Adeline knight was a young girl who loved her little sister more than

anything. But one fateful night, everything changed when her little

sister went missing and was later found dead in a nearby lake. The

investigation team prohibited anyone from seeing the little girl’s

body, but Adeline’s heartbreak pushed her to take matters into her

own hands. Unable to bear the uncertainty, she sneaked into the

nearby ambulance where her sister’s body was being held. The sight

that met her eyes was beyond anything she could have imagined.

Her sister’s body was covered in burn marks and horrifying signs of

torture. Not a single inch of her skin was untouched by brutality. Her

organs were missing, and blood stained the surroundings, creating a

nightmare that would haunt Adeline forever. She stood frozen,

horrified and deeply traumatized by the sheer cruelty inflicted on her

sister. Despite the trembling hands, Adeline forced herself to steady

her nerves. She was filled with sorrow as she tried to understand what

could have caused such a terrible act. Why had her sister suffered so

much? She quickly left the ambulance and went home with her

parents, her mind was filled with pain and unanswered questions.

She had no idea this was just the start of a journey that would reveal

the darkest truths around her.

The next day, Adeline’s father told her that the police had closed

the case, claiming it was simply an animal attack. But deep down,

something didn’t sit right with her. She felt that there was more to the

story, something hidden beneath the surface of her little sister’s

death. Still, she pushed those thoughts aside. A few days later, after

a long and exhausting school day, Adeline was walking home when

she saw something unusual. A little girl, who used to live in her

neighbourhood, was strolling towards an old apartment building,

holding her father’s hand tightly. The walls were cracked, and the

place looked abandoned, as if no one had lived there for over a

decade. The sight sent a chill down Adeline’s spine. Something

about it felt wrong. Adeline was too scared to act, so she turned and

hurried back home.The next morning, Adeline woke up to the shocking news: the little girl she had seen was missing. A few days

later her body was found in the same condition as Adeline’s sister. A

chilling realisation struck her – this had to be connected to her sister’s

death. Something deep inside her snapped, and she knew she

couldn’t ignore it any longer. This time, Adeline knew exactly where

to start, She replayed everything in her mind and clearly

remembered the last time she saw that little girl – she was walking

into the old apartment with her father. A sense of unease grow inside

her, and she decided too investigate the apartment herself, hoping

to find clues that could help solve the mystery.

hope you all like this it's actually a short story.

That same day, she went inside the apartment. It was covered in

dust, as far as the eye could see. The furniture looked as though it

hadn’t been touched since the mid-80s. Despite everything,

something caught her eyes in the corner of the room. There was a

door, glazed over and secured with a password lock. Adeline found

it strange – why would there be a locked door with a password in

such an old, abandoned building? She couldn’t do anything about

it, though – she didn’t know the password. The sun was setting so, she

decided to wait outside the apartment for few days, hoping to

catch someone going in or out, or perhaps find some clues that

would explain the mystery behind that locked door.

Three days later, Adeline saw the bakery owner heading towards the

mysterious apartment. She followed cautiously, staying hidden in the

shadows. As he approached the door, she noticed him glancing

around before punching in a code on the keypad. Adeline held her

breath, her curiosity growing, and managed to catch a glimpse of

the password before the door opened and the man slipped inside.

For a moment, she debated following him, but the darkening street

reminded her of the time. Her family was probably started to worry.

Reluctantly, she decided to leave the mystery for another day and

went back home. The next morning, Adeline woke to the sound of birds chirping and a

crisp wind tousling her messy hair. The air felt fresh and full of

excitement, hinting at the adventure ahead. After freshening up and

eating a quick breakfast, she packed her bag carefully: a small

bottle of pepper spray, a sleek pocket knife, and a flashlight. She

needed to be prepared for whatever lay ahead. She reached her

destination, The apartment, it stood in front of her, its dark shape casting long shadows against the dangerous mountain behind it. It

looked scarier than ever. With a deep breath she approached the

keypad and entered the password she’d memorised. The door

unlocked with a faint beep, and her heart pounded as she pushed it

open. To her surprise, the door opened to reveal a long, dark tunnel.

Flickering lights lined the walls, casting shadows that danced in the

dim light. The air was cold and damp, filled with a strange and

metallic scent. The tunnel stretched deep into the darkness, too far

for Adeline to see What was at the other end. Her heart raced, and

fear gripped her, but she refused to turn back. Taking a deep

breath, she whispered to herself, “I have to finish this”. With her hands

trembling, she stepped into the tunnel, determined to uncover the

mystery once and for all. After what felt like an eternity, Adeline

reached the end of the tunnel and saw a strange, dim light. Was it

moonlight? But she had entered in the morning, and only an hour or

two had passed. Confused, she wondered why it seemed like night.

Curiosity overwhelmed her fear.

Thank you for reading!

She couldn’t resist the pull of the

light. Without a second thought, she began to run towards it, her

heart racing. The closer she got, the brighter it became, drawing her

in. She reached the end of the tunnel, but what she saw felt like a

thunderstrike to her senses. Before her lay a whole new world.

Towering, majestic buildings stretched into the sky. It felt like night,

yet she entered in the morning. A blood-red moon hovered above a

tall spire in the centre of the city. Adrenaline rushed through her

body as disbelief gripped her – she could hardly process what she

was seeing. As she stood frozen, she noticed people walking the

streets, all wearing plain masks. Their identities were hidden , but one

thing stood out – each person had a strange Tattoo on their neck, a

triangle with a snake wrapped around it. Adeline’s mind raced. The

sight was both fascinating and terrifying, leaving her a state of

shock. This placed was unlike anything she had ever known, and it

was somehow tied to the mystery of her sister’s death. With a mix of

fear and determination, she began to explore, hoping to find

answers. As she went deeper into the strange city, she stumbled

upon secret dealings – people selling weapons, exchanging

forbidden information, and much more. The underworld was alive

and thriving here, and Adeline knew that to uncover the truth, she

would have to dive deeper into its shadows. Adeline ventured deeper into the strange city, her heart pounding with both fear and

curiosity. Eventually, she stumbled upon an old building that seemed

like an abandoned house. She crept inside, her eyes widening in

horror as she realised what was happening. Human trafficking was

taking place right before her eyes. People were being sold like

property, treated as nothing more than commodities – slaves,

organs, lives, all being traded without a second thought. Disgust and

fear washed over her, but she knew she had to act. She quickly

pulled out her phone, snapping pictures of the transactions as

evidence. This had to stop, and the police needed to know. But as

she tried to leave, she bumped into someone, and her mask nearly

slipped off. Panick surged, but she calmly adjusted it, relived the

stranger hadn’t seen her face. As she adjusted her mask and looked

up at the stranger, an overwhelming sense of familiarity hit her. It was

as if she had known him for years. The strange connection was hard

to ignore, especially in such a dark place. Confused and distracted,

Adeline quickly shook it off. She couldn’t let her feelings cloud her

judgement. With a final glance, she hurries towards the exit, her mind

racing with questions she couldn’t yet answer. Overwhelmed, she

decided to rest for the night, planning to report everything to the

police with the evidence she had gathered the next day.

That night, Adeline couldn’t shake the thought of her sister suffering

at the hands of such cruel people. She knew their father, who loved

both daughters deeply, was the second person who cared most for

her sister. Before reporting to the police, she decided she had to tell

him everything first. He deserved to know the truth.
