Storytime Video Part 1 / Part 2 Splitter

I booked what looked like a gorgeous Airbnb in rural Vermont for a quiet solo weekend. The host seemed sweet in her messages, but the moment I pulled into the gravel driveway at 10 PM, something felt completely off. All the porch lights were pitch black, and the lockbox had already been opened with the key left inside the front door handle. When I walked into the living room, there was a cup of herbal tea sitting on the coffee table that was still steaming hot. [CLIFFHANGER OUTRO]: ...And that's when everything took a terrifying turn.

I immediately locked the deadbolt, convinced myself the cleaner had just left five minutes ago, and went upstairs to unpack my bags. But twenty minutes later, as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, I heard heavy footsteps walking across the floorboards directly beneath my feet. I turned off the bathroom light, held my breath, and listened through the heating vent. That is when I heard a man's whisper say: 'Check the closet upstairs, she just arrived.' I froze. My car keys were sitting on the kitchen counter downstairs right where the footsteps were coming from.
