Hey there, Ravenswood fans. Thank you so, so much to everyone who was kind enough to leave a review last chapter. I really appreciate it - so much so that I was inspired to write another one. So here it is, and I hope you enjoy it! Please do let me know what you think.

Now that I'm dead, life seems so much brighter.

When I first came to Ravenswood, it made me shudder. Everything was so cold, so gray, even when the sun was shining, like it wasn't sure it was meant to be here. I know that feeling all too well. But here, wherever Here is, it's brighter, and I can see

lights on the edge of my vision

a shimmery haze in front of my eyes

glimmering shadows of other spirits

and it would be kind of beautiful, if I wasn't so terrified all the time. I can still see the darkness in Ravenswood, but it's tainted now; tainted with light. But it's the kind of light that makes it seem more sinister, like it's just a façade to stop us from looking too deep. I'm going to look, though. It's the least I can do for Caleb and the others, the ones who still have a chance.

The whispers have been getting louder, and sometimes I'm even able to make out a word or two, like

dead

curse

pact

the usual horror movie stuff. I should probably tell Caleb about it, but I'm not really sure how to bring it up. 'Hey, sorry to just drift through the walls and drop by like this, but I think you're in horrible danger'? That'll go down well.

I think something's going to happen soon, something big. There's a kind of restlessness around me, passing from one spirit to the next, and even though I haven't actually come into contact with any of them yet, it's passed to me anyway. It makes me uneasy, unsettled, and I've been wandering a lot.

I can't go beyond the graveyard gates, and meandering among the tombstones isn't exactly relaxing. But there's enough rooms in the house to explore, and there are a couple that other spirits won't even go into.

But no matter where I go, I know I can't escape whatever's coming.

And I know we're not ready for it.
