Let's Talk About... Terrifying Tales Vol.3 Ep.20

[00:00:00] You, you're back again. You're becoming a real regular here at

[00:00:08] telephying tales. I bet you're here to find out what creature Amy is fighting this time.

[00:00:16] Master, those tales are my favorite. Not now Igor! Personally, my favorites are about Jacob

[00:00:23] and that weird cabin. Even I don't know what's going to happen with that thing.

[00:00:28] I have the book ready, Master. Nice to know you can be useful. Sometime.

[00:00:35] This, just in, new investigation on the way as a spate of grave weapons happen overnight.

[00:00:44] All you hear on that wretched noise box is bad news. Right, let's get into this story,

[00:00:52] shall we? I couldn't believe what my memory's brought forth. After I had the flashback, I

[00:00:57] questioned everything I thought I knew. The reality I knew was the real lie, but there

[00:01:02] the wolf was, disappearing into the darkness. As we sat in the car with a doors locked,

[00:01:08] we couldn't help but worry about what might have happened or was going to happen

[00:01:11] tomorrow and in the dark.

[00:01:13] Neither of our phones had any signal. The car was stuck in the mud and there was something

[00:01:17] out in the woods that we could not explain. On top of all that, Ella's wound to her leg

[00:01:22] was still bleeding profusely and she began to fade in and out of consciousness. I knew

[00:01:28] there was a chance that Ella was not going to make it if she could not be seen too. I

[00:01:32] told her I had no choice but to try and go and find some help, but she retaliated

[00:01:37] and reminded me that I promised I would not leave her and she begged me to stay. I was

[00:01:41] stuck. I did not want to go against her wish but I couldn't sit there and do nothing.

[00:01:47] I didn't know what to do. I decided I wasn't going to leave Elbut had to do something,

[00:01:53] so I unlocked the door of the car only hoping that the creature had put enough distance

[00:01:57] between us and it would not hear me. I began shouting for Morgan and Zach again. Now

[00:02:02] that the thunderstorm had moved on, they might hear me this time. As I called their name

[00:02:07] for the tenth time, I gave up. As I turned around to go back into the car and try and

[00:02:12] help Ella myself, I heard a faint female moan in the sound of twig snapping come from

[00:02:17] the tree line around a hundred yards in front of me. I raced over to the tree line and

[00:02:23] to my surprise it was Morgan, she was alive. She limped towards me so I ran over to help

[00:02:29] her. I immediately noticed she was covered in mud and what looked to be blood. I helped

[00:02:33] her to the car and sat her down in the back seat. I could tell she was barely alive.

[00:02:39] Ella sprung to life running on only adrenaline in order to help. I got some towels from

[00:02:44] the boot of the car and began to clean her up and try and figure out what had happened

[00:02:48] as she could not even sum up the strength to speak. As we cleaned off the mud and blood,

[00:02:53] we could see the horrific extent of the injuries. She had a deep bite wound to her neck, deep

[00:02:58] claw indentations all over her body. This had to be the work of the creature we had seen.

[00:03:04] Ella was in a severe state of panic. I asked her to calm down and try to keep Morgan's

[00:03:09] wounds from bleeding out. As I opened the door and exited the car, Ella asked me where

[00:03:14] I was going and not to leave her again. I told her I was going to get us out of here.

[00:03:19] So I ran inside of the cabin and broke off some of the remaining floorboards from the

[00:03:23] collapsed floor. I knew if I could lodge them under the wheels of the car I might be able

[00:03:27] to drive the car out of the mud. As I was doing so, I heard it again. I heard the beast

[00:03:34] roar from outside. I grabbed the floorboard that had been snapped and had a sharp point

[00:03:39] almost like a wooden steak. I ran outside where I came face to face with the beast. It

[00:03:45] was just stood there, staring at me, snarling. It then charged towards me. I pointed the

[00:03:52] steak at the beast but it smacked the steak straight out of my hand and lodged me 20 meters

[00:03:56] from where I was stood. I hit my head off the trunk of a tree. My vision was blurred

[00:04:01] but I could just about see the creature come into wards me. It grabbed me by my throat

[00:04:06] and lifted me off my feet. As it opened its jaws, I closed my eyes and screamed run to

[00:04:12] Ella. But then to my surprise, it dropped me and turned around. It was Ella, someone

[00:04:18] up every ounce of strength she had left. She threw a rock at the beast. There was a moment

[00:04:23] of silence as it just gazed at her. It let out once again a terrifying roar. I screamed

[00:04:30] it, Ella telling her to run again and she did but the beast was too fast. I knew it would

[00:04:34] catch her especially with the injury that had occurred to her leg. As the beast caught

[00:04:40] up to her, she lost balance due to the injury and fell. As the beast went for the kill,

[00:04:45] there were two gunshots. The creature screamed in pain and took off into the darkness. I made

[00:04:52] my way over to where Ella had tripped and there was someone stood there in the distance

[00:04:56] holding a rifle. As the figure approached, we could see it was a woman wearing all black

[00:05:02] with dark hair. She raced over to help. She said, my name is Lucia, the thing that just

[00:05:09] attacked you is known as in Latin origins as a Lupos Sangrides Immortalis which translate

[00:05:15] to Immortal Bloodwolf. It is a vampire werewolf hybrid. As Ella and I were in shock, the creature

[00:05:21] now revealed to be known as the Immortal Bloodwolf was lurking in the darkness, disappeared

[00:05:26] into the night. We were left bewildered and shaken by the encounter, struggling to comprehend

[00:05:32] everything that had just transpired. Just then, another figure emerged from the shadows,

[00:05:38] holding a sword in hand. It was a tall, strong, fair-haired man. Lucia told us that this

[00:05:44] was her partner, Jason, a seasoned hunter of vampire werewolf hybrids like the one we had

[00:05:49] just encountered. He explained that he and his partner Lucia had been tracking the creature

[00:05:54] for some time, determined to rid the world of its menace, and that there are many others

[00:05:59] just like it out there. As we encountered our harrowing experience

[00:06:03] to Jason and Lucia, we learned that our friend Zack, who had gone missing earlier, had also

[00:06:09] fallen victim to the creature's vicious attacks. However, against all odds, Zack also miraculously

[00:06:16] reappeared, battered and bruised but alive. He recounted his own terrifying ordeal of

[00:06:22] being pursued by the creature through the dark woods. With Morgan's injuries worsened

[00:06:27] in by the minute, Jason and Lucia sprang into action, using their expertise to administer

[00:06:32] first aid and stabilise her condition. Together we managed to get Morgan into the cabin

[00:06:38] where she could rest and recover, but our respite was shot-lived as the Bloodwolf, its

[00:06:44] identity now revealed, continued to lurk in the shadows. Its first for blood unquenchable,

[00:06:51] with the night still young and the danger lumino ever closer. We knew that our fight for

[00:06:56] survival was far from over. As we tried to contemplate our situation

[00:07:01] and manifest a plan for us to leave while Jason and Lucia deal with the Bloodwolf, we

[00:07:06] heard it again, that definitely might be wrong in the distance. The Bloodwolf had returned

[00:07:11] for us. As the night descended into chaos, Lucia tried to help us clear the area, but

[00:07:18] in that moment she noticed Jason face-to-face with the beast. Wheeled in an ancient sword

[00:07:23] designed to weaken the wolf, a mighty scene of metal, teeth and claws ensued. With each

[00:07:29] strike the sword emitted a faint glow, its ancient power pulsating with each clash against

[00:07:35] the creature's monstrous form. The ancient sword wielded by Jason in the battle against

[00:07:40] the creature was a relic of unparalleled age. Its origins shrouded in the midst of time.

[00:07:46] Forged over thousands of years ago, it was said to have been wielded by an ancient

[00:07:50] hero of myth and legend, a renowned hunter who had dedicated their life to combat in

[00:07:55] the same creatures that had now threatened our group. The hero, whose name had long been

[00:08:00] forgotten by all the oldest of tales, was said to have been gifted the sword by celestial

[00:08:05] beings themselves. Crafted from a rare and mystical metal found only in the most ancient

[00:08:10] of realms, the sword was imbued with the essence of the stars and blessed with powerful

[00:08:15] enchantments to aid in the hero's quest. Through the ages the sword had passed down

[00:08:20] from generation to the next. Intrusted only to the bravest and most worthy of warriors,

[00:08:27] each wielder had left their mark upon the sword, imbuing it with their own magic and adding

[00:08:31] to its already formidable power. As Jason grasped the ancient sword in battle, he could

[00:08:36] feel the weight of its legacy pressing down upon him, a tangible connection to the countless

[00:08:41] heroes who had come before him. With each swing he drew upon the sword's ancient power

[00:08:46] channeling the courage and determination of those who had wielded it in its ages past.

[00:08:52] In the midst of the intense battle amidst the chaos and danger I found myself drawn to

[00:08:56] Ellis's side. With a trembling voice I decided this is the time as I might never get

[00:09:02] the chance again to confess my love for her. My heart-lead bear emits the turmoil surrounding

[00:09:08] us, to my relief and joy, Ella's eyes softened, her own feelings mirror in mine as we shared

[00:09:14] a tender moment amidst the chaos of battle. With our bond strengthened by the trials we

[00:09:19] had faced together, Ella and I shared a tender kiss, a brief respite from the horrors

[00:09:24] of the night. There was a moment where Jason had an opening to finally put the wolf down,

[00:09:30] in fact there were a few occasions the wolf could have met its end, but for reasons I

[00:09:35] could not fathom he hesitated. He missed his chance and the wolf wrapped its claws around

[00:09:41] his neck, preparing to sink its teeth into the flesh of its fore. In a split second decision

[00:09:47] Lucia intervened, leaving us behind her swift action saving Jason from certain death as she

[00:09:54] bravely wrestled with the beast. Her courage brought precious time for our group to pull together

[00:09:59] and grab any sharpened object at hand, including Lucia's gun and send the beast fleeing back

[00:10:04] into the darkness, before it could bring about any further harm. We knew we all had to get

[00:10:10] together in regroup and formulate some form of plan, but the weight of the truth weighed

[00:10:14] heavily on Jason and Lucia's shoulders. Gathering us all together, Jason and Lucia revealed

[00:10:20] the horrifying truth. Tony, the man we once known as a loving father was the very creature

[00:10:27] we had been hunting. They explained that Tony's curse only allowed him to assume his human

[00:10:33] form during the full moon, leaving him trapped in a cycle of monstrous transformation.

[00:10:39] As a gravity of their words sunk in, Eleorantized struggled to comprehend the enormity of the

[00:10:44] revelation. Zach and Morgan devastated by the truth about their father, grappled with

[00:10:49] their conflicting emotions torn between love and horror. In the midst of our shock

[00:10:54] and confusion, Jason explained why he hesitated to kill the creature. He could not bring

[00:10:59] himself to harm Tony, knowing the man he once was beneath the monstrous exterior. It

[00:11:05] was a heartbreaking revelation, but it shed light on Jason's actions and the inner turmoil

[00:11:09] he had been grappling with. Morgan's condition began to improve thanks to Zach's

[00:11:15] unwavering support and care as she rested. Zach grappled with the revelation that his

[00:11:20] father was the very creature that had been hunting.

[00:11:23] Us. Determined to confront the truth head on,

[00:11:27] Zach ventured out alone without any of the others noticing he had wandered off, only armed

[00:11:32] with a mixed-shift spear like a weapon I confronted the beast with earlier. When he finally

[00:11:38] encountered the blood wolf, or better known as his father, a chilling recognition passed

[00:11:43] between them as father and son locked eyes for the first time since Tony's transformation.

[00:11:49] But before Zach could react, the beast turned its attention to the rest of the group, leaving

[00:11:55] Zach stunned and heartbroken. This shed upon light as to why Morgan and Zach were able

[00:12:00] to survive both of their encounters. There was still a piece of Tony in there somewhere.

[00:12:06] As Jason and Lucie revealed their history with Tony and his secret affliction, the whole

[00:12:11] group began to panic after realizing that Zach was nowhere in sight. As they screamed

[00:12:16] his name and the turmoil set in, a beeping noise could be heard. It was a device used by

[00:12:22] Jason and Lucie. It tracks heat signatures. Both Jason and Lucie's faces painted in shock

[00:12:29] and confusion. A second-large life form had appeared on the device. The first signature

[00:12:35] would be in the wolf. The second was something far faster and much larger looking on the

[00:12:42] device. With a sense of dread hanging in the air, Lucie's ominous words hung heavy.

[00:12:47] He's followed us, she whispered. I turned to Jason and Lucie, my voice trembling with fear.

[00:12:55] Who followed you? I asked. My heart pounding in my chest.

[00:13:00] Jason's response sent a chill down my spine. Something far older and far darker than your

[00:13:06] friend's father. As the time reached free air, the night leaving us facing an uncertain future

[00:13:12] in the shadow of the beast that was once Tony, and a looming threat of a far-great

[00:13:17] darkness on the horizon.

[00:13:24] Well, I'm back. Once again, you guessed it. To make others aware, but I no longer feel

[00:13:29] the need to maintain my sanity. After the stuff that has happened over the last 18 months,

[00:13:33] there is another that confers me now. If anyone happens to read these, I'll catch

[00:13:37] you up. So after auto and the events of Whitby, I spent a lot of time in a hotel room

[00:13:42] on my own, not in Whitby. As I tried to come to terms with what had happened, I just

[00:13:47] wish I had someone I could rant to or vent my feelings to about it all but at last I'm

[00:13:51] still alone. I think that's going to be the best way

[00:13:54] for me now. Auto approved that I can no longer trust anybody or anything for that matter.

[00:13:59] So as much as I loved Whitby as a place, I had to leave. Fast. I went back to the hotel,

[00:14:04] the jet black jewel packed my things and left straight away. I spent the night on a transportation

[00:14:08] platform and got as far away as I could with what money I had, which is how I ended up

[00:14:13] here in Manchester. I have been here now for about six months, working side jobs to keep

[00:14:17] me going. The odd shift behind a bar delivering food odds at earned my cape as I prepared

[00:14:22] for the next fight. I've been living in a house share with three

[00:14:25] other women, Eva, Maya and Olivia and one guy, Andy. They all seem very close and friendly

[00:14:30] with each other. I speak to them as little as possible. I can't get close to anyone because

[00:14:35] if the events of Rosemary Topham repeated themselves, I could never forgive myself.

[00:14:39] I would like to get closer to Olivia though, if you know what I mean. She had blonde hair,

[00:14:43] blue eyes, very short and nose-pacing and wore a pair of duck-mountain boots. I always knew

[00:14:48] deep down now I wasn't completely straight. Carla was used to say that she was waiting for

[00:14:52] the day to come out to him and Jess. I can only imagine what they'd both say now, if they

[00:14:56] were here. Carla would nod out glow and say that he was right all the time. In knowing

[00:15:00] Jess she would probably burst in her tears and tell me how proud she was with me.

[00:15:04] I sometimes think to myself that she might feel the same way as I've spoken to her more

[00:15:08] than anyone else and I have noticed her looking at me when she thinks I don't notice. One

[00:15:12] night I came home after working a shift in a bar and had myself a few room and coax after

[00:15:16] the shift. I very nearly knocked on her bedroom door but luckily for us both, I stopped myself.

[00:15:24] I don't need to worry about that anymore because we're both actually leaving soon.

[00:15:28] Which brings us to the next chapter of this story or at least I wish it was a story or

[00:15:32] maybe even a dream. So next up I have found out about the Covenant Witches, not too far

[00:15:37] from here in Lancashire. Now of course if you're reading this you must already know about

[00:15:41] the Pendle Hill Witches. If you hadn't there's a really good podcast called Let's Talk

[00:15:44] About. They did a whole episode dedicated to it. Go listen to that. Anyway back to these

[00:15:52] new witches so I was looking into this before Whitby. I had gone and went that a group of young

[00:15:55] women who were up my age early 20s had started a Covenant and were practicing witchcraft

[00:16:00] and the word on the Darker side of the web is that one is actually the descendant of

[00:16:05] Janet Device, the only member of the family not to be hanged back in 1612.

[00:16:10] Luckily during all of this I've gotten pretty good at using the Dark Web and managing

[00:16:13] to stay anonymous. I used the earliest Hunter Park 1920. If you're wondering those were

[00:16:18] Carl and Jesse's last names and ages. Yes, Carl's last name was quite fitting right?

[00:16:22] But I've gotten to know a fellow Hunter slash fighter, I don't even know what I should

[00:16:26] call myself. Anyway, the fellow whatever we are calling ourselves goes by Slayer 0567.

[00:16:34] It was him who tipped me off about the Covenant so I worked my last shift at the bar. I should

[00:16:38] probably tell you the name of the bar but it's so cringy. Dr. Inks, Jess I know you've

[00:16:42] found that hilarious. Last shift done about 2am. I headed back home and packed my bag. I

[00:16:47] left about 3.30am again. I nearly knocked on Olivia's door just to say goodbye, but I knew

[00:16:53] it wasn't a good idea. Plus what was strange when she wasn't there. I knew she wasn't

[00:16:57] there because that girl was basically nocturnal, you could always see the light coming from

[00:17:00] under her door and the sound of her TV. I walked the lit narrow street and headed for the taxi

[00:17:04] rank. I pre-booked the taxi a couple of weeks ago. Luckily but not surprisingly they didn't

[00:17:08] ask many questions about needing a taxi at half past 3am in the morning to get me to

[00:17:12] Pendle. I did minimal research on which is because after you find out the vampire is

[00:17:17] actually a little sunlight and keep your room tan. I don't know what to believe anymore.

[00:17:21] I don't know, I wasn't expecting an old woman with warts on their nose, his flying around

[00:17:24] on broomsticks with a black cat in tow. That was definitely just Hollywood's depiction

[00:17:28] of witches. I arrived in Pendle and sadly no old pub hotels this time. I was booked in

[00:17:34] booked in at a travelage. It was the cheapest in the area and I'm definitely going to budget

[00:17:37] these days. I got into my room and fired up my laptop. I sent a message to Slayer 0 567

[00:17:43] asking if they had any advice on where I should start. I went for like half an hour in

[00:17:48] a row response. I was getting too fidgety just sat wet in so I thought fuck it. I'm

[00:17:52] going to start the only way I know how to. Head out and ask the locals. He's never really

[00:17:57] gotten any results before apart from at Rosbury so I stopped off at a local pub and asked

[00:18:01] the usual questions. Surprisingly people came to talk about the original Pendle Hill

[00:18:05] witches. As soon as I mentioned the possibility of these modern day witches people just assumed

[00:18:09] I was crazy. Shock. I finished my drink, stood up and headed for the door and my phone

[00:18:14] pinged. I'd given my number to Slayer and it was a voice note. You need to start by finding

[00:18:20] the cabin. All the witches will have a best, the original witches had a mark in tower

[00:18:24] and from what I found so far this milk oven had a cabin located in the forest. You do

[00:18:28] not go looking for it when it's dark. So I went back to the hotel, put on my hiking

[00:18:33] boats and grabbed my backpack, got a few bottles of water and headed back out. I only had

[00:18:38] a coat left of my daylight. I ended the forest straight away I ended decision to make.

[00:18:43] I chose left. I dropped a pin on the maps up on my phone so I wouldn't get lost.

[00:18:48] This forest was amazing, I couldn't believe the amount of different birds I saw. There

[00:18:52] was moments I forgot why I was there. Then I had a very obvious thought. These witches

[00:18:56] aren't going to have their best strish yards of a regular footpath in plain sight. What an

[00:19:00] idea! I could see the sun was starting to set so I took Slayer's advice and headed

[00:19:04] back. Not long after turning around I could have sworn I heard someone laughing. Maybe

[00:19:08] it's just my night playing tricks on me. I arrived back at the hotel, I decided

[00:19:12] to get an early night, I wanted to get up as soon as the sun was up. I wanted as much

[00:19:16] time as possible to explore that forest. Before I went to sleep I sent another message

[00:19:20] to Slayer. Any advice on where the cabin might be located? Should have been the look

[00:19:25] out for any obvious signs, remember I'm still new with this. I locked my phone and turned

[00:19:29] off the lamp. My alarm played the next morning, 6am. As always I showered and headed out.

[00:19:35] I checked my phone and had another vox message from Slayer. It would have to be closed to

[00:19:40] a water source where I can guarantee there will be no wildlife close by. Fanned a river

[00:19:44] or a stream and follow it, that's where I would start.

[00:19:47] I arrived back at the entrance to the forest or at least I followed this. I'm sure this

[00:19:53] was the way I entered the forest yesterday but today there was no left or right path, it

[00:19:56] was just a straight path right up the middle. I still impondered and remembered I had the

[00:20:00] pin on my maps and my phone. According to the app I was in the exact same place I was

[00:20:04] yesterday. Already the adrenaline was pumping. I'd go back some water and said to myself

[00:20:08] you thought of a werewolf and a 200 year old vampire and left the teller tail, you can

[00:20:12] handle a few witches. I headed up the footpath and hacked for about 15-20 minutes and then

[00:20:17] I decided it was time to go off track. I treacherily overgrown for another 30 minutes, going

[00:20:23] in every direction I called when I heard it. No, not a laugh. I heard water. I stopped myself

[00:20:28] from getting too excited and worked out which direction it was coming from and I picked

[00:20:32] up the pace heading towards it. I arrived at a small shallow stream. Now I did have

[00:20:38] a decision to make again, left or right. I decided to mark another pin on my map. Just

[00:20:42] in case I could somehow get back here if I needed to. I didn't hold much hope after

[00:20:46] the whole footpath through the forest seems to be different than yesterday. I went

[00:20:50] right there were still lots of birds and squirrels and other wildlife all over so my hopes

[00:20:54] started to sink. I followed the stream for almost an hour and nothing. I decided to sit

[00:20:59] down on a rock next to the wall and have a drink and eat the sandwich I bought on my

[00:21:02] way here. I sat there looking at my phone eating my sandwich in a bit of a daydream when

[00:21:07] it suddenly realized what I could hear, nothing. No rustling, no bird singing. I still had

[00:21:11] looked up at the trees not single bird inside. I figured I must be close surely. I can't

[00:21:17] myself and sense layer of message. I probably should have asked this sooner but when I found

[00:21:22] the cabin and the advice, I finished my sandwich on my phone pinned. It was a text that

[00:21:27] read. It's a hard choice because if the witch is packed with the devil has been completed

[00:21:31] then you're safe unlike vampires which is actually do here so night. If the pack is not

[00:21:36] complete I hope you can run and fast. Well that was helpful. I set off hiking again

[00:21:40] I got about another 15-20 minutes down the way and when I noticed the bridge it was

[00:21:45] all done clearly hadn't been crossed for years as I passed under it a dark hollow and

[00:21:48] only feeling came across me. I was definitely close. I could hear a fire crackling in the

[00:21:53] distance. I tried to be as quite as possible but that was far from easy. The stream took

[00:21:58] a sharp bend and as I came around the corner I saw it, the witch's cabin. It was quite

[00:22:03] literally like something out of a movie or a fairy tale. A fire outside with a cold drink

[00:22:07] hanging above overgrown plants all over the cabin. I took some pictures. I decided to

[00:22:11] try and get as close to as possible trying peaking to one of the windows. I slowly made

[00:22:16] my way towards the cabin. I was below one of the closed windows, the window swung up

[00:22:21] and luckily I was still crouching beneath it. My heart jumped into my throat when I heard

[00:22:25] a voice. There's one more offering in three days time to the master and our pack will

[00:22:29] be complete and we'll have eternal power. I crawled away from the window on the cabin.

[00:22:33] I had to message Slayer he would know what to do. I got fire enough away from the cabin

[00:22:38] so I felt somewhat safe. I pulled out my phone and message Slayer saying I need help.

[00:22:42] I found the cabin. I heard them say they need one more offering for their pack to be

[00:22:47] complete. As I waited for a response, I remembered back to my minimal research on witches and

[00:22:52] what the pack would the devil entail. I read an article saying for a witch to receive

[00:22:56] full and eternal power from the devil at himself. They must all sacrifice one finger, take

[00:23:00] one innocent life, boil together for three days over a fire. That's when it hit me. There

[00:23:06] was a person in that cauldron. I knew I had at least three days to stop them for good so

[00:23:10] I called it a day and headed back to the hotel, still waiting for Slayer to respond. I went

[00:23:15] to a local pub for a room and cork or two. I sat there staring at my phone waiting for

[00:23:20] response then it pinged, bangly, Slayer said, you need to know which is the leader. If

[00:23:24] you can stop there you stop them all. The leader will have made the first sacrifice and

[00:23:28] taken the first life. You're going to have to get close enough to see their hands.

[00:23:31] Well that should be easy enough I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes. I quickly tapped

[00:23:37] another message. Your information has helped me a lot. Well why don't you just come and

[00:23:41] actually help me? Then we can go out with separate ways when the job is done. As always

[00:23:45] I waited and waited for response. After several room and corks I swayed my way back to the

[00:23:49] travel lodge and fell in a bed. I woke up the next morning, head pounding, still in my

[00:23:53] clothes. I looked at my phone, nothing. I took some pain colors and drank an entire bottle

[00:23:58] of water to clear my head. Then I shouted, I checked my phone again. I will help you

[00:24:04] and I'm already in the area but once this is done we'll go out with separate ways.

[00:24:08] I replied and said yes, yes that's fine. That was my only requirement in the first place.

[00:24:13] We agreed to meet at the entrance of the forest at 9am. Slayer said they had to collect

[00:24:17] some things that we needed. I got there early in satin defence waiting. I looked at my

[00:24:21] watch, 8.55 and still no sign. I started to pay a sin again and looked at my watch, 9.27.

[00:24:27] I could feel myself getting angry. If this person was never going to help then why wouldn't

[00:24:33] they just say? I peaced faster and looked down the path. I saw someone making their way

[00:24:37] up. They were wearing a long black coat with the hood up. He was a lot sharper than

[00:24:41] I was expecting and I kind of judged in my head what use is he going to be.

[00:24:47] They reached me at the top of the path ingested with their hands to follow him. He had a

[00:24:51] snooze like mask covering his face but I got a swan I saw a piece of blunt hair sticking

[00:24:54] out from the side. I followed and noticed the boots, Doc- Doc- Doc- Martin's, I stopped.

[00:24:59] Olivia, I said. They stopped dead slowly and turned around, pulled back the hood and removed

[00:25:05] the mask. I could not believe my eyes. All kinds of thoughts ran through my head. I didn't

[00:25:09] know what to say. She finally spoke. A bit of advice when living with people you don't

[00:25:13] know lock your room and get a better password on your laptop. I laughed even though part

[00:25:18] of me was angry now I know that she had been through my room and my laptop which meant

[00:25:22] she knew everything. She turned around and carried on walking. I chased behind her telling

[00:25:26] her to wait. If Slayer 0567 was her then she interrupted me and said it wasn't Slayer 0567

[00:25:33] it was Slayer 0567. Trivial but kind of makes sense now I suppose. But still I asked why

[00:25:38] why you didn't just tell me if you knew what I was doing she stopped and looked me right in the

[00:25:42] eyes. The same reason you don't actually tell anyone what you're doing is easier to live this life

[00:25:47] if you're doing it solo. I'm sorry about Colin Jess by the way. My heart was pounding more than it

[00:25:53] was when I was at the cabin. I asked what else she knew knowing that she will know what I'm talking

[00:25:57] about. She just said I'm not the only one who looks at people when they think they don't know

[00:26:02] us. I almost smiled. I asked how she managed to act normal with people like back in Manchester. Her

[00:26:10] Maya and everyone were like best friends. I thought they were. She just said it's heartless but you

[00:26:14] need to be sometimes. When the time comes you just up and leave no goodbyes. It's shit people get hurt

[00:26:20] but at least you're not as lonely again it made sense. I followed her through the forest it was

[00:26:25] like she knew where to go already. Turns out she did she had hacked into my phone and had been

[00:26:29] checking my maps. We arrived back at the cabin we stayed Lord just after the bend in the stream

[00:26:35] fire still burning away underneath the cauldron. I still couldn't get my head around the

[00:26:38] factor there was a person in there. I asked how we are going to get close enough to find out which one

[00:26:43] is the leader. Olivia Paul the pair of binoculars out with her bag. I was disappointed to be honest even

[00:26:49] I knew there was nowhere she was going to see their hands well enough to see which one is the

[00:26:54] leader. I said I have an idea it's childish and stupid but it's just so childish and stupid it

[00:26:58] might work. I told her to go on the other side of the cabin and we were both for our storm at the

[00:27:03] windows and either side we can split them up. We both threw the storms of all the forest we could

[00:27:07] muster both windows smashing at the same time. We heard screams from inside. One came flying out

[00:27:13] of the window on the left side she hid behind a tree. I could see the wind searching as another one

[00:27:18] came out of the front door looking in every direction she went over to check on the cauldron

[00:27:22] the final which followed out the front door. The two of them were talking I couldn't hear what they

[00:27:26] were saying. I heard live shouting in the witch screaming I found one. The other two left the

[00:27:33] cauldron and flow through the air. I panicked at first but I remembered what Ubuff said we get the

[00:27:37] job done. I ran as fast as I could into the cabin. I knew there had to be something in here we

[00:27:43] could use against them. I found an old brown leather book. I died out at the front door and headed

[00:27:49] for the bridge. I hid another bridge waiting for a sign of Olivia. A hand grabbing from behind

[00:27:54] I lay out a screen but she caught my mouth and told me to be quiet. We then heard a good

[00:28:00] wrenching scream they have the book. We took off running as fast as we possibly could. I kept

[00:28:06] trying to look behind but lived just dragged me forward and said don't look back just keep running.

[00:28:11] We got back to the hotel we went to my room, got a breath back and started to look through the book.

[00:28:17] It reminded me a lot of the book from the movie Hocus Pogress, managed the eyeball on the front

[00:28:21] of the car. We were running out of hope it was just spells portions and recipes for the parked.

[00:28:27] That was a tough raid it made my stomach turn. Olivia said she needed to use my laptop.

[00:28:32] She knew other people like us and one in particular was an expert on witches and how to defeat them.

[00:28:37] She messaged back and forth and eventually turned to me and said right I know what we have to do.

[00:28:41] Olivia explained that the book had been given to the witches by the devil himself

[00:28:45] and if they destroyed the book then we can destroy the witches.

[00:28:49] We spent the entire next day trying to rip, burn, shred anything you can do to destroy a book

[00:28:53] but we should have known it wasn't going to be that easy. Olivia's form pinned she stood

[00:28:57] staring at the screen I could see it wasn't good news. Okay I know how to destroy it but this is

[00:29:03] not going to be easy. I just sighed when has any of this been easy? Go on and hit me with it I said

[00:29:10] we need another sacrifice from each witch and then the book has to go into the cauldron.

[00:29:15] I passed back and forth and repeated so all we have to do is casually cut our free witches

[00:29:20] fingers and chuck them in a cauldron followed by their sacred book given gifted to them by the devil.

[00:29:24] Okay any bright ideas she said I have an idea how bright it is also found out.

[00:29:31] We need to go to my place. We went back to the hotel packed up my things and checked out

[00:29:35] and headed to where Liff had been staying. She had a trunk full of weapons, sards, mallets, steaks even

[00:29:41] across more. I asked what the plan was. How are you using a sarcheast without even looking at me?

[00:29:51] I mean I'd give it a go I've shot a whale wolf and stabbed a vampire to death.

[00:29:55] We went over the details of what we had to do. Liv was going to lure them out with the cabin and

[00:29:59] using the cross-bought nail into the walls like a scene from Van Helsing.

[00:30:06] Then I can come in sards swinging and sat taking fingers hands or even a full arm whatever it takes.

[00:30:11] We went to sleep after packing our bags we woke up and headed straight for the forest.

[00:30:15] We knew exactly where to go. We sat on the bridge for a minute looked each other.

[00:30:19] Are you ready? Ready as I'll ever be.

[00:30:22] Liv went to leave but I knew this was another now or never moment. I pulled her back and kissed her.

[00:30:27] Don't die. She smirked and off she went.

[00:30:30] Studied in front of the colliderant and whistled using her fingers.

[00:30:34] Two witches came out with the cabin door. They looked weaker.

[00:30:36] Flown through the air, chased an elevator, screeching and cackling. One almost grabbed her but missed.

[00:30:41] Liv aimed and fired from the cross-bought. First time shot.

[00:30:47] One was left stuck against the tree screaming. This was my moment. I ran as fast as I could when I

[00:30:52] suddenly I was sent flying through the air, sard knocked out of my hands. I stood up desced

[00:30:58] and the second witch was in front of me. Who are you? She snouted. You don't want to know I

[00:31:03] shot with her as I took off running and grabbed the sard. She flew through the air and sent me flying

[00:31:07] against the tree. She laughed as Liv popped up from behind a huge rock and fired two more arrows

[00:31:12] into her shoulders nearly near to the cabin wall. I grabbed the sards and chopped off her hand.

[00:31:18] The scream was deafening. I ran and threw the hand into the colliderant and did the same with the

[00:31:22] first witch that was nailed to the tree. We stood in front of the colliderant, awaiting the final

[00:31:26] witch, obviously the leader. She emerged from the cabin. Grotesque and almost seven-foot tall.

[00:31:32] It reminded me of the movers from the movie Bad Area. I looked at Liv and asked.

[00:31:36] Any more ideas? For the first time she looked scared and glopped and replied, nope.

[00:31:43] The witch in a deep gravely voice said, I will not be stopped. I will avenge my ancestors

[00:31:49] and have internal power. She moved slowly towards us, we slowly move backwards.

[00:31:54] I said I have an idea but we only have one go at it. You go left and I'll go right.

[00:31:59] You'll just shoot the shit out of it and I'll throw the sard. It's a bigger target.

[00:32:04] Right, three, two, one, go. We ran. Luckily the witch went for Liv like I planned.

[00:32:10] I threw the sards and it spun through the air almost in slow motion and sliced through around.

[00:32:15] Again the screens were deafening. I ran over, grabbed the hand and threw into the cauldron.

[00:32:21] You could see the fear in the witch's eyes. I grabbed the book from the bag and threw into the pot

[00:32:26] with all my force. It bubbled and boiled over and all free which is melted away to nothing.

[00:32:31] Weird done it. I ran over to Olivia. The witch had knocked her onto a rock. I put my hand behind her

[00:32:37] head and there was so much blood. I just held her in cried.

[00:32:43] Master, what are we going to do? Igor! I haven't just told you we will take care of them later.

[00:32:50] Just make sure you... Ah! You're done. I hope those tails were terrifying enough.

[00:32:57] Right right you must go. We have we have to close early today. We hope to see you again soon.

[00:33:05] Hasta! I need your help.
