Ethan's phone buzzed with an urgent text from Ava:
"Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight. I found something."
Ethan arrived at the clock tower, the misty rain casting eerie shadows. Ava was already there, her eyes wide with fear.
"What is it?" Ethan asked.
Ava handed him a cryptic message:
"The Shadow claims its next victim at midnight. You're on the list."
Suddenly, footsteps echoed through the tower. Lew and Emily appeared, followed by Mrs. Jenkins.
"You shouldn't have meddled," Mrs. Jenkins hissed, her eyes gleaming with malice.
The group realized they were trapped. The clock struck midnight.
Shadows moved, and a figure emerged. The Ravenswood Ripper.
Ethan pushed Ava behind him. "Run!"
The group fled, pursued by the killer. Lew fought back, but the Ripper overpowered him.
As Ethan and Ava escaped into the night, Emily screamed.
"Emily!" Ethan yelled, rushing back.
The Ripper's laughter echoed through the streets.
