I lumber back into my room when I heard something.

We are coming for you.

It's probably nothing. I thought to myself. But I didn't feel so sure.

I walk out of my room and quickly text our group chat, consisting of me, Samuel, Lou and Jess,
I heard something, going to look. Come. ASAP.

This will be easy as everyone lives nearby.
In ten minutes I hear a knock and the three of them clamber into my room. I grin at them.

"so what particularly did you hear?" Lou asked.
"I heard someone saying 'we are coming for you' I also heard it before we left the basement." the three of them give an odd look as I remember that I hadn't told anybody of the noise. " I will explain later"

"Cassie this is serious." Samuel comes in front of me.

"I know but," I take a pause "I will explain after" I say with a note of defiancy. I move past. I see a tunnel. "What the fuck?" I say, clearly confused. I hear a scream.

"Alright. We should leave. Jess says, she is shaking with fear.

Not so fast Jessica Wonsworth.

" holy fuck it knows my name! No one knows my name! " jess whimpers.

I see something in the distance.

" is that blood? " I say, there was a red liquid on a wall with two symbols on it.

"that's my family symbol!" Samuel says "but what is it doing on the walls of your Manor?"

"Hello Darlings" I hear a voice say. Its a posh, feminine voice.

"bloody hell" Lou mutters.

"and I have your friend, Jessica."

"Richard?" I say as soon as I see him. tears are strolling down jess's face.

"Richard!!!!!!" jess is full on crying now. the three of us share a very confused look . When did they get along? I thought. She runs to him. Richard is tied onto the floor, he has a bloody face and I can understand why jess was so upset. speaking of jess, the two were in a position on the floor, they were mumbling incoherent things to eachother and eventually, they kissed. I smile at my cousin and her fiance. but someone comes and drags Jess up by her collar, tearing the two away and throwing her onto the floor. I try to go and comfort her but someone comes and pushes me back.

"What is your reason for this? And who are you?" I ask. The woman's lips crept up into a smile.

"did your mothers ever tell you about how they had a fourth sister?," but before I could shake my head she barked out "NO! Everything was to be given out to the good and well behaved girls, the darling and delightful sisters, your mothers had the reputation. GOOD MATILDA! GOOD ELIZABETH! GOOD CHARLOTTE!
NEVER GOOD ANGELINA!! LET ME TELL YOU THE REASON THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ME GIRL!!!" her shoulders sank." they shunned me, I was the black sheep of the family, I ran away with a man when I was sixteen, because I simply had enough of it! I came back, telling your mother, who I expected to be understanding, but she refused to have anything to do with me. I went to collect my inheritance but I was taken out of the will. I survived the wild for years. I bet you don't know what the wild is. Do you? "the woman froze" tears fell down her eyes as she searched me. And as l looked into her eyes, I noticed how they went from loathing to sadness. She stood up and almost immediately collapsed only just breathing out an

I am so sorry.
