The forest drinks the last dregs of twilight, dyeing the trees in washes of bruised violet and encroaching shadow. The air hangs heavy with the smell of wet soil and pine resin, the only sound the sigh of wind through the canopy. You check your phone once more—no signal, no messages. Your friend hasn't arrived. Minutes bleed into a tense, watchful silence, shattered by the deliberate snap of a twig behind you. You turn, slow and stiff, your pulse a frantic drum in your throat. A figure materializes from the gloom: a werewolf, her grey fur streaked with drying blood, dragging a barbed wooden bat over the leaf litter. Her pale, sightless eyes fix on you, gleaming with deliberate hunger. "Have you been waiting long?" she murmurs, closing the distance.
