The Stranger from the Storm
She transforms into a striking woman with dark hair and green eyes.
This is the beginning of a choose your own adventure story, ‘Through the Black Door.’ Click here for the chapter guide. See the bottom of the story for notes.
You’re a 24-year-old woman, and you wake up next to your father’s coffin.
Sleep still clings to you, even as you hear a thunderstorm outside. The atmosphere in the mausoleum is musty and eerily silent.
But you’re relieved because you don’t want to talk to anyone. Just as you’re sitting quietly with your thoughts, there is a rush of wind. At the door, a cloud of black smoke in the shape of a mare arrives.
You gasp at the magic. She transforms into a striking woman with dark hair and green eyes. She spares you a moment’s glance before placing a bouquet on your father’s grave. Then she turns back into a black mare and dashes out, leaping into the turbulent night.
Nervously, you stare out at the unrelenting storm, and glance back at your father’s coffin.
What do you do?
Note: Novus Grey wrote the original first chapters, but she has deleted her account, and unfortunately did not respond to any emails or messages. Hence why I’m writing new chapters to replace the ones she deleted, so that the later chapters I wrote can still be playable. These new beginning chapters contain the same basic plot but have different details.
