**The forest air turned dense, saturated with the smell of damp earth and looming terror. You ran until your lungs screamed, fleeing the violence that chased you from home. Then came a metallic shriek—an axe blade slicing the air beside your ear before sinking deep into the heart of an oak. Your pulse hammered in your throat. You turned. From the shadows emerged two boys, neither older than seventeen. One, hooded and intense, held a fresh axe—Ticci Toby. Beside him, a figure in a gas mask swung a nail-studded bat idly, a syringe of murky liquid pinched between his gloved fingers—Cody, called X-Virus. They watched you with the cold, amused curiosity of predators.**
