twisted hate (part-2)
**Twisted Hate**
.
The sun had just begun its descent, casting long shadows over the small, secluded town of Ravenswood. The streets, lined with Victorian-era houses, were quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. It was a town where everyone knew everyone, and secrets were hard to keep. But beneath the veneer of tranquility, a storm was brewing.
At the heart of Ravenswood stood the imposing figure of the Blackwood Manor, a sprawling estate that had been in the Blackwood family for generations. Its dark, ivy-clad walls seemed to pulse with a life of their own, whispering tales of old grudges and hidden sins. And at the center of it all was Evelyn Blackwood.
Evelyn was a striking woman in her late thirties, with sharp features and eyes that seemed to see right through you. She had inherited the manor after her parents' mysterious deaths ten years ago, an event that had cast a long shadow over her life. The townsfolk whispered that the Blackwoods were cursed, that their lineage was tainted by a darkness that could never be escaped. Evelyn, with her stern demeanor and reclusive nature, did little to dispel these rumors.
Her only company in the vast, empty halls of the manor was her younger brother, Oliver. Oliver was everything Evelyn was not—kind, gentle, and deeply empathetic. He had always been the light to her shadow, the calm to her storm. Yet, despite their differences, they were bound by an unbreakable bond, forged in the crucible of shared trauma and loss.
But even the strongest bonds can fray under the strain of buried secrets and twisted hate.
It began with a letter.
One evening, as Evelyn was sorting through the day's mail, she came across an envelope with no return address. The paper was old, the ink faded, but the message was clear:
*"The sins of the past will be paid in blood."*
Evelyn's heart raced as she read the words. She had always known that the past would catch up with them eventually, but she had hoped that they could outrun it, bury it deep within the walls of the manor. She had been wrong.
The days that followed were a blur of anxiety and fear. Strange things began to happen around the manor—whispers in the night, shadows that moved of their own accord, and doors that creaked open on their own. Evelyn tried to dismiss them as figments of her imagination, but Oliver was not so easily swayed.
"We need to leave this place, Evelyn," he...
