Chapter 1 - The Interview
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7xmditnw
The rain pounded against the windows of the old Victorian manor as the Johnson family sat around the dining room table, interviewing their final candidate for the open butler position. After the sudden and mysterious disappearance of their previous butler, the family was desperate to find a suitable replacement.

"So Mr. Blackwood, tell us a bit about your background and experience," asked Mr. Johnson, the stern patriarch of the household.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvYIHrqqBM
The pale, thin man sitting across from them gave a warm smile. "Well, as you can see from my resume, I have over 20 years of experience as a professional butler. I've worked for many distinguished families over the years, and pride myself on my attention to detail and discretion."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xYzoEBIku
Mrs. Johnson nodded approvingly. "That's quite impressive. And your references all speak very highly of you."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMUgdoCdki
"Thank you, ma'am. I can assure you, I will be a most devoted and loyal servant to your family." Mr. Blackwood's piercing blue eyes seemed to bore right into the Johnsons, making them shift uncomfortably in their seats.

After a few more questions, the family conferred briefly before Mr. Johnson announced, "Well Mr. Blackwood, we'd be delighted to have you join our household staff. When can you start?"
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZWOPKwJlB
"Immediately, sir." Mr. Blackwood gave a deep, formal bow. "I am entirely at your service."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKLMF1r7m
As the Johnsons showed their new butler to his quarters, an uneasy feeling began to creep up the spine of each family member. There was something unsettling about Mr. Blackwood's mannerisms and the way he seemed to observe their every move. But they pushed those concerns aside, eager to have the position filled and their household running smoothly again.

Little did they know the nightmare that was about to unfold.

Chapter 2 - Strange Occurrences
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zAH7BaCeK
Over the next few weeks, Mr. Blackwood proved himself to be an exemplary butler. He carried out his duties with impeccable precision, anticipating the family's needs before they were even voiced. The house was kept meticulously clean and organized, and meals were prepared to perfection.

However, the Johnsons couldn't shake the lingering sense of unease they felt in Mr. Blackwood's presence. Small, unexplained incidents began to occur - a vase knocked over in the foyer, a sentimental family photo found shattered on the floor, a prized heirloom pendant going missing for days only to reappear just as mysteriously.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRoFz43ZOb
When questioned, Mr. Blackwood would apologize profusely and assure the family it was simply an accident, blaming his own clumsiness. But the Johnsons couldn't help but notice a strange glint in his eyes as he spoke.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9BW4xXOxr
One night, the youngest Johnson child, 10-year-old Emily, awoke with a start. She could have sworn she heard strange noises coming from the direction of the kitchen. Grabbing her robe, she crept downstairs to investigate.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CyECCaPkF
As she neared the kitchen, she heard the unmistakable sound of a knife sharpening. Peeking around the corner, she gasped in horror at the sight before her. Mr. Blackwood stood at the counter, a wicked grin on his face as he methodically ran a long, serrated blade along the sharpening stone.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5ARdD6MX
Emily quickly ducked back, her heart pounding. She hurried back to her room, too frightened to make a sound. The next morning, she begged her parents not to send her back down to the kitchen, claiming she had had a nightmare. The Johnsons simply chalked it up to an overactive imagination.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarQFYqaJ4
But Emily knew what she had seen. And she was terrified.

Chapter 3 - A Deadly Discovery
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwHZwnR7R
As the weeks turned into months, more and more strange occurrences began to plague the Johnson household. Valuables would go missing, only to reappear days later in the most unusual places. Unexplained noises would echo through the halls at night. And the family began to notice subtle changes in Mr. Blackwood's demeanor - a tightening of his jaw, a barely perceptible twitch of his eye.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokdPswXrg0
The final straw came one evening when the family returned home to find the house in complete disarray. Furniture was overturned, picture frames lay shattered on the floor, and a distinct metallic odor hung in the air.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy0L9j1rYD
Racing upstairs, the Johnsons burst into the master bedroom - and let out collective screams of horror. There, lying in a pool of blood on the bed, was the lifeless body of their beloved family dog, Sammy. A knife protruded from its side, its glassy eyes staring lifelessly.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS0aV7kopj
Overcome with grief and rage, Mr. Johnson stormed downstairs, determined to confront their deranged butler. But Mr. Blackwood was nowhere to be found. A frantic search of the manor revealed no sign of him.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5OC7B4p32
As the police were called and an investigation launched, the Johnsons were left reeling. How could this have happened? And where was Mr. Blackwood?
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwinRjdLXJ
Little did they know, the twisted, demented butler was lurking in the shadows, carefully planning his next move.

Chapter 4 - A Twisted Revelation
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh60QkrAbN
In the days that followed, the police investigation into Sammy's murder yielded few clues. There were no signs of a break-in, and no witnesses had seen or heard anything suspicious. The Johnsons, too terrified to return to their home, took refuge at a nearby hotel.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0e8ocq8tU
One evening, as the family sat in their hotel room, a knock came at the door. Heart racing, Mrs. Johnson cautiously opened it to find a police officer standing there.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBj82E5SyH
"Mrs. Johnson, I'm afraid we have some disturbing news," the officer said solemnly. "We've discovered some information about your former butler, Mr. Blackwood."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnfzdIpz3F
The family gathered around, bracing themselves for the worst.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfW9zHQnU
"It would appear that Mr. Blackwood is not who he claimed to be. His real name is Victor Malus, and he has a lengthy criminal history - including multiple convictions for violent crimes such as assault, battery, and even manslaughter."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk6GBlPAJ0
The Johnsons stared at the officer, stunned. "But...how is that possible? His references checked out, and he seemed like such a wonderful, trustworthy man," Mrs. Johnson stammered.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJ3Ov5122
"It seems Mr. Malus is an expert at deception and manipulation. He's managed to evade authorities for years by assuming false identities and ingratiating himself with unsuspecting families."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgvRJJaEn
A chill ran down Mr. Johnson's spine. "You mean...he's still out there? Somewhere?"
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpTQ6iRwLo
The officer nodded gravely. "I'm afraid so. And given his history of violence, we believe he poses a serious threat to your family. You'll need to remain in protective custody until we can apprehend him."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE1bIt0l84
As the reality of the situation sank in, the Johnsons were overcome with a mix of fear, anger, and disbelief. How could they have welcomed such a monster into their home? And what other horrors might he have planned for them?
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjK9F1rMHm
Chapter 5 - A Reckoning
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA43oOQQTF
The Johnsons spent the next several weeks in protective custody, constantly on edge and terrified that Mr. Malus would somehow find them. The police scoured the city, but there was no sign of the twisted butler.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhgv0vcmIY
Then, one night, a chilling call came in to the family's hotel room. A familiar voice, dripping with malice, spoke on the other end.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuf7oXFQT6
"Hello, my dear Johnsons. Did you really think you could hide from me?"
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWApnXwxX
Mrs. Johnson's blood ran cold. "Mr. Malus...how did you find us?"
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ckSn3D4T
A sinister chuckle. "Oh, I have my ways. You see, I've been watching you all this time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLkFrK4p7Q
The sound of a door creaking open made the family whirl around in terror. There, standing in the doorway, was the tall, gaunt figure of Victor Malus, a twisted grin on his face.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFuCOiOR3W
"No one can escape me," he hissed. "You made the mistake of trusting me, of letting me into your home. And now, you will pay the ultimate price."
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ5FL4nqPT
As Malus advanced, the Johnsons backed away in horror, nowhere to run. In a last-ditch effort, Mr. Johnson lunged at the deranged butler, but Malus was too quick. With a swift motion, he drew a knife and plunged it into Mr. Johnson's chest.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIynGzMbTu
The family's screams echoed through the hotel as Malus continued his bloody rampage, cutting down each member one by one. By the time the police finally burst into the room, it was too late. The Johnsons were all dead, their bodies strewn about the hotel room in a gruesome tableau of violence. Victor Malus, the twisted butler, lay among them, his eyes cold and dead, his knife still clutched in his hand.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvsPJ9QHCf
The police investigation that followed revealed the full extent of Malus's depravity. He had planned the entire ordeal meticulously, using his skills of deception and manipulation to infiltrate the Johnson household and then strike when they least expected it. The family's trust in him had been their downfall, and their brutal murder would serve as a chilling reminder of the dangers of underestimating the evil that lurked in the shadows.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BihhZTvF0
As the news of the massacre spread, the city was left reeling in shock and horror. The once peaceful streets were now filled with the sounds of sirens and the whispers of fear. The Johnsons' tragic fate would be etched into the collective memory of the city, a grim reminder of the darkness that could lurk beneath the surface of even the most seemingly ordinary lives.
The End.
