Kevin's POV

I knew from the moment that I opened this book, it would peak my interest. So I've taken it upon myself to explore the contents of this book.

From the text of the book to it's detailed drawings, I manage to write down a few notes in my notebook. It was difficult to translate at first but it turns out that it was written in Latin.

I flip through a few pages and see some pretty graphic pictures on the pages. One picture that stuck out to me at the moment was the image of a person enveloped in vines. Their arms and legs look almost immobile due to the visual amount of pressure being applied.

This got me thinking...

Avi's arms and legs were covered in thorns and splinters when he came home a few hours ago...

Maybe...nah.

It was just a coincidence.

My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on my door.

"Come in."

The door opens, revealing an exhausted looking Kirstie.

"Kevin, what are you doing? Please will you just get rid of that thing. You should be downstairs helping Scott clean out the basement. It's a mess down there."

"I don't know what you're talking about Kit."

"Don't act like that Kevin. You said you'd help him."

"Ok fine. Tell him I'll be down there in a few minutes."

"Ok. Don't waste anymore time being consumed by that book Kevin. I don't trust it."

"Ok Kirstie."

Scott's POV

When I say that the smell of death stinks....that's an
understatement when it comes to this basement. These cats look like they've been hanging in here for years due to how decayed their bodies looked. I can't even tell you how many there are down here. Probably about 20-­25 cats in total.

"Gee thanks for the help Kevin. Love you too." I say sarcastically to myself.

Walking up to a cat, I cut it down with a pair of heavy duty wire
cutters. I managed to cut down 3 cats and fit them into one bag. Continuing this process until I finally manage to get all of the cats down. Kevin came down stairs as I was halfway into
bagging the cats.

"Hey man. I'm finally here." Kevin says as he walks through the door.

"Kevin where have you been?"

"I'm sorry man. I was so into that book that we found down here. Kirstie had to talk to me out of reading the book so I could help you down here and here I am."

"Kevin I'll be honest...I'm curious about the contents of that book
too but I'm also hesitant about it. What if Avi is right about it
being voo-­doo or something?"

"It might be something else...but I doubt this book will even do
anything. It might have been placed here to mess with out
minds. Someone might have WANTED for us to find it."

"That's true. You might be right. Now let's hurry up and clean up this mess. The smell is making me gag."

Me and Kevin finally bag up all of the cats and start to throw them away outside. The only thing that sucks about that is that it's raining outside. I took the last bag outside and placed it in the large trash can outside by the barn.

I was about to walk back inside when I noticed a small pile of
blood ground.

"What the..."

Then it clicked.

I haven't seen Wyatt all day. Did he get himself hurt?

"Wyatt?"

I followed the tiny trail of blood and it leads to a hole that I
assume leads into the barn from the floor. I crouch down and see Wyatt at the end of the little tunnel.

"Wyatt, come out of there."

He doesn't move.

"WYATT!!"

No movement.

"Shit..."

I walk into the barn and see a box that's barely covering the
hole I was talking about.

"Wyatt..."

I slide it back and the view horrified me. Wyatt was covered in blood and his body was mutilated.

"Wyatt....no...." I cry. I reach down and carefully lift the small
cat from the hole and craddle him into my chest. "What did you
get into?"

I cry over mine and Mitch's cat for at least 10 minutes before I
see something that makes my blood boil.

A hammar with the head covered in fresh blood. Along with it is a name written in blood.
