She wasn't sure how long she had slept, but it was dark when Spencer woke up. she sat up in bed and looked at her clock. 12:10 a.m. Spencer looked around. Hadn't there been something that woke her up? Her mom maybe? No, not at this hour. But, she had heard something. A knock. A knock on her door. Maybe...her mom was still up for some reason? Spencer crawled off the bed and went to the door; but, as she reached for the handle there was a knock. Spencer jumped back, startled. The knocking quickly subsided. "Mom...?" Spencer asked. There was no reply. Again, she reached for the handle, but hesitated just before grabbing it. She waited. There was no sound, save her own nervous heartbeat. Finally, Spencer clutched the handle. Again, nothing happened. She began slowly pushing her door open. the hallway was black. Spencer nervously stepped out of her room. As she did, something crinkled beneath her foot. She stifled a surprised cry and and stumbled back. then, after recovering she bent down and picked up the object. it was thin and papery with a rectangular shape. She guessed it was an envelope, but couldn't really tell in the dark. She turned, shut her door and flipped her light on. she furrowed her brow and for some reason, a terror twisted in her stomach. It was indeed an envelope. It was black and her name was scrawled across it in crimson ink. She flipped it over. It had a fat seal of the same crimson color, with an ornate "V" stamped on it.
Spencer stared at it, afraid to look inside. Something in her screamed not to. But, she ignored the feeling, and broke the seal. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the hallway. It sounded as though someone had slammed the door to the attic. Spencer looked up. "The hell was that...?" she muttered and set the envelope on her bed. she walked to the door and opened it. Then she screamed.
