Ryan woke up on his bed with a bandage wrapped around his head.
He placed his left hand on his head and said," What... happened to me..?"

Rebecca sat on a chair next to his bed with tears strolling down her cheeks. She then realized he was awake and said," Oh thank God you're alive Ryan."

Ryan smiled as he embraced a hug from Rebecca. Jared then walked in and said," I called a couple friends and they-"

He then lunged forwards and hugged Ryan quickly while sobbing onto Ryan's shoulder.

Jared yelled," Damnit don't you ever do that again okay?!"

Ryan smiled, but then it faded into nothingness. He stared off at the wall and said," My mom... is she really...?"

Rebecca looked at the floor and said," Yeah. They called your phone while you were knocked out."

Ryan then placed his hands against his eyes and straight up balled his eyes out. He cried and cried like a baby just yearning for their mother. Rebecca then hugged him while crying for and with him.

Jared's phone then started ringing. He exited the room and answered the phone.

"Hello," he said as he held the phone to his ear.

A voice whispered back," He's coming for you next. He's coming for all of you now."

Jared threw the phone onto the floor as his he was shaken with pure fear.

Meanwhile....

Mr. Cinder walked to his car and said," Damn. It's already 7 pm? Shit I was hoping to get some workout in. Shame."

He then heard a noise sound loudly across the street. He squinted and shrugged unlocking his car door. The sound then got closer. Mr. Cinder got in his car and said," Eh. Probably those damn crackheads again."

He then started his car and pulled out onto the rode. His wife texted," Can you please get some groceries on the way home, love you babe."

Mr. Cinder sighed and said," Alright. I can make one more stop."

He pulled into a freeway onto the highway while putting some music on the radio.

He then seen something in the back of his car and said," The hell?!"

He turned around quickly, but nobody was there. He then turned his eyes quickly back to the road where a women was standing. She stood in the middle of the road just staring at Mr. Cinder and his car.

He swerved the steering wheel quickly to avoid hitting the person, crashed into a truck holding limber, and crashed off the highway. Blood was everywhere. And death had occurred.

Someone stood in the woods on the side of the highway just staring with a big bright eerie smile on his face.


Back with the main characters....

Ryan and Rebecca both stood up off to bed to calm themselves after mourning the loss of Ryan's mother.

Jared entered the room and said," That mansion. We'll go visit it tomorrow."

Ryan put his hand onto Jared's shoulder and said," You good bro?"

Jared gritted his teeth together and said," Yeah. It's just... no it's nothing."

Ryan looked at him in the eyes and said," Bro. Listen to me and what I'm about to say. Everything I say right at this moment, you have to believe me."

Rebecca stood next to him and said," I had no choice to believe him after what I saw."

Jared nodded and said hesitantly," Alright. Go on."

Ryan cleared his throat and said," Okay. First of all.... I can see shadow people. And I know that sounds... crazy, but it's true. And something extremely weird is going on. A random tape, my mother going missing and now... what I'm saying is that I believe this all has something to do with The Unspoken Vintage."

Jared sat down on a chair and said," The hell are you ta-"

At that exact moment a little girls laughter was heard downstairs.
Ryan, Rebecca, and Jared all 3 rushed downstairs in confusion, but nobody was there. However, the TV was playing the tape again. However this time, it was different.

A little girl was playing at a playground with her father and mother, but the figure this time, was different from the other one he seen.

It then zoomed in on the figure that was staring at the screen with a big eerie smile. It looked as if blood was leaking out of his mouth. An eerie creepy old song then started playing. It was Ring around the Rosie, but it was slowed down and the beat and background music was very different.

Rebecca and Jared watched in horror as it showed different pictures of dead bodies back to back. Victims of a likely crime. Knife wounds in most, but almost all were killed in different ways.

Ryan stared at the bodies and said," So grim. I'm guessing... that my mother also ended up this way."

Rebecca put her hands on Ryan's back and said," Hey you don't know that."

Ryan turned the TV off and said," Forget all this. I wanna use this time to just... collect myself and my thoughts."

He then sat back down on the couch and took a deep breath, holding in his tears.

He then said," My mom wouldn't want me to stay sad forever. Instead I'm gonna find out who did it and I'll make sure they pay."

Jared crossed his arms and said," Vengeance isn't a good thing too. You can become blinded by it and only one revenge."

Ryan shook his head and said," Nah. I'm not like that."

Rebecca smiled reassuringly and said," Alright Ryan. Whatever you decide to do. I'm gonna stick with you. We've known each other since we were 3. I consider you my brother. So let's get through this together."


Ryan nodded and said," Yeah."

They then all 3 looked out the window as it poured heavy rain.
