Amelia Carter stood in front of the towering brick building, her heart racing with anticipation. Anubis House. She had heard stories about it—the legends, the secrets, the students who had uncovered unimaginable truths. As the new year began at Amun Boarding School, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about this place was calling to her. It wasn't just the rumors that drew her in—it was the unexplainable dreams she’d had all summer. Images of ancient hieroglyphs, dark corridors, and a voice whispering her name.
“Hey, you must be Amelia.” A voice broke her thoughts, and she turned to see a tall, athletic boy approaching. His messy hair fell into his eyes, but the smile on his face was genuine. “I’m Theo. Welcome to Anubis House.”
“Thanks,” she replied, forcing herself to focus. “Do you know much about this place?”
Theo raised an eyebrow. “Depends on what you mean. If you’re talking about the legends, then yeah. Everyone knows about them. Weird stuff happened here years ago. Some people think it’s just stories to scare the new kids, but others say the house is still hiding things.”
Amelia glanced at the house again, the weight of its history pressing on her. “I guess we’ll find out.”
