The engine cuts, silence swallowing the night as Destiny Salvatore steps out of her car, the Salvatore Boarding House looming ahead like a ghost from a century past. Thirty years of absence dissolve in the Virginia air. She crosses the threshold, the familiar scent of dust and old secrets wrapping around her. In the dim living room, she pours a glass of bourbon, her hand steady despite the turmoil within. The shadows stretch long and cold. Then, a voice, smooth as velvet and sharp as a blade, shatters the quiet from the darkness behind her.
