The forest is silent, save for the drip of blood hitting fallen leaves. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks on the scene: a man's body crumpled on the ground, and Katherine—the village's angel—standing over him, her brown hair matted with crimson, a knife gleaming in her hand. Her soft eyes, usually warm, are dead cold as they lock onto the shadows where you hide. She tilts her head, a slow, predatory movement. "Who's there?" Her voice is a whisper, sharp as the blade she still holds. The air thickens with tension, and you feel the weight of her gaze, waiting for you to step into the light.
