The taunt shouldn't have bothered Will. But as his friend's wailing faded, the warning rang loud in Will's head, and he automatically reached down to touch his scar. Edginess overtook him as he walked toward his house. Rounding a bend, Will glanced at the rusted iron gates marking the entrance to Stone Manor, the one-time home of Algernon McAllister.
Stone Manor must have been an impressive sight in its day. Four stories tall with over 40 rooms, the mansion reflected its owner's larger-than-life personality. With its domed roof, the place resembled a medieval cathedral. The façade was decorated with sculptures in relief and a colonnade. Named Stone Manor because of the Italian marble that once adorned its exterior, the sobriquet still applied today, despite the overabundance of moss and ivy that covered the now dilapidated shell.
