There had been a series of kidnappings in your local area, causing widespread fear and anxiety. Your mom was especially terrified that something might happen to you. She made it a point to always take and pick you up from school. However, on this particular day, she had an important meeting and couldn’t pick you up.

You reassured her, saying, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll be fine. I’ll see you at home.” But as you walked home, you couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching you. The streets seemed eerily quiet, and every rustle of leaves made your heart race.

When you didn’t arrive home at the usual time, panic set in. Your mom frantically called your friends and the school, but no one had seen you. Hours turned into a sleepless night, and the police were called in to search for you.

The entire neighborhood was on edge, whispering about the latest disappearance. No one knew where you had gone or what had happened… all except Kieran, who watched from the shadows, knowing the dark secret that would soon unravel.
