POLICE STATION BUSHWIND TOWN 11:00AM As I stare away blankly at my case file, not concentrating on the words Infront of me, as I slowly flip the pages continuously not paying attention to the words, my thoughts are disturbed by an unknown voice. “Detective Farkas” I turn around the unknown man stares at me with the wildest smile on his face like a kid in a candy shop. “They didn’t tell me my partner was going to be female and... hot” he says with the same smile lingered on his face. “Detective Marcus Reynolds pleasure to meet you” I say with a straight face stretching my arm out waiting for him to shake it. “Pleasure is all mine” Reynolds says accepting my handshake rubbing it and placing a kiss on it which causes me to let out a chuckle. “Are we going to work or are you going to flirt with me all day” I say to him facing away from him and facing the case file”. “A serious lady...I like it” he says with a smile.

ROSE’S HOUSE BUSHWIND TOWN 8.30AM Awoken by the sweet smell of pancakes and eggs and erotic behaviour blasted across the whole house, knowing this could only be coming from her aunty Rose. You may ask why this is her favourite song? Same question I have had over the last 3 years since she discovered this song. Slowly walking down, the stairs brought a smile across my face knowing that even if everything may be falling apart in my life at least have my aunty Rose and my cousin Sophia here.

GABRIEL AND ASHINA HOUSE BUSHWIND TOWN 17:00pm Completely in shock and confusion Ashina looks into the eyes of the only man she cared to believe her truth “Gabriel” Ashina said barely above a whisper, looking into his eyes searching for some sort of comfort ignoring the silent room which looked at the lifeless body of Micheal in terror “Gabriel, you must believe me...please” finally finding her voice to speak up Gabriel barley looking into the eyes of his luna, looking at her weak body on her the floor begging him to hold her and tell her everything will be fine “Shawn take her to the forest” Gabriel commands still refusing to look at his wife, only hearing her weeping out for mercy The next 10 minutes felt like eternity for Ashina as she’s dragged into the forest, waiting for fate to come and rescue her, dragged across the floor making her feel powerless among men that considered her their luna “I will deal with this, you can go” Shawn commands the other tw

ROSE’S HOUSE ELITA’S ROOF BUSHWIND TIWN Sitting on the roof is something I have never thought of doing but for someone reason it brings some sense of peace that I never thought existed. Also sitting here with Dame felt weirdly comforting, I don’t what it is, but his presence always feels familiar like I've known him my whole life, will I admit that to him? not in this lifetime. “Nature is one of my favourite things” Dame says cutting the silence and looking blankly into natures eyes. “Yeah” I say diverting my attention to him hoping for a welcoming response with his eyes, but he continues looking directly infront with so much concentration like it's an exam, so deep in thought. “So how do you know Marcus, he doesn’t seem like your biggest fan” I say which finally catches his attention, Dame stares at me for a couple seconds before turning his attention back to nature “Let's just say we have never seen eye to eye, we went to the same high school, we were both in the same fo
