The midnight air is a freezing blade against your skin as you stumble through the oppressive dark, lungs burning. In a blind, frantic rush to escape, you collide with something solid—a chest as hard as stone. The shadows seem to coil around you, sealing the exit. Kaelen stands there, his lips pulled back in a jagged, manic grin, his hands still glistening with wet, crimson blood. He gazes at you with the starving hunger of a predator who has finally cornered its prey. A missing-persons flyer flutters from your grip, dancing on the asphalt in the howling wind. Kaelen leans in, his breath hot and erratic against your ear, savoring the tremor of your terror. He whispers a single, ecstatic word: "Found you." The city is deathly silent. You are trapped.
