Mina was born with a certain ability that no one else had. She could see and communicate with the dead. For years, her parents thought she was lying. But as it turned out, she told the truth after she was able to tell them both that their respective grandmothers had to tell them about the old house Mina's father used to live in as a child, and how they both knew her father's father would surely pass soon.
Soon had turned out to be a solid 6 years, and at the age of 18, she and her parents had soon moved down south to live in the large, old plantation home her grandparents lived in. It was beautiful, and she couldn't lie that she didn't like how it looked. Though, it was really large. Perhaps too large for her and her parents to live in. Once she had moved in, she could sense that something was different.

Mina had believed the story to be just that, a story. But it wasn't until one night where she knew something was off. She woke up in the middle of the night, and she felt a chill in her bedroom. She furrowed her brows, confused as to where the chill had come from, and soon watched as the white sheer curtains in her bedroom window had been blowing gently in the chilly midnight breeze. She slowly got out of her bed, and walked over to the window to close it when she spotted something down at the lake. Standing near the edge of the lake was a figure, one that was of a young man. He looked to be no older than 18, 19 at the least, and he was staring at the lake somberly.
