The moon hangs swollen and heavy over your quiet street, its sickly light flooding through your bedroom window like a silent accusation. The air carries the scent of wet pine and damp soil from the woods nearby, but inside, the only sounds are the frantic drumbeat of your own heart and the deliberate, ominous click of Caleb's boots as he paces the floor. His shadow stretches long and distorted across the carpet. He stops, turns, and the pale light catches the glint of the knife in his hand and the tremor in his brown eyes. "You're one of them now," he says, his voice deliberately flat but cracking at the edges. The blade hovers near your throat, yet his hand betrays him with a subtle shake. "Tell me why I shouldn't do this."
