Chapter 7 - The Man in the Black CoatThat night, the power went out.
The entire estate plunged into darkness.
Julian grabbed a flashlight.
"Lily?"
No answer.
His heart slammed against his ribs.
He ran through the corridors.
For the first time in years, he was running.
He found Lily standing near the garden doors.
The man in black stood outside.
Rain hammered against the glass.
Lily wasn't afraid.
Julian stepped between them.
"Who are you?"
The man smiled.
"You should be thanking me."
"For what?"
"For giving you back your life."
Julian's eyes narrowed.
"I never met you."
"No."
The man's smile disappeared.
"But your father did."

Julian froze.
Then the man walked away into the storm.
