He raised the potion to his lips and drank it down in one gulp. For a moment, nothing happened. The room was silent, each of them holding their breath as they waited for the curse to be broken.
And then, suddenly, they all felt it. A rush of energy swept through the room, lifting them off their feet and sending them spinning. The walls shook and the floor trembled, as if the very foundations of the house were being pulled apart.
And then, just as suddenly as it had started, it was over. The room was still.
“It worked,” Max whispered, his voice filled with awe.
The others looked at each other in amazement, their faces breaking into smiles and tears of relief. They had done it—they had broken the curse of the Harrington mansion. Now they just needed to convince Charles to leave.
Layla couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder as she looked around her. Everything seemed brighter and more beautiful, as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She turned to Jake, who was walking beside her, and smiled.
“We did it,” she said, her voice filled with happiness.
Jake grinned back at her, his eyes sparkling. “We did.”
They walked toward the Harrington mansion, each step filled with hope and joy. As they approached the front door, they could see the other members of their group waiting for them, their faces filled with anticipation.
“We did it!” Layla shouted, her voice ringing out across the lawn.
The others cheered and hugged each other, their hands clasping tightly. They had broken the curse. They still needed to get Charles to leave, but they all felt it should be easy after what they’d accomplished that night.
And as Layla and Jake settled down for the night, laying in his bed feeling the gentle breeze coming through the open window, Layla couldn’t help but think about Jake and the way he had stood by her side throughout the whole ordeal. She turned her head toward him, watching as he slept peacefully.
Without even thinking, she leaned over and pressed her lips to his, feeling a jolt of electricity run through her body. Jake stirred, his eyes slowly opening to meet hers.
“What was that for?” he asked, a sleepy smile on his face.
Layla grinned back at him, feeling her heart swell with affection. “Just because,” she whispered, before snuggling up against him and drifting off to sleep.
For the first time in a long time, Layla slept soundly, her dreams filled with nothing but happiness and hope for the future. The curse of the Harrington mansion had been broken, and she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she could face them.

The wind howled fromthe north, setting Layla’s pulse racing as she gazed into the distance. The sky was a symphony of oranges and purples as the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow over the sleepy town. Jake stood beside her, his strong arm wrapped protectively around her waist, grounding her in the present moment.
“Are you getting any visions, Layla?” Jake asked, his voice gentle with concern.
