The Second Night
The wind howls through the midnight pines, carrying with it a chilling, unnatural silence. Deep within the treeline, shadows gather and whispers clash in the dark. Cold eyes lock onto a unsuspecting cottage, yet the forbidden words fall silent. Murmers ripple through the circle, the dark ritual breaks, and the shadows melt back into the fog without striking a single blow.
Before dawn, a solitary figure slipped into the meetinghouse, seeking absolution through a quiet confession. Yet, as their parchment was unsealed, it was deemed unnecessary—a watchful eye had already been cast over their soul through the dark.
As the morning bell tolls over Salem, the town square fills with tense, weary eyes. The Magistrate takes his post, scanning the crowd as villagers hesitantly open their doors to inspect the morning light.
To everyone's shock and relief, every single door opens.
No one was killed during the night.
Whether saved by divine intervention, silent guards, or sheer luck, all nine villagers have survived to see Day 3. But as accusations hang heavy in the air and old grudges remain, the reprieve will be short-lived.
