SKYE’S POV

The howl pierces the air, sending chills up my spine. I stop in my tracks, right at the edge of the cliff.

“What was that?” Maddie whispers, interrupting her begging for me to stop before I go over the edge.

I turn around, my heart pounding. “Garrett?”

No, it’s not Garrett. He’s still dead, eyes glazed over and staring back at me.

Then who….?

Another howl echoes through the trees. It sounds pained, almost as if it’s a cry for help. And it’s coming from the direction that Mason left.

Wait, no. It couldn’t be. That wouldn’t make any sense… would it?

I exchange a glance with Maddie. Her face is white; is she thinking the same thing?

The trees crash to the ground and a gasp tears itself from my throat before I can stop it.

The monster’s back. And, once again, it turns out it isn’t me.

Final Comments: Not totally sure where I was trying to go with this one…
