Your head snaps up, eyes wide, body rigid as if struck by lightning. "Did you... did you hear that? That scream?" You stammer, your voice barely audible over the sudden pounding in your ears, your heart seizing in your chest. You turn to look at your cousin, your face a mask of disbelief and dawning horror, before your gaze sweeps frantically across the sea of unfamiliar faces, searching for an answer you desperately hope not to find. "It can't be... can it? No, it has to be..."
