The sound of a window breaking.

Pain wracks through Elle's body as she tries to get upright.

A strange man is in their house. His bones break and reform, his skin tears and heals, and he transforms into a grotesque wolf-like creature. He whips his head around and looks directly at Elle and a teenage boy who looks just like her.

Someone grabs her and she flinches away.

Elle and her brother scream and begin run. Her brother pushes her away as the creature, impossibly fast, catches up to them. She stumbles, falls, and tries to twist to see what's happening behind her.

She can hear someone talking, feel someone touching her, but she can't understand what they're saying.

Elle can only watch as her brother's blood splatters over the white marble floor. She's completely paralyzed by fear as the monster keeps biting and ripping into him. She screams.

She screams.
"ADAM!"

Adam's blood warm on her face. Teeth tearing into flesh. A horrible cackling as her brother is torn apart in front of her.

She's vaguely aware of someone trying to lift her up. She begins to fight against them. She can't leave her brother behind.
