"Trust me," he whispered, "I wouldn't let you get hurt." 
"How do I know that?", She responded. 
 "Have I ever let you get hurt?" 
 "No," she frowned "Not until you told me I could no longer fight. Then you hurt me in the worst way possible."
 "Why is that?"
  "Fighting against something that almost destroyed me is the biggest thrill i've ever felt, and you took that away with me." 
 "Would you rather die?" 
 "It's a good day to die, Noah Verailes. You could turn you head and pretend you didn't see."

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.
