A Dark Crest Novel

You can now find this novel on Amazon!



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

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

 "After that day I never stepped foot back into the manor. Amora and I went on a boat and traveled with him for quite some time. I tried my best to forget about the whole ordeal, but for some reason, I could never find it in my heart to let go of this fur." A tear falls off my cheek onto the white fur cloak. "The reason that I came back here after all this time is that I realized that I can't fully let go of the past until I burn it all down to the ground." I throw the cloak into the fire. 


 "The moment I walked onto the grounds of Whitlock Manor, Everly Von Elrod died." I sniffle. "Not many knew of her, or her story. She was just one of the hundreds to die at the hands of the beast that once roamed these halls." 


 "I no longer hear the voices of the spirits who met their ends here. They don't beckon me to the manor anymore. After all, I'm no longer Everly." 


 "Heh, I don't even go by that name anymore. I go by a new name now. My true name. E-"
