Rose was my grandmother's name
Rose was her favorite flower
Rose symbolizes love, faith, beauty, passion and wisdom.
And that's exactly what she has.

I never expected that I'd see her lying on a pool of blood
It was a mystery..
She is a mystery... So am I.. 

Rose red was the color of her blood
Rose was her scent
Rose was how she felt like

Everything about a Rose reminds me of her. Everything about her reminds me of a rose.

But grandfather couldn't let her go...
He called the air 'sweetie'
He danced alone
He talked with no one

But he was never alone.. There was someone who never left him.

It was Rose .... But it wasn't the Rose that I knew

I sensed roses everywhere
There was something in this world that she wanted to take with her... 

I feel her presence...
The stronger I deny, the stronger she gets.

Behind her soft petals, her prickly thorns were already reaching out for my flesh.

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.
