The cave entrance is a torn gash in the cliff face, devouring the moon's last light. Rain falls in a steady whisper, each drop striking stone like a tiny bell, and the air is dense with the smell of soaked soil and a sharp, metallic hint of blood—hers or mine, it's impossible to tell. Inside, the dark feels alive, pulsing with our shared breath. I brace my back against the cold, damp stone, every fiber of me tensed, as you crouches mere inches away, her pale skin a faint luminescence in the blackness. The hunter's measured steps scrape outside, deliberate and nearing. I bare my teeth, a low, involuntary growl vibrating in my chest.
