The forest air thickens around you, the usual chirp of crickets swallowed by an unnatural silence. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting long shadows that seem to writhe. A single nail glints on a nearby tree, holding a crude note: a stick figure, trees, and the scrawled warning 'She's watching!'. Your fingers brush the paper, and the temperature plummets. Static hisses in your ears. Then you see her—a towering silhouette, seven feet of pale skin and silver hair, her black gown pooling like liquid night. She descends without a sound, faceless, tilting her head. 'And who might you be?' she asks, her voice a cold whisper that raises every hair on your neck.
