Chapter Two: The Watch
Louis Creed spent the rest of the morning watching his "wife". She looked just fine, but the way she was acting would be hard to explain to anyone who noticed. That, and the smell.
He urged her to take a shower, and after a few moments of silence, she went.
The water turned on, and he waited. He had taken the precaution of removing anything sharp from the bathroom (and the rest of the house) in case she was like the creature that had once been his son.
Maybe it would've been better to just leave her dead. Just keep the memories of her…like-
Like I was supposed to do with Gage? He thought bitterly.
Lou killed time while Rachel took her shower. He toyed with the notion of asking her how it had felt to die, or what she had seen…on the other side. Then again, do I really want to know? Think about it, Creed: the thing that took Gage was clearly insane. What drives something insane like that? His next thought was: What if Rachel has gone insane too?
What if she had? Would he get rid of her like he had done with Gage? THAT hadn't really worked out to well, now had it? Lou's "taking care" of Gage had put Rachel in this position…
Lou suddenly sat up, eyes ripped wide. Ellie!
Of course! Their daughter! Ellie couldn't stay with the in-laws forever…what would happen when she came home to find her mother stinking of the grave, and her father's hair completely white?
The latter he could take care of…but what about Rachel? And why in God's name hadn't he thought of her before? Some daddy I am…
He forgot all about Ellie when Rachel came back.
She was completely soaked, not having bothered with drying off. She had pulled on a robe, but hadn't closed it well. He could see pale skin-bloodless skin peeking out.
"Louis, stop staring." She cackled in a voice full of dirt. She sounded…horrible. That voice would haunt him night and day now that she was here.
On the bright side, she seemed to be more like herself…except for her appearance and voice…she could almost pass for normal.
Author's note: Hmmm…poor Louis, but what about Ellie? Hmmmmm……Please Review!
