[6] End it here. It's a dead end.

You talk and have breakfast with Delilah. There's a weird sense of being lost now - almost like you've completed a book that you didn't want to finish. What do you do now? Where do you go now? The rest of your stay at Tiny's Tavern differs from all the other places you've been to before. It feels less personal and more involved. Miranda, Delilah, Maple - you always found time to routinely talk to them, even for only a few minutes to check how they were doing.

You continued doing bounties and contracts locally, never really willing to go too far from the tavern. The pay was poor and the tasks were simple. It got worse and winter came settled in. It snowed everyday. It was cold everyday. But the company was nice and your new friends were always entertaining. When it was finally late spring, you decided it was time to go and regain your loses. Leaving...Didn't feel right to you, but you did anyway, telling them that you'd return.

3 years pass before you can manage to hitch another ride up to the town they were in. It was early spring, the bitter cold still lingered here this far North, but you were able to get there with a pretty large group of people. Unfortunately, when you arrived, you found the Tiny's Tavern, along with the rest of the little town, was nothing more than an empty husk of what you remembered. The caravan you hitched with didn't seem too surprised. When you asked what happened to everyone here to the others, they gave a few confused looks.

"It's been been abandoned since last year," one of the hired guards said. "All the details are blurry - being in an isolated pocket in Montana, but seemed like a cult of some kind came one day and took everyone into the mountains."

"Why haven't I heard about this??"

They shrug. "Stuff like this happens all the time. Someone else will come and make a new town more than likely...They won't be able to keep it protected though."

The caravan stops, allowing the others to rest and you to explore. You're at the steps of Tiny's Tavern. The bar is empty but nothing is broken and all the chairs and tables are still here. You check the rooms, finding everything in perfect order. Dusty! But perfect order. Delilah's cottage is the same, where you had last spoken to her. Her bedroom clean - her clothes are there too, but no signs of **** or invasion. Feeling defeated, you don't know what else to do other than to stay with the caravan is continue north...

...What happened here? You'll never know.

[Ending #6 UNSOLVED MYSTERY] Bad Ending

Hey there. Thank you so much for reading this finishing this path. This was an original story line that came from the Original BOT, just like the original story line, it wasn't sexual. With that said, it doesn't have to end here. This was heavily inspired by the short story series from a friend of mine called "A Pause in Horror". He practices this genre much more often than I do. So, if you're like me who enjoys stuff like this, I highly recommend it!

If you don't want to do that, consider joining my Discord page or following my Twitter, where I post random things every so often. If you want more story line things, feel free to check my Wattpad too.
