Chapter 1 - The Midnight Knock
The grand luxury American mansion was a cinematic fortress of terrifying power and impenetrable security. Dark wood paneling lined the massive executive hallway. Thick, elegant carpet absorbed all sound, while the heavy, relentless drumming of a late-night rainstorm battered the high, arched windows.
It was 2:00 AM. The entire estate was supposedly locked down and entirely empty, except for the heavily armed security teams patrolling the perimeter.
But right outside the heavy mahogany double doors of the master study, a fragile, deeply terrifying scene was unfolding.
Lily, a tiny six-year-old girl with brown hair, was standing completely alone in the dark hallway. She was wearing a pair of pale pink pajamas, trembling violently in the cold air. She was clutching a large white pillow tightly against her chest, her small knuckles turning stark white from pure fear.
She was the daughter of the new estate maid, and she knew she was strictly forbidden from ever entering the executive wing.
But she didn't have a choice.
Lily raised a trembling, tiny fist and knocked frantically, desperately against the heavy mahogany door.
