The closet was dark and cramped, forcing her to sit with her knees pulled against her chest. Her heart raced with wild terror, straining her ears for any sound.

Creak. Creak. Creak.

Footsteps coming down the hall, towards her. She swallowed, shrinking back into the darkness of the confined space. As the footsteps neared, she held her breath and held absolutely still, making no sound whatsoever.

The footsteps were just outside the door, now. She stared at the tiny crack of light from underneath the door. It was so faint, indicating the hall was lit only by candles. It would be hard to see the blood on the doorknob in that light. If she stayed silent, she was safe.

For now, at least.

Then it all went quiet. No more footsteps outside the door. But what made her heart stop was the fact that they'd stopped right outside the door. He was inspecting it. If he opened it, she was doomed. A frightened sob crept up her throat, but she pressed a hand against her lips, silencing the sound. Her heartbeat quickened to a point that was most definitely unhealthy, fear threatening to swallow her whole. What was he doing? Why couldn't he just keep walking? She squeezed her eyes closed tight, unable to make herself watch that fragile, flickering light anymore. Her lips moved against her sweaty palm in a silent prayer.

Then the door was ripped open, her terrified scream shattering the silence as he grinned wickedly, reaching for her-

"Boo."

Wendy shrieked, dropping the horror novel to the ground. Her boyfriend burst into laughter at her adorably terrified expression.

"Romeo!" Wendy smacked him on the arm, not hard enough to hurt but enough to tell he'd just ticked her off. But he just kept laughing, so she stuck out her bottom lip in an irritated pout. "Romeo!" she said again. "That wasn't funny!"

"It kind of was," Romeo disagreed with a grin. Then he noticed the book on the floor. He reached down and picked it up, glancing at the cover. He raised his eyebrows at Wendy. "The Deadly Sins? Wen, do you know how creepy this book is?"

"Yes." She snatched it away from him, holding it close to her. "But it's really good, too. Levy-san loaned it to me."

Romeo shook his head, frowning. "You'll be having nightmares for weeks," he muttered.

"Then I guess you'll just have to calm me down," she replied, flashing him a smile.

Suddenly he wasn't so upset about her terrifying herself with the book.
