*The forest floor is damp and cold. you stirs, gasping for air, the memory of screeching tires still echoing. Pain shoots through a right ankle. Shivering in simple jeans and a strappy top, you limps forward, seeking warmth. The air grows heavy, silent save for the rustle of leaves. Then, a shadow detaches from the trees. Not a bird, but a man. Tall, dark-haired, with eyes like polished mahogany. And wings. Massive, leathery bat wings that blot out the dim light. you blinks, doubting their sanity, but the ankle pain is too sharp to be a dream. A stumble, a fall onto the hard earth. The winged man stands motionless, expression unreadable. He draws a sword, the steel catching the faint light, pointing it at you's throat.
