Having lived at the home for 18 years since David was a baby , Rachel was now alone. David gone to University. The home now seemed cold, she shed a tear . She inherited the house from a lady who was a nurse at a psychiatric hospital. her husband died many years before, but was told she was lucky not to have met him.

Now it was time to renovate, she pulled the bricks away from an old fireplace in Davids bedroom, an open art deco-style fireplace soon showed.  " Lovely " she thought. But what was behind? . A plastic bag fell to the floor , on inspection she found what looked like a child's sock, " what the!!", . She removed the sock curious, why would this be here. Then something fell to the floor, " Oh my god " she stumbled back and hit her back on the bed. A child's , no a babies foot fell , skeletal but still quite preserved.

The police came , they took the item and examined further into the chimney breast. " we will send forensics in, then we will have to close the room for now , are you staying ? "

Of course, she had no where else to go. She phoned David and told him what had happened. " I dont understand ,the owners before had no children".

Evening came and she felt uneasy, she sat watching television but was soon dozing. The sight of the sock and bones just wouldn't go away. Then an almighty bang  shocked her awake . She quickly went to the kitchen, nothing, but outside she noticed the garage door swinging . She went outside to close then heard the voices, the screams of children, turning to run back , she fell , " Please !! she called whats going on, who are you?"

Standing she turned towards the garage, in the doorway a tall dark figure stood, a man, his arms out stretched like a cross his breath she could smell from where she stood.

" Come with me " ...  He stretched his arms out like long tentacles and grabbed her wrists. He pulled her across the garden , she screamed and closed her eyes, " Leave me alone!!!!", but he was too strong. Her legs were heavy , her heart was in her throat, " Please let me go!!!" she tried to scream but couldn't the effort was just too much and he was too strong, the grip on her wrist was so tight she felt her bones now cracking, she turned to face the evil , his breath now a hot blast of air that tightened her skin and she felt it spitting under the heat , "Why me??" she thought , but she knew now it was too late,

" I am the taker of life and you will come to the children, you are needed to feed them and look after them, your son has gone and we have waited for many years.. join us now in the hell we live in".

She was giving in , his face , oh my God the evil she saw, the pain she just couldn't bare , no she couldn't stop him, it was too late. Let it go, she heard a voice say , let it go you will be fine....so she did.

Then she woke. Paralyzed with fear she looked around the room, it was a dream, she was shaking from head to toe, it was a dream.... then she heard it.

What was that loud banging outside it sounded so much like the garage door??????????
