Chapter 8

In the morning, Daniel and Piper hit the road. Piper acted as a compass of sorts—giving Daniel the way that they needed to go. It was as Calla had said, these memories—or whatever they were, had a calling, a need to want to head home. They drove along a small two-lane road as the looming bluffs gave way to gentle green rolling hills. High wild grasses and wildflowers filled the meager spaces between the densely forested hills.

“This seems a lot like the place you’ve told me about,” Daniel said as the road was eventually swallowed beneath the canopy of a great forest.

“This feels right,” Piper said quietly as she stared out the window, a hand upon the cool surface of the glass. Though being back here gave her a great feeling of comfort, she could not shake the feeling that something terrible awaited them. Perhaps they would come upon that house—in fact, the more she thought upon it, the more she began to remember it. She pointed off to the right as a small gravel road emerged ahead of them. They followed the road a bit, as the SUV crawled its way over the rough graveled surface as a heavy, white dust filled the air and danced about them. The sun shone brightly through the dancing swirls of dirt and dust kicked up by the SUV tires, tiny swirls of illuminated smoke danced in their wake. They rounded a large hill and came upon a small wooden building. It was in such a sad state, with its shattered glass windows and broken walls. An illegible sign dangled beneath a roof that was full of holes. Tight, twirling vines climbed along beams that attempted to hold up a porch. The entire building had a slight slant as it looked as though the earth attempted to claim part of it.

“Doesn’t look like a very populated place,” Daniel said as the SUV climbed over a high buckle in the road. They continued onward and passed by a house that seemed to be a little bit more cared for than the others were. Piper had Daniel stop as she gave a moment to gaze at the front door—it did not match the one from her visions. They drove on a little bit further and found a newer construction. A cottage style house resided along the gravel road. It was large and had a long driveway. The yard was a little overgrown from neglect—however the house looked far newer than any of the others in the vicinity. Daniel pulled into the driveway of the wood home. Piper jumped out from the passenger seat as she walked towards the front door. It was exactly as she had seen in the visions—only, it was the end result of what she had witnessed. The door was smashed in completely, shards of stained glass rested upon the concrete step. She peeked into the building. Black stains filled the kitchen.

Daniel climbed out of the vehicle and placed his hand upon Piper’s back.
