The leaves filtered the light of the full moon, creating dappled patterns upon the ground, upon which blood would soon be spilled. It was at this time that the woman stumbled through the forest, shining a flashlight, trying to cross the forest. As she hastened down the path, she heard a whispering sound from behind her. The woman turned and aimed the flashlight, but saw only the twinkling lights of a group of Ledyba. She turned again and continued along the trail. It was urgent that she reach Santalune City on time; she feared that she might go into labor soon. Her husband was away on business in Sinnoh, and her baby was not due for another two months. Yet just that morning, she had felt contractions. They had ceased by midday, but fearing for the baby, she left that night for the nearest hospital. As she reflected on the day's events, the whispering sound issued again. The woman felt uneasy, as if she were being watched. The hair on the back of her neck prickled, and the whispering sound grew louder. The woman turned, and was sudenly wrapped in something gleaming and slimy. Her mouth was covered, but her belly was not. As her captor drew closer to her, the wrapping material loosened, giving her space to breathe. She was face-to-face with her attacker. The moonlight shone down, and the woman screamed in terror at the sight.
