The Streets 2

Chapter 12: The Return To "The Streets"

Corey and Catriona proceeded to their cars. The wind was blowing reasonably, tunneling it's way down their breaths they are taking in, and the chemical that emerged from them was like a steam train billowing steam from the funnel. 

Before Corey got into his car, he noticed even more things about Catriona. First, he legitimately managed to maintain eye contact with her, then the next thing, she was close to him. The prospect of forming a relationship with someone is untenable to him after losing his wife and daughter to the monstrosity of Cat. But being around Catriona, someone made him feel... a tiny bit relaxed and... a bit comfortable a bit too.

"We have to go to my place to look for the map." She said.

"Ok. You lead the way!" Corey exclaimed. Catriona smiled and jumped in to her car. 

Corey's car

Catriona's car

Some time later, they pulled into the driveway. Catriona was the first to get out and ambled over to the front door. Corey locked his and followed suit. 

They didn't even stop for a coffee or whatever. They immediately escorted down below to get to the library. 

The minute they stepped foot in, Catriona headed straight towards the back of the room. She unlocked the heavy iron door that stood before her with a set of keys that rested on a bookshelf. She opened the door, making a creaking sound as she slowly opened up the passage to the back room. Corey decided to follow her in. 

It was somehow even more creepier than the main room. There was more dust and rust from the books, stored on piles of books that just set there, alone, like they are waiting for someone to take them up and read them. 

While Catriona was looking for the book she was after, Corey took a quick "de tour" around the shelves. He went for the nearest book he could find, and then, proceeding with care, slowly pulled it out of the shelf.

But then, other books in the very same row tumbled sideways and the dust pillowed up into a blob of smoke.

"Crap! Sorry!" Corey exclaimed and he got down on his knees to put them back up.

"It's ok. Just leave them where they are." Catriona replied.

But Corey hesitated. He collected up all of the books and put them back up on the shelf.

Then, Catriona grabbed a book and took it over to a desk. She scrolled through the pages to track down the address of the location.

Then, she flicked the next page... and saw the name:

Barnyard Streets,

AncientOak Pass

GTF7 14WA

Catriona immediately ripped out the piece where the address was and inserted it into her pocket. She picked up the rest of her stuff plus the bag of the roses of the dead. "Alright." She spoke loudly. Corey jumped. "I think... I think we're ready to go." She said nervously, but a bit more confidently. Corey resettled his attention to their objective. To defeat the woman once and for all. 

They walked out of the house, followed by Catriona locking the door behind them. 

They both proceeded to their vehicles and as they were about to get in, Catriona said: "follow me." Corey smiled back toward her and replied: "ok." 

Some time later

Corey drove into a familiar place. He recognized some of the buildings before. And as they headed up the hill, he spotted... The School. Where he attended as a teenager. But he had no time to stop for nostalgia reasons. 

He followed Catriona into the road on the left. But he knows where to go from here.

A short distance later, both Corey and Catriona parked at a parking bay. They gradually got up out of their cars and locked them as they slammed the doors. 

Corey's body was slowly filling up with chills. He hasn't been here since... 

Corey doesn't even want to think about it. He firmly held his trousers pocket to pull his act together. Catriona observed the roses of the dead for a substantial amount of time. Corey went over to her and snapped her out of it. 

"Sorry Corey! I just got... a little distracted." She replied as she looked away from the roses. 

They both stared into the direction they need to go.

"Well?" Catriona asked to look at Corey.

"...Shall we?" she added, hoping that he might take the lead. 

"Alright. Let's..." Corey stuttered.

"...Let's do this!" he exclaimed and proceeded onwards...
