Maria pov

I don't know.. so many murders..! It's horrifying..! 
"Maria snap out of it! We have to head to class c'mon!" My best friend Malcom says, grabbing my hand. "But Malcolm-!" I say, but Malcolm is already pulling me along, though he loses track and ends up behind the school, we find the head of a junior student behind school, cut off, separated from her body, there's faintly someone's hair whipping around the corner before they disappear. "WHAT THE-!?" I'm cut off by Malcom's horrified scream, I shriek,  horrified. A teacher runs around the building and looks at the student then looks at Malcolm and I's pale faces. "WHAT THE HELL-!?" The teacher shrieks "WHAT HAPPENED-!?" 
I try to speak but I'm just in a mix of shrieking and tears, and so is Malcom. I finally manage to catch my breath. "I-...." my voice shakes "w-we came a-around, due to Malcom's lack of c-concentration a-and-! She was just h-here..!"

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.
