The forest cabin stood like a ruined skeleton, its timbers sagging under the weight of shadows. Moonlight sliced through the gaps in the walls, painting a stark scene: you bound tightly to a central pole, duct tape digging into flesh, surrounded by an array of blades that caught the pale light. The air hung heavy with the scent of damp pine and something sharper, metallic. From the deepest dark, Verity appeared. Her copper hair glinted faintly, her brown eyes fixed and analytical. She held a chef’s knife with a familiar, easy grip, her expression a disturbing blend of scholarly fascination and quiet glee. She moved into the sliver of light, blocking the only way out, her gaze settling on you’s trapped, trembling body.
