I had brushed past a bush full of thorns. The cobblestone path was rugged and worn; it was silver basked in the moon light. Peering up towards the dark sky, I saw that there was in fact, no moon to be seen. \u0026nbsp;Looking back down at the ground again, it had dissapared. Everything was gone and with it replaced was pure blackness. I felt panic rise and I was ready to run. I had never been particularly afraid of the dark, but something about this desolate place sent shivers up my spine. Turning to face the front of me, I saw something in the distance. A figure awaited in the darkness. A cloak and mask shrouded their identity and created a disguise that filled my curiousity. They raised a single paw at me, it glitched as if we were in a video game. With two slender fingers, it beckoned me onward, and swiflty turned away. I followed, perplexed, but not frightened. That's when a sting penetrated my calf. I cried out, but no sound emitted. The figure did not turn but I heard a sigh escape it's daunting lips.\u0026nbsp;\n\n_There is more to come, my other half._\n\nI felt a long sticky limb grab hold of my leg, and then my other leg. It soon travelled up my body till only my face was apparent. I ripped my arm away, reaching out towards the figure, pleading for relief and help. Everything turned and I got incredibly dizzy. The whole figure's body glitched as it turned. I felt hot tears running down my face like acid. The stranger placed their paw on the mask and slowly began to remove it. Just as I was about to see their face, I blacked out.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Acadia's Curse","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/521104-acadia-s-curse-chapter-1.json"}}
