"I need you." Carl's sobs are barely audible as he swallows the growing lump in his throat. I take a step closer to him, cupping his cheek with my hand before using my thumb to wipe away a few stray tears. He buries his head in my shoulder and I pull him closer to me, embracing him in a hug. He wraps his arms around me like his life depends on it, his cries muffled against my jacket. I kiss the side of his head, rubbing small circles in his back to calm him. 
"Shh. You have me."

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.
