Rebecca Winters was sitting at the desk in her late father's study reading a book from his collection. She was about to turn another page when she heard a soft tap at the window. Tap. She glanced at the window and dismissed it as the big Oak tree's branches in the wind outside. She went back to reading. Tap tap. There it was again. Rebecca marked her page and strode over to the window, carefully moving the curtain. Nothing. She scoffed, feeling ridiculous. Since she was already up Rebecca decided to stoke the slowly dying fire in the fireplace across the room. As she placed the iron poker into the fire logs crackled and popped. With the noise of the fire Rebecca didn't notice the flutter behind her. She put the poker back in its holder and went back to the desk. A few feet away she stopped dead in her tracks. On the desk was an envelope that had definitely not been there before.
