Ava's point of view
Days passed, and Elijah's behavior grew increasingly erratic. He'd disappear for hours, only to return with a haunted look in his eyes.
I sensed he was hiding something, but he refused to open up.
One night, I decided to follow him.
Elijah led me to the outskirts of town, where a grand estate loomed. I recognized the Blackwood crest on the gates.
As I watched, Elijah slipped inside.
I hesitated, wondering if I should investigate. But my curiosity got the better of me.
I snuck in, finding myself in a labyrinthine hallway. The air reeked of secrets.
Suddenly, I stumbled upon a room filled with newspaper clippings and photos. Elijah's face stared back at me, alongside headlines:
"Blackwood Heir Linked to Mysterious Disappearance"
"Family Empire Built on Shadows and Lies"
My heart racing, I realized Elijah's family was involved in something sinister.
A hand closed over my mouth, and I was dragged into the darkness.
"Elijah, is that you?" I whispered.
But the voice that replied sent chills down my spine.
"No, Ava. You're in my world now."
