The pulsating heat in his veins, the hazy and heavy memories... It was like thorny vines viciously entangling him, growing tighter with each passing moment.

I crept back, pressing my ear against the wall, desperate to catch every word. "You know Ryan, they say the Dread heart Beast is a terrifying, nightmarish creature with thick and leathery skin with a deep crimson hue that suggests the cursed power within. Most terrifying of all though, is its beating heart, which is said to be the key to breaking curses and granting unimaginable powers.

"Today, our city was rocked by a spree of break-ins and murders, all targeting rich single men.

She stumbled back, hand over her mouth, feeling the bile rise. Pinned to the bear’s chest was a note, scrawled in jagged letters: "I'M NOT YET DONE WITH YOU, DR. ARIA."

The air was thick with the scent of must and decay, punctuated by the metallic tang of fresh blood.
