Authors Note: The next few chapters are going to be told from Jill's POV.
Chapter 2: The Shadow
I sighed and walked back into the house. Chris and Emma are gone. Now what? I pulled a chair out from under the wooden brown table and sat down. I could feel myself drifting off into a sleep when something stirred behind me. I quickly turned round to see our dog Max. He was sitting looking down the hallway. I just noticed how dark it had gotten. I stood up and kneeled down where Max was.
"What is it boy? What do you see?" I asked looking down the hall into the darkness. I could see nothing. "Come on Max, go lie down. There is nothing there." I said standing up. The dog did not move. Wonder what's wrong? I walked up the hall to find nothing. As I went to walk back down I heard a thump up in the attic. I felt my heart speed up. It sounded like there was something walking about up there. Any normal person would have run but I could feel myself walking up the stairs curious.
I reached the top and the attic door was open. There was a chilling breeze coming from the open door. It was dark. Really dark. There was think dust over everything. The attic was a mess. Everything was trashed. I was about to turn round to leave when I heard a sound behind me. It was a rustling sneaky sound. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Whatever it was it was behind me where the door was. There was no other escape. Then I heard a horrible voice, raspy creepy voice of the undead.
"It's all your fault! We will get you all! Get you all for good!"
I quickly spun around and my heart leaped into my throat. It was some kind of witch thing, her red eyes glowing from inside a black clock.
"ARGGGHHHHH!" She charged at me snarling, I was frozen on the spot. Her eyes burning red with fury, her sharp vampire like teeth showing. Her claw reached for my throat and in the other hand she held a sledgehammer. Her red eyes glittered with vengeful glee. I could not move. I felt her cold bony fingers grip round my neck and the last then I remember was the sledgehammer and then everything went black.
When I woke all I could feel was pain. I was too afraid to open my eyes. Afraid encase that thing was hovering over me ready to strike again. Is this all Umbrella again? I thought we put Umbrella to an end?
I strained my ears to se if I could hear anything. I heard nothing. I could feel her watching me. Crouching over me, waiting to attack again. I lay for what seemed forever. To afraid to move. My back was getting sore and lying here was very uncomfortable. I slowly opened my eyes to slits, but I saw no monster. I moved my head looking around. Still nothing. I sighed with relief and sat up.
A noise. From behind. I quickly rolled over to the other side of the attic and I'm glad I did because as I rolled the sledgehammer came down on me again. Lucky it missed. She must have some power, as there was now a big hole of the floor where I was just sitting from the impact of the hammer. Quickly scrambling to my feet I ran for the door as she was trying to get the hammer out of the floor.
I ran down the stairs and I could hear her coming behind me. When I reached the outside door I saw a big dark shape filling the doorway.
"Jill?"
I sighed with relief. It was only Steve. A buddy from out of town.
"What's wrong? You ok" I turned to point behind me but nothing was there. Where did she go? I decided to tell Steve everything.
"Wow, that's quite a story you have there. I do remember Chris mentioning it a few times, he thinks whatever it is, it lives down in the basement. Come on, we will check the basement out."
"Um... ok then.." I said not to sure I wanted to do this after what I just saw. "I will go get some torches." I went to the drawer and took out 2 torches and I picked up rope that was lying. I went to the basement door to get Steve. When I got there Steve was leaning against the door. He was covered in garlic that we had in the kitchen.
"Um.. Steve? Why are you covered in garlic? We are not facing vampires here. I really don't think the garlic will keep it away, but I can tell you now it sure as hell will keep me away from you." I said covering my nose from the smell.
"Hey, you never know. It may come in handy. What's with the rope?"
"I was thinking we could tie it round our wastes just to make sure we don't get separated."
"Or don't you mean so one of us doesn't get captured by this thing"
"Yeah I do"
"Nice thinking" he grinned and tied it to himself. I did the same. We both took a flashlight and Steve opened the basement door.
