Jacob was staring upward at Tori, his head was swimming, after the hammer blow and then getting slid down the stairs, he could barely tell what was going on. He thought for the briefest second that he heard Tori's voice, but his eyes told him it must be his imagination, because Tori's mouth was taped. His eyes blinked in confusion as Greg berated his newly undead wife, goading her down the stairs.<br/><br/>"Help me get him up..." Greg commanded Shanna and they both leaned down and righted Jacob's chair. Greg unlocked the lower door and opened the water filled chamber. The sight of the black pool of water made Shanna cringe again but only until Greg snatched her by the hair and shook the shit out of her. The handful of hair came loose in his hand, this only served to anger him further, so he struck out with his hammerless hand and popped her in the mouth. The punch knocked Shanna's front teeth out and she spit them onto the ground, still crying. "pull yourself together...." He said in a cruel joke, snickering at the woman he'd once loved.<br/><br/>"Alrighty then....Jacob...You first!" Greg snarled pushing past Tori and tossing Jacob's prone, chair-bound form into the murky water from the platform. Jacob took a deep gasping breath as he and the chair he was attached to hit the stinky water and went under immediately.<br/><br/>Greg stood up on the platform laughing, he turned to look at Tori, "How long you think your pretty boyfriend can hold his breath?" Greg said as his pudgy finger tickled the underneath of Tori's chin. He stood watching and laughing while the bubbles started to slow, and then stopped. Tori started freaking out, thinking about Jacob meeting the same fate Shanna had was almost too much for her to bear, she started  struggling against her duct tape restraints and screaming loud enough for it to still be loud,  even with the binding around her mouth.<br/><br/>"Oooh knock it off...You know my master has plans for him...I'm just having a bit of fun!"  Greg snarled inches from Tori's face, squeezing her jawline with his supernaturally strong hand. He turned away and hopped down into the water with a splash, his arm reaching into the black water and searching around for a few seconds before pulling Jacob up. Jacob came up coughing and spitting up the stagnant water, "Scare ya?" Greg asked, still chuckling.<br/><br/>Tori watched from the platform as Greg dragged the chair across the pool of water until they disappeared into the shadows on the other side of the chamber. Tori looked back to her captor, and saw Shanna weeping and picking her lost teeth off the ground. Shanna looked up at her, the bald spot and missing teeth  made her undead complexion even more spooky, she was barely recognizable as the pretty buxom girl Tori had met yesterday.<br/><br/>"Look at me now Thori....Nobody will thove me now!" Shanna cried, her new speech impediment hampering pronunciation.<br/><br/>"Bitch....Don't keep me waiting!" Greg's voice called out from the darkness. Shanna stood slowly and although still crying she wranggled the handles on the dolly and slowy started lowering Tori back into the cold murky water from the platform.<br/><br/>"I'm really thorry Thori....I really really liked you..." Shanna said apologetically and then lowered herself into the water. The subconscious memories of drowning to death reverberated through her and her body spasmed and jerked, splashing water everywhere.<br/><br/>"Stop fucking around, and bring her ass over here you stupid cunt!" Greg called out again, and it was enough to bring Shanna back under control enough to do what was instructed of her, she began pushing Tori through the water over into the blackness of the other side of the flooded room.<br/><br/>Greg was barely visible in the blackness, as he stood on the platform, meanwhile Jacob, who's head was barely above the surface of the water while seated in the chair was almost invisible and Shanna ended up walking Tori's dolly right into the chair before stopping. "Hurry up baby....I need to get out of this th-water....Hurry! Shanna called out, too distracted to notice how close she'd parked Tori to Jacob.<br/><br/>Jacob was freezing cold, and probably starting to go into shock after all the trauma he'd been through, but when he felt the steel frame of Tori's dolly cart ram into him, he didn't waste time. Jacob wriggled his bound hand under the depth of water, and managed to grab one of the lines of duct tape binding Tori to the cart. With no leverage and the weakened state of his shock dazed body, he could do very little, but adrenaline was made just for these sorts of instances, and with a few hard jerks he felt the tape around her hips start to  loosen; he could only pray that it was this particular strand of tape that was also binding her hands. Unfortunatly  the jerking motion was enough to splash the water, and drew his captors atttention.<br/><br/>"Shanna...You stupid cunt...get her away from him!" Greg screamed  and Shanna jerked the cart backward, but Jacobs hand held firm and the tape started to give way around Tori's midsection. It was then though, that another secret door slid open and flooded the dark flooded basement with the orange light of torches.<br/><br/>Everyone looked up onto the platform to see Greg standing triumphantly, hands on his hips in front of the entry was to this new lit room. "Welcome to the Bone closet kiddies....We are gonna have a lot of fun in here.....hahahahhaah" He laughed and again, his voice slipped into the evil voice of Megot Vazhoul.<br/><br/>Greg reached down, and with obviously increasing strength, he hoisted Jacob up out of the water with his free hand. In a single motion he tossed Jacob's chair bound body into the torch lit room, the chair skidding across the hard stone floor and smacking into the opposing wall hard, again poor Jacob's head took another hard hit as the stone wall smacked his temple and made him see spots.<br/><br/>Greg didn't bother asking Shanna to bring Tori in, instead he reached down and plucked her and the 60 pound dolly out of the water, again only using  his one free hand. Shanna came clamoring up crying and sniveling as they pushed Tori into the bone closet.<br/><br/>This room wasn't anywhere near the size the basement's main chamber was, but it was still a large room. Stone walls, ceiling and floor, with a noted drain at it's center. Torches, prelit, by someone or something, lined the wall and warmed the cold chamber. The orange light revealed several macabre looking contraptions that were set up around the room, they were obviously torture implements, used by the houses former owner for whatever nefarious acts he'd committed on others.  In the center of the room was a large stone alter, skulls and other bones scattered the floor around it, remnants of the last victim who'd lost their life on it. In front of the alter was a circle carved in the floor, surround it was a series of ancient runes, inscribed in what looked like the telltale brown hue of dried blood.<br/><br/>Greg wheeled Tori over to near the alter, letting her get a good look at the stone slab. He waved his hand over it like a gameshow girl does with fancy prizes. "This my dear, is where the magic happens!" His overly wide smile opened, as his cheeks began to separate and a large long tentacle-like tongue shot out and licked Tori's face. Greg grabbed Tori by the waist of her wet pants and forced his hand down to Tori's pussy. She let another muffled scream escape through the duct tape as his pudgy finger's prodded her vagina.<br/><br/>"FUCK....She's so fucking scared, her pussy is clamped tight and dry as a fucking bone....." Greg's now alien looking face contorted  in anger and he slammed his hammer down on the stone alter out of frustration. "How am I supposed to use this, if I can't get it in her?" Greg said and pulled his dick out of his pants, but it was no longer a human looking penis, now it was as alien looking as his face; and if Tori disliked Greg's dick last night, she was now totally repulsed by what she saw.  Her eyes grew large as the giant thorny looking thing seemed to almost have a mouth at it's tip, snapping and striking at Tori, like a snake.<br/><br/>"Shanna....GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE....NOW BITCH!" The thing that used to be Greg snarled, and Shanna came running up to the alter.  "What's up baby...you wanna Thuck?" Shanna asked, completely oblivious that her husband had turned into some kind of monster.<br/><br/>"Not you.....hahaha....Listen to me dummy....I am going to go back up stairs and get a camera....I want you to eat this bitch's cunt out and get in nice and warmed up for me....Do you understand?" Greg commanded and with that he grabbed Tori's jean's waistband and ripped it right off, the front of Tori's jeans  shredded and exposed her crotch. With that Greg started off toward the door again, but suddenly stopped as if he'd forgotten something.<br/><br/>"oooh yeah....That's right...I almost forgot!" Greg said as he walked back over to Tori, but not her face. He walked up behind her and then Tori felt him grab her hand. She tried to struggle, tried to clamp her hand into a fist as she felt him go for her cherished remaining skull ring, but Greg's unnatural strength broke her finger. The sound of the cracking bone echoed in the chamber. Tori let out another muffled scream as she felt Greg rip the ring off of her crippled finger. "Won't be needed this...will you....hahahahahah" Greg said and then chucked the ring. Tori's head was turned and she could see it glinting in the torchlight as it sailed through the air and disappeared in to the blackness of the basement. A single splash could be heard, before Greg burst into maniacal  laughter again.  He strode out of the room, splashing back into the water himself as he made his way back across the makeshift pool.<br/><br/>"Thorry Thori...." Shanna said, staring her dead eyes into Tori's horrified expression, and then Shanna dropped down to waist level and set to work, fulfilling the chore Greg had given her.<br/><br/><br/><br/>****************<br/><br/><br/><br/>Out in the woods, as the sun started to set, Fish was struck with abject terror, not only did he not know how he'd got there, but to add to things, he was being confronted by what appeared to be an eyeless corpse. His body reacted as the creature spoke and he immediately started crawling backwards until his body slammed into the trunk of one of the huge pine trees that surrounded them.<br/><br/>"Who?.....I mean....What?....What the fuck?" Fish stuttered, his hands digging in to the pine needle forest bed below him.<br/><br/>The creature turned it's eyeless gaze back toward Fish as if it still had eyes to look at him with. Fish could see a grub worm writhing in it's left eye socket. "My name is.....WAS, Jacen....Jacen Crenshaw, I think...I guess that doesn't much matter now that I am.....this..."  It trailed off dropping it's sightless gaze to the forest floor in reflection of it's current state.<br/><br/>"Aaahhh ahhhhh.....nice....nice to meet you....Jacen...are you going to kill me?" Fish stammered, trying to right himself, but his body was too stupefied to heed his brain's call to action.<br/><br/>"No Albert, I am not....But there are plenty of things in that house that would love nothing more than to feast upon your innards, and all though I can see-....sense that you are frightened, I am going to need you to go back in there and help save your friends....Do you think you can do that Mr. Fish?" Jacen said, still averting his creepy gaze from Fish.<br/><br/>Just hearing the mention of his friends brought a whole other sense of fear into Fish, his brain raced through his last memories, Fighting with Greg, seeing sweet Brandi hurt and laying helplessly on the couch. "Omigod! are they ok? Where is everybody....Where is Brandi?" Fish mumbled, as he stared off in the distance back toward the house. His fear of Jacen lessening after the creature said it wasn't going to kill him, now he just wanted answers.<br/><br/>"I am sorry Albert....Brandice is like me now, she has been set loose from her mortal coil....Don't worry though, at least she rests in peace....if it's any consolation, at least Vazhoul can no longer touch her." Jacen trailed off, giving Fish time to process the unfortunate news.<br/><br/>"oooh god....oooh no, not her...Not Brandi...we were finally starting to open up to each other....Oooh god no!" Fish cried, tears streamed down his cheeks.<br/><br/>"Now is not the time for tears, I need you to get angry, angry and resolved, Albert....you have other freinds inside that still need our help....Can you do that for me....Can you do it for them?" Jacen asked and then started to walk toward Fish's distraught form. Jacen reached his corpse hand down and help Fish to he reluctant feet. "Fish...I can't do this alone, I need your help."<br/><br/>"does....Does it mean I get to send what ever evil fucking thing that killed my Brandi, back to the pits of hell from which it came?" Fish said, wiping the tears from his eyes.<br/><br/>"Reach into your pocket and show me what you have?" Jacen didn't answer Fish's question, but Fish did as instructed, and in his pocket he found something that was foriegn to his touch. He pulled it out and opened his palm, revealing the other Skull ring that Tori wore when he met her.<br/><br/>"How'd I get this?" He said, wiping the snot from his nose, but as he looked up at the Zombie that was helping him he saw Jacen backing away from it, holding his hand up to cover  his eyeless eye sockets.<br/><br/>"oK Albert....put it back in your pocket for now....We will need it later, but for now it's too much for my weakened form to bear." Jacen said, wincing in pain. Fish hesitated, wondering to himself if this undead guy was on his side, then why was he so adversely effected by the ring, it only lasted a second and then he slipped it back into his pocket.<br/><br/>"Alright....OK....It's back in my pocket....but  I want you to know, if this is some sort of trick in order to reel me in, I am gonna take this ring and shove it now your undead throat....are we clear?" Fish said, finally starting to steele himself again.<br/><br/>"Yes Albert....I understand....now let's get going, we have a lot to accomplish before the witching hour. " Jacen said and they started off toward the old barn at the rear of the property, near the cemetery.
