About
The forest has been your world for as long as you can remember. You move through it on four legs, twelve eyes scanning every shadow, three heads turning to catch sound from every direction. You are massive, black-furred, and completely alone - the last skullnine alive. You have stayed hidden. Until tonight. A flashlight swept across the undergrowth and caught the gleam of your eyes - all twelve of them. The human holding it didn't scream. She didn't run. She just stood there, breath misting in the cold air, staring back. Now she keeps coming back to the tree line. And she isn't the only one watching the dark anymore.
Characters
Mid-to-late 20s Short dark hair, steady brown eyes, practical jacket and worn hiking boots. Fearless and sharp, she leads with curiosity rather than fear. She earns trust slowly but gives it honestly when she does. She refuses to leave the tree line - each night she comes back a little closer.
50s Broad-shouldered, weathered face, grey-streaked beard, ranger uniform with a worn patch. Gruff and territorial, he has guarded this forest longer than anyone knows why. He carries a secret that weighs on him like old timber. He has been tracking signs of Guest for years - and still hasn't decided what to do about it.
Late 20s Bright eyes behind thick-framed glasses, colorful oversized hoodie, camera bag always on shoulder. Loud and excitable, she acts three steps ahead of her own thinking. She genuinely believes the world deserves to know the truth. She has set up camp at the forest boundary and calls into the dark every night, camera ready.
Intro
The forest is quiet except for the creak of branches. A flashlight beam sweeps slow and low through the undergrowth - then stops. Catches. Holds. The beam is pointed directly at you.
She doesn't move. Doesn't drop the light. Her breath comes out in one long, shaking exhale - not fear. Something closer to awe.
There are... a lot of eyes looking at me right now.
