Before Aarav could speak, Elena stepped back.
"I'm sorry," she said.
The door slammed shut.
Aarav froze.
A speaker crackled to life.
"Aarav Wilson," a familiar voice said.
His blood turned cold.
It was his father's voice.
But it sounded… different.
"I had to disappear," the voice continued. "To protect you. Elena works for them now."
Aarav's mind raced. Who was lying?
Then the lights flickered on.
His father stood in front of him.
Alive."I had to fake my capture," his father said. "The only way to expose them was from inside."
Sirens echoed outside Raven Hill.
Police cars surrounded the mansion.
"The truth is out," his father said. "But now you must decide—do you want a normal life, or do you want to help me finish this?"
Aarav looked at Raven Hill one last time.
The mansion that held fear, lies, and truth.
He took a deep breath.
"I'm ready," he said.Raven Hill was sealed forever.
The town slowly returned to normal.
But sometimes, late at night, Aarav would receive letters—unsigned, mysterious.
Because some secrets never truly disappear.
They just wait.
The End.
