The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances 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 Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances 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 Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances 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.
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising dead: Confrontation- Part 2
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

Thomas managed to secure her with some cuffs he had with him, it didn’t fit her properly but it would work for the time being.He then walked to Elizabeth and Maggie and wrapped his big strong arms around them making them both feel safe and contained, Maggie clutched to the blue fabric that once was her sister's dress and kissed it softly in her memory.The sound of screams brought the neighbours all over the house, finding the horrifying scene, as soon as Thomas explained the situation Claudia was taken into the police station.Rory was one of the first people to arrive and he held Maggie in his gaze, she knew that they could not interact directly but she knew he was looking over at her.Her father was furious at Claudia and scared of what could have happened to his only living child, he thanked Elizabeth and Thomas and offered anything they wanted for ridding the town of the undead.Alan Murray woke up in Claudia’s house not knowing the events that had transpired but as soon as he s
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The burning of the witch
After the events that transpired at the mayor's Lucas Saweyer’s house where an undead attacked the only living child of the town’s leader, Maggie, by moving corpses commanded by the town's doctor Claudia Martin. The residents of Crawley had been shaken that night and the whole affair was aggravated by the days of fear that they had experienced with the fog and the horrible images it could be holding, the imagination was an enemy to the people of this town. When this type of tension, feelings of unsafety and fear collide in people's lives for this long it pushes people to their most primal selves…and the residents of this town had enough of all three and qualified their actions after the events transpired as primal would be too kind. The burning of a Witch had not been a thing in civilised England in a long time, even the late Queen Anne had pardoned one Jane Wenhamw from hanging a century ago out of the out barbarity of the whole affair, and probably due to her innocence. But the c

Elizabeth sat comfortably at Alan Murray's kitchen table. A cup of tea was resting near her with toasted bread and slices of cheese as the house owner was taking off her bandages to clean her burn. Alan took a soft wet cloth and started to clean the wound gently, even tho his movements were slow and careful she still winched in pain ever so often “Do you think it will leave a mark?” “I am afraid it will Lass, this is going to be with you for life…” He says completely sure but smiles at her “But it will be a reminder that you saved someone's life once, a person that was dear to me” Elizabeth hissed as the burned flesh on her palm was being cared for but tried to keep high spirits “It was my pleasure, I know that Michael is very dear to you…and the type of attachment you made with him after your wife died.” Alan was silent for a couple of seconds, that was a secret he didn’t want anyone to know about there was something about this London girl who knows more than a Lady should that ma

Maggie was walking down the streets in the early night accompanied by Rory Thompson, they shouldn’t be walking together but they just couldn’t be that far away from each other. Rory was a little more protective now of her, while her father believe danger had passed the Thompson boy was not that at ease since he heard the events of the death of Claudia Martin. He made sure that Maggie knew some of the details of what happened there, as least graphic as possible but he avoided the alleged curse that she left before giving herself to the dark one. Maggie was happily being led by Rory as she was latching onto his arm, she felt happy, she hoped that this was a thing they could do in daylight, going on picnics and strolling down the streets like men and wife. There was a small almost imperceptive sound reminiscent of a hound that got Maggie to stop and turn her head back to the road they were walking “Did you hear that?” Rory looks back to where she is facing but he shrugs his shoulders

The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Between Hell and an ANgery Mob part 2
The mob walked at them with a powerful and angry pace and when the team looked backwards the Hounds were growling at them with an ready expression.Apparently Misses Crisco shared all the information with her husband and they decided to turn the entire town of Crawley against Maggie.There was no were to go and the angry contingent of people moved to them with the clear intention of harming anyone on their way to get what they want.Elizabeth didn’t know what was worse the angry mob or the supernatural creatures from hell coming after them.As the crowd got closer they started surrounding Maggie and shielding her but Nathaniel Cirsco and his wife Genysys had a way with their methods, they manage to circle around them.The hounds were blocked off, but they weren’t withdrawing either and the sense of danger increased by the second.And they were not relenting but pushing forward to try to break the circle so they could get their hands on the ‘cursed’ woman, and front time to time one o

Everyone in the room was silent, she was giving a solution that didn’t make sense to them and it was certainly not amusing the mayor Sawyer.Thomas was surprised by her words but on a quick inspection, she was right. Mayor Swayer held his daughter close “I think you better explain yourself at once'' the idea was not at all appealing to him in the slightest.His only living child eloped with the grandson of a witch, he was not going to allow that in any shape or form. Not without a very, very, very good explanation. Elizabeth extended her hands forward signalling everyone to stay in place and give her time to explain, her breath was heavy after that horse ride but she was determined to save Maggie “Thanks to Thomas's brave efforts…'' she said acknowledging her companion “we found out that Hellhounds are given a name to destroy, they can't harm innocents only the person whose name was given to him. The answer then is to change her name'' She was starting to make sense to everyone e
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Racing against the sun
Elizabeth had waited for hours and the sun was threatening to completely disappear, she was worried and alone. She had paced back in forth for hours and had sat on a nearby rock too.She was scared for Thomas and the mission he had embarked on alone, he could be dead or been fragged to hell, and everything her mind could come up with was unnerving but luckily a familiar purr was heard down her leg helped her ease her down a bit, it was Claudia Martins's calico cat, Missy. She picked her up and held her in her arms and petted her holding her close to her chest.“How are you feeling miss Kitty?”. the cat meows at her as it starts moving her head in circles against her chest “You must have been very scared and alone, don’t worry I’ll take care of you so you don't have to be alone anymore''.They kept each other company until she heard the steps of someone running out of the cave and from the dark and shadowy cave Thomas Kent's image appeared, he was breathing fast and with an extremely
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The cave from Hell
Elizabeth and Thomas were determined to find this cave and they decided to go prepared, crosses, holy water and anything resembling faith. If this truly was going to be a walk through the caves that lead to the pits of hell they wanted to be as close to heaven as possible.They walked up to Clauida’s house since they thought that there might be a chance that the gate to hell would be nearby.The once peaceful place was now destroyed and torn open by an angry swarm of people, in their fear-mongering minds there can be no traces of a person that called on the devil.Thomas and Elizabeth searched for hours, the grounds near the house and had even gone as far as to return to the home itself to see if the cavern was inside of it.But there was no trace of it so they started walking from it outwards to expand their search and in a couple of yards, Thomas found the dreaded entrance.There was a sombre aspect to it, while they found what they needed deep down they didn’t want to believe that
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Looking for a way forward
A quick envoy to Murrey would alert The Society to the most basic of information about the events of the last night and urged them to go directly to the mayor's house.The pair of detectives walked to the Sawyer house to find a congregation of familiar faces as soon as they crossed the threshold of the house.Sitting on the Sofa you could see Genysys Crisco with a cup of tea in hand looking both angry and upset, Rory Thompson resting against the wall in the corner, his body language was one of not wanting to draw attention. Lucas Sawyer was standing behind his daughter in a protective stance with a concerned look in his eyes, Maggie had a tired and pained expression this was waying on her heavily. The Reverend of Crawley was also there, bible in hand in his full attire, with holy water in one of his pockets pacing around the room.Elizabeth and Thomas took steps closer to them and when they finally found the courage they finally spoke “What happened? Tell us, and spare no detail”Th
