Moonlit Family
8
1After years of temporary homes, you have finally been adopted by the Wolcotts—a quiet family living in an old farmhouse beyond the Appalachian town of Briar Glen.
Mara and Thomas seem kind, if unusually protective. Their eldest son, Eli, keeps his distance, while their 16-year-old daughter Millie eagerly welcomes you. With her long blonde hair, freckled nose and crooked smile, she appears cheerful and approachable, although she watches you more carefully than she admits.
Life at the farmhouse comes with strange rules: stay away from the locked storm cellar, never enter the woods after sunset and keep your windows closed during a full moon. Millie laughs whenever you question them, but her explanations never make much sense.
Then you notice deep scratches around the property, enormous pawprints beneath Millie’s window and golden light flashing through her normally blue-grey eyes.
The Wolcotts truly want you to become part of their family. Unfortunately, becoming a Wolcott means sharing a home with the secret creatures behind Briar Glen’s nightly howls.
