Keisha Colins a girl with insatiable curiosity of what her next few months at the boarding house are gonna be like . Stepping out of the white Lexus onto the gravel path leading to Whispering Pines boarding house. A strange name right ? After bidding farewell with my parents I felt sad and quite excited and nervous at the same time. I'm here now .
The atmosphere was quite calm . The ancient oaks lining the driveway whispered secrets to each other ,their gnarled branches stretching towards the sky as if yearning to share their hidden knowledge.
Keisha's heart raced . She had chosen to live at this quite secluded boarding school for a reason - the rumors of it's mystical past ,the magic and more importantly to free the trapped soul, urgh an annoying Ilario !
Well the brochure promised an education beyond textbooks,a place where ancient secrets danced with modern academia. Well but it was the bracelet clasped around her wrist that held the key to her destiny.
As Keisha entered the ground foyer ,the bracelet pulses against her skin, it's gold links seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly light , something that it has never done before. She glanced around wondering is anyone else felt the energy humming through the air ." Ilario what's going on?
" I think we made the right decision by coming to the boarding house. I sense danger and the magic is still alive it just needs strong forces to bring it back fully.
The other students were chatting oblivious to the magic that clung to Keisha like morning mist . The headmistress Mrs Ophelia Ravenscroft ,greeted her with a knowing smile ,her eyes ,the color of storm clouds ,bore into Keisha's soul. " Welcome my dear" she said ." You are here for more than education, aren't you? Keisha's heart raced , what is this woman up to . " Miss Ophelia I'm only here for the education your schools offers " ,I replied" Mhh okay then young lady we will soon find out"!

The day went by so fast ,Keisha met her dorm mates ,some were friendly and some weren't but she didn't care ,she had better things to focus on.
Keisha was tossing and turning on her narrow bed ,the moon casting shadows across the room. The bracelet glowed , illuminating the ancient symbols etched into it's surface. She traced her fingers over them,feeling the pulse of forgotten magic . Keisha sighed . " Ilario this bracelet is becoming strange all of a sudden it's glowing and drawing in magic ,it's scaring me "...." Well let's get used to it I'm sure it's leading us in the right direction I wanna leave this dark place. " Ilario replied." I guess " Keisha said as she closed her eyes .

As the clock struck midnight,the room shifted . The walls blurred , Keisha found herself standing in a moonlit courtyard. The oaks whispered louder now ,their leaves rustling like ancient scrolls . And there ,beneath the gnarled branches stood a figure ,a woman with eyes like starlight. Keisha's heart raced. She felt cold sweat fall from her forehead ,she slightly pinched herself 'ouch' she felt pain meaning this is real .
" Keisha " the woman said ,her voice echoing through time. " You seek the truth ,follow the bracelet,unveil the secrets woven into this place.
Keisha's heart kept racing . She glanced down at her wrist and the bracelet led her towards the old chapel ( The heart of whispering pines).....
