Darkness

Previously

…The killer was not a phantom of the night, but a very real, very terrifying presence stalking their streets. The police were working, but their efforts seemed like grasping in the dark. For Dean and Alyson, the locket was no longer just a trinket; it was a beacon, a silent promise that the truth, however dark, lay hidden within its tarnished depths, waiting to be uncovered. They looked at each other, a silent pact forming between them. They would not let fear paralyze them. They would dig deeper, no matter the cost. The locket, a tangible link to the unfolding horror, was their only lead, and they would follow it until they unmasked the darkness that had descended upon Oakhaven.
