Cryptic Academy stood in eerie isolation at the edge of the city, its grand facade hiding the chilling secrets whispered by those who dared speak of it. Flanked by the forbidding Hollow Woods, the school's dark reputation was no urban legend-students who wandered too close to the forest had vanished, leaving only unanswered questions behind. Yet, for Annie, there was no choice. Her parents, struggling with low wages, could afford no other option. As she stepped into the shadowed halls of Cryptic Academy, she felt the weight of its sinister past pressing in around her. What mysteries awaited her in the gloom? Would she uncover the truth-or become just another name lost to the darkness? The answers lie deep within the woods, where survival isn't promised, and curiosity could be deadly.
