Buried Things

Some things should stay buried. Three simple rules to follow, three simple rules Veronica broke. Now, trapped with a powerful, ancient vampire she helped resurrect, Veronica must navigate a treacherous world of dark magic, family secrets, and her own growing desperation. Can she save her brother from a fatal illness, or has she unleashed a far greater evil upon herself and the world?

The damp soil clung to your shovel as you dug, the night air thick with the scent of earth and decay. It was 2:30 AM, a time you never imagined spending in a graveyard, but desperation was a powerful motivator.

There was no turning back. With the crowbar, you struck the ancient coffin, shattering the lid. Inside lay a man, perfectly preserved despite being buried for years. He was still. He was dead. Until your father chanted, squeezing the hex bag.

His eyes snapped open, fixing on you. And then, he lunged.
