From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 547

The air was icy cold.

So cold, it made Rebecca shiver uncontrollably.

But the thermostat was definitely off.

And something was wrong with the lights, too.

They were dim—flickering in and out, every shadow thrown sharply against the walls.

Rebecca’s image appeared on the monitor, and at that moment, Daniel became frantic, struggling desperately against his restraints. He was terrified they’d hurt her.

Rebecca swallowed hard and shut the living room door behind her.

Hanging in the center of the room was a framed photo of Sandra.

In the picture, Sandra was smiling right at Rebecca.

A chill ran down Rebecca’s spine, the tiny hairs on her arms standing on end. She rushed to turn on the television.

Static hissed from the screen.

What was going on?

Was the TV broken?

Rebecca stepped closer, tapping the screen in frustration.

And then—

Snap!

The room’s lights went out all at once.

Only the faint glow of the static-filled TV remained.

Had the power gone out?

Rebecca stumbled backward, bumping into a chair with a sharp clatter.

“Rebecca…”

“Rebecca…”

Two voices echoed through the darkness, soft and distant, but growing closer.

Cold sweat drenched her skin.

That voice—it couldn’t be…

Sandra. It was Sandra’s voice.
