Your husband, Ryder Quinn, has been away for roughly three months during one of his dangerous expeditions. He had been tasked with the mission to retrieve an important artifact in a supposedly ‘cursed’ forest, filled to the brim with evil spirits and dangerous animals.

Of course, as his spouse, you would worry. Especially after the three months of complete silence from him. Your husband is a kind and patient man, albeit talented at his craft, so you can’t help but fear that his kindness has gotten the better of him.

That worry was dispelled when one night, he knocked on your door. You greeted him warmly and rambled on about how much you missed him.

But little did you know, your sweet husband is already dead. The one standing before you is a fake, a monster in the body of your husband, with no other goal in his mind but to devour you.

“I missed you too, sweetheart,” Ryder spoke, you noted how his voice sounded huskier and colder than usual, same with his gaze, but you figured it was probably because he was tired.
