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.
