UNIT 1: THE INVITATION

CHAPTER 1:    3.17 AM

Charlotte wakes up from a vivid dream.......   Of standing on a marble staircase it seems like a huge mansion, but there's all pitch darkness, even though she sees a silhouette of a man as if approaching her his footsteps unheard... She can't hear a thing

Except a name... Evelyn.. Evelyn.... Evelyn...

Her eyes snap open at the thought of the nightmare coming true she rubs her eyes groggily and checks the time

It's 3:17 sharp..  too late for midnight too early for morning suddenly she hears someone knocking on the door... The knocking is gentle yet consistent

She opens the door hesitantly to see a man covered in a whole black outfit his face isn't visible but he hand overs a cremè coloured envelope and says

For Charlotte Hale.

Without saying anything else he vanishes in the fog.
