dead. Out of batteries? That couldn’t be it because my phone was full of batteries when Jay called me. Beyond weird. Weird, I was still having trouble getting use to; beyond weird? Not so much.
I glanced over to the gold again and heard something skitter somewhere. Rats and mice I weren’t afraid of, but with all the weird things going on, I had to be careful. Who knew what could be there. Shuddering, I hastily retreated down the stairs. Creepy, very creepy. To take my mind off the gold I went searching for the light switch.

~Jay~
I couldn’t wait for this afternoon, so I had went for a walk through the woods. The woods had always managed to find me drawn to it. Don’t know why and really I didn’t care. Some nights, when I should be sleeping, I would be out in the woods for no reason. So, I was out in the woods when Liz called.
She needed my help. The woods wasn’t far from Darkness, but it’d still take a few minutes. Could Liz even last that long? I mean how long would it take for the lady with the gun find her? Liz had a temper and could easily defend herself, but the lady had a loaded gun!
Running, I took off for a house with all the lights on. That was bad for the environment though. Wait- if Liz was in hiding…then that would mean she couldn’t turn on the light. It was so like Liz to go and try and turn on the lights with her life on the line. She could be so empty headed! She would try and take on the lady.
With that thought, I pumped my legs faster and harder, trying to make each step count in saving someone’s life. My legs protested and screamed in agony of me making them go faster than ever before, but I kept at it. Liz could be dying now and it would be my fault. My fault completely! Liz, I’m coming for you, please hang in there.
Before I even expected to arrive, I saw a house that looked similar to Liz’s and the attic light was on. I heard a crash and a thump inside and all the muscles in my body jumped and I tried the door. Locked. Frantically, I ran towards the back, hoping for another door. There weren’t any but by this time everything was quiet. No! A window. I would break through the window. Nobody lived here so it would be okay.
I searched for a window low enough for me to climb through, but there weren’t any. Crap! Running back to the front of the house again and tried the door. It opened so easily, I thought it was a joke. I saw Liz go back up the stairs, mesmerized.
“Liz?” I called softly. She didn’t seem to acknowledge my existence. I tried again and she still didn’t answer. What was happening? I decided to follow her up to the attic.
