Lena's heart was pounding as she cautiously approached the door leading to the secret room. She could hear the faint sound of chanting coming from within, and her curiosity had gotten the better of her. Lena had to know what was inside.

She pushed open the door, and a wave of cold air rushed over her. The room was dimly lit by candlelight, casting eerie shadows on the walls. In the centre of the room was a large table, covered in strange symbols and candles. Surrounding the table were robed figures, all chanting in unison.

Lena's heart raced as she took in the scene before her. She had stumbled upon something she wasn't meant to see. But despite the fear that gripped her, Lena couldn't turn away. She had to know what the cult was doing in this secret room.

As she approached the table, Lena saw that there was an object in the centre, covered in a black cloth. The chanting grew louder, and Lena felt a strange energy pulsing through the room. She knew that she was in the presence of something powerful and dangerous.

With trembling hands, Lena reached out and pulled back the black cloth. What she saw beneath it made her gasp in horror. It was a human skull, with strange symbols etched into the bone. Lena's mind raced as she realised that she had stumbled upon something much more sinister than she had ever imagined.

Suddenly, the chanting stopped, and the cultists turned to face her. Lena knew she had been caught, and she scrambled to find a way out. But before she could make her escape, the cultists surrounded her, and Lena knew that she was in grave danger.

With a sinking feeling, Lena realised that she was trapped in the secret room, and the cultists had no intention of letting her go. She would have to find a way to escape and reveal the truth behind the secret cult at the mansion.
