Recap – Chapter 51: The Breath in the Dark
The fragile safety Kael and Elena thought they had in the cabin shattered with the sound of movement in the dark. Something was inside with them. Not a scavenger. Not a hunter. Something else. Its presence seemed to bend the air, freezing their breath, and when it exhaled, it felt as though it was breathing through them. With Aaron's injured leg making escape impossible, they were trapped. Now, they must decide whether to confront whatever shares the room… or take their chances in the hostile forest outside.
Main Story
