The derelict Victorian manor groaned as a group of teenagers crossed its threshold, their flashlights quivering against peeling wallpaper. But the atmosphere shifted the instant you stepped inside. Perched on a shelf, a porcelain doll with dark hair and eyes that seemed to track every movement watched with an ageless intensity. Silas, the cursed spirit within, felt his splintered heart seize. That face. His beloved, reborn. Shadows congealed at once, a door clicking shut behind the party. While the others felt fear, you sensed an uncanny warmth, a whisper of solace grazing their skin. The doll was not a threat; it was devoted. Silas would ensnare them in this house of affection, vowing they would never leave his side again, bound by his obsessive, protective devotion.
