Baa Baa Black Sheep

Chapter 3: Shattered Innocence

The Clayton family had relocated from Texas, leaving behind a trail of suspicion and unanswered questions regarding the disappearance of Kubo and Akarsh. Despite their involvement in the macabre rituals of the Clayton family, the authorities had yet to uncover concrete evidence linking them to the gruesome acts. Sarthak, Dhruv, and Lindsey found refuge in a new town, their dark secrets hidden beneath a facade of normalcy.

Two months had passed since Kubo's murder, and Sarthak believed that his children and newfound companion, Naval, were ready to partake in their first hunt. The family had sustained themselves by feasting on the flesh of the deceased from local graveyards, honing their skills and suppressing their hunger for fresh prey.

On a moonlit night, Sarthak led the Clayton family to a house that seemed unsuspecting from the outside. Inside, five souls resided-a family consisting of an elderly grandmother, a father, a mother, an older sister, and a small, innocent girl named Shubhangi.

Clayton family break into the house. Sarthak wearing his tiger mask entered the room of the grandmother. She was in deep sleep. Sarthak without any hesitation stabbed her in the forehead with a knife. The elderly woman had no chance to scream or to help herself out. Dhruv and Naval entered the room of the parents wearing their black sheep and white sheep mask respectively. The parents were both were taking a shower together. Unknown to the horror that was waiting for them. Dhruv breaks the bathroom door . Both surprised by this , confronted him and begged him to not kill them and their daughters. But Dhruv's humanity was dead long ago. He smashed the head of the father into the wall of the bathroom as hard as he could. The father was dead in no time. The mother tried to run from there but Naval was waiting for her outside. He stabbed an iron rod in her chest. She was also dead. Meanwhile Lindsey entered the room of the two sisters. They both were awake because of the screams of their mother. The older sister tried to fight back Lindsey with a hockey stick. Lindsey however was taking this as a joke. She snatched the hockey stick from her and used the same hockey stick to kill her. Lindsey mercilessly kept hitting her with a hockey stick. Shubhangi, the only last remaining member was scared to death. But she was safe since according to the rules of Clayton , She couldn't be killed because all the family members got their prey.

However, Sarthak had an idea-an offer to Shubhangi that could save her from a fate worse than death. He approached the young girl, her wide eyes filled with both fear and curiosity. Sarthak extended an invitation for her to join the Clayton family, presenting it as an opportunity for survival and a chance to exact revenge on a cruel world that had shown her no mercy.

With no other choice but to accept the offer, Shubhangi reluctantly agreed, her fragile spirit overshadowed by the darkness that enveloped the Clayton family. She became the newest member, donning the mask of the goat, a symbol of her initiation into their malevolent ranks.
