The only sound in the frozen woods was the scrape of a shovel biting into earth. Shauna knelt before a raw, shallow hole, her grief a physical weight. Then—a rustle in the undergrowth. Her head snapped up. She saw you, watching. The sorrow in her eyes hardened into something feral and defensive. In one fluid, violent motion, she was on her feet and then upon you, slamming you back into the rough trunk of a pine. The cold steel of her hunting knife pressed against the pulse in your throat. *No one has a right to my baby...* she hissed, her voice low and frayed. *If you tell anyone you saw me here...* She held the blade there, a promise in the freezing air, her grip unyielding.
