The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising dead: The story of the Photo
There was a tenderness in her seeing the photograph, for the last conversation Elizabeth had with her it was clear she was extremely close to her mother and the picture brought a lot of emotions back so it was expressed in her face.“This picture was taken so long ago when they were young. They were very good friends…they even were each other's bridesmaids at their weddings…” there was a pause to stop her feelings from pouring out.“They had their little inside jokes, they would knit together and were godmothers to each other's daughters. They were as close as only friends can be” Suddenly it felt like Claudia Martin was frozen in time as if she was actually seeing them around the house: around the fire knitting, with their goddaughters having a funny conversation or both of their families having dinner together, many memories contained in one house, where she was the sole guardian.“What happened to them?” Thomas assumed that it was plague related since his trip to the cemetery with
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising dead: Michael Weaver's house
Elizabeth and Thomas stood by the door of Michael Weaver's house, they knocked on the door but no answer came from the other side.There was tension in the air, a million things could explain why Micahel Weaver hasn't answered the door…one of them him being dead by the hand of one of the corpses running around, plus the fact that he hasn't been seen since the appearance of such creatures.The noble-born woman knocked on the door a second time, hoping the first attempt of announcing their presence was just not heard.But a couple of seconds later and no sound came from the other side.Thomas thought it was enough courtesy and decided to try to open the door and he could do it without any problems, it was unlocked.They stepped inside the house tentatively it looked as if it was recently neglected, not in a bad shape but the dust was starting to cast over the surfaces.Elizabeth made a slow turn to see any signs of life at first glance while Thomas was more detailed and he found one cha
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The rising dead: Revelation
The creature quickly caught on fire, the dress, the flesh and bones, soon enough it was engulfed by the flames and soon she became ashes, luckily the house didin’t suffer the same fate.Thomas ran to the kitchen for a bucket of water to treat Elizabeth’s wounded hand and Michael knelt down sobbing, the blond detective was whining of pain as her hand would soon be submerged in the water.It was a hasty and blurry moment, so many emotions packed in so little time: Elizabeth, high on adrenaline and in pain, and Thomas scared for Elizabeth, trying to process all the things that happened.As the ashes lay on the ground the truth hit Elizabeth like a bucket of water, Thomas said puzzled “So it’s Maggie?”.The woman clenched her hand around his arm, her eyes still in shock as one single tear fell down her face “It’s-it’s…It’s not Maggie, It’s Mrs Martin, she-she-she is the necromancer” Thomas looked at her eyes as she tried to fight her trembling voice “We need to get to Meredith, FAST”“Wh
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising dead: Confrontation Part 1
Maggie's father had left for a social event between friends that night, so she was all alone in her house the sun was starting to set and the views from the window were foreshadowing a night where the fog would cover the streets and her nerves would be shattered once more. As a precision she locked the door of her house, she was that scared. Ofcourse she thought of going to Rory’s house for company but if she were to be found out to be with him her father would probably disown her. She tried keeping calm and tried focusing on house chores and reading a good book, but at the moment when she would forget everything and start to enjoy what she was doing the image of her sister's corpse would appear in her mind and perturb her again. Maggie was not the superstitious type but the events of the last days really got her and it got significantly worse when she looked out the window again and saw nothing more than a dark thick fog, she deduced that it must have expanded to the entire town.
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising dead: Confrontation- Part 2
Maggie's eyes were wide open and staring directly into the woman blocking her way, Claudia Martin takes a bold and assertive step forward that scared the young woman enough to fall down on the floor on her buttocks.Behind her she could hear the growling sound of Meredith’s corpse, she turned and she was right in the middle of the stairs looking at her with a blank yet terrifying expression. Mrs Martin is looking down at her with contempt “Look at you…” the disgust and pitiful rage in her voice was painful to hear “soft, clumsy and helpless. Just like you have been all your life…you haven't changed a single bit…” she scoffs at her fearful demeanour and trembling frame “Pathetic and weak, not able to fend for yourself…to the point of others needing to take the risk to protect you, risks that often lead others to their death, but this time…this time, you are getting what you deserve and no one will come to save you”Tears were forming in Maggie's eyes she didn’t understand what was exa
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Rising Dead: Epilogue
Thomas managed to secure her with some cuffs he had with him, it didn’t fit her properly but it would work for the time being.He then walked to Elizabeth and Maggie and wrapped his big strong arms around them making them both feel safe and contained, Maggie clutched to the blue fabric that once was her sister's dress and kissed it softly in her memory.The sound of screams brought the neighbours all over the house, finding the horrifying scene, as soon as Thomas explained the situation Claudia was taken into the police station.Rory was one of the first people to arrive and he held Maggie in his gaze, she knew that they could not interact directly but she knew he was looking over at her.Her father was furious at Claudia and scared of what could have happened to his only living child, he thanked Elizabeth and Thomas and offered anything they wanted for ridding the town of the undead.Alan Murray woke up in Claudia’s house not knowing the events that had transpired but as soon as he s
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The burning of the witch
After the events that transpired at the mayor's Lucas Saweyer’s house where an undead attacked the only living child of the town’s leader, Maggie, by moving corpses commanded by the town's doctor Claudia Martin. The residents of Crawley had been shaken that night and the whole affair was aggravated by the days of fear that they had experienced with the fog and the horrible images it could be holding, the imagination was an enemy to the people of this town. When this type of tension, feelings of unsafety and fear collide in people's lives for this long it pushes people to their most primal selves…and the residents of this town had enough of all three and qualified their actions after the events transpired as primal would be too kind. The burning of a Witch had not been a thing in civilised England in a long time, even the late Queen Anne had pardoned one Jane Wenhamw from hanging a century ago out of the out barbarity of the whole affair, and probably due to her innocence. But the c
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Aftermath
Elizabeth sat comfortably at Alan Murray's kitchen table. A cup of tea was resting near her with toasted bread and slices of cheese as the house owner was taking off her bandages to clean her burn. Alan took a soft wet cloth and started to clean the wound gently, even tho his movements were slow and careful she still winched in pain ever so often “Do you think it will leave a mark?” “I am afraid it will Lass, this is going to be with you for life…” He says completely sure but smiles at her “But it will be a reminder that you saved someone's life once, a person that was dear to me” Elizabeth hissed as the burned flesh on her palm was being cared for but tried to keep high spirits “It was my pleasure, I know that Michael is very dear to you…and the type of attachment you made with him after your wife died.” Alan was silent for a couple of seconds, that was a secret he didn’t want anyone to know about there was something about this London girl who knows more than a Lady should that ma
