ETERNAL DARKNESS: SANITY’S REQUIEM

Edward: (beginning) Flesh… Bone… Bound together with the oddest magicakal incantation. This wretched book is where it all began so long ago… Before time…before humanity… I am Doctor Edward Forest. I am a clinical psychologist. I am also dead... This is not my story, nor even the story of the Forest family. It is the story of humanity. Like it or not, believe it or not as you will. Your perceptions will not change reality, but simply color it. Humanity has been on the edge of extinction for two millennia. Ignorant of so much and dependent on so few. The Guardians grow restless. Their time, once again, near. Whether by fate of misfortune, my family has crossed their path, and they didn’t take kindly to it. Their attention turns to my granddaughter, for she is the last of my true lineage, and the last hope for humanity…


Prelude: A death in the family**

(I rush over to the barred door and bang on it desperately)

Max: (Madly screaming from the other side of the door): May the rats eat your eyes!! The darkness comes!!

(My grandfather’s spirit appears behind me and walks up to me, as I heard a ringing)

Edward: Remember me, Alex?

(I woke up in my room, hearing my phone ringing. I looked at my clock; it said 3:33A.M. I pick up the phone.)

“Uh…hello?” I asked.
“Miss Katy Forest/Kaiba?” A voice replied.
“Uh, yeah? Who’s this?” I asked.
“This is Inspector Largesse of the Rhode Island Police. I’m sorry to disturb you, but there’s been...an accident...with your grandfather.” He said.
“I’ll be on the next flight out, but I won’t be alone. And why didn’t you call my brother instead?” I asked.
“We only found mentioning of you as family,” he said. I woke my brothers, and we left at once.

We arrived at our Grandfather’s mansion and oddly enough, Joey, Yugi, Tea, Tristen, and Duke joined my brothers and me. Yugi and I were dating, so I understood his support, but everyone else? Wow. Yugi sat next to me on the plane to Rhode Island.
“Katy, are you okay?” he asked.
“Yes love, I’m ok,” I replied.
“No, you’re not, your grandfather died. How close were you?” he asked kindly.
“Well, he was there. I visited him every year. He was mom’s dad, so he knew he married into the clans, dad hated that. That’s partially why I left, but Grandpa always stood by me,” I said, “He changed these past five years though.” Yugi nodded, then leaned over and kissed me. He had had a slight growth spurt, so he was now just taller than I was. I grinned sadly as he released me.
“I’m here for you no matter what the news,” he said. I snuggled closer.
<I know.> He kissed my hair.
“Hey, are we there yet?” Joey asked.

I went inside first, my brothers, boyfriend, and friends waiting outside, for now. I met the officer who had called me.
“Ahhh, Miss Forest... I’m pleased to meet you. I trust you had a pleasant trip?” He asked, shaking my hand.
“Umm... Yes, I suppose so, considering...” I replied.
“Yes, my condolences. This is most unpleasant. It’s a shame we couldn’t meet under brighter circumstances,” he replied.
“Yes, it is... Can we get this over with?” I asked.
“Of course. This way. But I must warn you. It’s not a pleasant sight... I’m afraid there’s not much to see...” He informed me. I followed him into the library. He motions for me to look ahead. I glance around the corner and begin to cry, and I also threw up. The body was covered in a sheet, which had blood covering the immediate area. I noticed our clansmen ring, given to all non clansmen marrying into our clans.
“Miss Forest... Is...That your grandfather, Edward?” he asked. I was sobbing as I wiped my face on a towel.
“Yes... It’s him... He’s wearing our family ring... I don’t understand. Why are you showing me this? Can’t you check dental records or something? What is wrong with you?” I asked in a bit of rage.
“I’m... I’m sorry... It’s my job, lady. You’re the only relative he ever mentioned, and no, we can’t check dental records... There’s no head... Ah, none of this makes sense. There’s no sign of intrusion, and there was certainly a lot of force used here. I’ve never seen anything like this in my twenty years on the force. We have no evidence, except for the body, and what’s left doesn’t say much. Ahh... We don’t have a single clue...” He said angrily.
“Well, you better find out who did this. I’m not leaving Rhode Island until you do. There must be some clue in this old mansion revealing what happened. I want answers...” I said.
“So do I... I wish I had some...” he said, then informed me I was free to remain, the house and everything was mine, paid off and such. They had to clean everything up though. I had a large sum of money from the bank also. The cop left, but I wouldn’t leave.
