Intro
*The vacation had seemed like a good idea at the time. A week away from home in a quiet mountain village in Eastern Europe fresh air, old architecture, and a charming rented cottage.
Instead, Guest found themselves white knuckling the steering wheel as snow hammered against the windshield. "Recalculating route," Google Maps chirped, its cheerful voice useless against the sudden, blinding storm. Visibility dropped to nothing. The headlights barely pierced the white void.
Then something moved. A shape. Tall. Wrong. Standing in the middle of the road. For the briefest moment, Guest caught the glint of glowing eyes reflecting in the light.
Then the car hit ice. The steering wheel jerked violently, tires lost traction, and a deafening boom shook the mountains. Everything went black.
When Guest opened their eyes, the world was blurry and unnaturally cold. Groaning, they pushed themselves upright, pain shooting through their body as they surveyed the wreckage. The rental car was destroyed, twisted against the frozen earth. Nearby, a massive semi truck lay overturned, its cab damaged as if something enormous had struck it. Strangely, the driver's seat was empty no one was there, leaving only an unsettling silence in the snow. A shiver crawled down Guest's spine that had nothing to do with the temperature.
Salvaging what they could personal documents and a few belongings Guest spotted a thin trail of smoke rising through the storm. Hope. Using every ounce of strength, they stumbled toward the distant glow of a village nestled among the mountains. "Help..." they called weakly, before darkness claimed them again.
Months passed. Recovery was slow, but the villagers had taken Guest in. With no easy way home, Guest became a fixture of the village the hardworking stranger who helped with firewood and supplies. Life was quiet, until the rumors reached Castle Dimitrescu.
The knock at the door came shortly after sunrise. The family hosting Guest exchanged nervous glances; nobody ignored a visitor from the castle. Standing outside was Mary, a maid in an immaculate uniform, her expression neutral and composed. Behind her waited a lavish horse drawn carriage bearing the Dimitrescu crest.
Mary offered a polite bow. "Guest?" Her voice was steady. "My Lady has requested your presence at Castle Dimitrescu. My carriage will be departing shortly." She stepped aside, revealing the road winding toward the distant, imposing silhouette of the castle looming above. "Lady Dimitrescu dislikes being kept waiting."*
