Lights flash; various doors open, voices call out to each other.
"Did you hear a scream Harry " a half dressed Young man asks.
"I did "
I such dress myself directly "
"It seems still now"
I don't believe i was dreaming when I heard the scream "
I too heard such scream so it be not a nightmare "
A tap on the door a female voice
"For God's sake awake "
"We are awoken "
"Did you hear a scream "
"Yes"
"We must search the house do you know which part it came from "
"No Mother we do not "
A middle aged man appears on the developing scene .
"What is afoot ".
Rapid succession of shrieks leaves all of them stunned. The elderly lady known to all as mother faints to the floor. The middle age man let's out a cry .
"Help me support your mother Henry .And quickly run towards Flora s room for the scream cameth from there "
The other young man runs back to his room and bounds towards Flora s room armed with a pair of pistols in his hands. As he approach s the door it is locked and as he trys to break in by running up at speed with his shoulder he comes to the quick conclusion that something of weight is behind it.
Henry arrive s on the scene
"Fetch me a crowbar "
Henry comes back with said crowbar and with the combined strength thier manage to break down the door and push aside the oak wardrobe placed behind it.
""Flora ;Flora" both cry out in unison. .
Something or being in a single bound dashs of the bed ;it is making a dash to the open window .Both men run a full pelt to stop it's momentum. Both stopped in thier tracks as a pair of metallic eyes meet thier with unearthly ferocity. At that moment the the young man were paralysed with fear at the thought of detaining this hideous form. The middle aged man Mr March dale has entered this scary scene, he has seen much in his life and is not so astonished ;he rises his hand and with his pistol in hand let's fire.The figure of the fearsome tall form he believes he had shot at close range looks upon him with a wry hideous smile on his deformed face.The being lets out a strange howling noise and rush s at Mr. March dale but suddenly halts and utters a wild terrible manic laugh and in an instant the being has gone through the window.
Over on the bed and ashen pale Flora is lying on the side of her neck are two small round marks oozing a tickle of her life giving blood.
