The day after her escape, Nora couldn’t stop replaying everything in her head. The Shadow was more than just a person; he was part of a network, a secret group that controlled the town from the shadows. His influence reached deeper than she ever imagined, and Ivy had been trying to get out of it all.
Nora sat at her desk, scrolling through Ivy's social media again. This time, she was looking for something new—something she'd missed before. In one of Ivy's old posts, there was a photo of a hidden symbol carved into a tree. It looked eerily similar to the one on Ivy’s bracelet.
Nora’s fingers froze on the keyboard. The symbol.
She opened Ivy’s journal again, skimming through the frantic entries. Ivy had mentioned the symbol multiple times, each time growing more desperate. “They’re watching me,” one entry read. “I can’t get out. The symbol is their mark. It’s how they know where I am.”
A chill ran down Nora’s spine. The symbol was more than just a sign. It was a beacon, marking people who tried to leave the group.
“I have to go to the cabin again,” Nora whispered. The answers were all there. Ivy had left behind the clues. It was just a matter of finding them.
