The castle was awake, monsters and shadows seemed to dance across the walls. The hallways echoed and groaned. It seemed to shift right underneath my feet. I curled up in my bed and covered myself with my blanket. Footsteps neared my bed as I shivered uncontrollably. 

"Go away!" I screamed. 

Silence. Nothing but insufferable silence. Fear ignited as I exhaled sharply and gently removed my blanket. A black mist swirled in front of me. It felt evil and sinister. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I felt like a fly ensnared in a Black Widows web. 

"I am your salvation." A raspy whisper pierced my mind. 

I couldn't scream, I couldn't hide, I was completely paralyzed. The darkness remained still before swallowing me whole. 

"They will all die." The same sinister voice sounded in my head before I lost consciousness.

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.
