"Tell me
"I don't know," she said leth
argically, "what happened. They

b orn stupid. She walked down the

oftly in.
He was not qutle asleep, "Ken

"Yes, honey," he said, his voice
ull of sleep. Priscilla's heart was
ouched, although It was only pity
he felt when she heard him call
ler by a term of endearment. She
ould not, she knew then, ask
dm about the men and why they
tad yelled at him. He would not
ell her. She would have got no
ilace, and he would become frlght
ned as he had when she tried to
uestion him before.
She leaned over him and took
IP lis face in her hands, Intending
o place a chaste flss upon nis
orehead. But suddenly it occurred
o her that such a kiss might hurt
i ! lim more than comfort him, so she
I u ilaced a little kiss on his Hps,

loodnight. She saw his expression
! change and, feeling that she had
i irought him happiness, she went to

I Everyone was asleep . . . except

' illver fingers, touched and beckoned.
' rlscilla felt Its power. Come out,
F' lome out, Prlscllla. Find your true
ice .. . true-love ... in Emerald
alley. Prlscllla stirred uneasily,
i 1o matter how she turned, the
' k itrong, coarse sheet seemed to bind
! p ler too tightly, much too tightly.
'She pulled the sheet off altogether

I Ten minutes later she opened the

a elween the time she called Den

irms, yet It could scarcely have
won more than 20 minutes. She

vi would never hear the last of It.
n But then . . . Kenneth was getting

a' ler coat closer and shivered.

"Kennethl" she whispered. There
was no answer. She found the light
switch on the wall, but the light did
not go on. Instead, suddenly a
thousand blinding stars smashed
together Inside her head and then
. . . darkness blacker than any
night enveloped her. Prlscllla lay
motionless on the floor.
Slowly, slowly Prlscllla returned
from the depths of black uncon
sciousness to the lighter darkness
of Kenneth's bedroom. At first
she could not understand what had
happened, that she had been struck,
and then, as that fact began to pen
etrate her mind, she whispered,
"don't hurt me, don't . . ." But
there was no reply from Kenneth.
There was, Indeed, no sound In the
room save her own breathing and
the pounding of her heart.
Prlscllla lay there for a mo
ment with her eyes open and
then, as soon as she could gather
sufficient strength and courage
sne oegan slowly, cautiously to get
to her feet. Her head throbbed.
It felt as big as the house, Itself.
As she put her palms on the floor
to raise herself, the fingers of
rriscina's leit hand closed over a
small oblong object. It was sharp
and It was wet. She pushed it away
but, on second thought, she grabbed
it again, and then rose painfully to
a standing position. Her hand
found the light switch and this time
the light went on. She moved In
the direction of the bed.
At first she could see nothing In
the sudden brightness and then,
when she did see, she could not
believe. It was something Pris
cilia, Inexperienced In the matter
of violent death, had never Imag
ined nor envisaged Deiore . , ,
the matted thickness of bloodv
blanket, the unrecognizable face
. . . the gaping gash that half-
severed head from body. When
she had left Kenneth earlier that
evening, his face had worn a peace
ful smile and now this , . . this
was what she had come back
to. Sobs rose in her throat and
she tried to fight them back, tried
to think what was best to do.
Prlscllla did not know she had
been screaming until she turned.
knife in hand, and saw them Mom
and Pop and Dora staring at her.
