"Perhaps they need to brush up on they're research, right, Rosalyn?"

I felt myself nod, without the intention to. I had turned my head and smiled as if I were talking to someone next to me. "Of course, Rose."

She smiled back, a sickly sweet smile that would make anyone's stomach turn. I felt my mouth twitch, wanting to form the same smile and coniving look that danced in her eyes that were identical to my own. Her hand reached out and landed on my arm. I didn't feel it. "I'm pleased to hear that you agree, Rosalyn. Now, let's head back to our room."

She began to walk down the deserted hall, back to our room. The only thing that kept me from following her was the file that I had locked in my hands. I peered down at it once more, reading what the doctors had written.

"... the patient rooms alone and scarcely allowed out... she is a potential danger to the other patients."

Alone. I room alone.

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.
