Whispers of the Veiled Curse

By Snow Cold

"There's no escape from the family curse," Mother whispers as I step into the crumbling Highland estate, her grip on my wrist like a vise of forgotten sins. I've come for a reunion, but the air tastes of decay and dread, and something ancient stirs in the shadows, calling my name in a voice that's not quite human. I try to ignore the cracked mirror reflecting my face twisted into an eyeless grin, the floorboards moaning like dying breaths, and the whispers that coil in my ear, promising horrors I can't yet comprehend. But as the night deepens, the veil between worlds thins, and my "Yes?" unleashes a nightmare that devours us one by one.

Every day I fight to protect my cousins-Javier with his ritual scars, Mei bound by vows she can't break, Liam trusting too much-from the spectral abomination born of centuries of betrayal. I uncover the twisted pacts where kin sacrifice kin, the flayed healer whose vengeance pulses through our blood, and the living girl-fiend who possesses us in a chorus of accusations. But my mother's crimson secrets seal my fate, turning me into the curse's monstrous host, my skin weaving into a veil that hisses "See you soon" to the next victim.

I reassure myself: they don't know the darkness I carry from our multicultural legacy.

They don't know what I'm capable of...
