Twenty-five years ago, I escaped. One of us didn’t. The third girl has been lying ever since.

Three best friends — Penelope, Emily and me. We were at high school in Tranquility Ridge — it’s not the kind of place you expect to find evil, a postcard town — all pine-lined streets, quaint diners, and old storefronts with creaky screen doors.

The day before my seventeenth birthday, Emily invited us to a party. That’s when we were snatched.

They shackled me to an old, rusty metal frame bed, wrists raw, ankles bruised. The music was always playing — too loud, too cruel. It wasn’t there to comfort. It was there to break me. I never knew who took me. I didn’t look. I never looked. They trained me not to.

Ever since, I've been haunted by the memories of the night I escaped, leaving Penelope behind. Her last scream still echoes in my nightmares.

For twenty-five years, I’ve been trying to move on. Now, a man turns up. He leaves a note from Emily on my doorstep.

Penelope’s still alive — find her!
