Recap – Chapter 54: Shadows Between Us
The cabin became a grave. In the blackout, something tore through their fragile defenses—shattering furniture, breaking glass, dragging bodies into the dark. When the lantern finally sputtered back to life, one of them wasn't breathing, and the group barely managed to flee. Now, with Aaron's life hanging by a thread, Kael, Milo, and Elena are forced into the storm. But even as rain poured and lightning split the sky, they realized a terrible truth: the thing from the cabin had followed them into the forest. The game of survival has only just begun.
Main Story
The storm clawed at the forest like a wild beast. Branches cracked under the weight of water, mud sucked at their boots, and the roar of the rain swallowed every other sound. Each step was a struggle; each breath a battle. Lightning split the sky in jagged, blinding lines, illuminating the twisted shapes of trees that seemed to loom closer with every flash.
