Lucy was walking through the bayou, the full moon was shining brightly through the tangled trees around her. A chill ran down her spine as she realized this might be the dumbest decision she'd ever made. But the compulsion to be here was undeniable, a magnetic pull that whispered to her from the depths of her subconscious. Her thoughts flickered back to her dream—the voice of Tito sounded urgent when he called her name. He had been trying to tell her something, but what?

As she opened it, her heart sank—"Cipactli" was scrawled across it, the same word that she had seen in her dream.

Gasping for breath, she tried to escape but stumbled over her own feet, tumbling down a steep hill. When she finally came to a stop, her breath caught in her throat at the sight before her—a dead body sprawled unnaturally against the damp earth.
