Prologue

As Sarah drives into the small, isolated town of Hollow Creek, she feels an unsettling presence lurking in the air.

She inherits a dilapidated mansion from a distant relative, the townsfolk whispering about its dark past.

At night, the house creaks and moans, but Sarah brushes it off as the old structure settling.

A dusty antique mirror catches her eye, reflecting a shadow that vanishes when she looks closer.

Sarah visits the local library and discovers a series of mysterious disappearances linked to her family.

A figure appears at the edge of the woods, watching her intently before disappearing into the trees.

She finds an old diary belonging to her ancestor, detailing rituals meant to protect against evil.

The town prepares for an annual festival, but Sarah senses a darker purpose behind the celebrations.

Strange shadows dance along the walls, and whispers fill her ears, calling her name.

A local woman warns Sarah to leave Hollow Creek before it's too late, her eyes filled with fear.

Sarah has a vivid nightmare about a girl trapped in the woods, begging for help.

At the festival, Sarah feels an inexplicable pull towards the town's center, where the rituals take place.

She starts hearing voices from the mirror, urging her to uncover the truth about her lineage.

Research reveals that her ancestors were involved in dark practices, binding spirits to the land.

Determined to break the cycle, Sarah prepares for a counter-ritual during the next full moon.

During the festival, Sarah confronts the town leaders, who reveal their true intentions.

A trusted friend betrays Sarah, revealing her plans to the townspeople.

Sarah flees into the woods, pursued by townsfolk who want to keep their dark secrets hidden.

She discovers a hidden grove where the spirits of the missing are trapped, pleading for freedom.

To free them, Sarah must confront her family's dark legacy and make a harrowing choice.
