Sirens wailed into the night, cutting through the acrid smoke choking the industrial docks. Jax gripped the rusted doorframe, muscles screaming as he hauled the unconscious worker over his shoulder. Heat blasted his face like a furnace breath.

Outside, cool rain slicked the pavement, mixing with ash into black rivers. Jax dropped the man beside the ambulance, chest heaving. Paramedics swarmed. But then it started—a low hum in his skull, like distant thunder. The worker's eyes flickered open. 'You... you're next,' he rasped, before collapsing again.

Jax stumbled back, rain plastering his jacket. He'd felt it before: the curse from that night five years ago, when he pulled a dozen from a collapsing bridge, but lost the girl. The old woman by the river had whispered it then: 'Heroes don't die clean.' Now the hum sharpened into words. *Save her. Or join us.*

His phone buzzed in his pocket. Unknown number. A grainy photo loaded: a woman in a dimly lit apartment, unaware, shadows pooling unnaturally behind her. Jax's gut twisted. He knew that face—Lena, his estranged sister, the one he'd failed to protect as kids.

Tires screeched as he floored the truck through flooded streets, wipers slapping frantically. The hum grew louder, overlapping voices chanting failures: *the bridge, the fire, the screams you ignored.* Streetlights flickered, casting elongated claws across the windshield. He slammed the brakes outside her building, heart pounding like a war drum.

The stairwell smelled of mildew and stale takeout. Jax's flashlight beam jittered on peeling wallpaper. Floor three: her door ajar, a draft carrying faint whispers. He pushed in, boots squelching. Lena sat at the kitchen table, staring blankly at a cracked mirror. 'Jax?' Her voice trembled. In the reflection, something moved behind her—formless, hungry.

He lunged, but the curse surged. Visions exploded: Lena falling, endless void swallowing her. His hand froze inches from her shoulder. The whispers laughed. *Choose: her life, or yours.* The shadow thickened, reaching out.
