The Deep Dark Stone Path

Chapter 29 *Sam*

"This time try not to fall through the floor, Dalilah." James says playfully. She punches him in the shoulder. The door is laying on the porch so the three of us just walk in. They show me the skeletons in the kitchen. Right as we open the kitchen door Dalilah gasps and looks back and forth like she is adding something up in her head. James and I are talking to to her asking her whats wrong and she doesnt hear us.

Then she falls to the floor. "Dalilah!" James shouts and picks her up. She sits up and grabs his arms. "I saw what happened! I saw through the killers eyes as he killed them!" She yells while tears stream down her face. He holds her until she collects herself. Then we step around a hole in the floor and go up the stairs.

When we get to the top Dalilah stops and says "Do you see that boy?" I look where she is looking. "I dont see anything. Dalilah, what are you talking about?" I say. She ignores me and walks forward toward a door that opens by itself. She looks into what was a bathroom. Then I see a boney hand hanging out of the bath tub.

All of the sudden Dalilah turns around and runs toward the stairs. In a deep manly voice that isnt hers she yells, "Come here, boy!" and she grabs something we cant see and struggles to pull it into the bathroom. Then we watch as she shoves it into the bath tub. She clicks back to reality and looks at the both of us. "Whoever did this hated these people alot." She looks tired and freaked out. I am honestly really weirded out. James looks like he is about to puke.

Halfway down the stairs Dalilah twists her head weird and then James taps her on the back and she is back in a vision. She rushes down the stairs and I see a white figure run out the door. Dalilah chases it and James and I follow. She grabs something out of a tree stump and runs after the figure. When the figure is almost out of the woods Dalilah throws whatever is in her hand and then we see an axe hit the figure in the back.

Dalilah twitches and then looks at us. "So now I guess I can see ghosts and talk to them." James states, "It also looks like you re-enact the murder too, and can see past objects that we cant." They both look really freaked out and I am sure I look like it too. Dalilah clicks back into the vision.

James and I follow her as she drags the figure she just killed into the house and up the stairs into a bedroom. We watch as she appears to be stealing all their valuables and as she sets the house on fire. She looks right through us and yells, "Of course you had to take my only son! The other one isnt mine!"

She shakes her head and is back with us. "Whoever is the murderer had two sons and one of them wasnt his." she says. James looks confused, "Well I knew the other families of the kids that died. None of them had two sons..
....except f-for mine." Dalilah and I look at him. He stares at the ground.

"He isn't my father?!" James yells and runs down the path back towards Dalilah's house. He doesn't stop there, he keeps running down the road and we chase after him. "James, dont!", She yells as we turn right and keep running. We get to a nice house and James falls to his knees. Dalilah stops out of breath and covers her mouth. They both stare at the house. "He finally cleaned the house...", James pants out.
