-------------------------------------

Everly is the next "bride of the beast," she is taken up the manor, and expects to be sacrificed, she survives, but meets a much worse fate the she had ever imagined.

-------------------------------

A wild beast had begun to attack our town, once every full moon, after it had its fill, it would calmly walk back up the hill, to the infamous Whitlock manor. It was rumored to be haunted. No one quite knew who had started the rumor, and no one had bothered to ask. It had been known forever, and everyone treated it as fact. Anyone ventured up to the manor, we’re said to be cursed. So no one in town dared to step foot inside, the seemingly empty manor. 


 One night, the town had agreed to try and stop the attacks. The beast would come down, and hunt soon, but what if we brought the hunt to the beast? What if we brought it a bride? A midnight snack? Would that quench its thirst? Would it still come down from Whitlock Manor? Those questions ran through all of our minds, as Ophelia Drillscoll, the first bride, was forced up the mountain by a few curious villagers, and left bound, at the foot of the manor. The village was not attacked that night.

The Beast Of Whitlock Manor

A loud bang at the front door interrupts my slumber. Shouting can be heard from outside. Villagers. I walked out of my bed-chamber to find Amora, waiting outside, about to knock on my door. "I hear people shouting outside, they seem angry." 


"Relax, it's none of your concern, I'll take care of it-" The front window can be heard shattering from downstairs. 


"What was that?!" Amora asks as I grab her hand. "There's no time to explain, we have to go now!" We take off running down the hall. Footsteps are quickly approaching in our direction. "We have to turn back." We turn back down the hall, and into Amora's bedchamber, I slam the door shut behind us. 


An exit. I have to find another exit. I look around the room, the only other way out is through the window. "Amora?" 


"Do you think you could fly us down?" I ask as I open the window.
