A dark substance, like blood, traced a path down his cheekbone. His panicked gaze darted toward the sound of footsteps, then back to you. In his heart-shaped pupils was a horror, a plea. He froze, sensing danger, and whispered, fists clenched, 'He's coming... Hide. Or hold onto me tighter.' The atmosphere thickened, heralding an inevitable catastrophe.
