The Black Sorcerer

THE DARKNESS CREEPS . YOU SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE ITS NOT MOVING AND JUST STANDING STILL , BUT IN REALITY IT IS MOVING INCH BY INCH TOWARDS YOU . BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOU ARE ENGULFED IN THE DARK . AN ENORMUS BLANKET OF DARKNESS BEGAN TO DESCEND AND LAY ITSELF OVER THE LAND AS PETER WALKED TOWARDS HIS HOME.HE FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS CHASING HIM . HE COULD CLEARLY HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS.HE TURNED AROUND ONLY TO FIND NO ONE .

HE COULD HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER.SWEAT ROLLED DOWN HIS FORHEAD , HIS HEART BEAT INCREASED . HE TURNED BACK AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A MAN STANDING BEHIND HIM AT SOME DISTANCE.HIS FACE WAS COVERED . HE WAS WEARING A LONG BLACK COAT AND HAD A GUN IN HIS HAND . PETER'S BRAIN GOT ULTRA FOCUSED TO FIND AN ESCAPE . HE STARTED RUNNING FORWARDS TO A NEARBY HOTEL , BANGING ON THE DOOR FOR THE NIGHT PORTER TO LET HIM IN . HE RAN DOWN A SIDE STREET AND HID IN A SHALLOW BAY OF GARDEN FENCE.THE MAN BACKED UP TO SEE AN EMPTY STREET AND LEFT . PETER GOT OUT , LOOKED AROUND WITH SUSPICION , AND TOOK A SIGH OF RELIEF . HE SIGHTED A BUTTON ON THE CORNER OF THE ROAD ON WHICH A STRANGE FIGURE WAS ENCARVED . MAY BE THAT BELONGED TO THE STRANGE MAN . HE PICKED IT UP AND RAN TOWARDS HIS HOME AS FAST AS HIS COULD .

( NOAH AND LILY WERE WAITING FOR HIM AT HIS GARDEN . )

LILY " ITS HALF PAST 1 , WHERE IS HE ? "

NOAH " I DON'T KNOW , HE IS NOT ANSWERING MY CALL . "

LILY " TRY TO RING HIM AGAIN . "

NOAH " IT MUST BE HARD FOR HIM , AFTER KATE , I WONDER HOW HE IS KEEPING UP WITH EVERYTHING . YOU KNOW, LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE . I DON'T KNOW , I .  . . "

HE MOVED CLOSE TO LILY , HELD HER HAND , CARESSED HER HEAD TENDERLY , HIS MISTED EYES RESTED UPON LILY'S AS HE SAID " PROMISE ME THAT YOU AND ME ITS FOREVER , PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME , I . . . . . . .UHH ( HIS VOICE BREAKS ) YESTERDAY WHEN I SAW PETER CRYING FOR KATE I IMAGINED ME , I CAN'T EVEN LIVE WITH THE THOUGHT OF YOU BEING AWAY ( LILY WIPES HIS TEARS ) JUST DON'T LEAVE ME EVER . "

LILY " I PROMISE I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU . YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING TO WORRY . "

LILY HUGS NOAH .  NOAH HOLDS LILY TENDERLY AS IF HE HAS THE MOST VALUEABLE TREASURE IN HIS ARMS .

NOAH " LILY SOMEONE IS STANDING AT THE GATE , HEY MAN WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AT THIS HOUR . "

THE MAN AT THE GATE TAKE OUT A GUN FROM HIS POCKET AND HE SHOOTS TOWARDS THEM .

LILY ( SHOUTS ) " NOAHHHHH . . . . . . . . . . . "

NOAH " LILY HURRY LETS HIDE BEHIND THE CAR , RUSH . "

A BULLET HITS NOAH'S LEG , NOAH GROANS IN PAIN 

.

LILY " HELP ! ! ! ! ! ! NOAH I AM COMING . "

NOAH " NO , NO JUST DON'T COME HERE GO AND FIND A SAFE PLACE . "

LILY " I AM NOT LEAVING YOU . "

THE MAN FIRES ANOTHER BULLET , IT HITS THE WINDSHEILD OF THE CAR.NOAH SHOUTS IN PAIN . LILY CRIES FOR HELP . SUDDENLY PETER HITS HIM AT HIS BACK , HIS GUN FELL DOWN . THE MAN AND PETER GET INTO A FIGHT . HE PUNCHES PETER ON HIS STOMACH , PETER FALLS ON HIS KNEES , HE

THEN KICKS HIM UNDER HIS CHIN WHICH MAKES HIM UNCONCIOUS AND PETER FALLS LIFELESSLY ON THE GROUND . THE STRANGE MAN THEN ESCAPES THE SCENE . NOAH TRIES TO GO AFTER HIM BUT THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE WITH HIS INJURED LEG .

( SHERIFF HARINGSTON ARRIVE AT THE SCENE . PETER REGAINS HIS CONCIOUSNESS ; )

SHERIFF " PETER CALLED ME , WAIT !  WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE . "

LILY'S VOICE CRACKS AS SHE SAYS " I DONT KNOW , WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE ( SHE STARTS SOBBING ) A STRANGE MAN , HE JUST CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND STARTED FIRING US . NOAH HAS INJURED HIS LEG AND PETER , PETER ARE YOU FINE . "

NOAH " PETER JUST LOOK AT ME , STAY WITH ME . "

PETER ( GROANS IN PAIN ) " I , AHHHHH I AM FINE , I AM FINE.HE WAS THE SAME MAN . "

LILY " HE WAS WHO ? HAVE YOU SEEN HIM BEFORE . "

PETER " HE WAS CHASING ME DOWN THE STREET AND HE THEN TRIED TO SHOOT ME , I SOME HOW ESCAPED . "

SHERIFF " DID YOU KNEW HIM FROM BEFORE . "

PETER " NO , NO WHY WILL HE TRY TO ATTACK ME AND SOMEHOW HE KNOWS WHERE I LIVE . "

LILY " WAIT WAS HE THE BLACK SORCERER ! "

SHERIFF " NO IT CAN'T BE . "

LILY " IT WAS THE HEADLINE OF TODAY'S NEWS ' THE BLACK SORCERER IS BACK . ' "

NOAH " WHO IS HE ? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE . "

SHERIFF " HE IS A CURSE, WHEN LAST HE WAS OUT , HE DRAINED TONS OF BODIES OUT OF THEIR LIVES. HE HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE . HIS REIGN LASTED FOR A DECADE , NO ONE WAS EVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY HIM . "

PETER " I HAVE HEARD OF HIM BEFORE . MY GRAND MOTHER REFERED HIM AS A MERCYLESS BEAST. AND WITH HIM OUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . "

SHERIFF " NONE OF US IS SAFE , WE ARE ALL IN DANGER . AND THE WORST PART WE CAN'T DO ANY THING TO STOP HIM BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE . "

NOAH " WAIT A MINUTE , WHAT ABOUT HIS VICTIMS ? ? "

SHERIFF " NONE ALIVE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

LILY " IS HE AFTER PETER . "

SHERIFF " I DON'T THINK BECAUSE IF HE WANTED HIM DEAD HE MUST HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW . MAY BE WANTS TO TERRORIZE THE TOWN AGAIN . ONCE HE WROTE A LETTER TO THE POLICE STATING HOW MUCH HE LOVES TO SEE THE LOOK OF FEAR ON THE FACES OF HIS PREYS . HE IS DEFINITELY A PSYCHO . "

LILY " WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP ? "

SHERIFF " JUST PRAY THAT WHO SO EVER ATTACKED YOU GUYS TODAY SHOULD NOT BE THE BLACK SORCERER . JUST PRAY THAT HE DOES NOT COM BACK BECAUSE IF HE DOES THE TOWN WILL EXPERIENCE RAIN OF BLOOD . "
