Part 1

"Do you hear it?, The call of the waves, the howl of the wind?" Asked one fisherman to another

"Of course I hear it… Everyday I do."

"What shall we do with it then?, Not many people know of the call…"

"We show them the power then." A devious grin formed on the mans face.

A knock on the door woke Jacob from his deep sleep, He had this same dream for a few days now. As he got up the knocking grew louder, As he approached the door it stopped. A shadowy figure was on the other side of the glass. As he reached for the knob a voice called out.

"Mr. Jacob I know your in there, Please open the door, This is important."

As Jacob opened the door the unknown man sighed with relief, Jacob gestured the man in.

The man was wearing a suit and tie, He was balding, most likely around the age of 50 or 60.

"Finally, I've been knocking for the past half an hour, I have a job for you. I know what position your in, this might be a big breakthrough for you."

Jacob was a private detective, Mainly working on occult cases and paranormal beings, He hasn't had a call in months.

"What is the job, Where am I heading?" Asked Jacob

"Black water, There is said to be a occult presence there that is disrupting everyone's sleep and corrupting their minds." Said the man.

Jacob grab's the file from the man and reads through it. It mentioned a warehouse numbered 36. His eyes widen with excitement.

"I knew I wasn't crazy…" He said quietly to himself.

"I have another piece of evidence you might find shocking, Its a picture, Some sort of being from another realm, No one I took it to would accept this job." the unknown man said

The man set the picture down, It showcased a man wearing robes on a cliff edge looking out over a sea of blood, The man in the picture had a symbol on his chest, It seemed to be glowing as tentacles sprouted from the mans back.

"Incredible…" Jacob said in astonishment.

Jacob reached for the painting…

"Careful" said the man, Stopping Jacob from touching it.

"while it is evidence, its still art"

Jacob went to his desk and leaned back onto it, His eyes shifted from the painting to the man.

"well, Ill take your case, I need one anyways." Said Jacob

The man started to leave, He reached the door and turned around.

"thank you Jacob, I wouldn't expect any less coming from a man in your situation."

The door closed, The sound of footsteps could be heard in the hall, But then, Silence struck… The room turned black and the floor turned to water. Jacob sunk down, as he looked up he saw something… Something big…


Part 2

Jacob awoke on the floor of his office, Breathing heavily… His nightmares have never happened when he was awake before, He turned and looked around, He noticed the painting…

"is this what caused it…" He said quietly

Jacob rummaged around his room, looking for a book on Black water, He found a map and a book about it, It was a tiny island off in the middle of the ocean, a fishing colony. Jacob grabbed his jacket and his pistol, He holstered the gun and headed to the docks.

A few days later

"Well, here we are, Black water." Said the boat driver

Jacob came from below deck and looked around, The salty smell of the ocean hit his nose hard. He saw the little island and the harbor master waiting for him on the dock. Jacobs couldn't believe his eyes, the town was small but there was a mansion up on the highest hill.

"wow… For a small colony that's a big house…" Said Jacob in astonishment.

As the boat docked and Jacob got off, The harbor master greeted him.

"Hello there, You must be?" Said the harbor master

"Jacob, I'm the private detective hired to find out what's wrong with this place" Jacob responded

They chatted for a few minutes before heading up the dock to the harbor masters office.

"I'm looking for warehouse 36, Can you help me?" Jacob asked.

"Its right over there" The harbor master pointed to a small building right in the center of the colony.

"Thanks"

Jacob started to walk to it, but stopped before making it half way, there was a angry mob in the streets protesting one of the police departments actions. Jacob had to find another way to it, so he wandered around for a few minutes before coming across a abandoned warehouse with a hatch in the floor. As he opened it the smell of chemicals leaked from it, stinging his noes.

He climbed down the hatch and into the underground tunnels, there where chemical bottles stored there, He found a second tunnel that lead through water and into a cave, As he waded through he noticed something, He took out his lighter and lit it, the light reflected off the walls and water, filling the dark with light. There were strange symbols on the walls, pictures of a strange god and creatures from the deep, He couldn't believe his eyes.

As he made it to the end of the cavern he found a ladder leading back to the surface, as he climbed it he reached the middle of the colony, right behind warehouse 36. He saw another ladder and walked over to it, He reached out and grabbed it, the rust grated against his hand. He decided to climb it, reaching the top of the warehouse where there was an open window. He crawled inside and jumped down onto the main floor, It looked like someone was living there for awhile.

As he explored the warehouse he found multiple clues that would help figure out what was wrong with this place, He found a bed, a ritual alter, and another painting, this time it showcased a mans face, half of which was turning into a squid like monster. he also found a door which he tried to open, it was locked.

He accidentally knocks over a old vase, it falls to the floor and breaks, Two cops outside doing their regular patrols hear the sound and decide to investigate, As they approach the front door and open it, Light fills the room.

"What are you doing in here?" Said the officer

Jacob looked around. "did you know about all of this?" he said inquisitively.

"No, we never opened this place…"

Jacob walked to the officer, showing his badge "Jacob pierce, private detective"

"Sadly that badge doesn't give you much power here Jacob" Said the officer

The officers walk him out of the building, Jacob still asking questions about the occult happenings on the island. They tell him and decide to take him to the mansion, the location of most of the occult happenings.

A half an hour later

As they arrive a tree falls, blocking the path and stopping the car in its tracks. Jacob and the officer decide to go on foot, walking the rest of the path to the mansion, As they make it up the grounds keeper stops them at the gate.

"what do you want?" Says the grounds keeper

"We are here to check the house" Says Billy, The officer

"Why? there is nothing going on up here"

"Jacob here needs to search the house of any occult findings"

Jacob steps forward and says "I'm a private detective hired to investigate Black water for any occult findings."

The grounds keeper steps back and starts to open the gate.

"alright, but i need to accompany you through the house" Says the grounds keeper

As the gate opens and they walk in, they notice the front door has been boarded up.

"what happened here?" Asked Jacob

"Well after the fire we decided to close the place down" Replied the grounds keeper

They approach the back off the house and the grounds keeper unlocks the back door and lets them in, As they enter the floor boards creek and groan as they walk across them, They then head to the main room, where the fire originally started, A painting was missing from the wall, the painting in the warehouse…

Jacob decided to move on and through a door that was blocked, as he moved the wood beams that were blocking the door and threw them aside.

"we aren't meant to be touching anything Jacob" Said the grounds keeper.

Jacob ignored the man and continued on into the hallway, As he proceeded down it a strange noise came from the storage room, He decided to go check it, As he entered he saw a man wearing robes and a hood, holding a book, He approached slowly but the man turned around and ran out, knocking Jacob to the ground, As Jacob got up and followed the man, he got lead to an office, it seemed to be a dead end. but he noticed something on the ground near the book shelf… Scuff marks, the sign of a possible hidden door…
