Chapter 1 - Shadow of the Foresaken

Prologue: The Final Warning

A woman, Marianne Holloway, desperately scratches a message onto a wooden door as shadowy hands drag her into darkness. The last thing we hear is her scream before the mansion falls silent.

Decades later, journalist Elena Graves receives an anonymous letter:

"The truth is in the walls. Find it before it finds you."

Her curiosity leads her to Black Hollow Mansion, where she plans to uncover the truth.

Act 1: The Arrival & First Signs of Horror

 • Elena arrives in Black Hollow, a town that refuses to acknowledge the mansion's existence.

 • The only person who speaks to her is Ezra Kane, an elderly man who warns: "Once you enter, you'll never leave."

 • Ignoring the warnings, she steps into Black Hollow Mansion, where the air is cold and suffocating.

 • The front door slams shut behind her, and the house grows eerily silent.

Act 2: The Unraveling of Reality

 • Elena explores the decayed mansion, finding rotting furniture, broken mirrors, and children's toys covered in dust.

 • She discovers a diary belonging to Margaret Holloway, who lived here decades ago.

 • Margaret writes about shadows whispering her name.

 • She warns: "If you listen too long, they take you."

 • As Elena reads, she hears her own name being whispered in the empty house.

 • She tries to leave, but the front door is gone—it's now just a solid wall.

 • The windows show nothing but endless blackness outside.

 • She runs upstairs, only to find her own footprints already in the dust—as if she's been here before.

Act 3: The Escape Attempt

 • Elena finally finds a locked basement door, behind which she hears faint crying.

 • Inside, she discovers an old wooden door covered in scratches—the same one from the prologue.

 • The words "It feeds on us. We are Forsaken." are etched into it.

 • She forces it open and finds a chamber filled with lifeless figures—The Forsaken.

 • The figures turn their heads toward her, their hollow eyes filled with sorrow.

 • The walls begin to shift, closing in on her. The whispers grow louder:

 • "Stay with us."

 • "You belong here."

 • As she screams, the shadows engulf her completely.

Epilogue: The Next Victim

 • Days later, the mansion is silent again—just as if nothing ever happened.

 • The story ends with another person receiving an anonymous letter:

"The truth is in the walls. Find it before it finds you."

Finality of the Horror:

 • Elena never escapes. She has joined the Forsaken, another lost soul swallowed by the mansion.

 • The cycle continues, as the house waits for its next victim.
