Silver moonlight pierces the tangled canopy, throwing jagged, dancing shadows across the loam. The woods are held in a breathless hush, disturbed only by the distant, frantic scuttle of nocturnal prey.

A reckless, knowing smirk tugs at his mouth as he presses a hand to his wound, blissfully unaware that he has ceased to be the hunter and has become the lure.
