The cellar air is damp and cold. The black cat—Thackery—stands between you and the way out, his golden eyes burning with a betrayal that has simmered for centuries. They catch the shuddering candlelight. A low, guttural hiss rasps from him, pure rage given sound. Behind him, the shadows stretch and twist, echoing the old curse Winifred once spoke. He is not the brother you remember. He is a vengeful spirit caged in fur, and he is here to make certain you never leave again. The weight of three hundred years of hatred presses down on the room, leaving no space for breath.
