A brother and his younger sister are orphaned when no older than 7 by an unknown disease that even killed some nobility. The brother goes to the castle to ask for a room while the sister goes to pick berries for them to eat.
The King noticed the boy at the gate and for whatever reason, decides to adopt him. The boy, afraid that his sister wouldn't be accepted, keeps her a secret and sneaks her into the castle where as he is trained to be a guard to the Prince, teaches her how to hide in the shadows of the rafters in the vaulted ceilings, forever sentencing her to watch the nobility and fear that one day someone will look up and see her.
Now she is 19. The king who adopted her brother has died and the Prince has taken his place as King. Many things are changing with the new, benevolent King, but she never thought that her secret would be one of them.

(Will there be smut? Yes.) (Preferably this is mostly a Mr. Crawling/reader, but I'm MORE than willing to make different routes for each character.) (has gore, death, blood. this also has multiple endings.) (the game was female targeted, so I write the reader as female. the characters that are introduce also can get a ending based on Romance.) cover not mine.Complete

Death
Fifteen years ago, Shadyside High School was the scene of a tragic and mysterious accident that left six students dead. The authorities called it an accident, but dark rumors have swirled in the small town ever since. Many believe it was part of the "Shadyside Curse," a dark legacy that targets those who dare to uncover its secrets. Today, a new group of teens-Mali, Cici, Romana, Alanna, Ariel, and Austynn Clevaya K'Lynn Rose-stumble upon an old journal hidden in the school's dusty basement. The journal belonged to a former student named Paris, who was a friend of the students who died. In her writings, Paris hints at a terrifying force that claimed her friends one by one-and may still be lurking. Soon after they find the journal, eerie things start happening to the group. They see shadowy figures out of the corners of their eyes, hear their names whispered in empty hallways, and find cryptic messages scratched into their belongings, warning them to "Stay away from the Hollow." But curiosity wins over caution, and the friends decide to investigate "the Hollow"-a wooded area behind the school where Rose hinted that the dark force originated. One foggy night, the group ventures into the Hollow, convinced they'll find answers. But the deeper they go, the more terrifying their surroundings become. An unnatural chill fills the air, strange symbols are carved into the trees, and each of them begins to hear voices that sound eerily familiar. As they try to make sense of it all, Mali finds a connection between one of them and the original tragedy, a secret that one of their parents has kept hidden. Tensions rise, paranoia sets in, and they realize that the curse isn't just some story. It's real-and it's hungry.Complete
