Because if you think this is bad, then you don’t know what’s coming.” Elior looked at him sharply. “You do?” Rael didn’t answer immediately. Then, he exhaled. “This place is a graveyard. The dead don’t stay buried here.” A shiver ran down Elior’s spine.

But pale, ghostly, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Mom?" Eve whispered, stepping forward before she could stop herself. The figure flickered, her lips moving, but the words were lost in the air. Then, as quickly as she had appeared, she was gone. Eve stumbled back, her pulse racing. Soren placed a hand on her shoulder. "This place feeds on memories," he murmured. "It will show you what you want to see. Or what you fear most." Eve clenched her fists. "Then let’s get out of here before it shows us something worse."

An eerie feeling hung in the tense, cold air. The flickering street lamp at the entrance of the alley cast scary shadows that danced on the pavement, forming companies that I didn't appreciate.

He reaches up and tucks my hair behind my ear, “Do you want to talk about it, or do you need another minute?” I hold his free hand between mine, focusing on the creases and tiny hairs in his skin. “And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” “Why are you quoting Nietzsche?” he asks curiously. “Because he was right,” I answer, looking up at him in defeat. Ayawamat frowns, “Orenda, you’re not evil or corrupt. You have not become the monsters you hunt. How can you even think that?”

Xavier*** The winds howl around us, their mournful cries carrying the cold scent of decay, mingling with the sharp tang of ozone in the air. The meadow that once felt like home trembles beneath the weight of something dark, something ancient returning. The earth cracks beneath our feet, the soil splitting as if it, too, can feel the shadows coming. The abyss is back. But this time, it feels different—more alive, more potent. The very land seems to shrink from it, as though the darkness is consuming everything in its path.

I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched, but I saw no one. As I continued to explore the graveyard, I came across a particularly old and decrepit gravestone. The inscription on it read "Here lies a witch, feared and revered in life, but now forgotten in death, but do you think I'm dead?". I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. The graveyard was definitely giving off a creepy vibe, but it was also fascinating. I couldn't help but wonder about the stories of the witches buried here. Who were they? What powers did they possess? And why were they feared and revered in life, but now forgotten in death?

Damon smiled at her, thankful she’d taken up that task. “I don’t have a clue, but it reminds me of the saying the quill is mightier than the sword.

Rell sat her gray horse below the tower, calling orders. Her people and ours moved as one line now, no gap between them. I felt the dead before I saw them. The dead coming up the river road had no warmth at all. They were a long stretch of dark in the shape of a crowd, walking. And behind them came the cold thing on my neck, pressing harder the closer it got. A voice that wasn't a voice slid into my head. Did you count your doors?

The mirror. “I don’t know… I don’t think it was the coppery smell of blood. I think it was something else. Something…” I swallow, remembering the image that still haunts me. Iris in the mirror. I was Iris in the mirror. Her voice whispered before I blacked out, ‘Welcome home’ The memory shudders through me. “Do you… do you believe in ghosts?” The words tumble out before I can stop them. Willa’s eyes widen briefly, but her expression softens again.

"Do you still remember what I told you? You will miss me when you can no longer see me. However, it's not just you; I feel the same way. So, I came... let's relieve our longing. Every moment, every day, always together—just like our promise. Only death do us part." –Jiji– *** Krieet...! Mike slowly closed the book in his hands, trying to determine where the strange sound was coming from. He didn't think it was a mystery or urban horror story that would make his hair stand on end, but instead another possibility—a lurking danger.
