When Bethany Arrived as a Special Guest In Wayne Party...! 😱
🌙 When Bethany Arrived as a Special Guest in Wayne’s Party… 😱
The night Wayne threw his legendary summer party, the entire neighborhood buzzed like a shaken soda can. People whispered about the lights, the music, the guest list—and of course, the mysterious “special guest” Wayne teased on every invitation. No one knew who it was. No one dared to guess.
But everyone felt the same chill of curiosity.
Inside the mansion, Wayne paced back and forth, glancing every few seconds at the giant clock above the fireplace. The moment it struck nine, the doorbell echoed through the halls like a warning bell.
Wayne froze.
The crowd fell silent.
The door creaked open.
And Bethany walked in.
✨ Chapter 1 — The Arrival
She stepped into the room like she owned the air itself—long black coat draped over her shoulders, eyes glowing with an unreadable intensity. Her heels clicked against the marble floor, each step sharp enough to slice the silence in half.
Wayne swallowed.
He had invited many people in his life, but never her.
Bethany, whom he hadn’t seen in four years. Bethany, the one who disappeared without explanation. Bethany, the one everyone thought was gone forever.
Someone whispered,
“Is that… really her?”
Someone else gasped,
“She looks exactly the same… no, even younger.”
Bethany’s lips twitched into a faint smile, acknowledging the shock in the room. She walked straight toward Wayne, stopping just inches in front of him.
“Miss me?” she asked softly.
Wayne’s heart drummed like thunder.
✨ Chapter 2 — The Secret Behind Her Invitation
Wayne had invited her because of a message—an anonymous letter delivered to his doorstep two weeks earlier. It said only:
“If you want answers, invite Bethany. Midnight. Don’t be late.”
For days, Wayne debated burning the letter. The last time Bethany had been in his life, trouble followed her like a shadow. But the urge for truth won.
Now seeing her again, he wasn’t sure if he had made the right choice.
“Why are you here?” Wayne finally whispered.
Bethany leaned closer, the lights reflecting in her strange, silver-tinged eyes.
“You’re in danger,” she replied. “And I’m the only one who can save you.”
The crowd erupted in murmurs.
✨ Chapter 3 — The Party Turns Cold
The moment Bethany said those words, the music cut.
The chandeliers flickered.
Guests huddled together, sensing the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
Bethany glanced toward the windows. “He’s already here.”
“Who?” Wayne asked.
Before she could answer, a low rumble rolled across the sky—yet the weather app had promised a clear night. The windows rattled as something huge swept past the house.
Bethany grabbed Wayne’s arm.
“We don’t have time. You kept something you shouldn’t have, Wayne. And now he wants it.”
Wayne’s mind raced.
It.
He knew exactly what she meant—the wooden box he found in the abandoned cabin last month. The one he never managed to open. The one that seemed far older than the forest itself.
“You brought it here?” Bethany said sharply, reading his expression.
Wayne nodded.
Her eyes widened.
“That was a mistake.”
✨ Chapter 4 — The Shadow Arrives
A crash shattered the window nearest the dance floor. People screamed and scattered as cold wind tore through the room. In the broken frame stood a figure—tall, cloaked, and faceless.
The Shadow Keeper.
Bethany stepped in front of Wayne.
“Stay behind me.”
Wayne wanted to protest, but the look in her eyes—ancient, fierce—was not human.
“Bethany,” the creature hissed, voice like sandpaper on metal.
“You cannot protect him.”
“Watch me,” she growled.
And for the first time, Wayne saw it:
Bethany wasn’t just the girl who vanished years ago.
She was something else—something powerful, dangerous, and far from ordinary.
✨ Chapter 5 — Midnight
Bethany raised her hand, and the chandeliers flared back to life, blazing like miniature suns. She pushed Wayne toward the staircase.
“Go get the box. We end this tonight.”
“But—”
“Go!”
He sprinted, the house trembling with every step the Shadow Keeper took.
When Wayne returned, breathless and clutching the wooden box, Bethany was locked in a glowing standoff with the creature. The guests had all fled or hidden, leaving the mansion eerily quiet.
“Open it,” Bethany commanded without looking at him.
“I—I can’t—”
“You can. It only opens at midnight. That’s why I’m here.”
Wayne’s fingers shook as the box clicked apart for the first time.
Inside was a single object:
A shimmering silver key.
Bethany’s voice dropped to a whisper.
“The key to his prison. The one you accidentally weakened.”
The Shadow Keeper lunged.
Bethany snatched the key, drew a glowing symbol in the air, and slammed the key into the floor.
A blinding flash filled the room—
a roar—
a scream—
and then silence.
✨ Chapter 6 — Aftermath
The Shadow Keeper was gone.
The mansion was still again.
Wayne stared at Bethany.
“How did you… what are you?”
Bethany dusted off her coat.
“Someone who knew this day would come.”
“You saved me.”
She shrugged slightly.
“Someone had to.”
“But… why did you leave all those years ago?”
Bethany paused, eyes softening.
“To protect you from exactly this. And now that the key is safe again…”
She glanced toward the door.
“I should go.”
Wayne reached for her hand.
“Stay. Please.”
Bethany hesitated—just for a moment.
Then she smiled, a real, warm smile he hadn’t seen in years.
“Maybe,” she said quietly, “I’ve been gone long enough.”
