSweetheart, watch out!â Ivyâs anxious voice broke through my thoughts.
She focused on the grass ahead.
âSomethingâs off with the grass.
It looks like thereâs something hidden within.
â
I nodded, responding, âI got it.
Iâll check.
â
To avoid detection, I held my breath intentionally as I stealthily moved towards the peculiar grass.
Just as I parted the grass to sneak a peek at what was happening, a slender, dark figure darted in front of me in a flash.
My eyes narrowed in an instant.
What in the world was this?
The speed of the dark figure was extraordinary.
Ordinary people couldnât move with such speed, almost as if propelled by a rocket.
Moreover, the black figure moved with stealth, behaving as though it had committed some wrongdoing and was desperate to remain undetected.
The situation grew increasingly suspicious with each passing moment.
A frown creased my brow as I yearned to pursue and unravel the mystery.
The black figure moved with such incredible speed that I couldnât even catch a glimpse of it, let alone keep up with its movements.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished into thin air!
I gazed in the direction where the black figure had vanished, my brow furrowing as I sank into deep contemplation.
âIvy, did you see how fast it moved? Itâs ridiculous.
â
Ivy nodded solemnly, expressing her agreement.
âYouâre right.
It moves too swiftly to be human.
Itâs beyond normal.
â
Despite its speed, I refused to relent.
Raising my leg, I aimed to pursue its path.
âah!â
Suddenly, Ivyâs sharp scream halted my movement.
âOh my God!â she exclaimed, pointing toward the grass.
âTake a look at this!â
Ivyâs eyes widened, and her mouth fell open slightly in a gesture of disbelief.
Her expression conveyed sheer horror, as though she had witnessed something unimaginably dreadful.
I stopped, turning my gaze to where she indicated.
When I saw what it was, I couldnât help but take a deep breath.
A dead white cat lay in the grass, its eyes wide open in a miserable death.
Its once strong body had shriveled, and the hair on its neck was pulled away, revealing two large puncture wounds that seemed larger than normal teeth.
Ivy stared at the scene, her mind reeling, as she queried in disbelief, âDarling, whatâs happening here? How could the white cat meet such an unusual death? And those holes on its neckâ¦What could have caused them?â
