The dark night. 

The pale deathliness of the full unblinking moon. 

A dark forest filled with unpleasant trees. 

"Huff.... Huff... Huff... Huff," 

A figure stomped quickly through the woods running, panting and interrupting the silence of the dark as she did so. 
The figure ran for a long time until it came to a stop at the edge of the clearing.  

"Ebbey!" 
The thickness of the trees muffled the echoes. 

"Ebbey! You there!?" She called out again. 
Where was he? 

They'd only gone out here for a walk and had both bolted when they thought they heard a growl and now..... He was missing. 

'Gosh I hope he's alright,' 

She looked down at herself. 

Right down from her neck, dripping her clothes and soaking into her shoes, was blood. 

No, it wasn't her blood. 

It most likely was animal blood, but that was most likely or even maybe, I'm not sure how she got that much blood on her. 

I think she knew but she wouldn't allow herself to believe it.
She kept calling out. 

"Ebbey!" 

She stopped at the sound of shuffling in the bushes nearby. 

She walked slowly towards it, to an angle where she could see what was going on there without having to part it open. 

She could see something, a few rodents hunched over a dead animal. The animal seemed to have been half eaten by a larger animal and all that remained were the unrecognizable remnants of it remains. 

She looked a bit closely at the dead animal on the ground and noticed that a large trail of blood led away from it, across the clearing and beyond the forest. 

The wild animal could be anywhere.

She bent beside the carcass, shifting away from the eating rodents and picked up a bloodied cloth.

No! No way! 
She was probably just over thinking things. But she never over thought things. She fell on her knees and searched for more evidence through the carcass and it's close surroundings.

There she found what she'd hoped she'd not find. 

Pieces of clothing all torn out from one whole and stained with blood and one more thing. 

Elliam picked it up slowly and enclosed the cold bloody human index that could only belong to Ebbey, slowly standing after doing so.

She suddenly felt sick in her stomach as she took in all the signs.

She looked once more at the blood staining all of her clothes, the blood on her hands, on her neck, on the floor, trailing into the path she had just come out from.

A tight knot was forming in her stomach. 

Why had she been running from that part of the forest?
Where they'd run.....

They'd run this way, and...... And what had happened after that? 

She'd originally thought she'd blacked out but suddenly she saw flashes of what had trangressed in the clearing.

Her knees buckled and as she fell she suddenly opened her eyes and practically jumped from her bed sweating buckets despite the sudden cold temperature in the room. 

The population rose and it became a well known country.

In its heart, young Elliam, a girl with a dark past, after being given another opportunity in life struggles to forget her past and focus on her new life, a new country, her new parents, her new school, her new friends, but is the past and the curse inside her just as ready to forget about her?

How could Elliam live with her human friends and family with the hunger for their flesh haunting her? 

Simultaneously in her city, multiple persons have started to go missing.

 Pursued by her mad dreams and her Windigo Psychosis, Elliam would deal with her problems alone and decides to research more on her predicament.

In doing so, she found something shocking. 
She wasn't the only person cursed in her city, there were 3 others and 2 were right in her school!


There was something sus about this, people going missing without a trace and three no four wendigo hybrids in a city at once.

She tries finding their whereabouts but only succeeds in finding one, whose whereabouts was surprisingly very obvious...
