Part 4: The Truth

The library’s discovery weighed heavily on Alex, Addison, and Matheo as they trudged back to the covered bridge that night. The air was colder than before, and the mist seemed thicker, swirling ominously around their flashlights.

“She said we had to find the truth,” Alex murmured, gripping the old article they’d found. “This has to be it.”

“We stick together this time,” Matheo said, trying to sound confident, but the crack in his voice betrayed him. “No splitting up.”

They nodded in sync, stepping deeper into the gloom. Every footstep echoed—creaking, uncertain. The bridge stretched on forever, the mist growing heavier with each step. The humming grew clearer now. It pulsed in Alex’s ears like a heartbeat not his own.

Midway across the bridge, the temperature dropped. Frost clung to the railing. Their breaths curled into the moonlight in pale clouds.

Alex’s flashlight sputtered once—twice—then steadied.

“Do you see that?” he whispered, raising the beam.
