Lucia sat on her desk and wrote into her journal. She spent already so much time traveling the world, that she decided to finally write it all down. As she was writing did she notice that something was off. There was a strange presence in the Air. After a while did she became certain that it came from the front door.

She truly wanted to stay away from whatever was waiting for her on the other side, but her curiosity got the better of her. Slowly did she walk to the door and grabbed her old knife. Ready to stab any kind of fate, that came her way. One breath later, did she open the door. Leaving her a bit dissapointed, as she stood alone in the entrance of her house.

Looking around, did she found a Letter, addressed to her by a stranger. She wondered if she should follow that invitation to a Spa resort or not. Then again, she could reall take that break. So, she looked up the adress and booked herself a flight. The British country side wasn't something she expected. Still, the travel to that old Mansion was a delight for her.

And so she walked the final part of her journey, entering the Lobby with her suitcase. "Ah, miss Maxwell i suppose." the receptionist said and welcomed Lucia. "Do we know each other?" The Receptionist smiled. "No, but every other guest has called that they will be late and only get here over the next few Days."

"Days, you say. Are there any other guest here?" Lucia asked while looking around. "No, the Whole Castle has been booked for your Event. Its truly been a while." the receptionist said and showed Lucia her room. "So, this happened before?" she asked. The Receptionist, laughed. "Of course. But that question means, you came here without being aware and thats just precious."

Before Lucia could ask anymore, did the Receptionist vanish. Lucia decided to not bother with asking anymore questions and grabbed a towel. It took her a few minutes, but she found the entrance to the hot springs. She looked out of the Large window and difference between the countryside she was admiring and the artifical hotspring she was enjoying.

After a few minutes of floating on the water did she dive to the bottom. Finally allowing her senses to strech out. There was something going on in this, Castle and she had to figure it out. Before she could fully formulate her resolve did a pair of hands grab her and pull her up. "Careful young Miss, we wouldn't want you to drown here." A mans voice said and covered her with a fresh towel. Once she wiped the water out of her eyes, did she thank the Man.

"So, who are you supposed to be?" she asked. "Well, i am Jeff. I am the Janitor around here and i just wanted to make sure, that there are no ghost playing in the Hotsprings." he said and looked her up and down. "Luckily, that doesn't seem to apply to you." he said and turned around. "Still, i have work to do. So, maybe we will see each other again."

Lucia pulled the towel closer. Ghosts, that would be the least of her problems, she guessed. Which lead her to visit the old Library of the Castle. It took Lucia a while, but she found books about the grusome history of the Castle. She had to laugh as she found, what she was searching for. "Really, a classic Ritual for immortality. And they think i would play the role of the untouched Maiden." she said to herself.

With that, the Lights inside the Library went out, leaving her in complete darkness as someone grabbed her Body. Lucia snapped out of it, as the Receptionist snapped her fingers. "Everthing alright, a handful fuses broke and the lights went out." she said and watched as the lights turned back on.

Lucia looked at her. She was to small to be the hands, she thought. Lucia followed the Receptionist out and tried to ask questions about the history of the Castle, but the receptionist kept it close. From that point, Lucia was sure that she would be completly on her own.

Once the night came, did she grab her Knife and sneaked back to the Library. It was pretty easy for her to find the Secret entrance and decided to check out the secrets of this Castle.

She light up the room with the Flashlight of her Smartphone as she noticed all the torture devices standing around. Waiting for their next victim.

She heard a motion from one of the corners and got closer. Inspecting a closed Iron Maiden. Then it was there again. Lucia was certain that there was someone inside and trapped. Carefully did she open the doors and looked inside. As she looked around the empty inside, did something hit her head. She felt her body being pushed inside and hundreds of little needles started to pierce her skin, as the last remnand of her mind faded.
