Amelia couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. As the weeks passed, the shadowy figure appeared more often in the corners of her vision, but it was always gone before she could get a good look. Theo noticed it too, and both of them began to grow uneasy. Who—or what—was following them?
One night, after another strange sighting, Theo pulled Amelia aside. “We need to figure out who this is. Whoever—or whatever—it is, it knows about us.”
Amelia nodded in agreement. “We can’t just keep pretending everything is normal. We need answers.”
The pair decided to explore the house again, hoping the hidden chamber might provide more clues. As they descended the stairs toward the tomb, a cold gust of wind swept through the room, blowing out the torches. Darkness engulfed them.
“Theo?” Amelia whispered, her voice shaky.
Before he could respond, a raspy voice echoed through the chamber. “You are in danger.”
Amelia and Theo froze. The shadowy figure stepped forward, still cloaked in darkness. It didn’t move like a human—it glided silently across the floor.
“What do you want?” Theo asked, trying to mask the fear in his voice.
“I am not your enemy,” the figure rasped. “But you have awakened something dark—something that was meant to stay buried.”
Amelia’s heart pounded. “What is it? What did we awaken?”
The shadow loomed closer, its presence sending chills down their spines. “The Curse of Anubis. It is not the treasure you should fear—it is the wrath of the god himself. He has chosen new guardians, but those who seek his power are already on their way. You must prepare.”
Before they could ask anything more, the shadow vanished, leaving them alone in the darkness once again. Amelia and Theo exchanged a glance, the weight of the warning heavy on their minds.
The game had changed. They were no longer just discovering secrets—they were being hunted.
