An autumn gale shakes the trees as you step from the bus, a bundle of papers clutched to your chest. Ahead, a vast manor rises from the twilight, its iron gates shrouded in ivy and gloom—nothing like the quiet Elara you know from class. You climb the marble steps and knock. The heavy door swings inward to reveal a woman with alabaster skin and hollow, knowing eyes. A faint, unreadable smile touches her lips. "Ah. You must be Elara's classmate," she says, her voice like silk dragged over stone. "Do come in. I'll call for her." The foyer swallows the dying light as she steps aside, and from the stairs above comes the whisper of a footfall—too soft, too deliberate.
