EMILY, a brave and curious young woman, enters the living room cautiously. She carries a flashlight, casting a beam of light on the decaying furniture and faded wallpaper.

EMILY
(whispering)
There must be something hidden here, something they don't want us to find.

As Emily searches, she notices a peculiar painting on the wall.

What's happening?

Emily's breathing quickens. The whispers grow louder, echoing through the mansion. She stumbles backward, her heart pounding.

EMILY
(screaming)
Stop! Leave me alone!

Suddenly, the floorboards creak, and a figure emerges from the shadows. It is a GHOSTLY APPARITION, its face twisted in anguish.

GHOSTLY APPARITION
(in a chilling voice)
You've awakened the forgotten.

Emily freezes in fear as the ghostly apparition floats closer.

GHOSTLY APPARITION (CONT'D)
You shall suffer as we suffered. Forever trapped, forever tormented.

Emily frantically searches for an escape route, but the doors and windows are sealed shut. The whispers continue to grow louder, filling the room with a cacophony of dread.

EMILY
(teary-eyed)
Please, I didn't mean any harm. Let me go!

The ghostly apparition reaches out, its touch icy cold. Emily gasps as a mark appears on her arm—a mark that seals her fate.
