The police still unsuccessfully tried to
discover how the killer had drained the victims of water and
energy, and there was a suggestion a scientist was thought be
involved or the technology of one had been used. Yet Bryson never
believed anything to do with any scientists was involved, and he
knew that the thing doing it did not really need what it was taking
from them – unless it was some form of vampire.

He believed it was using the best way it
could to kill them, and silently and quickly!

The rooms that most of the victims had been
found in left them wondering why they had been there working
alone!

Most of them still felt safe in the
inhabited regions of the castle!

He could not get why no sounds seemed to be
heard from the attacks? Why the deaths had not been heard? And he
knew that the castle and its thick stones and strange formation
could alter sounds – making silent sounds travel further at some
places and stop even the loudest sounds being heard at some nearby
places!

The police seemed to have secrets concerning
the alien killer that they had killed in the wood and many of them
thought there were more – and that they clearly had the technology
to carry out the deaths. They had built the tunnels there!

Why kill them though? The alien in the wood
had done it to survive and not get caught! The only logical reason,
other than it liked it, was that it was determined to destroy them
or scare them away from the castle!

 

Chapter 23

 

The Military

 

Bryson was amazed when he entered the psychic
researcher’s room, at the tunnel with the vortex, where the
scientists were still setting up equipment around the wall where
the vortex was behind, and that their equipment had gone beyond
anything that he had seen, which was immense and powerful, and the
power supply there had been increased immensely to it with large
cables being fed into there from massive generators.

He had not even been able to get near Merton
and Mortimer, who now were just advisors on things! They had so
much work that they had not slept in a long time!

The military scientists there had full
control of the situation, and they clearly knew the equipment far
greater than any of them.

The military’s mission there seemed to be a
death or glory scenario. He was sure that they really wanted
answers to what was there – and not to free the castle from what
was there – and get any new technology or advancements there were a
far greater achievement. Their interest in the aliens there was
tremendous and far more than he had thought! They were checking out
all the tunnels there and the alien that the police had killed, and
where he had been staying and everything about him.

They had seen the story all over the media
and had decided in sending in more people to investigate. Yet there
was still much confusion on what was happening there and what was
there, and they could only really investigate things as far he was
concerned.

Some high-ranking officers had arrived and
were being escorted around places by Mitchell, which Bryson gave
occasional gasps at, thinking of what was killing people there.
There had been two more deaths, unseen and unsolved again, and
three sightings of other things of paranormal that resembled
ghosts. The disturbances were clearly increasing and Bryson and the
other scientists were working away to solve the situation, and find
a solution, and he had been surprised that the treasure there was
being forgotten, for the moment anyway.

Bryson was amazed when Merton and Mortimer
handed him a military report and other documents, which they
insisted he saw, perhaps to give his opinion on.

Documents told of investigations there going
back to the start of the last century, before Pendleton and his
friends had arrived there, and of police investigations that had
told of paranormal disturbances, and why they and the military had
left the place, and gave major investigations in the sixties that
had ended with all the scientists there being killed and their
bodies being found later, and that they had fenced the entire
region off, and not allowed anyone near there, and that it had been
left for people of the future to investigate someday with proper
technology and ways of investigating and handling what existed
there.

Again Bryson realized that all the
scientists there were in danger, and that he would be lucky to get
away from there alive!

Bryson knew there was far more behind
Mitchell and the military being there, and he left things there. He
wondered again what Mitchell would have put in his report about his
entering the tunnel and going through the vortex.

In the end the paranormal scientists had
decided against going near or in the direct path of the alien if
they were able to detect where it was, which was what they were
attempting to do, and to locate the vortex and everything with it
in other dimensions, and find out what was there and build up an
illustration of it and what they were dealing with.

The problem was getting their
equipment to work as their attempts had so far failed
there
, and the stuff had never been
fully and properly tested as not very many things existed in other
dimensions.

If anything attacked them they had a
procedure to escape from there, which Bryson thought was all they
could do at the moment!

He wondered if it would turn predictable,
since it could beat their weapons and had killed large amounts of
soldiers, and mainly intended to wipe everyone out and scare the
living daylights out of them.

All the paranormal scientists had recently
had consultations with all the other scientists and the military
and they now entirely left their minds open to what was there and
would happen.

Bryson was surprised that when one of the
scientists started cheerfully calling them over to a computer
screen and showed a blurred view of the vortex in the tunnel, which
Bryson was sure was of the vortex in another dimension as it was
normally invisible and he had only seen it when he had entered it
in an altered state in another dimension.


This is entirely
new!

Mortimer stated, considering it from various perspectives,
and he watched it as if he had been waiting all his life to see
what was there, and gasped slightly.


What do you make of
it?

Mitchell asked, walking over to them.

We so far have had nothing
properly put forward on what its identity is?


How about calling it a vortex?”
Bryson stated, realizing that Mitchell had entered the vortex
too.


You’re right! It can be called some
form of vortex!”


Well, it’s a start!” Mortimer
continued. “The visible part of the vortex has been detected in
another dimension! We should be able search what else is there. For
instance what is causing the vortex to exist, and what it really
is? Maybe even places it leads to!”

They were
there to investigate what other scientists had not and to do it to
a greater degree every time and Bryson was positive by their
reactions that they had never had their day yet and they now never
considered that they might never come upon anything, and achieve
their goal, and that it would not be left for the people who
followed them someday to find and get marked in the history books
for.

If only they
could find something there that had gone undetected by everyone
else, with their detection methods and equipment being
improved!

He gasped when
he considered what they could come up with if they had something
that really worked – as they had advanced far further than he had
even imagined, and the place was packed solid with ever form of
equipment possible and it went beyond his imagination what they
might do.

It was like an
experiment to Merton and Mortimer to see what would happen if they
pushed beyond the boundaries of natural science, and out into the
supernatural.

The dark sky
of the place through the room widow now showed him the abyss of
billions of light years of space, and the dangers of their
exploration, and he considered if they would find anything if they
used the equipment at night.

 

Chapter 24

 

The Interdimensional
Surveillance

 

Once they had
moved all the equipment that they needed over to a room at the
second tunnel the other scientists joined them, and Mitchell
arrived, and stood wondering, looking slightly annoyed and watching
the equipment.

The scientists
decided to check the second tunnel at the same time as the other
tunnel with their improved outer dimensional scan, to see if they
were connected to each as the majority of the scientists believed,
which Bryson also wanted to find out.

It was morning
and the scientists had increased the power of the dimensional scan
and had started exploring the other tunnel.

Bryson sensed
that there was something that they were not saying, but he knew he
would only needed to wait for them to tell what it was as they were
in danger and needed to give all the information that they could,
to survive there.

While he
considered what could happen next the scientists started examining
the information on their screens on the equipment, and he wondered
if the stuff worked anything like the stuff for detecting
neutrinos, and he considered what it did.


It’s
found something new!” Merton announced, updating Mitchell and the
other scientists on what they had found. “I’ve not seen anything
like it! It is unknown and looks like it has
intelligence!”


An
entity/life form that exists in there,” Mitchell announced,
examining the wall, where the tunnel was behind. “What’s it like?
Is it that thing that’s killing everyone here?”


We do
not know if it is a life form – or what it is – but it exists in
many other dimensions!”

Bryson was
fascinated and realized that it was what had tried to make contact
with him, and surely had made William appear.

All the
scientists were fascinated and confused at what they were going to
end up with – another incredible find or disaster!


Well,
what will we do now?” Mitchell enquired. “Do you make contact with
it?”


It
might have made some form of contact with us already!” Bryson
announced.


When
did that happen?”


William! His appearance occurred after I entered this
tunnel, where I was sure something was trying to make
contact!”


William
does not know what he is or is doing? But according the other
scientists document on him he had to have been put here to check us
out ...”


But he
would have to be doing it without knowing it ... As he would have
said or we would have noticed him checking things. He also ignored
many things – and sources of information put near him that would
have been of interest!”


Perhaps
it is both!” Merton replied. “It was put there to make contact and
check you! It might have underestimated and thought we were
something different and had not understood what William was and
capable of! There are suggestions in the all the accounts of it in
the past from its first appearance on this world that it never
fully knew what it was doing. It is surely far different and not
from this universe in other dimensions and is mentioned as arriving
here to check out the other the thing at the other castle, which
it’s mentioned in trying to make contact with. It could very well
be designed to make contact, but damaged itself!”


That’s
the best and most explained solution that I’ve heard since I heard
of this whole affair!” Mitchell replied, thanking him.

Bryson was
surprised and decided to keep it as what Merton suggested until
anything else appeared.

Like some phenomenon occurred the
instruments scanning the alien showed it in outer dimensions with
incredible levels of energy, and all the scientists studied the
recordings that they gave them fascinated.


So this thing really exists and is in
other dimensions!

Mitchell announced, taking out his
communicator to call the military control center of it and all the
other findings.

Bryson noticed some form of powerful
magnetic influence from it being registered on some of the
equipment, and realized that it had confused them, and that he
would get answers on it later.


What could create such
power?

Mitchell asked, observing them understanding the information
more.


This thing is tremendous!” Merton
stated. “I can now see why they could not destroy it. The majority
of it is in the other dimensions – and it is not made of normal
matter. It is made of energy to us – but it is far more in its own
dimensions.


What do think it
wants?

Mitchell asked.


That I am not sure
of!


Could it just be
evil?

Mitchell asked, trying to see if they thought of it as the
paranormal entity that it looked like. “And if it’s not what is
killing everyone here for?”


I cannot fully answer that! But I
think at one point when it arrived at the castle it had to defend
itself and created things to defend it – and it did not fully know
what it was creating or was up against – as with William, and it
does not fully know what it or William is doing here – if it even
knows about it at all – as I believe it is not fully conscious!
There are mention of it and other things altering and going
dormant. It must have been damaged or its energy source grows weak,
or both? It surely has not seen anything like us! That can be
proven by its original behavior and it trying to adapt itself to
here. I think it still tries to learn and collect information
though!
