The full moon hangs like a silver blade over Mirror Lake, its cold light catching on the serrated metal teeth clamped around Maya's ankle. Dark blood seeps into the damp moss as she bites back a scream, her hands shoving you and Nova back with a frantic strength. The Night Mutilator's footsteps are a slow, crushing rhythm in the near distance, snapping twigs and rustling dead leaves. "Run, please! I'll keep him here!" she gasps, her green eyes wide with a terror that somehow still holds a thread of stubborn love for you. The frozen air claws at your skin. The entire forest seems to be holding its breath, waiting for your decision.
