How had her life spiraled into this? Dwayne unlocked a heavy door at the end of the hall, the creaking sound loud and ominous in the silence. He pushed it open, revealing the attic- a room she had never seen since she began working as a maid in the mansion. It was far from the grandeur of the rest of the house. Dust clung to the floorboards, and cobwebs decorated the corners. The small, square window allowed only a thin sliver of moonlight to seep in, casting eerie shadows on the bare walls. "Stay here," Dwayne muttered, his grip loosening on her arm, then he bent his head over to remove the handcuff.

Chapter 26: The Woman in the Attic The house was silent again. The gunshot had stopped echoing but the smell of gunpowder hung heavy in the air. It mixed with the copper tang of blood from the dead Cleaner in the study and the sour stench of my own fear. I stood at the bottom of the attic stairs. They were narrow and steep. Dust motes danced in the sliver of light coming from the crack under the door at the top. This was the forbidden zone. The one place Kaelen had forbidden me to enter.

The house was empty and quiet just like I hoped it would be. I started in Caroline's office going through her desk drawers and filing cabinets. Everything there was just business documents and political papers and nothing about my mother or the estate. Then I remembered the attic. When I was younger, Caroline told me never to go up there and said it was dangerous because the floor was weak. I wondered if she just did not want me to find something. I pulled down the attic ladder from the hallway ceiling and climbed up with my phone flashlight on. There was no light up there. When I reached the top, I saw boxes and old furniture covered in dust and cobwebs.

Sean excitedly started the session, "Heyya, everyone! Welcome back to the CreepyHells Channel. Oh my god! You won't believe where we are now. Guess! Where are we?!" @kluk_44 [Hi, guys!] @riya_frejy [Wow! You in a new place again?] @user_3345 [I hope this session is better than last week.] "Yeah! We're in an abandoned house in Minnesota. You must know the rumors about this house, right?" Elly continued. "Alright. I don't think we need to explain much, since most of you already know the story about this house. Should we go straight in?" Eiden said.

"Attic, niece. Now." I followed him up the creaky stairs, heart pounding with the thunder. The attic was dusty, filled with old trunks and heirlooms—faded portraits, rusted jewelry, a massive four-poster bed in the corner, canopy torn. Wind rattled the small window, rain pounding like fists. He locked the trapdoor behind us. "Storm's trapping us here. Perfect for breeding my little whore proper."

"He didn't trust the cloud. He used to say that anything digital could be unwritten, but ink was a contract with the Earth. Follow me. The floorboards up there are treacherous." We climbed in silence. The air grew thinner and colder as we ascended, smelling of mothballs, old wool, and the dry, sweet scent of decaying paper. The attic door was a small, unassuming slab of oak at the end of a narrow hallway. It groaned as I pushed it open, a decade of trapped air rushing out to meet us. It was a cavern of lost things. Stacks of leather-bound ledgers, crates of silk samples from the 90s, and draped furniture that looked like a gathering of ghosts. Luciano clicked on a heavy tactical flashlight,

Shayla was the only one at home and was currently in the living room watching some cheesy romance movie. I could hear the main heroine blubbering from all the way upstairs. The attic was a mess of cobwebs and dust so thick I could scoop it up with my finger. It was clear no one had been in here for years. Getting inside had taken me more time than I cared to admit. The ladder that slid from the hatch in the ceiling was old and liked to groan every time I moved too fast. Crouched to avoid the low ceiling, I maneuvered my way through the musty attic.

The remnants of her mother’s and father’s lives beckoned her from the attic, like sirens calling her to uncover the secrets hidden within their old belongings. With a deep breath, Aqua climbed the creaking stairs to the attic. Dust motes danced in the beams of sunlight streaming through the small window, and the air was thick with the scent of aged paper and wood. She rummaged through boxes filled with forgotten memories, her heart racing with anticipation.

They walked back into the hallway, and she pointed up a golden beaded string that hung from a small door in the ceiling leading to what ivy assumed was the attic. Ivy pulled and the stairs slid down when the door tugged open. Allowing them access. “After you dear.” Freda spoke directing her to go into the attic. Ivy obliged ascending the stairs into the cold musky space. There was no light to illuminate the space. Her heart lashed in its cavity, the hairs on her skin stood up a cold chill surrounded her. The air felt heavy, humming and she felt a cold breath on her. “Ivy?” Freda spoke Ivy jumped. Her heart rate only more unnatural she turned to see her aunt at the top step awaiting ivy to tu
