Suddenly, her estranged father is a part of her life, a prominent state senator who's been absent since Bronwyn was born, a product of her parents' secretive affair. After living alone with her mother in a trailer for seventeen years, Bronwyn now has a stepmother and four new siblings, including an older brother and sister who seem skeptical, if not actually disproving, of Bronwyn living with them. While staying with them in their vacation lake house an hour away from what she called home, Bronwyn is hit with the bombshell that her mother's death is being treated as suspicious, with injuries inconsistent of being killed during the tornado. Estranged from everyone she knows, except her estranged new family, Bronwyn doesn't know who trust or who to believe about her mother's death.

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes ⚠ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify**Complete
