CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Morgan's heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming out in ragged gasps as she stumbled through the dark forest. She had no recollection of how she'd ended up here, and the terror clawing at her insides only grew with each passing moment. The cold seeped into her bones, chilling her from the inside out.

"Where am I?" Morgan whispered to herself, her voice barely audible above the rustling leaves. "How did I get here?"

The darkness seemed to close in around her, smothering her like a thick blanket. She could feel the weight of her past pressing down on her, her years spent behind bars after being framed for murder. It was a burden she carried every day, but never before had it felt so suffocating.

As she stumbled onward, her eyes began to adjust to the darkness. She detected a faint glow in the distance, something that seemed familiar. Squinting, she realized it was a light shining through a window – her father's cabin!

The warmth of the room washed over her, chasing away the bitter cold that had seeped into her bones. She stood there for a moment, catching her breath and taking in her surroundings.

"Hello?" she called out hesitantly. Her voice seemed to echo in the small space, making her feel even more alone than she had been in the forest.

"Ah, Morgan," came a deep voice from the corner of the room. She looked up and saw her father standing by the fireplace, his back to her. "It's been a while."

"Dad?" Morgan stammered, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't help but feel uneasy – something about him seemed off. He turned to face her, and her blood ran cold as she took in the sight before her. This man was not her father.

"Who are you?" she demanded, her voice wavering despite her best efforts to sound confident. "Where's my dad?"
