Dark Secrets
Kirsty Cotton huddled in the corner of her dingy hotel room with the one light on. She wasn't afraid to turn it off per se, in fact she preferred the darkness. But with the weird dreams she had been having lately the light was the only thing that kept them at bay. Sometimes her dreams were gruesomely weird. Involving her ex-husband Trevor Gooden now dead being torn apart by her hands with others standing on the sidelines ready to offer assistance should the need arise. Normally such dreams would be enough to scare a psychopathic killer into remission, but to her they were comforting.
The only thing that bothered her were she could never make out the two figures quite clearly yet. They came clearer and clearer with each dream sequence but not quite enough to make them out. The only thing she knew was that one was male, the other female. Somehow she knew them. At first she thought parents but that was ridiculous. She never knew her birth parents and she had grown up in state homes thus essentially being raised by various states she had resided in. When she wasn't having weird dreams she was trying to avoid the calling of a certain golden box. She shuddered at her first memory of meeting with the box's original owner.
She was surrounded by 5 unusual looking creatures. The most frightening being a tall male with pale white skin and coal black eyes devoid of any emotion. He had pins sticking all about his head and like his companions he wore black clothing. When he spoke his voice was non threatening and sounded like he was speaking to a young child when he addressed her but none the less demanded attention and obedience. His other companions stood silently by while he spoke to her. She wondered when he went after her if it was a half assed attempt. He never made any real attempts to get her after any encounters after the initial one.
Kirsty toyed with the attempt of summoning him again but decided against it. She did not need anymore oddball issues in her life right now. Kirsty tried to fight sleep but her eyes were getting heavy. Soon welcoming darkness overcame her and she slept. And she dreamed.
Walking through the dark musty corridors of the labyrinth was something she was familiar with. Almost comfortable. The blood and rotting pieces of flesh of what was once human lay strewn about on the floor. A soft comforting familiar hum was heard overhead and she looked up to see the gigantic floating deity known as Leviathan above. It shot a black beam at her and she saw nothing disturbing…unusual….weren't humans supposed to be plaqued with unpleasant memories? She looked at the diamond a bit longer then continued on her way. She had somewhere to be. She passed along various holding cells with tortured souls inside them. She paid them no mind. She also passed some cages that held some animals inside. Cats, dogs, and other animals. Residents of the labyrinth that were born here and therefore twisted and aggressive. They glanced at her for a moment then went on their business. 'Pets for sale obviously,' she thought to herself. She rounded a corner and came to Trevor Gooden who was laid out on a slab. Various instruments laid on a table awaiting her.
She touched one sharp evil looking instrument and looked behind her. Two shadowed figures, one male and one female nodded silently and stood at the ready. She nodded in response and made the first cut. Trevor screamed shrilly and she looked back again only to find the figures now gone from their original positons behind her. Shrugging she turned back and continued her cuts again. When trevor had "died" she looked back up and her eyes widened in shock. The figures were in full view now. One male and one female. They were smiling lovingly. The female looked like she wanted to cry. The male looked pleased and proud.
She opened her mouth to ask who they were….
Kirsty awoke with a groan. Somehow she was in her bed with the covers gently pulled about her. The golden box lay on her nightstand within easy reach. 'what does this mean?' she thought to herself. 'I need some answers and I need them now.' kirsty thought to herself. Little did she know she would find them very soon…
Who were the figures Kirsty saw? What did they want with her? Find out soon!
