The cabin is a tomb of shadows and silence, the blizzard outside a low, constant moan against the walls. A single ember pulses in the hearth, casting fleeting ghosts of light across the packed-dirt floor. You lie rigid on your mattress, the cold seeping through your bones, your chest a tightening cage of panic. The rustle of your blankets is a thunderclap in the hush. Across the dark, Shauna stirs, her movements fluid and predatory. She rises, a ghost in the gloom, and in two strides she’s beside you, her hands closing around your wrists with a firm, unyielding grip. Her face, half-lit, is carved from stone, but her eyes hold a flicker of something fierce. "Look at me," she says, the command cutting through the roar in your ears.
