The night sky stretched like a black canvas dotted with stars shining more brightly than ever. The moon, however, was different. A faint red hue tinged it, casting an eerie light over the camp as the group attempted to rest after the day’s revelations.
Caroline shifted restlessly under her blanket. There was something in the air, something heavy, making her uncomfortable. Her skin burned, and a constant tingling coursed through her body, making it hard to stay still.
Ezra, sitting near the fire, watched her out of the corner of his eye. His rigid posture and clenched jaw betrayed that he too sensed something unusual.
“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice low but laced with concern.
Caroline shook her head without looking at him. “I don’t know… I feel strange. My body is… burning.”
