The Rising dead: The abandoned cabin

Thomas walked to the abandoned place that belonged to Thompson’s late grandmother, he had no problem following his instructions and in no time he was at the place.The cabin was not that far removed from society, a couple of yards away and the town would be visible, but it was clear that no one walked near it and probably if asked they would deny its existence or just treat it like a haunted place.There was a small path leading up to it but surrounding it was tall grass and he could probably hear rabbits or other rodents moving through it. It was an old construction and it was abandoned long ago, it had a dilapidated look and you could see through some parts of it, the windows were cracked and the door was broken and it was held by the lower hinge and it was ajar.Thomas silently walked up to the house and took a look, it was a complete mess: construction wood on the floor, the odd mice and a scent of rust and mold.The construction had two rooms and both of them allowed a perfect v

The rising dead: Comparing notes

The smell of cooking chicken and rice was engulfing Alan’s house as Elizabeth sat on the sofa writing on her journal thinking as the Scotsman prepared their meal.Unexpectedly the door opens as Thomas walks inside the room prompting the young woman to look at him, in that gaze she analyses Thomas's face.Elizabeth smiled with glee “You found out something, didn't you?”Thomas chuckled “I might have, after seeing Rory Thompson I walked up to the abandoned cabin of his grandmother…a witch… a druid to be exact and the place was ghastly, but I managed to find a clue or two.” he says reaching into his bag while sitting beside her.Alan kept working on the meal as he heard the supernatural investigators.“What you make of Rory Thompson, is he our Necromancer then?” the eager lady asked.“I would doubt it, Elizabeth” he said letting a heavy breath out as he was trying to ease down from his journey “His grandmother might have been a which but he was not eager to tell me that, even less where

The Rising dead: new discoveries

Elizabeth insisted on going out after the meal was done, she was very excited about what she found in the book and it’s contents. The book was opened in her hand in the invisibility page and was headed for Alan’s chicken coup with a headstrong determination and enthusiasm. “What is the Plan Elizabeth?” Thomas said trying to keep up with her pace. “I think I have a theory but I must test it first” she stood now in front of the coup while the chicken were minding their own business. “Please tell me that we are not hurting these animals?” Thomas said as he notice how anxious Alan was. “I assure you as much, that is if I am right” The blond woman said as she held one hand towards the coup and read the footnote that she found on the Petit Albert and chanted “veni ad me caligo et tegere” Elizabeth had just cast a spell and it started working as a thick mist started covering the coup and the chickens. All three of them are in awe of what they were seeing, they could hear the chicken bu

The Rising dead: Picking up the pices

Alan Murray was giving his wife for a second time, he was trying to stop himself, the tears, the memories and the shock but he held on to the skull of his dead wife. The sight was understandable to Thomas and Elizabeth, even tho this was the first time in the Lady’s life she had ever seen a man show his grief or even cry. Elizabeth gently tapped Thomas's arm letting him know it was okay to let go of her, and with empathy in her heart, she knelt beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder. “This must be extremely hard for you Alan, I can't even…” she didn’t know what to say, the words would not come out of her. Alan stopped sobbing but there was a quivering in him “I hurt…she was…I can’t…” his voice broke as he tried leaving the skull on the floor but still holding the locket in his hand. “It wasn’t her Alan, just her…her remains…you have done nothing wrong, you saved us, the necromancer was using her body to kill us.” Elizabeth's words were helping a little but emotion had him

The Rising dead: The story of the Photo

There was a tenderness in her seeing the photograph, for the last conversation Elizabeth had with her it was clear she was extremely close to her mother and the picture brought a lot of emotions back so it was expressed in her face.“This picture was taken so long ago when they were young. They were very good friends…they even were each other's bridesmaids at their weddings…” there was a pause to stop her feelings from pouring out.“They had their little inside jokes, they would knit together and were godmothers to each other's daughters. They were as close as only friends can be” Suddenly it felt like Claudia Martin was frozen in time as if she was actually seeing them around the house: around the fire knitting, with their goddaughters having a funny conversation or both of their families having dinner together, many memories contained in one house, where she was the sole guardian.“What happened to them?” Thomas assumed that it was plague related since his trip to the cemetery with

The Rising dead: Michael Weaver's house

Elizabeth and Thomas stood by the door of Michael Weaver's house, they knocked on the door but no answer came from the other side.There was tension in the air, a million things could explain why Micahel Weaver hasn't answered the door…one of them him being dead by the hand of one of the corpses running around, plus the fact that he hasn't been seen since the appearance of such creatures.The noble-born woman knocked on the door a second time, hoping the first attempt of announcing their presence was just not heard.But a couple of seconds later and no sound came from the other side.Thomas thought it was enough courtesy and decided to try to open the door and he could do it without any problems, it was unlocked.They stepped inside the house tentatively it looked as if it was recently neglected, not in a bad shape but the dust was starting to cast over the surfaces.Elizabeth made a slow turn to see any signs of life at first glance while Thomas was more detailed and he found one cha

The rising dead: Revelation

The creature quickly caught on fire, the dress, the flesh and bones, soon enough it was engulfed by the flames and soon she became ashes, luckily the house didin’t suffer the same fate.Thomas ran to the kitchen for a bucket of water to treat Elizabeth’s wounded hand and Michael knelt down sobbing, the blond detective was whining of pain as her hand would soon be submerged in the water.It was a hasty and blurry moment, so many emotions packed in so little time: Elizabeth, high on adrenaline and in pain, and Thomas scared for Elizabeth, trying to process all the things that happened.As the ashes lay on the ground the truth hit Elizabeth like a bucket of water, Thomas said puzzled “So it’s Maggie?”.The woman clenched her hand around his arm, her eyes still in shock as one single tear fell down her face “It’s-it’s…It’s not Maggie, It’s Mrs Martin, she-she-she is the necromancer” Thomas looked at her eyes as she tried to fight her trembling voice “We need to get to Meredith, FAST”“Wh

The Rising dead: Confrontation Part 1

Maggie's father had left for a social event between friends that night, so she was all alone in her house the sun was starting to set and the views from the window were foreshadowing a night where the fog would cover the streets and her nerves would be shattered once more. As a precision she locked the door of her house, she was that scared. Ofcourse she thought of going to Rory’s house for company but if she were to be found out to be with him her father would probably disown her. She tried keeping calm and tried focusing on house chores and reading a good book, but at the moment when she would forget everything and start to enjoy what she was doing the image of her sister's corpse would appear in her mind and perturb her again. Maggie was not the superstitious type but the events of the last days really got her and it got significantly worse when she looked out the window again and saw nothing more than a dark thick fog, she deduced that it must have expanded to the entire town.

Maggie's eyes were wide open and staring directly into the woman blocking her way, Claudia Martin takes a bold and assertive step forward that scared the young woman enough to fall down on the floor on her buttocks.Behind her she could hear the growling sound of Meredith’s corpse, she turned and she was right in the middle of the stairs looking at her with a blank yet terrifying expression. Mrs Martin is looking down at her with contempt “Look at you…” the disgust and pitiful rage in her voice was painful to hear “soft, clumsy and helpless. Just like you have been all your life…you haven't changed a single bit…” she scoffs at her fearful demeanour and trembling frame “Pathetic and weak, not able to fend for yourself…to the point of others needing to take the risk to protect you, risks that often lead others to their death, but this time…this time, you are getting what you deserve and no one will come to save you”Tears were forming in Maggie's eyes she didn’t understand what was exa
