From Within Page #3

I guess losing Natalie was

more than he could handle.

All we can do is pray.

For him or us?

Us?

People are saying things.

Like what?

Like, you know,

maybe it's, like, a suicide pact.

What the hell is this?

Mary, what's up?

Dylan's going to kick his ass.

- Whose ass?

- Wait, Lindsay.

Dylan?

That guy's a freak.

Dylan? What's going on?

No need to worry.

Dylan, what are you do...

Don't you worry. No need to worry.

Don't you look at her.

For God's sakes, Dylan.

They worship the devil, Lindsay.

You can't worship something

you don't believe in.

Satan's a creation of your religion.

Hit him, hit him. Harder.

Stop this right now.

Dylan.

Thy pain is thy cleansing.

Yeah, man. Good job.

Yeah, Dylan.

Thank you for helping me.

Sorry about your brother.

Thank you.

I'm Aidan.

Lindsay.

You seem to know your way.

We used to sneak back here.

For a good scare?

We were kids.

It's okay.

My mother actually liked the visits.

She loved children.

It's the adults that made her suffer.

Are you coming in?

No, I shouldn't.

You've seen the outside

of the house enough as a kid,

you might as well see the inside.

You got stuff for those cuts?

Inside, I do.

That's my great-grandmother.

Do you play?

No.

Do you believe he killed himself?

He hated himself.

He always did.

When I found his body, I wasn't surprised.

Do you have any other family?

I have a cousin Sadie.

She's coming down tomorrow

from New York for the funeral.

I haven't spoken to my father in a year.

That's where they killed her.

I thought the fire was an accident.

Well, that's what they said.

Crazy woman tripped

over a few candles.

Fire spreads fast,

and she's trapped inside.

It was retribution.

I guess it didn't take much

for them to blame her,

especially since what they said she was.

I'm sorry.

Why'd you and your brother

come back?

This is the house we grew up in.

It's our home.

That's her.

She's beautiful.

You remind me of her.

Really?

I don't mean looks.

It's how you carry yourself.

How you treat people.

Is that you and your brother?

That's me.

I've never seen that side of Dylan.

You have to believe me.

His other side must be something.

When...

When my father died,

I was lost.

He came...

he came to me from the church,

pulled me through a bad time.

Loss brings people together.

What is it?

Nothing.

It's just that Dylan said

something similar recently,

about trials and tribulations.

Billy, is that you?

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

Come to me.

What are you doing?

Hey.

You can sneak a peek, honey.

I ain't shy.

Where have you been?

Out driving.

Don't you lie to me.

I wasn't doing anything.

I think I'm going to leave you to it.
