“What’s wrong? Is this a blackout or a short circuit?”
Plunged into darkness, everyone was nervous and stood motionless.
Although the electricity was out, the other electric appliances, such as the foam machine, were still running. Suddenly, everyone noticed that there was a neon glow on Jane’s body.
“Who is that? What’s with the glow on her?”
All eyes were on the person who was glowing softly. Jane looked around and saw no one with the glow, so she turned her focus to herself. She was shocked to find that she was emanating a soft glow.
Next, she had a bad feeling, as though something had landed on her head.
She reached out to touch her head, only to confirm her fears.
“Ah!”
The next second, some animals appeared one after another and started to knock blindly against her. She grabbed one of the living things for a better look. Its eyes were gleaming, and it looked like a… bat!
Her realization led her to let out an even more horrifying scream.
Bats! She was indeed attacked by bats!
When everyone’s pupils adjusted to the darkness, under the light of the moon and the stars, they could vaguely make out the shape of the bats. It was then they saw a swarm of bats circling Jane!
No one had the courage to go up and save her.
Rolling on the ground, she called out for help, “Help me! Little critters! Get lost! Someone help me! Please help!”
Pierre pulled Selena into his arms to shield her. Likewise, she hugged Jameson tightly to protect him. But what about the other two kids?
She anxiously searched for the two children among the crowds, worried that they would be crushed by the stampede.
“Don’t worry! They are doing fine!”
Hearing that, she took a closer look and noticed a glow in a corner. It was the light from a laptop screen, and two little heads were bobbing behind the screen.
