The next part to Nightmare on Jefferson. A strange book that could not be opened causes trouble.


Dane walks into the kitchen were William was fixing himself a snack. Dane had sat on the dining table, he looked like he saw a ghost. William had turned around and looked at him.

"Dane...what's wrong, you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay, my dad killed mom."

"What are you saying, how do you know that?"

Dane had tossed the letter out on the table, and William had picked it up to read it.

"Oh my gosh, well it doesn't mean he killed her, he never said he did."

"Fuck! You're to fucking positive! Can't you see! Why would he know she died of unnatural causes?"

"Dane I'm sorry, just calm down."

William had grabbed Dane and hugged him tightly. Dane started to sob uncontrollably into his arms. Dane had pushed William away and ran up into his room where he curled up into a ball on his bed. William ran after him and stood in the doorway looking at him.

"Dane, can I come in?"

Dane continued to cry into a pillow. William walked up and crawled next to him in bed. He faced him and lifted Danes head.

"Let's wipe off those sad little tears."

William had wiped Danes face with his thumbs and held Danes head close to him chest.

"What do I do Will? What am I suppose to do about this?"

"There is nothing you can do. It is just a dark secret that should not be found."

William, cuddling with the poor dog had started to get up.

"Dane I'm going to finish packing. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah go ahead I'll be down in a minute."

"William went ahead and went down stairs."

Dane had gotten up, wiped his tears, and followed after William

"We should pack up one room at a time, also together so hat it will be faster." mentioned William.

"Seems like a plan to me."

They had started to pack up the kitchen when Dane has questioned, "Do I call the cops?"

"Only if you want to. Your mother wasn't filed under homicide this will open up a case. See who killed her, your dad or someone else, but do you need that stress?"

"I.... I just need to know, but I also don't want to know if my father killed her."

William gave Dane a hug, and said, "I only want to see you happy."

Dane looked up at William, smiled and said, "I am happy."

"I love you baby."

"And I you."

"Now let's get to work!"

Dane laughed, "Okay let's pack up."

The kitchen was finished and so were the bedrooms. Both Dane and William were in the study where Mr.Edwards worked and kept the treasures he earned over his years. William was cleaning out a closet and he found an odd looking book.

"Dane, What is this?"

"Let me see that. I have no idea, but it looks strange."

He tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. William had grabbed it to take a go at it.

"This is strange, it is just a book. Why won't it open?" said William with a strain.

"What doe it say on the cover? It looks spanish."

"It is but I forgot how to read it, but it has been awhile since I was in high school." ,William laughed.

"Let's look it up I want to know why a silly paper book won't open."

"Dane, we need to finish packing."

Dane looked at William with his puppy dog eyes," Please..."

William sighs,"Fine, you big baby."

They had go onto the computer to translate the words on the cover of the book. William decided to also check if the book was sold anywhere else, but he couldn't find anything.

"Will I got it!"

"Well tell me what it says."

"It doesn't make sense at all but it says, I am the essence of regret. I am the conductor of game. I and the conjurer of storms. The Manipulator, Death, Fear, and the Darkness are my names. I steal your soul when you can't see. I possess you, now open me."

In almost an instant POW! Ash flung out of the air vents covering everything. The dogs were blind and could not see a thing.

William and Dane were coughing and couldn't breath.

"Dane where are you? We need to get out!"

"I'm by the window Will."

William had tried to find Dane and once he did he rushed them out of the room as fast as he could, but the whole house was stormed with ash. They could not see a thing within an inch of their faces.

"Will I'm scared! What do we do?"

"We need to run outside fast, and don't let go."

William held on to Danes paw and rushed outside. They were coughing so hard and could not breath. William had found the way out and he took Dane and ran out.

"Dane! Are you okay? Can you breath?"

Coughing, "I'm fine are you okay? I can barley see."

"I can't see either. We need water."

William took Danes paw again and rushed to the outside well. He splashed his eyes with water several time until he could see better, then he took care of Dane.

William rubbed his eyes and looked at Dane.

"My gosh we need to get you to the hospital. You're bleeding from your mouth and eyes. Hurry we need to go!"

Dane was once again being dragged by William. they had gotten into the car and started to drive. Dane was starting to fall asleep and was bleeding profusely.

"Dane stay awake baby, I need you to stay awake. We are almost to the hospital, but you need to stay awake for me. Stay awake baby, please."

Dane grabbed Williams paw and said, "I love you, and I want to stay with you forever."

He had passed out and left go of Williams hand.

"Baby wake up! Dane wake up! Please baby, I need you."

Dane would not wake up nor would he budge. William bursted into tears and sped to the hospital. Once William had gotten there Dane was set to the E.R. and William had collapsed when he saw dane being taken away.
