I'm kinda like a bug in the dark; if I see a bright light in a dark room I'm gonna to head towards it. This is not always a good thing. 

    When your 16 years old, only have one person to talk to and have never been outside, its hard to trust people. 
     I'm not aloud to look out the window he says, it's dangerous he's says. Neither is Dana, she calls me Kathleen but I like Katie.  But he calls us slaves, the man who keeps us here. He's evil, he does stuff to us and makes us clean, or any biding of his choice, until it's time to sleep. We can never leave, never.
   You may think their is a way, that there is hope. 
  I hate to tell you but hope an illusion.

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.
