Into the Dark Excerpt

Episode #2

Three large stones about four feet in height stood around the platform and each of the women moved to take their place by a separate stone. Allison remained standing in the center of the triangle-like arrangement while Shannon continued aiming the pistol at her.

At the platform by Allison's feet lay a large, flat, rectangular slab of stone protruding slightly above the rock. Although it wasn't high, it appeared coffin-shaped, which did not bode well for her regardless of the sister's assurances she was not meant to die.

"What is this?"

"Our altar, sweetie," Melanie said. "You're our sacrifice."

Despite the warm air, a chill swept across Allison's skin. "I thought you weren't going to kill me."

"You won't die. Not yet. We're sending you through a portal into another dimension where we'll feed on your energy while you're alive. We're witches, sweetie. Immortal witches, as long as we feed on souls to sustain us."

"Funny," Allison grunted. "Do you regale all of your victims with fairy tales?"

Again, Shannon laughed. "It's just too much fun to see the look on your faces!"

"Enough," Morena reprimanded in a sharp tone. "Either we send her or let her go. Let's be done with it."

"Oh, we can't let her go." Shannon giggled, tucking a few strands of black hair behind her ear. "Although, it's been a joy to watch her panic."

"She's not simpering or wailing like some of them, though," Melanie added, glancing at her sister. "Maybe we should shoot her, anyway."

Their bantering sounded too bizarre for Allison to decipher between truth and fiction. They simply concocted nonsense to scare her witless.

Witches? Immortal? A portal into another dimension?

Maybe she was dreaming?
