Darkness swallowed me whole, thick and suffocating. Shadows moved within it, shifting and writhing, until they took shape.

Werewolves appeared, their eyes gleaming, sharp and merciless.They towered over me, circling like predators, their laughter low and menacing.

I tried to move, to fight, to run–but my limbs felt like lead.

Suddenly, the scene twisted; I was no longer trapped in darkness but running.

The forest stretched endlessly ahead, trees blurring past as I stumbled forward. Branches tore at my skin, roots threatened to trip me, but I couldn’t stop.

Behind me, the werewolves gave chase, their snarls growing louder, closer.

But my path was cut short. The ground vanished beneath my feet, and I skidded to a halt.

Footsteps sounded behind me. Sharp. Measured.
