The hunt for answers

CHAPTER 3:THE HUNT FOR ANSWERS
Desperate for answers, I searched the mansion. Whispers surrounded me:
"Find the mirror, Emily... Face your destiny..."
In the attic, I discovered an antique mirror with a message etched onto the glass:
"Reflect your soul, Ravenwood"
Images of my family's dark past assaulted my mind: brutal rituals, dark aura, and my own destiny
The mirror shattered, leaving a message:
"Three nights to surrender Or forever trapped"
Chapter 4: Confronting the curse
With time running out, I spent hours researching our family's history. At midnight, I confronted the darkness head-on.
A figure emerged from the shadows, tall and gaunt. "You dare to confront the past?" it asked. I stood firm:
"I refuse to surrender".
The entity sneered: "Your family's debt must be settled. The past is coming to hunt you".
I countered:
"I'll pay with knowledge, I'll use my brain, not my heart; my mind is my currency".
The entity presented a riddle: "What can be broken, but never held? What can be given, but never sold?"
I had a thought, if the debt was not paid there was no trust maybe this is the reason why I'm being haunted. No trust.
My mind racing, I answered: "Trust". The entity nodded: "Correct"
The curse was lifted, and my family's debt is paid.
