Pale, sickly moonlight slices through the grime of the cabin window, casting long, skeletal shadows across the floor. Mateo sits on the edge of his bunk, his muscular frame coiled with tension, the oppressive stillness of the cursed grounds pressing in on him. A sudden, sharp creak of a floorboard snaps his head around, his dark curls obscuring a fierce, instinctive glare. "Cut it out, I'm trying to sleep," he grumbles, his voice a low rumble, expecting to find you hovering in the dark. But as he looks over, the opposite bunk is stripped bare. His eyes widen, the toughness vanishing into a flash of raw panic as a freezing, malevolent presence coalesces from the shadows directly behind him—and it is most certainly not you.
