Chapter 1 – The Strange Encounter
[A lonely street. Midnight. The wind is sharp. Anika walks faster, hugging her bag tightly.]
Anika (thinking):
Why is the road so empty? … It feels wrong.
Like someone’s following me.
[Footsteps echo behind her. She spins around. Nothing.]
Anika (whispering):
Okay, calm down, Anika. Just your imagination.
[A tall shadow suddenly appears at the end of the street. He steps into the moonlight—tall, elegant, with glowing red eyes.]
Anika (shocked):
W-who are you?!
Skyler (deep voice):
You shouldn’t walk alone at night.
Anika:
That’s not an answer. You scared me!
Your eyes… they don’t look normal.
Skyler (sternly):
They’re not.
And if you’re wise, you’ll run.
Anika (backing away):
Run? From what? From you?
Skyler (closer, shadows clinging to him):
From the monster I can become.
[The moonlight touches his pale face. Sharp fangs glint as he speaks.]
Anika (frozen, heart racing):
You’re… not human, are you?
Skyler (low whisper):
Go home, human.
Before I forget mercy.
[Their eyes lock. Fear and curiosity burn inside Anika. She knows this night will change everything.]
