All Chapters of The Darkness: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Escaping the PastPresent DayThe sun was setting over the city when Jimmy woke to an empty bed. He reached out searching for his wife but found only her pillow and sheets cold. Jimmy noticed the clock; it was 6:00 p.m. "Nat?" He mumbled rolling on his back and opting to just lay there. Jimmy’s mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions and then he remembered the journal and the house. “Honey?”"In here," Natalia said from the front room.Jimmy finally climbed out of bed after another fifteen minutes and entered the study, which was part of their bedroom. On the desk was the journal and it seemed to draw his attention.Natalia walked in holding a cup of coffee. "What are you doing?""I was reading," Jimmy mumbled. "It doesn't make any sense, does it? The more I learn about what happened in that home, the more questions I have. They all seem to go back to Oshey and Yada.""I told you before, it is one big puzzle." Natalia shared the coffee with her husband.Jimmy started t

*Author Note*I realize that in our reality cellphones and computers were not prevalent in 1986. But this is a work of function in a supernatural realm and not reality so there are mentions of advanced technology.~~~1986Oshey drove back across town. The small red Ford Escort was packed full of boxes and crates. She pulled into the parking area looking up at her door. "Home, " Oshey mumbled, climbing the steps carrying a semi-heavy box. The door next to her apartment opened and Alex walked out wiping his hands on a dish towel that hung over his shoulder."Hey," Oshey said, dropping the box to her feet and fishing out the keys. "Would you mind?" She said, tossing him the key ring and picking the box back up. “I still am not sure how to unlock the truck lock."Not at all,” Alex walked a few feet and fumbled with the door.Oshey smelled the air walking into her apartment. "Your friend must be a good cook, it smells wonderful."Alex blushed as he held the door open. "He can be w

1986"Damn, you have a private beach. You know Shey that rocks. I could get used to living in a place like this." Cornell said, locking his fingers with his."That is what I thought as well. I fell in love with this place. I have the coolest landlord and the most awesome neighbor. Cammie loves it here as well. I kind of fell into it.” Oshey brought his hand to her lips. “The rent isn't that bad either." Oshey knew she had to stop this. “Come on, I will show you around.”Oshey stepped from the car and led Cornell to the apartment steps. Deep down she knew Cornell was dangerous for her. They had been close since the moment they met. Being with Cornell stopped the dreams of wolves and monsters.Cornell looked into her eyes trying to capture every inch of her. "How much do these digs run you?" he asked, climbing the stairs with her."Would you believe $200.00 a month? I was all like yeah, I'll take it. It was a no-brainer.” Oshey gave a playful smile."Damn girl I would

The Truth of AlexAlex listened intently once more, as she told him of what she referred to as wolf-men. This would be the part where most people would prejudge her as being crazy, or just eccentric, and their minds would drift off to other topics. The complete opposite was true for Alexander. "Go on.""I have been seeing this man, and last night leaving the Civic Center, I swear I actually saw him. In the visions or whatever we want to call them, I have seen him, I even know what he smells like. He scares me in my visions, but seeing him today he didn't seem so harsh. Okay, now I know I'm crazy but I even know his name and I have never met him before."Oshey looked up over her glass at him. "Alex, I have a very open mind and I cannot always explain what I see or hear, and I believe there is more out there than you or I can see. But I do not believe in just conjuring up someone, from a vision or having them just, appear like that. So I guess, I was wondering what was going on in my mi

1986 "Kasper," Quinn said into the phone.  "You are not going to believe this.  I found Oshey." "Say that again,” Kasper said as he quickly sat forward in the chair, excitement coloring his features. "I found her, she is here, but she is different.  I can't explain right now."  Quinn paced as his free hand ran through his hair. Kasper stood, pulling his boots to his feet, and struggled to make them fit.  "Where are you at?"  He half mumbled trying not to fall on his face. "Near the bank.  I'm going to go talk to Gynn and see what she says about this."  Quinn felt his heart about to burst out of his chest.
