Chapter 1:
1847 and it was dark and stormy night at the Jackson manor. Mr. Jackson sits in his study frantically writing a letter as sweat drips of his furrowed brow and tears stream down his aged cheeks.
"I must hurry and finish this letter, this is of extreme importance. If you read this I am either long gone or dead. They are coming, coming for me I have no time to explain but this is what I can tell you. I have stolen something that is worth more than any jewel or any amount of money. I do not have much time before they come for me. I must acknowledge the corn and carry this as my own burden. I have left is this Manor and all the belongings in it you, but it is up to you to decide if you want it to heed with caution. I have no will, no family so I leave all my possessions to whoever may find this but in this I warn you I comes with a price, a price that no man should pay, but many seek. You shall get all the riches you wish, and anything you desire, but for the rest of your life and for generations to come you will have a horrible secret that you must keep, you must never tell anyone. Once you die you must pass this on to your first born son and so forth. Between these walls, I have hidden a secret that you cannot even begin to imagine but if you wish to stay alive, you must protect it with your life. If you own this house or any possessions in it, you shall not take it out of the walls for if you do a hell will be brought down on you. You must also be careful to hide this from others, never tell anyone about this except your first-born son. I must go now. They are here, head my warning or you shall live a life of misery." Signed Francis Jackson III.
