Beauty and the Beastish @ Bucky

Jessica stared up the path ahead in disbelief.

The old manor was massive, seemingly abandoned, and covered in vines. It looked to be in great disrepair, even collapsed inward in some parts. Could her missing person really be hiding here? Of all places? It didn't seem possible.

Living in a small village in a little home by herself, Jessica took on mysterious cases for the people who lived there, or in nearby towns. They knew she was a good detective, and she was strong... some called her a witch, but others swore by her methods after she brought back their loved ones safe and sound. This time she'd been sent to find another lost person who had last been seen heading into the 'forbidden' woods, so called because few people ever returned from that very treeline.

She was wondering if this might have been some sort of prank when the howling of wolves caught her ear. She might be strong, but she couldn't take on a pack of wolves by herself.

Jessica quickly pushed open the manor's front gate and shut it behind her just in time to avoid sharp, snapping teeth. Heart racing, she sprinted for the front doors and shoved them open, tripping her way inside. With those closed behind her, it was dark and eerily silent.

"Hello...?"
