The Story

Welcome to Sunnydale Kansas, a town just as the name suggests. Bright and happy, with people to match. A farm town, everyone knows everyone and things get around quick. It's one of those towns people feel so safe and comfortable in, that no one locks their doors at night. Beautiful farmland, a peaceful little town and the forest that surrounds the town. To the youth that lives there though, Sunnydale is rather...boring. Nothing ever happens there. No excitement, no thrills, just the same mundane thing day after day. Most there are happy with things the way they are. The town doesn't get many visitors or new lives.

So when a new family moves in, people are all a buzz about it. Sad thing is, the son of the family doesn't feel the same, moving from the city. Hearing that nothing ever happens within this town, is not the best news. Arriving at the town, the new guy is instantly talked about within the school. Rumors begin going around that he's a bit odd. For standing out within the town, the newcomer is a mystery buff. With the push to make some friends from his parents, the newcomer decides to start a mystery club at the school. A few people join, some either as a joke, perhaps a hidden love of mystery as well, their reasosns their own. The beginning a slow start, and it looks like the club is doomed to failure.

That is, until someone mentions the old house within the woods. Being new of course, the head of the club has never seen this place. He's told a tale of how long ago, it was a supposid meeting ground for a secret society that practiced magic. The people of the town were afraid of them, because this practice brought about dark creatures and things that led to plenty of 'incidents' around town. The residents had finally had enough, leading to a mob heading up to the house within the woods. However, no one knows exactly what happened after that. It is rumored that the people of the society placed a curse on the town, unleashing a dark magic that killed all of them and caused the residents who were in the mob to become 'overshadowed' by dark creatures. Of course no one believes it, you'd have to be insane to believe that was real.

However, as a bet, the members of the club plan to meet up at the house in the woods after dark and explore it. Their first real mystery. Meeting up under the full moon, the team heads inside, noticing quickly the house is indeed chillingly eerie, but otherwise harmless. That is, until the discovery of a hidden room leads to the discovery of a book and an odd Pendant. The book can't be open right away, and upon better judgement, the pendant is disturbed. As soon as moonlight hits it, it sends a beam to the book, causing it to glow and open, sending a pillar of light into the sky that burns a hole in the roof and knocks all of them unconcious until morning. Waking up, the group fears being caught and in trouble. They head home, only to begin noticing things are a bit off with them. They now all have the beginnings of what appear to be...powers? They manifest themselves in different ways, but all of them are discovering them.

They meet up to talk about it, and decide to head back to the house. There however, they discover something really wrong. The house...is gone. With it, the book is as well, they try to tell the police, but of course they simply think their insane. The group tries to make sense of it, remaining at the school in an attempt to figure out what is going on. That is, until their attacked by a dark beast. It quickly becomes clear, that something is going on around town and with no one willing to help them, the group is on their own. As they search for answers, they begin to notice things around town, such as certain people have the same necklaces as the ones seen in the pictures at the house. The mark the necklace represents was supposed to be the man who owned the house's crest...and the symbol for the society. Not only that, but it randomly begins popping up around town as well. The group will have to make sense of things, while it becomes more and more apparent that there are those who would rather they not. Can they solve the mystery, or will everything fall apart?
