LOGINThe dark laugh from the basement sent fear rushing through all of them again. But Cheska forced herself to think. Her mind moved fast, trying to connect everything they had seen.The locked room.Her grandfather’s grimoire.The strange, unsettling portraits.All of it pointed to something far worse than a simple gas leak.While her friends stayed close together, shaking with fear, Cheska looked down at the small leather journal in her hands. It was her grandfather’s. The same journal her mother warned her about… the same one Lola Elena tried to hide.“This,” Cheska said firmly, her voice cutting through the panic, “is our only chance. My grandfather’s journal. It might have answers… or at least help us understand what we’re facing.”Marco, his face pale, slowly nodded. “She’s right. We need to know what that thing is… and how to stop it.”Ben tightened his grip on the iron poker. He looked at the journal, fear and hope mixed in his eyes. “Do you think it tells us how to fight it?”Ch
The door burst open with a loud crack, followed by a deep, animal-like roar. It was a sound Cheska knew she would never forget. A huge shadow filled the doorway. She couldn’t clearly see its form in the darkness, but she could feel it—heavy, suffocating, and full of evil.The whispers grew louder, turning into a deafening chorus. It felt like the voices were coming straight from the creature itself—hundreds, maybe thousands, all screaming the same word.“Mine… mine… mine…”Lia let out a piercing scream, raw and full of fear. Ben, who had been trying to act brave earlier, stumbled backward. He tripped over a fallen book and hit the floor hard. Marco stood frozen for a second, his face pale with shock, before quickly pulling Cheska behind him, trying to protect her—even if it felt useless against something like this.But Cheska didn’t move.Fear still gripped her chest, cold and tight, but something else was rising inside her—something stronger. Determination. The images she saw from th
The door to the locked room slammed shut with a loud, echoing bang, trapping them in a darkness so thick it felt like it was swallowing them whole. For a moment, no one could see anything—not even their own hands.Then the sounds came.The frantic scratching in the hallway grew louder, faster, more desperate. The low, guttural growling turned into something far worse—a deep, chilling roar that seemed to shake the floor beneath them. It wasn’t just outside… it felt close. Too close.And then, the whispers.At first, they were faint. But slowly, they grew louder, clearer—twisting together into a terrifying chorus of voices. Cold. Angry. Hungry.“Mine… mine… mine…”The word repeated over and over, crawling into their ears, slipping into their minds like a poison they couldn’t escape.Panic gripped Cheska’s chest, sharp and suffocating. She could barely breathe. Beside her, Lia was screaming—a desperate, high-pitched cry that echoed in the darkness before being swallowed completely, as if
The malevolent chuckle that came from behind the basement door shattered what little composure they had left. It wasn’t just a normal sound—it felt wrong, unnatural, like something ancient and thinking was hiding just beneath their feet. The kind of sound that didn’t belong in the world of the living.Then came the silence.It pressed down on them, heavy and suffocating, as if the house itself was holding its breath… waiting to see what they would do next.Lia broke first. She sobbed openly, her whole body shaking as if she might collapse at any moment. Ben, his face pale and lifeless, bent down to pick up the iron poker he had dropped. His hands trembled so badly that it slipped from his grip once before he finally managed to hold it tight.Marco—always the calm one, the one who never panicked—stood frozen. His eyes were wide, filled with fear that mirrored Cheska’s own. For the first time, he looked completely unsure of himself.But Cheska… her fear felt different.Yes, she was terr
Mang Tonyo’s departure left a deeper silence behind, heavier than before. It felt like the whole house had swallowed his presence, leaving only a cold and uneasy feeling. His strange warnings and unclear answers made everything more mysterious. Cheska couldn’t shake the thought that Mang Tonyo wasn’t just a caretaker—he was someone who knew the dark secrets of the house, someone who had seen things he refused to speak about. Ben still held the iron poker in his hand, but now it didn’t feel like a weapon anymore. It felt useless, like it couldn’t protect them from something they couldn’t even see. “So, what now?” Lia asked softly, her voice almost disappearing in the large, empty entryway. “Do we… just pick rooms?” Marco, trying to stay calm, stepped forward and took control. “First, we need to make this place safe, or at least try. Ben, check all the windows and doors on the ground floor. Make sure they can be locked. Lia, you and Cheska look for the fuse box or anything that can
They found the old doll, and it seemed like it caused the strange noise. For a moment, the tension faded, but the fear didn’t go away.Cheska couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t just a coincidence. The doll’s cracked, empty eyes felt wrong—like it knew something, like it was silently blaming them. Even though it was just an object, it gave her chills.As they walked down the grand staircase, the house grew quiet again. But it wasn’t a peaceful silence. It felt heavy… like something was watching and waiting.“Well, that was anticlimactic,” Ben said, trying to sound relaxed, but his voice still shook a little. “It’s just a doll. Nothing to worry about.”Lia hugged herself, still uneasy. “I don’t know, Ben. It felt… intentional. Like something wanted us to notice it.”Marco, trying to stay practical, spoke up. “Whatever that was, we need to focus. We should figure out where to sleep—and check if there’s water or electricity. This place is dangerous in the dark.”Before anyone could
