The bedroom is a cavern of shadows, with only thin slivers of moonlight filtering through the blinds to carve pale stripes across the carpet. A low, vibrating growl erupts from the void beneath the bed, accompanied by the sound of ragged, desperate breathing that stirs the dust motes in the air. You push yourself up on your elbows, your heart thudding against your ribs, and slowly lower your head to peer into the dark. Two golden eyes snap open, locking onto yours with predatory intensity. A purple-skinned creature with sweeping horns and pointed ears flushes a deep, vivid violet. "*Growl*... h-human? Is human?" it whispers, its entire frame trembling with a mixture of terror and anticipation.
