It was silent, dark, and cold. The crescent moon was the only source of light on this dark night, I walked through the woods hugging myself trying to shield my bare arms from the cold night. "Silent....." I jumped and spun around, nothing was there... I looked around, someone or something just whispered in my ear. I carefully turned around and started walking again, gripping my arms tighter. I got goose bumps and the hairs on the back of my neck stood, I heard it again... "But smiling~" This time I stopped completely, my eye's shooting around trying to find the source. I saw what looked like a large smile with pointed teeth, It disappeared as my eyes landed on it then in an almost demon like voice it said "You might want to run!"

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
