Episode 9: The Book of Futures
The library seemed endless, its shelves breathing with secrets. Dust curled in the candlelight as Emma bent to pick up the fallen book. Her fingers trembled, but curiosity rooted her in place.
The open page no longer showed her at the bronze door—it had changed. Now, the drawing revealed her sitting at a table inside this very library, a quill in her hand, ink spilling across parchment.
Emma swallowed hard. “It’s alive,” she whispered.
The stranger’s footsteps echoed softly as he entered the room, closing the hidden door behind him. “It doesn’t just record,” he said, his tone steady. “It writes ahead. The mansion sees what you might become.”
Her pulse quickened. She turned more pages. Each one revealed a scene she hadn’t lived—yet. In one, she stood on the balcony of the mansion, gazing down at the city as though she ruled it. In another, she held the bronze key close to her chest, her eyes alight with something between power and surrender.
But the last page made her drop the book.
It showed her standing before a grand black door, larger than any she had seen so far. The stranger was beside her, his hand on hers, guiding her toward the lock.
Emma’s breath caught in her throat. “What is this?”
The stranger crouched to lift the book, his gaze lingering on the final drawing. A faint smile curved his lips, unreadable and unsettling. “It is the door you were meant to open. The mansion chooses its path. And it has chosen you.”
Emma shook her head, backing away. “No. This is impossible. How can a book know my future?”
“Because,” he murmured, placing the book back on the table, “your future was written here long before you arrived.”
The candles flickered violently, as though stirred by an unseen hand. The air grew heavier, the weight of destiny pressing in on her. Emma wanted to run, but the bronze key pulsed in her pocket, a constant reminder that she had already chosen this path.
The stranger extended his hand, palm open, steady. “You can close the book, or you can live it. The choice is yours.”
Emma’s gaze flicked between his hand, the glowing key, and the drawing on the final page. She felt the pull of inevitability, strong and merciless.
And though her lips refused to form the words, her heart already knew: the black door was waiting.
Conclusion :
The mansion has revealed Emma’s destiny—standing before the black door.
👉 Would you dare to open a door if you already knew it would change your life forever?
