The rain lashed against the tall windows of Blackwood Manor. Inside, a single candle flickered beside the body of Ashworth. His cold hand still clutched a torn piece of parchment. The message was written in a hurried, shaking, bloody hand. Detective Elias Thorne arrived as the storm reached its peak. He knew immediately that this night would change everything forever. The heavy oak door groaned open behind him very slowly. A young maid stood there, trembling in her simple nightgown. Her pale face was streaked with tears and dark mascara. She whispered that she had found him just after midnight. Thorne knelt beside the body and studied the fatal wound. A single silver letter opener protruded from his chest area. Strange symbols were carved into the polished wooden floor nearby. They formed a circle that seemed to pulse with energy. Thorne felt a chill run down his spine right then. This was no ordinary murder committed by some random madman. Something ancient and terrible had awakened inside this cursed house. Outside, the wind howled like a beast hungering for souls. The detective knew the killer was still inside the manor. He drew his revolver and prepared to face the darkness.
