The Cursed
Every night, the whispers of the unseen haunt Eloise, a young woman blessed—or cursed—with the ability to see spirits. But when a persistent female ghost demands her help, her world spirals into a terrifying quest for justice. With her parents inexplicably gone and her family fractured, Eloise must uncover a dark secret from her past, a truth that might demand the ultimate sacrifice. Will she dare to face the ancient curse that binds her fate to the spectral world, or will the darkness claim her and those she loves?The chill of the pre-dawn hour clung to Eloise as she jolted awake, a scream lodged in her throat. Her gaze darted to the clock on the perforated wall: 3 AM.
It was just a dream, she told herself, clutching her chest, yet the unsettling feeling persisted. Then her eyes widened. A woman, clad in a dirty white dress, stood silently beside her bed, between her and Elena.
Eloise simply stared, trying to discern the spectral face, a memory of the recent nightmare flickering in her mind. She turned her back, pulling the blanket higher, a futile attempt to ignore the familiar presence. She was used to seeing souls, but this one whispered, a haunting echo in her ears:
"Help me... Help me! Take me up... I want to avoid being in this place..."
The plea was insistent, rising in urgency. Eloise sat up, scouring the dim room for the source. Her breath hitched. The female ghost was now right beside her, an unsettling companion in the space between her and her sleeping sister. She forced herself to remain still, battling the rising tide of fear. Sleep was impossible.
