Blair Bathory

As I turned to leave, I tried to shake the lingering unease. Maybe she's harmless, I thought. But the thought felt hollow. That night, the dream returned. This time, the darkness was heavier, thicker. I couldn't move, couldn't even turn my head. The whispers were louder. forming a cacophony of voices that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.

The shadows reappeared, but now their forms were clearer. Gaunt faces with hollow eyes, their mouths stretched unnaturally wide as they chanted. I was lifted weightless and dragged toward the circle's center. A blinding red light erupted above me, and the shadows fell to their knees. Bowing its source, my skin burned as the light grew brighter.

Searing into my eyes, the chanting turned into laughter, deep, guttural, and cruel. I woke up with a start, my body drenched in sweat, the echo of laughter still ringing in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I realized the nightmare wasn't over. My arms were bound tightly to something rough and splintered, rope bit into my wrist, and my mouth was gagged.

The smell of smoke and damp earth filled my nostrils. My vision was blurry, but I could make out figures moving in the flickering torchlight. James stood at the center of the circle, cloaked in black. His face was gaunt, his eyes shadowed and hollow. His teeth gleamed, unnaturally sharp, as he smiled. This wasn't my brother. Behind him, Imelda emerged, her bare feet silent on the damp ground.

Her flowing black dress shimmered in the torchlight, her hair cascading like waves of ink. She moved with a predator's grace, her lips parting in a grin that revealed long, sharp fangs. I thrashed against the ropes, panic surging through me. James began to chant, his voice low and guttural, the words foreign and sinister. The other figures joined him, their voices rising in unison.

Imelda approached, her eyes locked on mine. "'Don't fight it,' she whispered, her voice smooth as silk. "'You'll understand soon.'" Her cold fingers brushed my neck, and I shuddered violently, trying to scream against the gag. Her grin widened as she leaned in, her fangs glinting in the torchlight.
