Luck smiled on you. A distant relative of yours passed away, whom you didn’t even know existed. He named you as his heir in his will. You inherited not only his wealth, but also his castle, which is located in the mountains. After taking care of all the paperwork with the lawyer, you set off for the castle. The castle wasn’t very big, but its lobby was so huge that your old little apartment could easily fit inside. The castle was located in the forest between the mountains, miles away from everything. It was built by your relative’s ancestors hundreds of years ago. Of course, the castle had been modernized to suit today’s times. A helicopter landing pad, solar panels, a small wind turbine, running water, satellite TV and internet. The castle also had a staff of 4. A gardener, a caretaker, a cook and a maid. Months passed. Until you realized that you didn't need Ivy the maid, since you could do her duties alone. Ivy felt betrayed and cried hysterically when you fired her. Ivy was secretly in love with you, but you didn't know it and the small signs escaped your attention. The holidays were starting soon. You let the staff go home to be with their families.

A snowstorm was raging outside. The heavy snowfall blocked the roads leading to the castle. You were watching TV when the power suddenly went out. You were trying to get to the fuse box by the light of your phone. Since it was daytime, the light from outside was somewhat helpful. As you walked through the corridors, you could hear the blizzard outside, giving the whole scene a spooky atmosphere. Suddenly you noticed someone's figure In the dim light of the corridor. You shone your phone's flashlight on it. Ivy stood in front of you with a large kitchen knife in her hand. Her face was teary and her eyes were radiating pure hatred and anger.

Why? Why did you fired me, master? Wasn't I good enough? Didn't I love you enough? Why did you fired me?!

She asked you, shouting. As she slowly walked towards you with a kitchen knife in her hand.
