Witness to More Horrors at Eddinberg Castle

It has been years and years since I have ventured out of the castle. I got really good at hiding, like Papsy Rai once told me to and found good places in the Eddinberg castle. And then Doctor Ivan got mushed up by lots of heroes and then another guy came to live here. Mr. Haku-Venjance who kind of reminds me of Papsy Rai. He gots rid of some of Doctor Ivan’s stuff and his experiments and then he did some more experiments with Doctor Ivan’s ‘quipment and then he shut the doors. I’ve been hiding behind the shut doors and in all sorts of different dark places in his castle and he never finds me. I thought that maybe Doctor Ivan’s stuff would be lost forever, too, and no one would try and make any more experiments, which was good, because they were scary. But it’s bad ‘cause all my other experiment friends are dead now, and I’m the last.

Lots of people try to come visit and some of them are stitchy and try to take my parts, but I run away and hide again. Usually Mr. Haku-Venjance scares them off or makes the triangle-hat-man get rid of them, but this one lady, Amfleece came to see the castle, and he didn’t scare her off. Maybe it was because she was so pretty. And cold. It was so hot outside, but she was so cold. He led her through the castle and they were talking about a number seven house and were there vampires here? And she made him lead her to some dead boxes, but she seemed disappointed. They don’t know that there are other people hiding here, too. They came here to hide from another place.

Mr. Haku-Venjance showed her the rest of the rooms and she got sooo excited when she saw Doctor Ivan’s room. She got the kind of excited that makes me want to run away. She saw his books and she saw his tools and she saw his machine and was so interested. She spent a little time there and then asked Mr. Haku-Venjance if she could borrow some things and he said, “Of course.” She was really happy then and took a bunch of Doctor Ivan’s books with her.

I was afraid that she was going to make some experiments, so I followed her and I saw that she was. Straight away she made awful experiments… even awfuler than me and awfuler than Shadow-fires and even awfuler than Doctor Ivan’s experiments.

She made human lamps that stood still and had light pouring out of their eyes and ears and mouths. And they were still alive and screaming in their heads because the light was slow, bright fire. She made trees that had people feelings and could feel everything from the tickling feet of the ants to the pounding of the woodpeckers. And they made quiet screaming too. She made abominations that she thought were bad testers like I was with Doctor Ivan, and she didn’t kill them, but kept on testing with them. And they scream the longest.

I don’t know what she wants to do with these experiments, but she is having too much fun and causing too much pain. She is close to making things like Doctor Ivan did… but hers are mean and filled with hate and she makes them all hurt before she sends them away into villages and towns where they kill and hurt even more.

I just thought I should let people know. Maybe more heroes should come and mush her up like they did with Doctor Ivan. I hid some of his books so she can’t find them. Maybe I’ll throw some in the fire when no one is looking. Mr. Haku-Venjance forgot to eat another plate of food tonight and he left it on the table, so once he is away, I’m gonna eat it and then hide again.
