Prologue

“Caw” “Caw” Have you ever noticed a flock of birds singing around you so loudly that it made your head hurt, and then suddenly you hear nothing? So quiet that the dead could wake, and you would hear their caskets creaking as they open them? Or better yet, have you had just a strange feeling that something very bad is about to happen? That is exactly how I felt when I heard the crows cawing outside of my room at the hotel. One minute they were giving me a migraine and my head felt like it was about to burst. The next, it was dead quiet, and I could swear I heard a hiss coming from behind the bathroom door. It is so quiet that it freaks me out a little when I get the feeling that “She” will poke out from under the bed or leave a present for me to find in the morning. Looking up from my book, I listen for them again. I strain my eyes as I try to look out the window to see where they went, but all I see is Darknes

Chapter 1: 10 Years Earlier

Chapter 1: 10 years earlier Ten years earlier as I’m driving home from my nephew’s 5th birthday party while partially drunk, I happen to notice that it’s getting close to 9 pm and it is completely dark out. “Wow, where has the day gone?” I murmur under my breath, before turning on the radio and settling on one of my favorite classic rock stations. The whole time I can’t help but to think that this feels wrong. It’s too dark, the moon is nowhere to be found. A little further down the road, while I stare out over the dark highway and watch the shadows move, I see someone alongside the road walking and I immediately slow down. She is a young woman walking alone. I look her up and down and notice right away that she looks like she has been traveling like this for quite some time. Stopping to help her, I realize that she must be homeless. Her clothes are all wet, stained, and tattered. Her amazin

Chapter 2: In Her Clutches

The next thing I know, I am in one of the E. R. rooms and they are shaking me violently. When I glance around the room, it is dark all around me except for the big spotlight that is trained over my face, and it is blinding me. I hear Tara’s voice in the background, and it sounds like I am underwater. She is talking to the police officers while she fills them in on what happened. As I listen, cold settles in my bones, and when I cough, I breathe in the purified air that feels somehow foreign. “I just went up to the desk to sign him in and when I came back, he had blacked out. So, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to it.” Hearing Tara's shaky voice as she converses with the officers, I just want to get up and hug her to let her know I’m fine. Yet, at the same time I find that I am too weak to move and that frightens me. I have always been physically strong, so this new development is strange to say the l

Chapter 3: Dead Inside

"Jason, wake up! Tara shakes me and I can barely open my eyes. "You were having a bad nightmare and I have to go home to get the kids ready for school. Are you feeling better?" She asks as she puts her purse on the table and grabs her jacket. Sitting up, I lie to her, "Yes, now go home and get them to school before I start feeling bad that you stayed the night." Just as she starts to open the door I comment, "Tara, you are the best. I mean it, I don't know what I would have done without you all these years." She turns back to me and walks over to give me a hug, putting her arms around my neck. Hugging me tight, she kisses my cheek and I smell her favorite perfume when she straightens up. "Little brother, for the longest time I thought you would turn out to be a complete asshole, but then there are times like this that make me think there is hope for you." She laughs and walks to the door. Watch

Chapter 4: Confinement

"Let me out of here." I yell, while fighting the nurse in my manic state as she tries to give me some kind of medicine in a blue bottle. Looking up at her, I could swear that she looks like the red haired woman but older, with grey hair. I try to sit up, but they have me tied down with leather straps for a 72 hour involuntary psychiatric hold. The room I am in is stark, white and the lights are those big round operating room lights that hurt my eyes when I look up at them. Trying to think of anything I possibly can to get out of here, I resort to begging. "Please, I need to get out of here. I suffer from White Coat Syndrome and if you keep me in here, I will go crazy. I can't be around all these doctors if you expect me to be able to calm down." I remember when I was little, my older brother died because a drunk driver swerved over on the sidewalk. He hit him while he was picking up my ball. My parents drove to

Chapter 5: So Far So Good

"Hey, little bro. What are you doing here? I thought you wanted to stay in the hotel for the night?" She says as she opens the door and I stare at her because something feels off. Welcoming me in from the dark dreary night, she hugs me before I enter and smiles a sort of half smile. After he dropped me off, I hesitated to knock on her door but realized that she was the only one who didn't think I was completely nuts. Besides, hopefully "She" doesn't like to be seen by others and being around a group of people will actually be to my advantage, not sitting out here in the dark all by myself. However, when I see Max and Tara together and how happy they are, I won't do this to them. I can't be the one who ends up bringing it here. So, after visiting with Max and my sister for a little while, I leave. Taking Tara to the side, I ask, "Do you mind driving me back to my house briefly so I can pick up my Jeep? I am going t

Chapter 6: Why Do I Feel Like I'm Going Insane?

"Tick tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock."Waking up, I keep my eyes closed for a few minutes and try to recall the day before or the day before that for the matter. Increasingly, the last few weeks have all started to blur together and there are times when I don't even remember what I did for days on end. Turning over, I sense something next to me on the edge of the bed and hesitate to open my eyes. I could swear I get a whiff of something pungent in my nostrils.My blood starts pumping when I feel something familiar next to me. I open my eyes to see the red haired woman right in front of me, with a sickening smile on her face. Knowing that she has been stalking me, more and more I get used to seeing glimpses of her. However, this time she has purposely shown herself and that bothers me more than anything. A

Chapter 7: Ojai

"What are you doing?" A woman yells, bringing me out of my trance. I gaze at the gory scene in front of me and smell the acrid scent of blood overloading my senses. Before I turn around, I notice the bloody machete in my hand and try to hide it under my shirt. The woman behind me, points at me and screams, "He killed her." Scanning the crowd around me, I catch a glimpse of red and look closer. There she stands, the soul eater with her black soulless eyes just smiling at me with that smile that still creeps me out. You would think that it wouldn't after all this time, but it still gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Seeing her, makes my fight or flight instinct kick in and I run. Running as fast as I can, I keep going till I can't hear the woman screaming anymore and I have put enough distance between us. I consider throwing the machete into the water, but instead I lift the lid to the dumpster and throw it

Chapter 8: Virginia City

"Knock. Knock." "Hey, buddy. You haven't paid the bill for the last two days. Open up, before I am forced to call the police." A male voice yells out over the angry pounding of my migraine. I get my butt out of bed and amble across the room to the door. Only realizing too late that I am naked, I open the door and the twenty something punk kid looks down at my junk and laughs. Wanting to smack that smile off of his face, I inhale deeply through my nose and hold it in for 10 seconds. After I calm down, I answer him. "Hold on a minute and I will get your money. Come on in and have a seat. If you take a pic, it will last longer." I remark snydly before I go to grab my wallet. The whole time I am bending over to grab my jeans, I can just imagine he is making faces at me. Yes, I am naked. But really people. I want to wrap my fingers around his scrawny little neck and choke t

Chapter 9: Torrey

"Hey Mr., are you O.K.?" I turn around and a little boy of about 5 with bib overalls on, stands in front of me and stares. Focusing on him, I answer calmly and smile. "Yes. I am. Thank you for asking." Trying to decipher exactly where I am, I scan the area for any landmarks but all I come up with is a townhall and what looks to be the post office. As of the moment, all I know is that I am in a very small town and it looks like there are mountains all around us. Perhaps even a national park by the way hikers are walking down the street. I can tell they are hikers, because they all have those seemingly standard hiking boots and backpacks. Not to mention, they are carrying their phones around and taking pictures in front of the old time townhall. Wondering how on earth I got here, I try to jog my memory but fail hopelessly. Chucking this up to another one of the soul eater's games, I wait for th
