Matilda keeps close to Arthur as he tries to unlock the door and hears him say something about Rupert's son.
"Yeah the guy did look at us like we were no good. If he knew about the place then he's probably selling it to get more money" she watches him get his phone out.
She moves away from Arthur to try and look in a window for signs of life.

Matilda: You find it hard to see anything through the windows. Whoever boarded them up done a good job.
Although one of them looks like its been tampered with. You snap your hand back as you feel something jag your fingertip. You look and see it is only a splinter. As you pull it out a small pool of blood springs up from the wound.
Watching the blood you hear the familiar but alien whispering of the Red Mask in your mind.
'The dagger is yours! Take it from him, it will kill him!'

Matilda makes her way slowly to the window to try and look to see signs of life. “Balls someone's been here” she said to herself before moving her hand back. “Oww that hurt” she says slightly louder as she pulls out the splinter.
Hearing the voice of The Red Mask telling her that the dagger will kill him “yes I must take the dagger and kill him, but Arthur has it and he won't give me it” she says quietly as she makes her way back slowly.

"Property at *blah* address, Ross's Corners. Who's selling?" He asks directly.

Arthur:'One moment sir.' you can here the click of a keyboard and the man speaks again 'The property is listed as being sold by Mr.Bertrand Merryweather. Are you interested in purchasing the Old Farmhouse Sir?'
Matilda: You hear nothing else from the voice of the Red Mask. It is almost as if it expended its power sending you the warning.

Matilda carries on making her way to Arthur knowing that he has the knife that will kill Mr Black. She knows that the chances of him giving her the knife is slim to none.
Once she's near him she waits till he's done on the phone. Ready to ask for the knife.

"Actually, I'm not interested in buying. You ask Mr Merryweather to produce the deed for the place, and see how quickly he comes up short. Then you call this number back and we'll discuss why I shouldn't sue your arse, and his."
Arthur hangs up, and looks at matilda. "Everything okay, love? And it was the bloody son."

"I knew he was up to something but how did he know about this place" she says to him as soon as he says about the son.
"I was trying to look into the house and well the Red Mask whispered to me and told me that the dagger you have will kill Mr Black. I don't know if I have to take it from you or not"

Arthur puts away his phone and pulls out the knife. He looks at it closely, checking for runes and writing and symbols, to give any clue who it might be dedicated to. He wasn't going to give it up until he had at least some idea what it was about, and what was going on.

There are runes along the length of the flame shaped blade. But without the proper text books you have no way of uncovering what they mean.

Arthur pulls a piece of thin paper from inside a notebook, and takes a rubbing of the blade for later research, carefully putting it away safe, then hands Matilda the blade.
"It was left for you, so it's yours my love. Just, be careful with it. I'd hat to turn around and find it in me." He smiles teasingly, but in the back of his mind is still the dreamlands matilda stabbing him for her God.

As you hand the blade to Matilda, even though you did with the utmost of care the blade slices your palm.

"Damn it," he exclaims, grabbing at the wound to keep it from bleeding too much.
"Billy, grab that first aid kit of yours. I'm gonna need a hand here." He laughs. A hand, yeah, right. He hoped he wasn't going to need to shoot anyone for a bit, he was a terrible left handed shot, and this cut hurt like the devil.

Matilda takes the blade from Arthur"Thank you love and the only person this is to kill is Mr Black"
She sees the blood on his palm and she didn't like seeing the blood. She felt woozy at seeing it "I'm going over there, I don't know why but ever since we saw Rupert. I've developed an almost phobia" and she walks towards the side of the house.

Billy fetches the kit and tends to Arthur's hand. As Matilda walks away Billy speaks quietly to Arthur.
'You notice how you and me have both been attacked now and Matilda has just been warned! I think they have been trying to distract us from her!'

"I think you're right. I was warned away quite harshly ... now this bloody knife. I swear it cut me deliberately. It's likely the one that cut her, too. I'm worried. Let's get this over with and get out of here. House is mine, so let's just break in." He cradles his hand a little, then pulls out some painkillers and takes a few.

Matilda looks at this knife that she's been given as a gift and is questioning why she has been entrusted with this as she makes her way alone to the side of the house. Making sure she's keeping an eye out for anything stranger than normal.

Matilda: As you move around the house you can see the stained dirt were the corpses had fallen after Billy killed them. Then a noise and a sudden rush of movement from the house into the outhouse snaps you back into the moment. A woman covered in blood and half naked runs and ducks into the outhouse. You realise you are gripping the blade by the hilt. A wave of confidence in yourself fills your mind and soul, you don't need the others for this. Anyway they were busy.
Arthur: Billy pulls a set of lock picks from his jacket and in a few seconds has the door opened. He enters with his pistol drawn and low.

Arthur follows behind Billy, torch in one hand, his talisman in the other. He wasn't sure what they were going to find, but he suspected it wouldn't be pretty.
They hadn't come this way last time, they'd gone in the back. He looked to see if any of the floor had been repaired.

Matilda is in her own world walking around humming a tune as she carries this knife. She sees the dirt from the corpses and just walks past it. She then sees the woman half naked and covered in blood bolt into the outhouse.
Normally Matilda would tell the others but she feels different. She's confident and has this belief that she can deal with whatever is going on. She had the knife. She was chosen. She makes her way slowly to the outhouse. Ready to deal with whatever is going on.

Arthur: The floor had indeed been repaired. Both you and Billy have an easy time of entering the building.
Matilda: You notice a bloody hand print on the door to the outhouse. As you open the door you're immediately struck by the overpowering scent of blood. You see the mostly naked woman cowering in the corner clutching a large piece of patterned cloth. She is crying and you can see he body is covered in cuts, old and new.

"Someone's done a bit of work here," he says, "likely getting it ready for sale, I'm starting to doubt if we'll find anything here now."
He moves into the house, beginning to look around carefully. He's still annoyed at young Merryweather for assuming he owned the place.

Matilda sees the bloody handprint and thinks what is going on but turning back isn't an option. She opens the door and the small of blood hits. and she is trying not to let it affect her.
She sees the woman in the corner and she is covered in cuts and is crying. Wanting to see how she is. Matilda makes her way slowly to the woman.

Arthur: Most of the ground floor has been repaired and modernised. A whole new kitchen unit has been fitted, windows replaced with double glazing, the walls plastered and brightly painted. All traces of what happened here last time are now gone. You stand in the kitchen with Billy. Up or Down?
Matilda: As you move closer to the woman you can hear her whispering he Lord's Prayer and rocking back and forth.

Arthur looks around. The more he saw, the less he thought they could possibly find. Perhaps coming back wasn't a good idea after all.
"Well, they've certainly fixed up the place a bit. Let's check the basement first, eh?"
He heads for the stairs down, shining his torch ahead, looking for a light switch.

Hearing the Lord's prayer makes her feel uncomfortable for a while. Then again people do believe in different God's or deities she thought. She decides against talking to the woman straight away as she might cause damage.
She starts to look around the rest of the outhouse to see what she's dealing with.

Arthur: Taking your time descending the stairs you take caution, remembering the hobo that had been hiding here. The cellar is full of building materials now.
Matilda: The car that had been here the last time, isn't here now. The outhouse is full of old pots of paint, tools, lengths of chain and tool boxes. You are looking around when you think you hear the woman whisper your name.

Hmm that is strange Matilda thinks as she's looking around the outhouse just seeing the paint pots and the various tool boxes everywhere So his son is fixing up the place. Someone didn't get the inheritance he wanted. She laughs a little as soon as she thought that.
She carries on looking around. Clearly seeing that the car wasn't there hence the tools and paint pots when she thinks she hears her name being called "No she can't be whispering my name. She has no idea who I am" she says quietly as she works out her next move. There has to be an explanation for all this she thinks.

Arthur looks around the basement, first going to check the rafters. That's where Matilda said she'd found the book. Then he looks along he walls, in the corners, under the stairs, hoping for something. Anything. Secret doors, whatever.
"Billy, if you were going to hide something, where would you hide it?"
