Chapter 51 - The Darkness Gathering

Avery and Julian's new home was a beautiful secluded mansion on the outskirts of the meadow .They spent their days exploring the surrounding countryside , holding hands , and talking about their future .

But as the days passed , Avery began to feel a growing sense of unease . She couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched , that unblinking eyes were trained on them from the shadows .

One night , as they sat together on the couch , Avery felt the presence strongly . She turned to Julian , her voice barely above a whisper . " Do you feel that ?" she asked .

Julian's eyes narrowed , his gaze scanning the room . " Feel what ?" he asked .

Avery's skin crawled . " The presence ," she said . " It's like something is watching us ."

Julian's expression turned serious , and he pulled Avery close . " I'll protect you ," he said . " Whatever is out there , I'll keep you safe ."

But as they sat there , wrapped in each other's arms , Avery couldn't shake the feeling that they were in grave danger . The presence seemed to be growing stronger , more menacing .

And then , without warning , the lights flickered and died . Avery was plunged into darkness , her heart racing with fear .

As she clung to Julian , she felt a cold breeze sweep through the room , extinguishing the candles and leaving them in total darkness .

Avery's breath came in short gasps . What was happening ?

And then , she heard it . A low , menacing chuckle that seemed to come from all around them .

Avery's heart skipped a beat . They were not alone .
