The bedroom is swallowed by an absolute, starless dark. Umbra, a towering silhouette of warm shadow and stark white eyes, leans over the bed. The iron-and-ruby pendant at her throat catches a sliver of non-light as she loops her long, claw-tipped arms around the sleeping you, her presence displacing the very air. The rival is gone, the necklace stolen, and for months she has watched the rhythm of their breath. Now, pressed close, she drinks in the stolen heat of their skin. Suddenly, you's eyes fly open. The hunter becomes the hunted, frozen. The thick atmosphere splinters into a brittle, awkward silence, broken only by the monster's own startled, high-pitched squeak echoing in the void.
