Chapter 1- Altar's Collar
Dew forms thick on the grass, the wind blowing it ever so calmly, on the edge of the white house. The leaves fall on me from the unclean silver gutters, causing me to shiver.... It's been three months. Three long months since I visited this house. The Vermont Street Residence.....

"Edgar! Edgar where are you!"
"Coming Ray!" I run up to the steps where my sister stands with an Australian Shepard pup.
"Edgar, this is Altar. Dad found him on the road." She said, handing him to me. I stroked him behind his brown ears, damp with rain and mud, most likely from roadside puddles.
I read his nametag, which looked more like a dirty medal with letters etched into it. "Altar..."

I shake the old wet cedar leaves from my black jacket and out of my hood, and walk to the back, next to the wooden shed. I lift the iron bar and open the shed and reach my hand through the darkness. I hear a small clink as my hand catches hold of the old fabric. I pull out Altars collar... old, and stained with blood, but the letters still read clear.
"Altar..."
It begins to rain, making the collar shine like a mirror, reflecting my green eyes as if they where a beasts. I put it in my pocket and walk up to the front steps of the old house. I open the door and walk into the dark house, lit no more than by the lightning flashing every nine seconds, the wood floorboard creaking below me and the glass crushing under my feet, just below the navy blue carpet....
