Chapter 13: Within the Darkness
Cain hid behind the curtains hoping that the dolls really had not seen him. He
looked over at the sleeping Riff who was sleeping soundly. Cain didn't want to wake
him, Riff was hurt and needed his rest to get better. The room was getting darker as the
sun set down. Cain got more nerves thinking about the darkness and the dolls headed this
way. The sound of the scream and the blood splattering sounds made him shiver in dear.
What was he going to do with this problem. He thought about Mary Weather and how
she must have suffered when Alexis killed her. Then he thought about when Riff and him
where in the graveyard, and how he swore up and down that he saw Alexis; did he really?
Cain walked softly to the door and locked it, he pulled the dresser and the spare
bed in front of it and pushed them tight. The sound of the bed screeching acrossed the
wooden floors made Riff awaken.
"Master Cain? What is going on?" he asked him sitting up in bed.
"Those dolls they followed us and I think they are coming for us. I heard them kill
the woman at the front desk." He looked over at Riff there was a stern look of fear in
Cain's eyes. "I am afraid that this may be the end of you and I Riff!" he said running to
Riff and falling onto the bed laying his head on Riff's lap. Riff petted his lovers hair
trying to calm him, but it was going to harder then he thought. He too could here the
footsteps of small shoes coming up the wooden stairs. Was their deaths to come sitting
here in the darkness?
Meanwhile back at the house. Oliver walked into the house opening the door with
a loud creek.
"Cain! Mary Weather? Hello Anyone home?!" he yelled his voice echoed through
the dark house. Oliver walked through seeing the stains of blood on the stairs made him
worry about what was going on. He walked into the kitchen and saw the broken glass,
walking a little further he could see a candle. Oliver grabbed the candle and lit it with a
match lighting up the room, he walked outside hearing the crows crackle, their sounds
almost sounded as if they where saying "Death! Death!" Oliver walked further into the
yard when he suddenly felt a squish under his foot.
"What the?" he said holding the light down a little and gasping to see what he
stepped in was Alexis's leftover liver. "What the Hell! What is going on here?" he
noticed Alexis's almost flat body laying on the ground with the peck marks on it, his eyes
had been eaten by the crows along with most of his organs. "CAIN! WHERE ARE YOU
CAIN!" he screamed he could tell by the work that this had to be Cain's doing only he
would know the right poison to use for such a brutal death.
