Rain lashed the windshield as Lena killed the engine, the wipers' final squeak echoing in the empty night. She grabbed her bag, boots crunching gravel, heart pounding from the six-hour drive. The porch light flickered like a dying pulse.

The front door hung ajar, hinges groaning in the wind. 'Mom?' Her voice cracked, swallowed by the house's stale breath—damp wood and forgotten lavender. No answer. She stepped inside, floorboards creaking underfoot, shadows pooling in corners.

Kitchen light spilled yellow across linoleum scarred by years. A half-eaten plate sat cold on the table, fork poised mid-bite. Lena's fingers trembled as she touched the edge—still warm. Footsteps? No, just the fridge's low hum. But her skin prickled.

Upstairs, the bathroom door stood open. Water dripped steadily into the sink, pooling crimson-tinged on porcelain. Lena froze, pulse roaring. 'Mom!' She bolted down the hall, shoving open the bedroom door. Empty bed, sheets twisted like a struggle.

On the nightstand, a photo: her as a teen, arm around a boy she'd buried in memory. Back scrawled in faded ink: 'He knew too much.' Her stomach dropped. The clink again—from the closet. She yanked the door wide.

Her mother huddled inside, eyes wild, clutching a shattered glass. 'Lena... you look just like her.' Shards glittered on the floor, blood trickling from her palm. 'Like who?' Lena whispered, kneeling. The old woman's gaze darted to the window.

Outside, headlights pierced the rain, sweeping the lawn. A car door slammed. Footsteps on gravel. Her mother's whisper cut the air: 'He's here. The one who made me hide you both.' Lena spun toward the stairs, shadows lengthening as boots thudded below.
