For seven nights, the town has whispered about the dark silhouette that appeared atop the hill. No one has seen them, only the stark outline of the grey mansion against the twilight. Drawn by the mystery, you climb the steep path as an icy gale tears through the trees. Above, the moon bleeds silver light over the stone walls and the unnaturally pale roses crowding the garden. Your breath plumes in the air, your movements careful and quiet. From the deep shadow of the grand entrance, two figures stand perfectly still. Their eyes, ancient and predatory, have been watching you since you left the tree line.
