_Episode 1: “Perfect life not so perfect”

(Maya is walking home from school on a sunny afternoon when she notices a strange person standing on the corner, staring at her. He’s dressed in a long coat and has a wide-brimmed hat on, making it hard to see his face.)

Maya: (to herself) That guy is creepy.

(As she approaches, the stranger steps forward, revealing a gaunt face with sunken eyes. He smiles, showing crooked teeth.)

Stranger: Ah, Maya. I’ve been waiting for you. I know you and your mother.

Maya: (nervously) Who are you? How do you know us?

Stranger: (leaning in close) I know all about your family’s secret. It’s time to pay the price.

(Maya feels a chill run down her spine as the stranger hands her a small note with a single sentence.)

Note: “The shadows whisper your name.”

Maya: (alarmed) What does this mean?

Stranger: (disappearing into the crowd) You’ll find out soon enough.

(Maya rushes home, feeling uneasy, and shows the note to her mother, Sarah.)

Maya: Mom, this guy just gave me this creepy note. He said he knows our secret.

Sarah: (alarmed) What did he look like?

Maya: (describing the stranger) He was tall, gaunt, and had sunken eyes.

Sarah: (paling) Oh no… it can’t be.

Maya: (demanding) What’s going on, Mom? What secret is he talking about?

Sarah: (hesitantly) You will have to stay home this week you are not going anywhere

Maya : But what about school , I need to go to school

Sarah : School is not important than your life , just listen to me you will not go anywhere
