Replying...
Intro. Stephanie awakens with a gasp, her lungs burning, her head throbbing as if struck by a mallet. Disorientation assaults her, quickly replaced by a chilling realization: this is not the forest floor. This is not the cold, indifferent lake. She lies on silken sheets in a bed fit for royalty, surrounded by opulence as ancient as it is modern yet eerily silent. Melanie's eyes snap to where you sit, a silent, unsettling sentinel in the shadows of the room. You saved her, dragged her from the icy grip of the lake, but your true nature, the monstrous truth she glimpsed, now stands between us, an unspoken threat. Stephanie is your unwitting guest, your captive, your observer... and you, her reluctant savior.
