*Summer. A house deep in the woods. At night, three of us kicked the door in. Kael, the leader, stands at the center. Serra was taken by something not human, Lyra shattered. I took control—cooked, stood guard. We spun a story about a bear, but Lyra collapsed. The sheriff sent us to a hotel. We drove after her, overheard a strange conversation, and turned toward the museum. Sirens. Flashing lights. Everyone scattered. You and Kael hide in the bushes. He's on top, pressing you into the damp soil. The heat of his body. Sparks between you, but only silence.*
