Delilah's Vision

One of the last humans on Earth to believe in a sinister subterranean race was a woman named Delilah. She wasn't the only one as she realized that there were secret groups around dealing with them, but she was what seemed to be the only one in Ireland. You see, couple weeks back a man named Dr. Burrows handed a journal (delivered by a man named Drake) to the topsoil world which depicted what seemed to be a some whacked up fairy tale, but it soon turned into a nightmare for Delilah. As she flipped through the pages of The Highfield Mole, her hands trembled as she read every single word about underground civilizations and the people called the Styx.

When Delilah was 14 when she received the shock of her life. She had been playing in her grandmother's house way out in the rural sides of Ireland when she happened to see some very peculiar men. They looked very eccentric, wearing long coats with corpse-like faces walking about. They moved very fast and agile as they whispered in some strange fashion. Wearing dark sunglasses and hiding in the shadows, they seemed to be waiting for Mr. Walsh, an old man of 68.

Delilah crept closer as her curiosity got the better of her. The tall grass was easy to hide her and she hid behind a tree, peeking from the branches. The door to Mr. Walsh's house suddenly opened, and with lightning speed, the strange men grabbed him and suddenly went inside the house, slamming the door behind him. Mr. Walsh was letting out a struggle before being dragged inside, with screams and shouts.

By this time, she was so shocked that she put her hand around her mouth to stop herself from letting out a shriek. The sun was setting when this was happening, and she took up the courage to walk towards the house. Making sure that she was by herself, she looked through the dirty window, and her eyes widened in shock. Mr. Walsh was tied to a chair, and in front of him were the same men she saw, except they were wearing a coat with white collars. Their shiny jet black hair was sleeked back with their piercing black eyes fixed on the poor old man. They were carrying a strange light bulb with them, fixed on a table. It had a green light, and when they used it on Mr. Walsh, he let out an agonizing scream.

"What is your purpose!" they suddenly shouted. The questions were coming back and forth, and Mr. Walsh by this time was gurgling out blood. His torture was fortunately over when he passed out. Before passing out though, he spotted Delilah through the window and gave her a look that said, "Get out of here!" She turned away and broke down in tears, trying to be as quiet as she could. She broke out and ran towards the direction of the house, and when she looked back, she saw the strange men had spotted her, but she was far away so they didn't run after her.

"We'll catch her." One of them said, not even showing a concerned face. His assistant just nodded, and said something in a very nasally language to the others. "Just make sure we do before the police does."
