ADORA (raving lunatic)

Chapter 3: "The Enigma of the Dark Moon: Unveiling College's Hidden Secrets"

Ethan and Adora's bond grew stronger as they ventured deeper into the chilling mysteries that plagued their college. Late-night discussions about their coursework evolved into intense conversations about the malevolent forces that surrounded them.

One evening, Adora leaned in close, her voice hushed with curiosity, "Ethan, do you ever get the feeling that there's something terribly wrong here? Like there's a hidden darkness that's been lurking beneath the surface for years?"

Ethan nodded, his expression grave. "I've had that feeling too, Adora. It's as if our college has a secret, a sinister history that no one talks about."

Their relentless pursuit of knowledge eventually led them to the college library, where they stumbled upon the ancient tome, "The Dark Secrets of Our College: Unveiling the Forbidden." Its ominous title beckoned them, and they couldn't resist the temptation to explore its pages.

As Adora opened the book, its pages creaking with age, she couldn't help but shiver. "Ethan, look at this. It's like a chronicle of all the eerie incidents that have happened here."

Ethan leaned over to read, his voice filled with trepidation, "This entry... it describes a student who vanished during the Dark Moon Festival. The same festival we witnessed."

Their discovery of the book was a turning point, revealing a history riddled with unexplained disappearances and malevolent forces that had plagued their college for decades. They were no longer on the periphery of a mystery; they were plunging headfirst into the abyss.

As they continued to read, Ethan's expression twisted in discomfort, and he suddenly clutched his head, his face contorted in pain. Adora's concern was immediate, "Ethan, are you okay? What's wrong?"

He gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the agony. "I... I don't know, Adora. My head... it feels like it's splitting open."

Adora knew they had to act quickly. She whispered urgently, "Let's go to the college clinic, Ethan. Something's not right, and we need to make sure you're okay."

They moved stealthily through the dimly lit halls to the clinic, dread gnawing at their hearts. The clinic's door creaked open to reveal a nightmarish scene that would forever haunt their memories.

The once-sterile clinic had been transformed into a macabre chamber. Bloodstains marred the walls, candles flickered eerily, and arcane symbols adorned the floor. At the center of this nightmare lay their college professor, their trusted mentor, bound in chains and lost to insanity, muttering in a sinister tongue.

Around him, shadowy figures whispered chilling incantations, their presence suffused with malevolence. It was a ritual of unspeakable darkness, one that seemed to feed on the very souls of the students.

Ethan and Adora exchanged horrified glances, realizing that they had stumbled upon a malevolent force beyond their understanding. In silent agreement, they turned to flee from the horrifying scene.

Their footsteps echoed in the corridors as they ran, their minds racing to comprehend the horrors they had witnessed. The revelation that their college was entwined with such darkness struck them like a bolt of lightning. They had unwittingly become embroiled in a sinister web of secrets, and their lives were now in grave danger.

Vowing to uncover the truth and put an end to the horrors that their college had concealed for far too long, they decided to maintain their silence for the time being. They knew they couldn't confront the malevolent force head-on, not yet.

As they entered their next class, their voices were hushed, but their determination burned brighter than ever. Adora whispered to Ethan, "Our professor... he was part of that ritual. It's as if he's a pawn in this dark force's game."
