Entrapped hearts [Yandere Cult X Reader]

Mirror?

The next day I made my way to the bathroom. However, as I stepped inside, an eerie sensation crept over me. 

Something wasn't right. 

My instincts led me to the mirror. I stared at my reflection, but it felt different somehow.

Leaning closer, I pressed my hand against the glass. To my shock, there was no space between my hand and the mirror's surface. It was as if the mirror was one solid piece. 

A chill ran down my spine. Was this a two-way mirror? The thought seemed impossible, but the evidence before me was hard to ignore.

Questions raced through my mind. Who would install a two-way mirror in a bathroom? What were they trying to observe? Panic started to take hold, and I quickly scanned the room for any other signs of intrusion.

Were there hidden cameras?

Listening devices?

The room felt like a trap, suffocating and filled with secrets.

I took a deep breath and resolved to find a way to walk to the nearby town. It couldn't be too difficult; I've walked longer distances before. As I ventured out, I made a point not to follow any of the trails that led back to the house. The woods were peaceful, but a sense of caution still lingered within me.

While walking, my mind couldn't help but circle back to Dean. The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed that there was barely any information about him on the retreat's website. 

The place was supposed to be family-owned, and I vaguely recalled seeing another name that started with a 'W'.

Why was there such a veil of secrecy around Dean?

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching. I turned, and there was Dean, walking toward me. His appearance was almost as if he had materialized from thin air.

"Hey there," he said in that disarming voice of his. "Going for a stroll?"

"Yeah, just wanted to explore a bit," I replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

He gave me an almost too-perfect smile, but there was something unsettling about his gaze. "Exploration can be a fascinating experience. Just make sure you stay safe, Y/N."

The moment I turned my back to Dean and continued my trek into the forest, an eerie sensation washed over me. 

The woods seemed to tighten their grip, and every rustle of leaves sent shivers down my spine. The sounds of my footsteps echoed eerily through the dense trees, creating an unnerving symphony of nature's whispers.

As I ventured deeper, the shadows seemed to dance, playing tricks on my mind. I couldn't shake the feeling that unseen eyes were peering at me from the darkness. 

The looming trees stood like sentinels, their twisted branches reaching out like gnarled fingers, ready to snatch me away.

The woods became darker, and I could hardly make out my own path. But as I pressed on, a faint glow appeared through the thick foliage, like a beckoning light. My heart raced with a mix of dread and curiosity. I pushed forward, drawn to the light like a moth to a flame.

But before I could celebrate my escape, a chilling voice pierced through the air.

"Leaving so soon?" The words slithered like snakes, each syllable dripping with mockery and malice. I turned around to find Dean standing there, his face half-concealed by shadows, but his eyes glinted with an unsettling intensity.

"I... I was just exploring the area," I stammered, my voice quivering. "I wanted to see what was out here."

Dean's lips curved into a sinister smile, one that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Ah, curiosity can be a dangerous thing," he said, taking a step closer. "But remember, you're here to be part of something special, something unique."
