"Leo's innocence was shattered the day he witnessed a horror he could never forget which he wished so badly his innocent eyes didn’t witness  . His elder brother, once a guiding light, plunged a knife into their father's chest, and walked away with a chilling smile. Leo, still a child, was frozen in terror, his playful nature replaced with a haunting dread. He hid in the shadows, his camera still rolling, capturing the sinister act.

As the brother vanished, Leo crept out from under the table, his legs trembling like leaves. He approached his father, whose eyes pleaded for silence. "Dad, what happened? Should I call for help? You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear.

"Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life." With those final words, his father's eyes glazed over, and he slumped back in his chair, leaving Leo alone with the weight of a dark secret."

Fell for the vampire devlish smile

Emily's family welcomed her with open arms, their faces etched with concern. "Emily, dear, it's time to come home," her mother pleaded, her voice trembling. "This life isn't for you. You're not cut out for it."

Emily's resolve hardened. "I need time to think," she said, her voice firm but polite.

Her family reluctantly accepted her decision, and Emily threw herself into her maid chores, seeking solace in the familiar routine. As the sun dipped below the horizon, she slipped into the garden, seeking solitude.

The evening air was heavy with the scent of blooming flowers, and the soft chirping of crickets provided a soothing melody. Emily wandered along the winding path, her thoughts consumed by Leo, Victor, and the tangled web of intrigue.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Emily's heart skipped a beat as she took in the old witch's wild gray hair, her eyes glinting like stars in the fading light.

"Child, I've been waiting for you," the witch croaked, her voice like the rustling of dry leaves. "You possess hidden powers, powers that can change the course of your destiny."

Emily's laughter was nervous. "I'm just a human, ma'am. No magic runs through my veins."

The witch cackled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ah, but that's where you're wrong, child. Your bloodline holds secrets. Secrets I can help unlock."

Emily's mind reeled, but she shook her head. "No, thank you. I don't need—"

"Think about it, Emily," the witch interrupted, her voice dripping with an otherworldly wisdom. "The night will reveal truths to you."

Emily fled the garden, her thoughts swirling. She couldn't shake the witch's words, the tantalizing promise of hidden powers.

As she lay in bed, staring out the window, the dark sky seemed to press down upon her. The stars twinkled like diamonds scattered across the velvet expanse, and Emily felt infinitesimally small.

Sleep claimed her, but it was fitful, plagued by nightmares.

She dreamed of Leo's eyes, cold and unforgiving, as he turned away from her. Victor's laughter echoed through the darkness, his eyes gleaming with malevolence.

Emily's heart racing, she bolted upright, her sheets drenched in sweat. The room was shrouded in darkness, the only sound the creaking of the old mansion.

And then, a faint whisper seemed to caress her ear: "Emily, your destiny awaits."

As she strained to listen, the whisper vanished, leaving behind an unsettling silence.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a figure loomed in the shadows.

"Emily," a low voice whispered, "it's time to wake up."
