It was raining heavily at midnight and the birds sitting on the trees started flying towards the sky due to the loud thunder. In mansion, a 36-year-old man was searching for something inside a large deserted mansion, going from one room to another. The man was wearing black clothes.

There was no one else except that man in such a big and luxurious mansion. There were lines of worry on the man's face and he was searching for something.

Even after searching every corner of the room, the man did not find that thing. Seeing this, the man immediately went to the fourth floor of the mansion. Just then his phone started ringing. Seeing someone's name on the cellphone screen, the man immediately picked up the phone without wasting time and heard a loud and angry voice from the other side. "What happened Jack?! Did you find the box or not?"

Hearing the man's voice, Jack said nervously, "No! Sir, but don't worry, I will find that box very soon and bring it to you!"

"Finish this work quickly, and yes, if you come without that box, I will not leave you alive!" Saying this, the phone gets disconnected from the other side. Jack wipes the sweat from his forehead and walks towards the corridor.

Then suddenly a foul smell spreads all around.

"What kind of smell is this? Maybe it is the smell of a rat being killed!" Saying this, Jack moves forward. While going from the corridor to the other side, many black shadows were also walking behind Jack. While walking, Jack goes inside a room, then suddenly the door leading outside closes with a loud bang and one by one all the lights go off. And darkness engulfs all around.

Seeing this, Jack immediately turns on the torch light of his phone and says in panic, "Who is it?"

Then a scary growling sound starts coming. Something like water was falling on Jack's head from above. Seeing this, when Jack put his hand on his head, his whole hand became red with blood. Seeing this, Jack's breathing slows down and his heart starts beating fast.

The Haunted Mansion

The moment Aarav's blood touched the black stone, a ripple of dark light spread through the chamber. The walls trembled, the floor cracked, and a low hum filled the air like a living heartbeat.

"It's… pulling something from me!"

The black stone melted like liquid glass, flowing into strange shapes and runes around Aarav's hand. Suddenly, an ancient voice—different from the monster's—echoed through the room:

"Blood of the Blackthorn… you are the lock and the key. Give what is owed, and the beast shall sleep."

"Aarav, it wants more blood. Maybe even… your life!"

"Then I'll give it. I can't let that thing escape, Maya!"

The chained monster outside let out a piercing roar, breaking free from some of the black chains. Its skeletal hand slammed through the wall, claws scraping inches from Aarav's face.

Maya screamed and picked up a sharp piece of bone, slashing at the hand. It recoiled with an ear-splitting shriek.

"Aarav! Hurry! It's breaking through!"

The runes on Aarav's hand started burning, drawing blood from his veins into the black stone. He collapsed to his knees, gasping.

"It's… taking too much. I can't…"

Maya grabbed his face, tears streaming.

"No! I won't let you die like this. There has to be another way!"

Her fingers brushed the stone—and to her shock, it reacted to her touch, glowing even brighter. A second voice whispered in her mind:

"Two hearts bound by trust… can share the weight."

Maya clasped Aarav's bloody hand with hers, letting the stone cut into her palm. Their blood mixed, and a wave of black energy exploded outward, slamming the beast back into its cocoon. The cocoon closed like a prison of bones, the creature screaming:

"This is not the end… you will come back… when the seventh mirror calls!"

The chamber fell silent. Aarav collapsed against the wall, pale but breathing. Maya held his hand tightly.

"Aarav… you scared me to death."

"Guess we make a good team… even when we're bleeding to death."

But as Maya looked down, she saw a strange mark on their palms—a symbol shaped like an eye inside a circle, glowing faintly.

"I think… it means we're part of the curse now."
