Episode 2
Let's begin our first chapter

Sienna Ardent
You won’t believe what happened today.
Olivia
Let me guess… another ghostly whisper in that old library of yours?
Sienna Ardent
No, this was different. I found a letter. An actual letter, hidden inside one of the books.
Olivia
Okay, that’s kinda cool. What did it say?
Sienna Ardent
That’s the creepy part. It was addressed to me… but it’s OLD. Like, handwritten in ink, with my name on it.
Olivia
Wait. WHAT? Who wrote it?
Sienna Ardent
There’s no name. Just a weird signature at the bottom—some sort of crest. And the words… it said: "The blood calls to its own. You are closer than you think."
Olivia
Okaaaay… I take back my joke. That’s legit terrifying. Are you sure someone’s not messing with you?
Sienna Ardent
I don’t think so. The paper feels ancient. It smelled like old parchment. And get this—when I touched it, I swear I felt a chill go up my spine.
Olivia
You need to burn that thing. I’ve seen enough horror movies to know where this is going.
Sienna Ardent
No way. I need to find out who wrote it.
Olivia
Or you could, you know, NOT poke the supernatural bear.
Sienna Ardent
I have to. Something about it feels… familiar. Like I was meant to find it.
Olivia
Sienna… be careful.
[Later that Night – Sienna’s Room]
Sienna sits on her bed, staring at the letter under the dim light of her desk lamp. Her fingers trace the old ink. The air in the room suddenly turns cold. Her window rattles slightly, though there’s no wind outside. A shadow flickers in the corner of her vision.
Sienna Ardent
(whispers) Who are you?
A faint whisper echoes back, almost too soft to hear:
_"You will know soon, Sienna…"_
Sienna’s breath catches in her throat. The letter in her hands suddenly feels warm, as if the ink is coming alive. She drops it, heart pounding.
Something… or someone… is watching her.
