Chapter Concept: The County of Terror (Part 3)

Hey, this is the third part of the chapter, I couldn't fit the whole chapter in a single post as it's over the character limit.

Cody Markson was a respected sheriff at the North Valleyview Police Department, known for his bravery and keen instincts. He had a reputation for being unflappable, someone who could keep a cool head in the most intense situations. On a night when reports came in about a possible kidnapping in an abandoned building on the outskirts of town, Cody and his partners were called to investigate. They moved through the derelict structure with caution, flashlights casting weak beams in the darkness.

The building was a maze of rusted staircases, crumbling walls, and forgotten debris. Cody decided to take the lead, instructing his team to spread out and cover different sections of the building. As he ascended a dark staircase, he felt a sense of unease. The higher he climbed, the darker it became. When he entered a room at the top, he was met with a darkness so dense that even his flashlight couldn't pierce it. He took a step forward, but instead of solid ground, he felt nothing but air beneath him.

He plummeted through the pitch-black void, falling for what seemed like an eternity. When he finally hit the ground, it was with a jarring thud that sent shockwaves through his body. Cody found himself in a vast expanse of brick walls and cold concrete tile, with no way to call for help. His radio was dead, and he was cut off from his team. He knew he had to find a way out, but the layout of this strange place seemed designed to confuse and disorient.

As Cody moved through the endless corridors, he became aware of something following him—a dark, elongated entity that stretched and distorted with each step. Its presence was a creeping shadow, silent but unmistakable in its malice. Cody's instincts kicked in, and he drew his sidearm, but the bullets passed through the entity without leaving a mark. He was forced to run, the shadowy figure relentless in its pursuit. It twisted through the corridors, closing the distance with unnatural speed.

After a frantic chase, Cody managed to lose the entity, but not without injury. In his desperate escape, he stepped into a hidden bear trap. The metal jaws snapped shut on his leg, sending searing pain up his body. Gritting his teeth, he applied a tourniquet to slow the bleeding and limped to a nearby wall, hoping to catch his breath. But the pain was overwhelming, and soon everything went black.

Cody Markson's consciousness faded as he felt his body melt into the cold concrete. His skin fused with his clothes, his clothing with the walls, and his equipment with the surrounding brickwork. His jaw sank into his neck, rendering him mute, and his eyes vanished into his skull, plunging him into eternal darkness. Trapped and immobile, he decayed slowly, a prisoner in the Entity's realm, with no way to escape. Cody, once a brave sheriff, had become a part of the very structure he had hoped to escape, his presence a grim reminder of the dangers that lurk in the shadows.

Lagrand Thumb, a seasoned school resource officer, was a familiar sight at North Valleyview School. He was a towering figure, with a calm demeanor that put students and teachers at ease. On most days, he would make his rounds, checking classrooms, ensuring the hallways were secure, and chatting with the janitorial staff who worked late shifts. His reputation for being fair but firm made him a respected authority figure, someone who took his job seriously but never let it harden his heart.

It was a cool Friday evening when Lagrand settled into his night shift, expecting a quiet patrol. The school's fluorescent lights flickered faintly, casting eerie shadows across the empty hallways. As he walked, he heard a faint sound—a soft thud, like a door being forced open. The sound was followed by a sudden silence that made the hair on his neck stand on end. Lagrand paused, listening intently, and then, with a hand on his holstered pistol, he moved toward the source of the noise.

He found the door to the maintenance room kicked off its hinges, leaning awkwardly against the wall. But what caught his attention was the dense, black fog that seeped out from the room, swirling around his ankles. Lagrand felt a chill run through him. He’d seen all sorts of things in his time as an officer, but nothing like this. The fog was unnaturally cold, and it seemed to pulse with a life of its own, drawing him in. Against his instincts, he stepped through the doorway, compelled by a sense of duty and a gut feeling that something was terribly wrong.

The moment Lagrand entered the room, the world shifted. The familiar hum of the school's electrical system faded, replaced by a deep, foreboding silence. The fog grew thicker, enveloping him, and as he tried to draw his pistol for comfort, it began to melt in his hand, dissolving into a viscous liquid that dripped through his fingers. Lagrand's heart raced as he realized he was no longer in the school. Instead, he was in a nightmarish realm, a forest of towering trees and distant screams, where unseen threats lurked in the darkness.

Lagrand Thumb had no idea where he was or what had just happened. The fog seemed to have a will of its own, whispering unintelligible words as it swirled around him. As he moved through the dark forest, he knew one thing: this place was dangerous. He had to find a way out, not just for his own sake, but for the school he had sworn to protect. Lagrand's instincts as a school resource officer kicked in—he needed to explore, understand, and, most importantly, survive. The Entity's realm had claimed another soul, but Lagrand Thumb was determined to prove that he was not just another victim of the fog. He was a guardian, and he would find his way back to North Valleyview School, no matter what it took.
