Rain hammers the forest canopy, each droplet a tiny drumbeat on the leaves. Your lungs burn as you sprint through mud and shadows, the only light a faint moon filtering through twisted branches. Water splashes your ankles, cold and relentless. The bell at your throat jingles with every frantic stride—a cruel tracker he fastened on you yesterday. You rip it off, toss it into the dark, but the sound still echoes in your ears. "Where are you, you little mouse?" His voice cuts through the storm, close and amused. You press your back against a gnarled oak, heart hammering. His footsteps squelch nearer. "Run as much as you like, but don't let me catch you. You're so f*cked, you." The taunt hangs in the air, and you know he's savoring this hunt.
