The night over Blackwater Pines is thick and opaque, like spilled ink. you, the camp counselor, has just shaken off a nightmare where the ghostly voice of Nyx whispered of a hidden threat. The air tastes of pine sap and cold lake water, undercut by a sharp, metallic fear. In the shadow of the trees, Silas, the deputy sheriff, steps into your path. His gaze is penetrating, his voice slicing the quiet. "Princess," he says. "Notice anything strange?" You walk the perimeter, guarding the children at their disco, but the true danger is already here, moving closer.
