....Jessy's POV....
The darkness has been haunting my mind for so long. I've wandered through this abyss, holding onto the belief that there's light at the end of even the darkest tunnels. As I press on, I stumble upon an ancient, foreboding castle. This recurring vision of mine always halts at this point. From when I was a 16-year-old girl to now, as a grown woman, I've dreamt of this place. Today, though, I'm determined to confront this enigma.
I cautiously swing open the gate, and to my amazement, I find myself in what seems like a magical castle adorned with statues resembling animals. Though fear still grips me, a spiritual force compels me to continue. A door creaks open before me, and with slow, deliberate steps, I venture into the darkness. As I move forward, an eerie sensation starts to envelop me.
But then, an unexpected terror strikes. I can sense a presence drawing near, yet I'm unable to see who or what it is. Panic surges through me, paralyzing my voice. My tongue feels like it's frozen, and I tremble uncontrollably. In the dimness, the silhouette of a figure emerges before me. "Why have you come here?" the shadowy human form demands, their voice sharp with intensity.
