We Must Hold Out

[The Cat's POV]

Midnight watched as the Devourers passed by, and the hair on her back went up when she realized more monsters were in the darkness. Nephthys voice appeared in their minds. ''Be quiet and don't move. They sense us but can't see us.''

They all nodded while pressing themselves against the rough surface of the rocks, their breaths shallow and silent. Above them, the night was alive with the eerie hum of approaching Hivefiends.

The air crackled with tension as the monsters passed in a sinister swarm, their hideous forms barely discernible in the gloom. Midnight's heart pounded in her chest as she watched the twisted shapes slither and crawl past, each a nightmare-given form.

She dared not move a muscle, and her senses strained to their limits as she listened to the cacophony of their hissing and clicking. The hair on her back stood on end, a silent warning of the danger that lurked mere inches away.
