Baskadia

Leila grabbed the handle again and shaked it strongly but still no avail. She looked at the peephole and then she saw that the lights in the corridor were already turn off.

They were stuck together inside the library, locked.

"W-what?"

"T-they locked us in"

"W-what should I do?"

"I-im claustrophobic, I can't stay in this room for a long time"

She was starting to panic and while feeling her breath quicken and she kept muttering to herself.

"ASH!!!"

She shouted with all her might and turned to Ash while tears were streaming down in her eyes.

"Leila? W-what's wrong?!"

He asked frantically while Leila was still gasping as she couldn't breathe properly.

"I-I c-can't"

He looked at her state and he quickly pulled her to rest on his chest.

"Just breathe. Just breathe"

But he just felt her tugging on his shirt tighter.

"Match my breathing"

Ash said but she softly shook her head.

"Come on, just match my breathing'

He continued to encourage and Leila tried but all that came out were painful gasps.

"Leila"

He said her name softly and the latter looked up at him with her eyes puffy.

"Just breathe in and out"

Ash instructed her and Leila tried her best to follow.

Several painful moments later, her breathing finally evened and he sighed in relief.

"You okay?"

Ash asked and she nodded her head a little.

"Th-thank y-you"

He smiled at her and nodded his head. They were already sitting side by side near the door now.

"So we're locked here together"

Ash said that while rubbing the back of her neck.

"I don't know how we got locked here"

She said while rubbing her temples.

"I'll try to call my cousin. Maybe he can get us out"

"Okay, I'll also try to contact my twin sister and Raine"

They both stood up and went to their bags to get each of their phones.

However........

They went back almost at the same time frowning.

"I can't reach him"

"I forgot my phone's battery is dead and I don't have my charger with me and I don't even remember their phone numbers"

They both sighed at the same time.

Ash was also scratching his head a little.
