Chapter 28 - The Book of Shadows

The room was dimly lit, with candles flickering like fireflies in the darkness. The air was heavy with the scent of old leather and decay. In the center of the room, a pedestal stood, and on it, a book lay open.

The pages were yellowed and worn, filled with strange symbols and diagrams that seemed to shift and writhe like living things. Emily's eyes were drawn to the book, feeling an unsettling connection to it.

The figure released her arm, and Emily approached the pedestal, her heart pounding in her chest. As she looked down at the book, she saw her own name written in the margins, in a handwriting that wasn't her own.

Suddenly, the pages began to turn on their own, revealing dark secrets and forbidden knowledge. Emily felt a chill run down her spine as she realized...

The book was about her.
