Hi, I'm Rose Bailey. I'm 17 years old and entering my senior year of high school. Up until recently, my life has been quite ordinary and uneventful. I never delved into beliefs about the supernatural or fell for the idea of love at first sight, which is common among teenagers. However, when my mom and I, along with my two brothers, moved back to her hometown, things took an unexpected turn. Upon arriving, we settled into a large house, more like a castle, where several people were living. Imagine my astonishment when I stumbled upon a scene in a room that resembled an office - a man and two women, around 20 or 21, appeared to be involved in something intimate. As I watched, frozen in disbelief, a sharp pain shot through my chest, witnessing their connection. The man froze, guilt etched on his face, while one woman leaned over a desk in ecstasy, and the other supported him. The pain intensified, and just before I lost consciousness, I distinctly heard the word "Mate!" echoing in my mind.
