Chapter 1

White hot, forked and jagged lightning flashed through the blackening sky.The contrast was striking.Thunder shattered the quiet; the deafening noise echoed in the dense forest and eerie length of the road. Rain relentlessly fell in thick sheets of grey droplets. The wind's force stripped branches clean from the trees and swirled around the debris in a frenetic heap. The darkness of the night obscured the nocturnal animals prowling towards their dens.Delicate fingers traced the edge of the frosted window, the coolness seeped through the wool of her gloves.Another clap of thunder jolted the girl's body in fright. Her hand disconnected from the glass and retreated to her lap.The girl, Melody LaCroix sighed uneasily at the ferocious weather. These kinds of nights always unsettled her. The constant whirlpools of storms reminded her all too much of her past.She tore her gaze away from the frightening scene outside and instead focused on what laid before her.Her new home.The headligh

Melody woke up to the sound of light rain hitting the large frosty window. A familiar coldness seeped into the room as the dim light began to rise. She wiped away the lingering locks of hair away from her face before letting out a long yawn.Grabbing her usual morning attire—which consisted of a thick jumper and slipper boots, she drifted out of her room and navigated herself to the kitchen.Melody's nose scrunched up at the strong smell of the bitter brew as she passed Mino. She greeted him before pouring water in the kettle and flicking on the switch to let it boil. She glanced around the small but practical kitchen that had brown cupboards and a weathered island bench.Mini chewed on slightly burnt toast with a placid expression, he spoke up, "Did you manage to get some sleep?" He washed his food down with the black coffee.She shrugged indifferently, not really answering the question verbally. "Did you hear the wolves howling early this morning?"The continuous sounds had woke her

It was beyond freezing.The glacial winds made the temperature feel sub-zero and even though it was typical conditions, it did not subdue the grumpiness that followed from getting numb feet and blue lips.To keep her mind off the relentless weather, she chose to admire the scenery. It was oddly enchanting—in a kind of deadly way.Melody cast her eyes to her right, staring at the Tensers' forest.The tall pine branches swayed in the wind, the dark leaves and weaving vines entangled the tree trunks. She could see the dense, green undergrowth, the narrow and twisting animal trails and the darkness oozing from the depths of the forest.She made a promise to herself, right there and then, that she would never enter that forest and its lurking inhabitants.Melody shivered before glancing to her left.There were rows of dull, gloomy houses with unopened curtains and lifeless front yards. Not a single noise emitted from the homes and no light illuminated inside or out. Melody vaguely wondered

"I'd ask you to stay for coffee or something, but I have a lot of unpacking to do," Melody subtly tried to tell Mehmet to leave; his presence was suffocating.He somehow managed to make her feel feverish and anxious as the confinements of the living room suddenly seemed stifling."I can see that," he replied, observing the scattered brown boxes.Melody shivered. His tone was masked by a chilling calmness that unsettled her."Perhaps another time then." He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes."Certainly," she forced a smile; the faux politeness she had to assemble during their walk was leaving a foul, bitter taste in her mouth and cheeks sore.All she had discovered was that he has lived in Tensers his whole life and he knew everything about the place.Melody led him out to the door and hastily opened it."See you soon, Melody." With her name being the last word, Mehmet left her home. His powerful strides crunched the hard layer of snow and undergrowth beneath his boots as he slowly fa
