Wonder if we will see Tom again today he's okay I guess said Kenny as they walked on a little taking their times so Aunt Mary could later catch up when she finished talking to her freind and as it was a nice day they enjoyed the walk too
I dunno really maybe but he seems to be linked with the house so to say or near the house where we seen him so yeah maybe we will see him but dunno Stan said
I still can't beleive the crule way that man treated Tom like that beating him and its clear to see the kid is sick did you guys hear that nasty cough he has and did any of you see he coughed up blood too Tom should have sued his ass off for assualt i would have if i was Tom Kyle said angrily
Kyle he wouldn't dare do that i beg i mean did you see the look of fear in his face that poor kid was shitting his pants in fear and if that was the past we visited well kids sadly took terrible abuse from adults and didn't say anything it's sad listen you guys im gonna do a little more research into thise later via my iPad into Victorian kids lives maybe it will mention boys like Tom Stan said
Yeah and he said he was from a work house too him and his sister shure he said they shaved their heads and that's how he thought Kenny was from the workhouse cos he's got a shaved head too Kyle said patting Kenny on the Shorn head getting a hey from the blond
Yeah I heard him say that and never mind kids getting abused In Victorian times that happens today you know at my bit and shure iv had a few back hands across the head like Tom when my da has come home drunk he starts fighting with mom then Kevin then I get it Kenny said
Yeah we know we have seen the bruises but you Kevin and your mom hit him back you take no shit off anyone Kenny but that kid Tom just stood their and took it all and didn't fight back or anything Poor kid and that's not right Kyle said
Well as I said you guys if it was a time slip and we did time travel back into the past well the kids their were so different back then maybe softer than today and they took all the shit that was delt out to them it's only recently that kids started standing up for themselfs Stan said
Was their no social services back then they could take Tom and his sister and put them in a foster home maybe together like Karen Kevin and I were said Kenny
Kenny hello what planet are you on you haven't been cheesing again their was no social services or foster homes other wise Tom and Dorrie would be probely together and not being abused here and the girl stuck away miles away never knowing when she'd see her brother of she ever did see him again but it was probelly the workhouse or nothing back then if you were poor or from a broken home or an orphan like Tom and Dorrie and they were put to work at a very young age you heard Tom his sister is little Karens age a little girl really and she's a kitchen maid and worked all hours poor thing but kids had no say back then even the rich kids were bossed about too and their futures desided for them I heard so were lucky and be thankful we live in the 21st century not the 19th kenny Kyle said
Yeah Kyles right we are lucky we do have it so easy you know I'd rather be stuck all day in a stuffy classroom on a hot day with old Garrison than have Toms life Stan said
Yeah gimme Garrison any day said Kyle
Yeah your right Even being stuck in detention for an hour with Garrison yelling at you is better than Toms life any day said Kenny with a laugh and the boys agreed with him
As the boys walked on a little they were aware that they were now being followed by a group of 3 boys and 2 girls who were whispering and pointing at Stan and his freinds
Hey you your not lochal your outsiders to the village a boy yelled making Stan and his freinds turn round
Well yeah we're outsiders we're here on holiday why asked Stan a little shocked
Wow their Americans one of the girls said to the others who then whisperd something
So what you doing here in our village outsider we don't like outsiders you guys think you can come here and ruin our village the girl said rudely
Excuse me said Kyle a bit shocked
Yeah go back to London outsider we dont want you here The other girl said
Shut the hell up you are you guys looking for a fight we hate rude people like you and we can holiday where we want to and incase your deaf were not Londonors were American and the pepole in the states have more manners than you yelled Kenny now squaring up for a fight
Look Kenny just drop it were not here to get into fights hell we get enough fighting back home look you guys were here holidaying with Stans relative and having a nice time so fighting you guys is the last things on our minds so if you don't like us staying here then fraid that's tough cos were staying till our holiday ends said Kyle grabbing Kenny back
Kyle their trying to start trouble you gonna just accept their bullshit if that was cartman and we were back home youd knock the shit out him said Kenny a bit mad at being held back
Yes and I know they are and yeah i would do that normaly but here its diffrent and we dont really know these kids their just a bunch of assholes trying start trouble and thats the last thing we want we came here hoping to enjoy ourselfs not get into fights and we have other things on our minds than fighting a bunch of stupid lochal kids that are trying to piss us off Kyle said
Well what ever idiots we hope the cursed ghost gets ya all and they will curse you all and send you to hell one of the boys said before walking away
Yeah right dude what ever Stan said after the other kids
But before anymore was said or the boys could do anything Mary came over and caught the end of what happend
stan Kyle and Kenny come on boys lets go she said leading the boys away as everyone left to go back to the house
Boys don't talk to those nasty children their trouble their well known for stirring up trouble and the other lochal children who live in the village avoid them their always looking to pick fights and get their victims into trouble said Mary
Oh don't worry Aunt Mary we won't you don't need to tell us twice we have delt with their kind before back home and we can handle them but who was that man you were talking too asked Stan
Oh he's an old old freind we go way back sometimes he visits the house and grounds so I expect that you will see him sitting on a bench somewhere in the grounds or in the house Mary smilled
Cool said Stan smilling as they headed back
A little later they all arrived back at the grounds and the sun was still warm but the boys drank their juice on the way back too cool off
If you boys want to go off an explore the house that's fine by me off you go and enjoy yourselfs just tell them who you are and you'll get in free they know me up their and I told them that you were coming for the summer Mary said
Are you shure we don't mind coming back and helping you unpack the things and help put away as we're the ones helping you eat them said Kyle with a smile
Look its fine now off you go boys and enjoy yourselfs smilled Mary as the boys all headed off again running through the grounds to the house
The boys cut through the grounds past the stables and coch house through the archway past the staues along the paths past the sundial till the reached the house and thise time the house was open so they went inside to explore
All 3 boys stepped into the large hallway their feet squeaking a little on the massive chequerd tilled floor as they had trainers on and after explaining who they were they explored the massive rooms and no doubt if walls could talk they'd tell a few good stories from the past
Stan glanced at the many paintings and old photos of the children that lived in the house in the past and the boy Tom wasent their but if he wasent a servent Stan wasent suprised really Tom was very thin and pale and dressed in rags and was dirty all these children were healthy looking and looked happy and were clean and they were dressed in velvets and satin and lace and looked well fed and had rosy cheeks
What you looking at their Stan asked Kyle as he and Kenny came over and stood near Stan also looking at the paintings and photos
The children of the house I think I don't See Tom though and these kids look much better off than Tom does said Stan glancing at his freinds
Yeah didn't Tom not say he was staff or something said Kyle
Yeah I think so but he's not even in the photos of the staff that worked here I looked Said Stan
Well maybe they didn't think he was importent enough to be in them said Kenny with a shrug
Dunno maybe said Stan as the boys carried on looking at the old photos and paintings Spanning the centuries
Theirs one of them missing here an elderly woman suddenly said making the 3 boys jump a bit
God don't do that you nearly gave us a heart attack their said Kenny placing his hand on his chest over his heart
Im sorry dear I don't mean to scare you like that but theirs a child missing in the paintings and photos as that child should have died at birth but unfortunaly it didn't and it was cursed and locked away and forgotten about left to rot in its prison that was a room in thise house the woman said
Cursed that's stupid no child is cursed Kenny said well maybe I am at times he mutterd but the woman didn't hear him
Well that poor little devil was cursed and that child was trapped in thise very house staved and beaten and starved of any human contact or love it was shut away becouse it was a deformed ugly monster cursed by evil and noone would dare paint its portrid or take any phots of it becouse it was so hidious and evil mand that's why that child's photo isn't their none excist of it and I'm warning you boys don't you go looking for it as you might not like what you find and it's far too dangerous I know your aunt Mary well and she told me about you boys your innicont and very sweet children and I'd hate for any harm to come to you young boys the woman said
The cursed child that's what those village kids threatend us with Kyle said
Excuse me who is the cursed child asked Stan
Look you don't want to know about it it's the spawn of the devil and walks thise earth for revenge it's pure evil if your unlucky enough to encounter it stay well away and for the love of god dont look at it it will curse you too but it only comes out at night now I think iv told you all far too much already the woman said before leaving
Omg does she mean Tom could be the cursed child he looked normal as us and okay I'm not gay but he wasent bad looking and the only thing that was wrong with him was that bad cough that could be a chest infection and he was a bit skinny said Kyle
Well I dunno really and doubt it Tom was outside during the day not shut away remeber that woman said the cursed child comes out at night and didnt Tom not say that he was sent running all over the place at the crack of dawn said Stan as the boys finished exploring and left the house and they desided theyd save upsistairs. To another day and they passed the sundial again
The boys wanted to run over to the sundial and see if it take them to Toms time but as their was visitors about the place and other pepole Going over to look at the sundial the boys couldn't really do that not in broad daylight in front of everyone so they'd promised themselfs they'd return to the house after the house closed for the night to explore more as their was a lot of un awnserd questions they wanted awnserd and they didn't really beleive the story about the cursed child maybe some scary story used to scare kids
Well that's that chappy done more comming soon so enjoy going to watch SP on tv now
