Dead Birds Page #3

-You will know, neighbor!

Just you wait and see.

You have no idea...

Todd! Joseph!

Where the hell are you, goddamn it?

What is it?

I saw everything.

What exactly did you see?

What's wrong with Sam?

I don't know.

Sam?

He's dead.

-What the hell happened here?

-I don't know.

-Was it his wound?

-It's this place! It did something to him.

What do you mean, "this place"?

Why would Jeffy Hollister

send us here?

-What do you know about this farm?

-What are you talking about?

It was a trap, William!

The farmer that lived here,

he sacrificed his slaves...

...in some sort of ritual

to bring his wife back.

He killed them

because they turned into beasts.

Demons. I saw it.

We need to get outta here, William.

Sam's dead, Todd.

Where the hell have you been?

We need to get as far away

from this farm as we can.

We're not leaving here

without the gold.

-The gold?

-Yeah.

The gold. Remember?

We left you here watching it.

Two against one, Todd.

What are you thinking about?

You know I'll kill him,

Miss Annabelle. You ain't that quick.

Maybe.

He won't be lonely long if you do.

-I should've left you all here.

-You watch yourself.

I've ridden with you a long time.

I've saved your life many times.

-That don't make it yours!

-Put the gun down, Todd.

You had no part in this?

That gold don't mean nothing now.

It's gone.

No...

We find Joseph and Clyde,

and we find that gold.

Did you hear that?

What?

Now it's gone.

Todd...

Forget about Joseph and Clyde.

Your brother's dead.

Let's get on our horses

and get out. Right now.

I don't care what you decide.

It don't matter what you do.

Todd!

Wait just a goddamn minute!

Look at that.

What could have done this?

Looks like I'm walking!

What the hell could have done this

to the horses, William?

-Do you hear that?

-Hear what?

No more.

I can't trust my eyes anymore.

There are worse things to die of.

I'm not leaving here without that gold.

I am.

Annabelle, if you wanna leave,

go with Todd. I'm staying here.

Sam's not dead. He walked out of here.

-Didn't look like he was walking anywhere.

-Well, he's not here now!

He was dead!

Whatever took his body

took it to keep us here.

We have to find him.

William, listen to me!

What is it?

Someone must have come through here.

-Let's keep moving.

-No. Hold on.

-Let's go.

-No, wait!

That's Clyde up there!

Here.

He's all tied up with hemp.

Hold on.

Oh, my God!

What did they do to him?

Have you got your razor?

Slow down!

Annabelle!

William!

William!

William, where are you?

Who's out there?

William!

Where are you?

William!

Dog?

What in God's name is that?

That is the ugliest damn thing

I've ever seen.

It jumped right at us, didn't it?

Gave me a scare.

Unless you're fixin' to eat it,

leave it alone. We need to get.

Mount up.

Captain...

Maybe we should check the house, sir.

It came this way.

Johnson and I can check the area

and catch up with you later.

All right.

But I want you back with us

before sundown.

Move it out, men.

We've wasted enough time on this.

-What's this all about?

-Here, look at this.

-Is that gold?

-Uh-huh.

-Where did you find it?

-Get off me.

Right here.

Must have dropped it.

All right...

...come along.

-Johnson?

-What?

Here's another one.

-Another one?

-Uh-huh.

Damn, he was ugly.
