Chapter 137: A Way to Him
"Bodies?" Rory asked. "As in many bodies?"
Bobby nodded.
Rory couldn’t believe what she was hearing. All those times there were rumors that there are many bodies buried in the woods but for that to be true...
"He... Gollum... he attacked us. We escaped him and now... he has his head chopped. Who could have done it? It must have been in the past few days. We saw that creature and..." Rory thought out loud.
Bobby said nothing and stayed silent. He didn’t want to tell her that they found what appeared to be human tissue among the ruins. He didn’t know for sure. but it sure looked like a neatly done fillet of human flesh.
Rory did not want to think about it more. Her head throbbed with pain. She wanted a change of thought. She walked to her room. She came here with a plan. She must find a way to get to Liam.
When she opened the door, she felt a chill passing through her spine as she remembered the photographs. She turned all the lights on and only when she ensured that she was alone inside that room did she feel some relief. Her fingertips were still trembling.
Her eyes ended up at the closet and she took in a deep breath and walked there. Holding the torch of her phone, she looked around. Only the box that contained her wedding dress was left in the closet.
Her heart pounded.
She took a look at her dress just days ago. She was nervous then but for a different reason. She was bombarded with memories of the past then. But now, she was terrified.
She feared something might have happened to her dress.
With shaking hands, she brought the box to the bed. Pressing her lips, she stared at the box. It would be better if I don’t know the condition of the dress, she thought for a moment.
