The dance

The man stood in the entrance to the cave, the man was called detective Steve lions he was investigating a case regarding a series of killings. What he already knew was that all of the killings were people who had great intelligence, three of the people had Asperger’s syndrome and one had an IQ of 100. All of the victims had been lured into this cave and then they never returned.

Steve looked inside the cave and saw the bodies they all had letters cut into their bodies. The detective took some photos and ran. When he left he looked back and saw a shadow darting about the cave. He ran to the police station.

Later after the police saw the evidence he headed home and when he arrived home he saw a shadow in the bathroom window, he ran to the window and saw the bathroom was empty. Later he was making his food when his son came home; his son was a genius who went to Cambridge University at the age of 15. His son sat up in his room watching iron man when he saw a shadow of a man with a knife, it vanished.

Later when Steve went to look in on his son all he saw was the blood stains on the wall. Steve ran. In the kitchen he grabbed the phone but when he turned around he saw the message on the fridge. It said “I like it here; I think I shall stay, and then I shall feast.”

The investigation concluded the death as suicide and that there is nothing in the house, Steve wanted answers so he headed back to his house and went to Google. He searched “mysterious shadow deaths” and the search revealed that people with a high IQ were dying and the shadows were moving again, Steve was confused but his thoughts were interrupted by a low breathing on the back of his neck it whispered “stay out of business that does not concern you, the lords are rising again and the shadows will dance to their tune not that of humanity” then Steve turned around and saw nothing.  He went back to the computer and searched “the lords are rising” it came up with some songs and stuff, but right at the bottom was an article regarding people from history regarded as lords of humanity, authors, poets, scientists clever people, it said they are rising again to lead the shadows to claim humanity again.

Steve ran back to the cave and saw four bodies and cut into the flesh of the bodies was letter spelling out dance the shadows stabbed and slashed at him cutting into his chest, he fought back but out of the shadow appeared faces; he saw Shakespeare and Einstein screaming out to him begging for mercy. The shadows breathed on his neck and mocked him he screamed “DANCE!” and the shadows danced and spun around him and they flew into the bodies and they awoke.

The leader of the shadows was on the floor he whispered “please find my body and then I can be free again and escape the burning of the end” Steve said “no your body burnt, you can only be free by death” the shadow said “then free me” and he died but the shadows flew away into the night sky and shattered.

Steve hugged his son and the world was safe from the dance.
