Lilla went deep into her quest to uncover the truth about the disappearance of her sister Chloe, she turned to the villagers for answers. With furrowed brows and anxious hearts, they told about Chloe’s last observations before she disappeared without a trace.

One elderly villager with a weathered face, lined with wise wrinkles, quietly told me that he saw Chloe wandering near a farm on the outskirts of the village. Her gaze was distant, as if she was lost in thought before she disappeared into the overhanging shadows of the nearby forest. The memory sent shivers down Lilla’s spine, and the pieces of the puzzle slowly fell into place.

Another villager, a kind soul with a twinkle in his eyes, shared a chilling story about how one fateful night he heard screams echoing through the dense foliage of the forest. His heart began to beat with fear as he described how a terrified dog with wide eyes jumped out of the darkness.

Lilla listened intently to every word, her resolve growing stronger with each revelation. The pieces of the puzzle were coming together, painting a picture of an ominous event unfolding on the outskirts of the village.
