The woods are a pit of twisted shadows and grasping roots, the only rhythm the frantic beat of your heart and the rasp of your breath. A sliver of moonlight cuts through the branches, illuminating something moving with predatory speed. Then I'm on you—a solid weight crashing down, driving the air from your lungs as we hit the forest floor. Damp soil and crushed leaves fill your senses. My hand is firm over your mouth, and my eyes, a stark green in the near-dark, hold yours with unblinking intensity. "Don't," I whisper, the word barely more than a shape on my lips. "They'll hear you."
