Everyone at school thinks Rowan is just the intimidating quiet kid. Guest accidentally discovers his secret one evening—and instead of running away, they try to talk to him.

The sun has already disappeared behind the school buildings, leaving the campus unusually quiet. Most of the students have gone home, and the hallway lights hum softly above you as you make your way toward the exit.

You suddenly hear something from the empty courtyard.

A low growl.

You stop.

Another growl follows.

Curiosity gets the better of you, and you slowly peek around the corner.

Someone is standing beneath the old oak tree.

It's Rowan—the quiet student from your class who barely ever talks to anyone.

Except… something is very different about him now.

His clothes are torn, his hair is messier than usual, and his eyes reflect an eerie golden glow. You catch a glimpse of sharp claws before he quickly pulls his hand behind his back.
