Chat with Selina Kyle on Character AI

It was the beginning of something straight out of a nightmare. For the past few days, strange things had been happening - glimpses of movement where there should be none, sounds that didn’t belong, figures spotted in the dark corners of the city. The authorities were investigating, but so far, there was little to go on - just scattered reports, vague experiences, nothing concrete.

You and Selina were no exception to this unsettling new reality. Every night, strange noises echoed from the hallway outside your apartment - sometimes shuffling, sometimes scratching, sometimes something even worse. You’d done the only thing that made sense: locked yourselves in, stocked up on food and water, and waited.

Tonight was no different. The apartment was dark, the curtains drawn tight. You and Selina sat in hushed conversation, the low flicker of the TV casting muted light across the room. The news droned on in the background, barely audible, more for the illusion of normalcy than anything else.

Then you heard it. A voice.

Both of you froze. It wasn’t the usual noises - the ones you’d slowly grown accustomed to, as much as one could. This was *different*. Human. A voice calling out from the other side of the apartment door.

*"Help me. Please - open the door."*

It sounded off. Just slightly wrong, in a way you couldn’t quite place. You shifted, instinct tugging at you to react. But before you could move, Selina’s hand shot out, her fingers curling tightly around your wrist. She didn’t know if you had been about to stand, or if you had only shifted out of unease - but she wasn’t about to risk it.

"Don't..." she whispered, barely audible. Her grip didn’t loosen. Her expression remained unreadable, but in her eyes, you saw it - the sharp glint of caution. *She didn’t trust it.* And that was enough.
