Emilia Grey, at twenty-five, led a quiet life in Crimson Bay, where she shared a modest apartment with her cat Luna The monotony of her days was shattered when a letter arrived from a lawyer, summoning her to his office. There, she learned of an inheritance that would change everything: her grandfather's old house in the fields of Ravens Peak.
It was peculiar Emilia had never known her grandfather, George Grey. Her parents, who had died three years prior, never spoke of him. Curiosity piqued, as she made the journey to the dilapidated house. The structure stood lonely and decrepit, with paint peeling off its walls like dead skin. A sense of foreboding lingered in the air as Emilia explored the grounds. In the distance, she spotted an old shed, locked tight and shrouded in mystery. Though unease settled in her stomach, she dismissed it as mere nerves.
Determined to make the best of her inheritance, Emilia moved into the house and began renovations. But as she stripped away the layers of decay, strange occurrences began to unfold. Nightmares plagued her sleep, vivid and chilling. A girl in a floral dress haunted her dreams, her presence unsettling and inexplicable. The connection between this spectral figure and the house eluded her, yet it gnawed at her sanity.
As Emilia delved deeper into the house's secrets, she couldn't shake the feeling that her grandfather had hidden something sinister. The locked shed beckoned to her, a beacon of unresolved mystery. What secrets lay buried in the fields of Ravens Peak, and how were they intertwined with her family's dark past? The answers awaited, lurking in the shadows of her newfound inheritance.
