As day one was in the books and day two was starting. The tourists and townfolks gathered in the church. At about nine in the morning. As the church was all decorated up with black benches and black books that were neatly placed under them. There was black candles lit throughout the church burning a black light from them. An alter was placed at the front with a mural of a black tree made of black veins that dripped black goo from it. On the ceiling hung black veins that dripped the same likeness. The center of the ceiling had a big wide black window that spotlighted the room with a shadowy sun's presence. The side walls were full of black and grey paned glass that showed rays of light throught it of those same color.
    At the front of the church stood father Mallory next to a grey stone bowl full of black blood and those two black speckled statues. He stood tall infront of the crowd. He spoke in a holy wicked voice," today we are all gathered here to bless the newcomers with the blood of eden! Who'd like to come up here and bathe in her blood!" Some tourists raised there hands. Father Mallory told them to come up and form a line. He grabbed a silver cup amd filled it from the bowl. Then he poured it on each of them. he told them they're cleansed from Eden's sorrow. That now they are blessed by her purity. Then the people sat back down.
  Father Mallory started a prayer. As the townfolks who were dressed in their costumes of black and grey with their pale skin and dark eyes chanted with him saying eden brings forth the garden to purify, to reliquish, to conquer!" Then they waited in silence a moment. After that they continued in a wickly hollow echo of unification," she brings forth the forgotten, the abandoned and the lost souls of a world forgotten!"
The tourists in the crowd were enjoying themselves, recording videos and taking pictures.
Then father Mallory in his mighty voice said now we'll read from the good book. he did it for awhile. As He spoke in another language unheard by the living.
After that he walked up and down the church with alter boys in grey robes who stood by the benches. As they handed out black bowls full of viles of black liquid. He told each of them to take one. They did.
He stopped in the middle of the church. He looked forward at the front of the church. He took his hand and extended it forward. He pointed his index finger out showing its black rotten long nail. A crack of thunder boomed and black lightning appeared between the two statues. The statues eyes opened. they glowed a yellow starry light that put the people in a hazy trance.
Figures walked out of the black lightning wearing the black suits with their pale skin and black eyes. The crowd is mesmerized not knowing what was happening as they were now under a spell. In which they couldnt think or do anything. They were Hyptnotized! The creatures walked up to the tourists and touched them. They felt that same burning sensation. They dissolved into a puddle on the ground of blood and bones. The creatures then seen their memories. Who they were. While they turned into them.
Father mallory and the crowd all laughed together in a frighteningly evil echo. Then father Mallory spoke in a strong voice," one by one! we will rule this wretched land. We will conquer this world. In Edens name! as it will be spoken by all! Who step on the sacrid land. now say it with me!" The crowd joined in this time yelling in confidence," with eden we will grow! With eden we will rise! With eden we shall live forever! conquering all that stand in her way! This will be our land. as it always has been. Its our time to bring the garden forth from under the world of the forgotten! Up to those that live in the shadow of the lost! Under Eden's thumb we shall live!
  The crowd then disbanded with the newly aquired victims ready to be set upon our world.

There was a couple of plays set to go on during the day. the first was at 11 a.m.. Which went over smoothly in the forest. It showed the massacre of the original townfolks in the cabins. The witches performed rituals. While dancing and chanting under the trees.  they spoke to the demons preparing for the revolution of their upbringing from the underworld. It also showed men who committed suicide stabbing themselves. As others hung themselves from neuces. As they were under a trance from the witches spells.
At the end of the first play. It showed the pale white human creatures ransacking the cabins and stealimg the town's treasures from the town hall and hiding the gems and gold in the woods.

  It was 12 o'clock p.m. now. The sky was in its full shade of dark blue, it was cloudless and yet the sun was dimly shining through to the ground. The tourists and townfolks alike gathered in the same woods as the first play. There was a black wooden platform set infront of the entrace to the woods.
Five woman in untraditional witch's outfits not the typical pointy hats and black dresses but with black hollowed out gooey encrusted eyes wearing black robes stood on the stage. A man stood on the other side dressed in an old 1700's get up.  His name was clyde Reginald. The stage was set for the play to begin.
The witches walked up talking in horrifically evil voices saying you are the chosen one to bring forth the revolution. They all pulled out silver knives encircling clyde. as they stabbed him to death. Then they poured his blood in a bowl. the stage went into a black smokey fog.  Aftet a moment it disappated. as it magically showed a black cauldron with the witches chanting an evil spell in a forgotten language over clyde's dead body.  As the trees blew around in the background. Then they said the demons will rise! The underworld will rule again.
a mob of people with pitchforks and torches came on the stage to crusify the witches but a small stocky man from the audeince wearing a long sleeved blue hoodie with the hood pulled over his head and blue jeans on. Yelled from off the stage interrupting the play in a fearless cry ," i know what you're doing here in this town. You took my wife from me. When she came home from this place! she was never the same. Even tho she looked the same. She didnt act it. I seen it with the camera! it showed your true faces! You're all evil incarnate! You will pay! Im not the only one who knows! so watch out! They're comimg for you all!"
He fired a revolver three times as one hit a witch and the other two went flying though the air. One hit a tree. The other just whizzed on by. The man started to run away but had gotten tackled by one of the people dressed up in a black suits with the pale skin and dark eyes. Then the man was arrested.
The play went on showing the mob hanging the witches with the black lightning appearing afterwords. as the mob got killed and the creatures became them. One of them touched clyde's dead body becoming him. Then it ended.

It was a beautiful day as the sun was shining and there was no clouds in sight. Stanley Kaplan took his wife kelly and his three daughter's jenny,lisa,kelly Jr and there golden retriever to the park. He was filming them playing around with the dog. He panned over his wife. When he seen her face. It was pale white. As her eyes were pitch dark and her veins were the same color.
  He blinked thinking somethings wrong with the camera. Then he went back to her to see the same thing. His face showed fright. His wife looked at him asking him whats wrong and to stop pointing that camera as she didntlike to be filmed. He said nothing. He just continued to film his daughters. Having fun playing around.
  Before they left the park stanley saw a man filming a woman. Who was playing with a german shepard.
Later that night when he was at home. He had been acting different. Concerned but quite. Not his usual happy self. Kelly went to talk to him saying sweety i dont get it. You been acting weird. He replied with a smile saying im sorry dear! just alot on my mind. You know i just got laid off from the mill and its just stress. She accepted this and that was the end of it for a about a week.
    He didnt touch her for those days. Infact he didnt know what to do or think. All he knew was since she came back from her vacation. she hadnt been acting the same. I mean she looked like his Kelly but she wasnt the same sweet sensitive womam she once was. She was cold not just with feelings but with her touch. She felt below zero. She acted like nothing matteted including him. She didnt treat the kids the same. They'd say mommy's acting funny. She wouldn't kiss there foreheads, read them there favorite stories or tell them she loved them. And with her husband she wasnt pleasant she'd brush him off not giving him the time of day. She'd go the basement, Lock the door and spend all hours of the night down there.
During that week before the incident stanley met lewis. A man with a buzz cut,stocky build. who towered high in the sky. They had met at a bar stanley frequented called the lost era. It was a dimly lit plave with dust everywhere. That had a pool table and darts. It wasnt a place alot of people went to and that was the way Stanley like it.  Lewis and Stanley quickly became good friends in that week. bullshitting, playing darts having a good ole time getting drunk. He eventually told lewis in his drunkenness about what he had seen that day at the park. Lewis didnt know what to say but he listened anyway.
   after the week was completed. Stan came home to a tragedy. It was about two in the morning. when Stan walked through the door in his drunken stupor. He drunkenly stumbled to the kitchen to make a sandwich. When he saw a trail of blood. He followed it to the basement door. He tried to open it but it was locked. He rammed it a couple of times and ended up breaking it. While he fell down the stairs.
He stood up after a minute of feeling woozy with a couple of scrapes and cuts on him . He stumbled to the light and turned it on. When the basement illuminated itself. He seen black veins everywhere. He drunkenly stumbled around. Then he seen his dog's dead body. He started to puke.  he heard screams from up above.
He drunkenly ran back up the stairs to follow it. They were coming from his daughter's room. He face planted next to the room. When he got up. He ran in to see Kelly jr dead body. As she was stabbed to death. Then he checked on the other two. They had been stabbed to death too. He went to his room. His wife wasn't there.
He screamed for her. She didnt answer. he went to the kitchen to grab the phone and call the police. As he entered the kitchen. his wife was sitting in there smiling with her pale skin and black veins. She looked at him and said i know you know. I can read minds. You looked at me through the camera. You shouldnt of done that. Now i gotta kill you.
She grabbed her bloody knife and charged him but before she could stab him. She got shot in the bavk of the head. Then She fell over and stan seen lewis looking back at him.
Lewis said that day at the park i seen you and her. I knew then and there what was happening. Im sorry. I had to do this.
Stan who was baffled and stunned said nothing for what seemed like forever. Then he said who are you? Really!
Lewis said my real names Reno and I'm from the new found glory. We look for these evil creatures and kill them. Like your wife! when did she start acting stange or has she always been this way.
Stan replied with tears going down his cheeks. As he was crying," when she got back from her trip in Reginald last year.
Reno thought for a moment. Then said thank you. Im sorry for your loss but there's monsters in this world. You gotta be careful out there. Call detective Russo tell him what happened here. Ill give yoou his card. He'll clean this mess right up.
Then Reno left.

As Stanley was strapped down to a chair in a dirty jail cell of what looked like a basement. Father Mallory and a man with a sheriffs uniform walked in. The man with the sherrifs uniform pulled out a black blade silver edged knife with a black and silver handle that twisted itself around to look like a snake.
He said my name's sheriff Coggins and my assosiate here is father mallory. He would like to know a few things. If you answer our questions. We'll let you go. No fuss no muss. Ok!
Stanley strapped down to the chair with a fierce look in his eyes. Spits at them. Then says fuck you.
Sherrif Coggins laughed as he said i like em fiesty. Then father Mallory spoke faithfully," whose comings for us?
Stanley laughed then said your mother asshole. You're not gonna get shit from me.
Sherrif Coggins stabbed him in the gut and left it in there. As he spoke confidently, ill get this information one way or another.
Father mallory hunched over stanley. He showed him his rotten jagged teeth. Then he spoke blowing his sulfer breath on stanley in a wicked manner," my dear boy! Your in hell now. We're the devils here! I take it you killed the creature sent to you. What a shame. I liked her.
  Stanley who was sweating while coughing up blood spits it at the father as he spoke grasping for air," like i said fuck you! I killed that bitch!" Then he laughed while weezing.
Father mallory whispered something at the sherrif. The sherrif walked out of the room. then came back in after a minute with a pale skin,black veined black eyed creature.
The creature touched stanley. He sees his memories. Then becomes him. Stanley felt that burning sensation and becomes a puddle of blood and bones.
The new stanley looked back at the father and the sherrif. Then he spoke with dread," its those new found fucks. There coming for us.
Father mallory looked angerly at the sherrif as he spoke," fuck tell Marion. We'll need all hands on deck.
Then they all left the room going there seperate ways.

It was becoming night. The sun was setting but the sky was black and cloudy.
People were out in the wood exploring,searching for the prizes and lost treasures that Marion had put out there. 
He had said they're the grandest things to ever to seen. That they'd be in black and white chests. A man named chester Ruse found 10000 dollars, a woman named Tara found tons of gold coins. While a husband and wife found gems with a spell book.
As it got later a pale skinned man  with grey veins and grey eyes. Blew a horn. While blaring sirens for everyone to hear as he spoke through a system that sounded itself around the whole forest. as he creepily said your times almost up. You can either come back and try again tomorrow as theres still more left or stay through the night but if you do. you might not come back!

Some tourists decided to stay in search of riches beyond their control. As the night fell the fog was in full bloom. The stars were out and the creatures and being were in control. They started to kill and transform into there victims. Leaving them in puddles of bone and blood but other tourists thought,well that looks real.
Reno with a group of three other men, a woman and a black smokey figure with yellow eyes had infiltrated the wood. While setting up shop in a cabin out of reach from the creatures,beings and demons. They had set booby traps by the cabin. They showed up the week everyone was setting up for the festival. When the town was busy. As it was the best time for there plan to go into motion. Unnoticed!
They walked through the forest with there guns in hand, Special video glaases on to see whats real and their powers set to destroy. As they themselves were supernaturally gifted. The woman Zeba was a pale black eyed black veined creature. Reno himself was a red eyed demon and the other 2 alpha and beta were of the same variety but with military training. As the third man named zeta williams from the special forves unit. He was a good hearted man of the light. Who could do powerful things with white light and the goodness in his soul and zentra the smokey eyed figure.
They pilgramaged through the forest cleansing the evil from it. Saving lives! Shooting the pale people,sucking in the smokey creatures through there mouths consuming there souls and gaining there essence making them stronger. The big sleak red and black demons took more work. As they were the strongests of the bunch.
The unit camoflauged themselves by turning back to there natural states of being. As not to be spotted. They found some of the entry points of the black lightning. Zeta shot a light from his hand exploding the black light from existence.
Then at the end of the night they went back to get rest and wait to let there plan unfold.
