Chapter 6: Beneath the Manor
Claire and Samuel descend into the hidden passage beneath Blackwood Manor.
They find themselves in an old servants' corridor that hasn't been used in decades.
The air grows colder as they push forward, discovering remnants of past inhabitants—faded paintings, broken furniture, and an old lantern still filled with oil.
A locked iron door blocks their path, but Claire finds a rusted key hidden inside a hollowed-out book.
As they unlock the door, a gust of air extinguishes their light, and a distant whisper echoes down the corridor: You shouldn't be here.
Chapter 7: The Door to the Past
The iron door creaks open, revealing a tunnel leading deeper underground.
They discover an abandoned chamber filled with books, old artifacts, and a desk covered in letters.
One letter, dated 1892, mentions Eleanor Blackwood and a failed ritual.
As they read, footsteps echo from the tunnel behind them. They are not alone.
A shadowed figure appears at the entrance. The candlelight flickers—and the figure vanishes.
Samuel insists they should turn back, but Claire is determined to uncover the truth.
Chapter 8: Whispers in the Dark
The iron door slams shut behind them, sealing them inside.
They venture further, discovering another chamber where they find an old diary belonging to Eleanor Blackwood.
The diary reveals that Eleanor was trapped in Blackwood Manor against her will, attempting to escape but failing.
As Claire reads, a chilling whisper fills the air: You shouldn't be here.
Suddenly, the ground gives way beneath them, and they fall into an underground sacrificial chamber.
The chamber holds an altar with dark stains—evidence of old rituals.
The whispers turn into screams as the candles in the room are extinguished one by one.
Chapter 9: The Awakening Shadows
Trapped in the underground chamber, Claire and Samuel realize something is still watching them.
A cloaked figure emerges from the darkness, standing unnaturally still.
The whispers intensify, warning about the offering that failed.
Claire spots a hidden passage and urges Samuel to run. They escape just as the chamber begins to shake.
The passage leads them to an old study deep within the manor's foundation.
Inside, they find a portrait of Eleanor Blackwood—her lips slightly parted, as if trying to speak.
A letter warns them: Do not trust the caretaker.
The house begins to shift around them, forcing them to flee.
They finally find a wooden door that leads back into the manor—but when they turn back, the passage is gone.
They are back in the study, as if the tunnels had never existed.
Chapter 10: Echoes of the Past
Claire and Samuel realize that the manor is hiding something.
The portrait of Eleanor appears to be changing subtly—her mouth moving.
A book falls from a shelf, revealing The Blackwood Bloodline—Eleanor's name is there, but her death is unrecorded.
Another journal entry reveals the truth: Eleanor was meant to be sacrificed, but the ritual failed.
Her spirit remains trapped because the ritual was never completed.
Claire hears whispers behind the walls and discovers a hidden passage behind Eleanor's portrait.
Inside the secret space, they find a single set of footprints leading into the darkness.
Claire realizes: Eleanor is waiting for them.
