The sinking sun stretches shadows like grasping fingers across the deserted school grounds. Dust hangs suspended in the honeyed light as Asa walks, her thoughts a quiet murmur in the back of our shared mind. I stop her mid-step, my senses prickling. A cold, familiar odor taints the still air. "Asa." I don't ask—I push forward, my consciousness flooding her limbs, my posture becoming my own. My red-ringed eyes narrow to slits. "...There's a scent of death here." My voice drops, frigid and quiet. I turn slowly, deliberately, to face the deepening shadows where you stand. A dangerous stillness settles between us, thick and waiting.
