DS LABYRINTH, Ch. 11 - The Return of Barnabas Cousins

[Mark Rainey]

'Tis here: DARK SHADOWS: THE LABYRINTH OF SOULS Chapter 11. A few RL issues interfered with the writing this week, so it's a little later being posted than I hoped. And I haven't had a chance to do much proofreading, so if you find boo-boos, don't hesitate to bring them up and I will correct them (unless, of course, your name is BooBoo and you're trying to steal my pickanick basket).

NEW! Chapter 11:

Chapter 10:
http://home.triad.rr.com/smrainey/labyrinth10.htm

Chapter 9:
http://home.triad.rr.com/smrainey/labyrinth09.htm

Again, since some people have emailed me wondering how to access earlier chapters: just go to one of the links, rubout the two-digit number after /labyrinth, and place the chapter number you want; i.e., /labyrinth01, /labyrinth02, etc.

Enjoy. And please feel free to post your comments.

Barnabas Cousins certainly DID show up in the nick of time!  LOL

If anyone out there isn't reading this story, yer nuts.

P.S.  If anything happens to Quentin, I'll die -- I swear.  

[Nicole]

Oh My!  This was a very exciting, interesting chapter.  Can't wait for the next.

[Carol]

Reading about "you know who" slithering down the stairs and acting like a snake in the grass, gave me the chills!! Didn't expect that!

Just thinking about it gave me the chills and the humidity here is already 70%!

Great chapter--as always.

Reading about "you know who" slithering down the stairs and acting like a snake in the grass, gave me the chills!! Didn't expect that!

Eeeeewwww!  Yeah!  Wasn't that something??  Scared the sh*t out of me.

Barnabas says:
"Yes, well, I DO hope that after reading this chapter my cousins here will take into consideration my GOOD points as well as my shortcomings.  I feel rather misunderstood at times."

[RingoCollins]

Glad I read this in the day time!


excellent cliff-hanger, man!!

If anything happens to Quentin, I'll die -- I swear.

Lord help me, what am I gonna do if I end up killing Connie? I don't know if I would be able to live with myself!

Ah well... I guess I'd just have to go live with someone else.

Chapter 12 is well into the works. Somebody be ready to call an ambulance in case Connie gets too excited.

I liked the desciption of Carolyn when she was on the floor, it reminded me of that girl in the Exorcist.  And then, just when she is about to grab Julia, who should happen to show up!

That part when Quentin is looking in the snow for tracks and Barnabas shows up is funny too.  Quentin says something about the creature taking his blood, and Barnabas says something like "I assume you don't mean me."  It sounds just like something he would say!

[Daphne]

OMGGGGGGG!!!!! WHOAAAA! That was sooooo creepy!! Carolyn writhing around on the floor and because of the "red eye" .... it's kewl that like what she dreamed actually turned out to be like true, only in her sleep she saw it completely differently. SOOOOOO KEWL!!!!! It's amazing how much goes on in that hallway that no one will ever know about ^_~ And that was creepy about Barnabus saying her blood is contaminated. He could prolly tell Julia more than Carolyn's blood sample could. Or at least something.  :-/ I'm curious 2 find out how this all relates to Quentin's partial-changing with the full moon ^_____^ EEEE!!!!!!! *prance* As always, WRITE MORE!!! I can't wait for Ch 12!!!!! ^______^!!!!

LOL, and

Just thinking about it gave me the chills and the humidity here is already 70%!

It's 100% here everyday and I still got chills!! Freaky!!!
