Kathrine had no idea how she managed to drive all the way to the Bennett mansion.
Her mind had gone blank the moment Roseline's call ended. Instinct had taken over—nothing else.
But the second she stepped inside, an eerie silence crept over her.
The house felt… wrong.
Roseline's phone continued to ring in her hand, but there was no answer.
"M-Mom?" Kathrine called out, her voice trembling slightly as it echoed through the empty hall.
No response.
Her grip on the phone tightened as panic began to rise in her chest.
She dialed again until a faint sound reached her ears.
A ringtone. Distant. Coming from somewhere deeper inside the house.
Kathrine froze for a split second before following the sound, her steps quick and uneven.
Her breathing grew heavier with each step and the ringing became clearer the more she closer but then—
Her steps slowed and her heart dropped.
'Blood.'
Dark, smeared streaks of blood stained the floor.
