When circus sensation Penelope Young's fiancé is murdered the night of her biggest show ever, and her life goes downhill from there, what is she to do?
***
Ex circus performer Penelope Young lost her long term career at age 21, after her fiancé of 3 years died mysteriously. As expected, she's torn and still facing grief from the news, even a year later. Since his death, she wasn't sure what she'd do with her life to move on- and her dream job gone-, until her best friend convinced her to go to The Devil's Eye, a night of scary sights and haunted houses celebrated once every year, on Halloween.
Penelope doesn't see the point in The Devil's Eye, she's never really into horror like her best friend, so she tries to leave. Until she gets stuck in a particular haunted house that is like a maze; The Cursed Forever. Named after the founder of the festival who was mysteriously cursed and killed just a few years later, and she's spooked out of her mind, until a handsome stranger agrees to help her out, but at a price. Her.

"Oh terror... you have no idea, do you?" The man says in a low, deep voice as he slowly approaches me, causing me to back away until my back is pressed against the cold bricks of the familiar wall in this maze of hell, and he smiles softly but wickedly when I stutter out a small sentence "wh-what... k-k-k-know wh-what?" His deep chuckle echoes through the haunted house, seemingly bouncing from wall to wall, making my ears ring. He looks me dead in my eyes as he takes a long stride toward me and whispers against my lips "I'm extremely possessive of what's mine."
