I was in the site, of the Black Shadow. His spear was raised to my chest; ready to strike. To say that I wasn't afraid was a huge lie. I knew that I couldn't give up though. With a new found strength I looked at the thing, and said calmly "I have something that needs to be done."
I watched in amazement as the thing lowered the spear. The thing then spoke again. "Don't believe for even a second that you are free."
I was stumped, but before I could say anything the thing disappeared. Where the Black Shadow had once been now lay another book. I picked it up, and examined it. The title of the book read "A Child's Prayer". It was a child's book, and upon opening it I saw images of children with a porcelein like quality. Written inside of the pages was the Lord's prayer.

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take.
I couldn't explain why, but this unnerved me. Still I placed the book inside of my bag. I took a final look around, but didn't see anything of interest. I walked out of the Historical Society. It was daytime, but it was raining again. I cursed my luck, and started walking. The road appeared to lead in only one direction. I followed the road, and along the way I found several health drinks, first aid kits, and some handgun bullets. So far I had no use for these things, but something told me that they would come in handy.
I came across an intersection, but noticed a shadow to the right. I looked to see Rebecca staring at me. "Hey! Wait!" I called out.
Rebecca then ran off, and I chased after her. I didn't understand it myself but I knew that there was something with that girl. I had a feeling that she held some answers. I continued to chase after her, and soon I saw her enter a hospital. What was she doing in a hospital? Did she know someone who was sick? I decided I couldn't let my questions get the better of me. I followed Rebecca into Brookehaven Hospital.
