CHAPTER 2
Ole man Emerson, was sitting on the balcony looking up at the moon, it had red swirls in it. As his vision of the past played through his head. A woman of sandy brown skin and the deepest black hair you ever wanted to envision, with big brown eyes, a smile to light your saddest day. He could see the feud going on in which took her life his wife for so many years. A story that for so long have went untold and soon it will all come to light again.
It was a cold November morning when it was knock at the door, ole man Emerson was in the study so he answered the door, it was this mob of people at the front gate and stood in his face was a slender man, about 5’9 with a stick in his hand craved into a spear and a bible in the other.
“For I know who and what you are, and I come to place you all in this house to rest so this town can be rid of the evil, the misery you and your family have placed on us and the family in which you took your bride, today you all will be destroyed….” Ole man Emerson, called for his help and yelled get off my property! Your not wanted here! Be gone or I will take your life.
As the man turned, it was two big creature looking man standing behind him…ole man Emerson told them to do away with him. And closed his door. Went up stairs to his wife and newborn baby. “Linda pack a little over night bag for you and Brian, you have to move under ground.” As he moved the big picture off the wall and opened a passage to a stairwell, he took the baby and her to safety. It was like a whole other mansion inside the mansion. Linda never ask a word, she knew that her husband knew best, and she had nowhere to go for she was no longer part of what the world was.
Linda was content she was with the man she loved, coming from a family not so well off, or as close as the family she had married in. Her mother had past away when she was 6 yrs old giving birth to her brother, it was 4 of them all together, her father raised them the best he could with neighbors helping and friends and family. And her father hated the Emerson family for what they stood for…most of the town folks where scared of them.
First it was they practiced black magic, and then it was they were devils of the night. True enough it was strange stuff going on from the time they moved in town. But it didn’t stop Linda from falling in love with this tall stranger that is now her husband. He would send her flowers, take her on night rides on the estate and one night she became his bride
An lady of the house. Her father was so mad at her, he locked her in a cellar, but it didn’t hold her, one night she woke up and craved the desire of her husband and escaped. And the war started between these two families.
This war took older man Emerson sister and one of his sons, and Brian’s mother and grandmother, that which his grandmother killed herself, not to be killed by a stranger she stake herself. That night it was cold and windy. The family was underground, because of the dangers above ground. The women sitting in front of the fireplace attending to the kids running around, Brain's mother was rocking him to sleep. A noise of the door being kick in, they can hear people walking about upstairs, and one of them found there way down in the basement floor of the mansion, and called out for others to join him. Brian’s mother took and placed him in his basket and put him under the floor board. As the men took and placed the other kids in hiding, and grabbing guns, telling the woman to take cover.....
A knock on the door, ole man Emerson wipe the tears and said “come in”
as the vision disappears......father, what’s wrong? Brain ask in a worried voice. Look as if you have been crying. I am fine son. What is the matter?
We are ready for the meeting in the study; the bank is here along with the contractors, and the rest of the family that is with the new project. Ok son, I will be there in a few minutes, let me get myself together, i forgot it was today. this family have came along way, he smiled and said, set them up and get the meeting going.
Brian look back at his father as he walk out the room, he never wanted a meeting to start without him. He had took over the family investment company for his father older man Emerson, Brian's grandfather, which was a storm waiting to happen inside of him, he had not recovered from losing his wife, to such unneedless fighting. But he went down and began the meeting. Introduce himself and spoke on behalf of his father, who will be attending in a few.
