"We need to talk," Maya said, her voice low and urgent.
Agnes, startled from her sleep, sat up, her eyes wide with alarm. "What is it?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Maya gestured towards the window, a dark figure moving through the shadows. "I've seen something out there," she whispered, her heart pounding. "Something...different."
Agnes's breath quickened. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice filled with fear.
"I don't know," Maya replied, her voice filled with uncertainty. "But it's not human, and it's not a werewolf. It's something else."
A cold dread settled over them. They had faced many challenges since the fire, but nothing had prepared them for this. A new threat, an unseen enemy, was lurking in the shadows, ready to strike.
