The very memory of that night was like a recurring nightmare.... The fog was cold and damp, an icy wind blew through the forest hiding in the shadows, but Selena hardly noticed the cold. Autumn trees, bare and leafy, clung to her as she ran frantically through the forest near her house. Her heart was beating so loudly it felt like it was going to explode. Looking back over her shoulder, she saw blurry, indistinct figures moving through the fog after her. The full moon shone through the dry branches of the trees overhead. Storm clouds covered the moon like a veil.
