“I’ll make it home in time” she answered softly as she looked away.“Alright everyone, let’s move. Light your candles!” Bonnie and another brunette beside her yelled as everyone started rushing out of the hallway“Harley!” Roman shook her“Roman let me go! Leave me alone and go!” she tried removing his hand from her arm but she has a strong grip.Roman looked back and noticed the two men approaching them as people were rushing out of the hallway with their candles in hand.“Gosh, I’ve heard enough of your whining. Sorry Harley” He grabbed her by the wrist and started dashing towards the exit as students were passing through the entrance, dragging Harley involuntarily.He kept looking back and this time the men were running after them too, “Let me go!” Harley jerked his hands off hers in annoyance.“I am not leaving till I light this candle for my sister and that’s it!” she yelled before running away from him“Harley wait!” Roman tried to run after her but stopped abruptly, trying to c
She blew out her candle and immediately brought out her phone from her back pocket so she could use the screen as a mirror, and what she saw made her flinch.Two canines were trying to force their way out of her gum, she looked up at the moon and it was at that moment that she knew had fucked up.“Shit” she cussed before maneuvering her way through the little crowd with haste; she dashed towards the hallway entrance and hurriedly flung the door open.It was empty which was good for her, her eyes started flashing blue and talons forced their way from her fingers. She was supposed to be getting more agile and clouded by animal instinct but instead she was getting weaker, she hid her hands into the pocket of the hoodie she wore and tried to drag herself into the Girl’s bathroom.On getting to the door her legs betrayed her and she crashed on her feet, her heart was slowing down as she started breathing in a shallow manner.She was covered in sweat and her body temperature was through th
“Shit what have I done?” He whispered to himself, just then Roman jerked up and started coughing violently till he too vomited something black with seed like contents in it.“Oh thank God buddy, thought I lost you” Lucas exhaled deeply before crashing on his ass beside RomanHarley took sat down exhausted on the ground, all three of them were gazing at the moon. Somehow Roman and Harley escaped whatever the danger the moon would make them do to people.“What the fuck happened?” Roman asked, in a matter of seconds they started hearing screams followed by multiples gunshots.“It’s a freaking snake!” A man yelled, three of them took quick glances at each other before jerking up on their feet“Sophie” They said simultaneously***************************************The next morning, Roman woke up on the chaise lounge in one corner of the living room. He groaned as he opened his eyes and his pupils tried to adjust to the ray of sunlight penetrating from the window.He got up from the loung
“what cure? I don’t understand, why are you talking in clues Lucas?” Roman was starting to get frustrated“You were poisoned and so I gave you guys the cure” Lucas dropped his glass on the table“Poisoned” Harley arched a brow, “By who?”“You heard your dad say it yesterday, didn’t you?” Lucas added“My dad, He was with you? How and why but mostly how did you come across each other?” Roman sounded so confused, he hadn’t seen his dad since he escaped Bernard so how come Lucas saw him and he didn’t?“I don’t know but your legs were caught in a trap and he freed you, he also tried to gun down Bernard’s men that wanted to take and eventually we both did. But he was quick to know you were poisoned, I guess a hunter would always be a hunter” Lucas shrugged“My dad tried to save me? My own dad” Roman looked taken aback, he knows what his dad can do and from what his dad did to him he didn’t think there was any humanity or fatherly love left in him.“He didn’t try to catch me and hand me down
“Yeah well I wasn’t planning to but I just need to be away from home, and in as much as you’re part of the people I want to be away from I just feel I’m safer here” Joan said dryly, hating that she had to admit that to him. He lied to her, he knew something she had every right to know and he still kept it from her.“You’re welcome here anytime, my son just left for school and I’m leaving for work now so just feel at home” He tried to sound accommodating but she wasn’t buying it“Why didn’t you tell me Hardin?” she asked and he looked dumbfounded, he didn’t know what to say because he was wrong about not telling her and if he could do anything to reverse it then he would.“Why didn’t you tell me Grey cheated? Were you supporting him”” Her voice sounded shaky like she was trying to hold back her tears“I really wanted to tell you I swear, but I just couldn’t afford to wreck your happy home. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if the two of you separated because I refused to mind my b
“Hardin is a very private man; he really knows how to keep his things. I don’t even know where to start looking but I can try” Joan said, she doubted if she could dig up anything on him. Since he knows she’s on to him he might even want to keep his stuff more.“Just do your best Joan and I know that you can do it, don’t be scared? He can’t do anything to you” He assured her and she nodded“Now I need to get to work, but I’ll be checking in from time to time” He got up and grabbed his duty belt off the table and put it onHe was already walking towards the door when his phone started ringing“Hello, Sheriff Hardin speaking” He said as he picked the call“Hardin please, please come help me. He’s going to kill me!” The female voice on the other ended screamed into the phone“Shannon?”********************************Nimueh was in a small cave inside the black hill cemetery, a long table was in front of her with bowls and ritualistic elements.Ever since she lost her powers and was left
**********************************Sheriff Hardin drove at immense speed on the road with another police car following him behind, in it was Officer Perry.After he had gotten that panic call from Shannon he had to leave Joan and dash out of the house, calling Officer Perry for back up while getting into his car. Shannon seemed like she was in a lot of trouble, she was crying and her voice was trembling on the phone.Hardin could hear breaking and crashing sounds in the background, he didn’t want to assume what he initially thought was happening and if it is then someone is definitely going to jail today.The first time she called and he heard her voice, the call dropped. He knew at that moment something was wrong but there wouldn’t be enough time to track her location. He called back and asked for the address, she was giving it to him and he picked up a man’s raging voice in the background. It was definitely her husband.He finally arrived at the house and he parked immediately after
Sophie couldn’t seem to remember anything that happened to her the night of the full moon, Roman figured that the memories might come later and they shouldn’t rush her, most importantly she had to go home because her mom would have been worried sick.Harley helped her wash up, it was the first time Sophie had let someone who wasn’t her girlfriend see her nakedness. She was actually the one who instigated that Harley help her wash up, she doesn’t want her mom to have any suspicions especially the scales on the left side of her face.But surprisingly the scales disappeared few minutes after she woke up, and she headed home. Harley too also needed to get home; she had missed her mom even though the family is pretty much on edge. She doesn’t inhaling the smell of home again even though home was now an atmosphere with toxic and negative energy.Lucas was sitting in his room trying to get himself drunk even though it would never happen while Roman decided to take a quick stroll to clear hi
Before Sheriff Hardin left the hospital he stopped by to see Shannon, there was really no one Darien could stay with since his mother was still comatose. Sheriff Hardin didn’t want Darien to stay with because he wasn’t always available and neither was Dylan. And with everything going on, anything could happen and he didn’t want to get little Darien involved so he sent him off to Shannon’s mother. Shannon didn’t have a good relationship with her mother but her mother wouldn’t say no to her grandchildren. Sheriff Hardin stood by the entrance of the door and watched Shannon still unconscious in bed. At that moment he had wished he had magical powers or a genie he could call on to save her life. He had never thought he’d be this desperate to want her back. The shy truth was that he still loved her but her betrayal still didn’t sit right with him and he couldn’t trust that she won’t just run off again if they get back together. He slowly closed the room door and walked out of the hospi
Like magic Maddy slowly started placing the heart back in her chest and she felt this pain overwhelm her, she was groaning and writhing in pain.Maddy didn’t like the scenario so she had to avert her eyes, the heart didn’t go in immediately. The heart had been cut out from its spot so long that her scar was already closed completely, because it was opening up to the heart that’s why she was in so much pain.Finally the heart entered and Caroline felt this relief wash all over her, Caroline and Maddy first looked at each other before hugging.“We did it, now…” Maddy paused when her sharp ears picked up gunshots from a distance.“Caroline run now, we need to get out of here” she pushed Caroline away from the burnt piles before grabbing her hand and running back towards the woods.“What is going on? Maddy what did you hear?” Caroline asked curiously“I heard gun shots. It’s not safe here we need to leave” Maddy dragged Caroline further“It could be the police or the sheriff, it do
“If he needed Roman’s blood and couldn’t get it but he saw Roman’s baby who had a ton of his blood in him, you think he lost?” “The bastard improvised” Lucas mouthed “And now it’s killing my daughter, it’s killing Harley” Joan shook her head “We need to do something” Lucas looked around the room “What do you expect us to do? There is nothing we can do at this point” Roman countered “There is only one solution here” Lucas stated, he didn’t say more but they understood immediately “Don’t tell me it’s what you are thinking, No!” Joan sprung up immediately “We can’t do that” Sheriff Hardin mouthed “we can’t kill a child Lucas” “Oh so you want to wait till it kills us then huh?” Lucas scoffed “That is not a freaking baby! She didn’t give birth to an innocent fragile baby, she gave birth to a monster and the sooner you all need to understand that the better!” “Please…don’t hurt my baby” Harley sniffled “That isn’t your baby Harley, your baby is gone. What was supposed to be the bo
***************************** Henry hadn’t been available for the current drama the rest of the group was in, he didn’t know anything about Harley being in labor. No one had told him anything, but it was pretty much clear to them a week ago that he didn’t want any more issues to deal with. It was either that or they just hadn’t found the time to tell him. Henry had other things to deal with; he was slowly losing his powers. He was now at the lowest rank, the omega. If he wasn’t careful he was going to lose it completely, he had to think fast. He wasn’t a genetic werewolf but if the laws of werewolves still apply to him and it’s correct then he had to steal someone else’s. Henry walked into Legion’s home; Legion was slowly dying, without the powers he stole from Nimueh, he was nothing. He was just a thief and nothing more, “I see you’ve gone into early retirement” Henry scoffed as he stood in front of where Legion sat by the window in his house. “What do you want Henry?” Legion a
“I can’t leave her, I’m just saying that Nimueh might not help us” Roman moved closer to Lucas “Why don’t we just there first and see what chances we have” Lucas suggested “Alright then, but won’t legion feel betrayed? The last thing I need is having a vengeful ex alpha on our backs thinking we connived with his ex lover to kill him” “Whichever way this story goes, we would figure it out one way or another. But right now we don’t have time, let’s go!” Back inside the building, Joan was still pacing around and whispering prayers. Sheriff Hardin and Grey leaned on different parts of the wall while Maddy just sat still on the waiting bench. The doctor finally came out with a nurse, he removed his bloody gloves and dropped it in the trash… ..He was sanitizing his hands when Joan rushed toward him. “Doctor, where is my daughter? How is she, and the baby?” Joan bombarded him with questions “Are you Mrs. Brian?” The doctor asked “Yes I am, I’m her mother. How is she?” Joan pressed fur
“Harley we didn’t say we wouldn’t help her, I simply told her to give us tonight off and we would find help in the morning” Roman defended “What if it’s too late by then? And whatever it is had taken over her completely. Then what?” Harley shrugged casually as she stared intently at Roman, hoping he had some come back but he didn’t. “That’s what I thought” she mouthed and walked away. “Women are getting less easy to talk to” Lucas scoffed “I’ll go after her” Roman said and walked out of the field “We can’t just have normal people problems, can we?” Lucas exhaled ***************** One week later The town was suddenly different than it was before, it was like the town was lighter and like this veil was lifted off the town. They could even say that the sun shone brighter or differently. Grey and Joan were slowly trying to work through their issues but Joan wasn’t having it. She didn’t trust Grey anymore; neither did she think she loved him anymore. Joan felt that once a cheater
“Didn’t Haynes technologies burn down a while back?” A man got up to ask “Indeed it did, but he secretly had another one which we found out recently and raided.” Sheriff Hardin said, Officer Perry changed the slide to a picture of the recently burnt Haynes facility “Yes! I know this is hard to believe but he was the one kidnapping innocent teenagers and taking their lives away. He would use them for his devil work, put them through torture and traumatize their minds” “I have people who used to be victims but are now survivors….” He paused and gestured for Harley, Roman, Lucas, Maddy, Henry and Caroline to come out. Harley was nervous at first but Roman held her hand, “Henry here is a student of black hills high school, he went missing two years ago and when he got back. I chose to find out for myself what could have happened to him, I found out that he escaped from the hands of this man right here” Sheriff Hardin brought Henry up to the podium with him “Same goes with Lucas, Roman
Roman reached for her hands and caressed them softly, she looked into his eyes and she saw certainty, hope and a lot of love. She knew that he was sure about everything he says to her and without a doubt she believes him. Maybe she had been too scared to give him her all before but now she was ready to love him, to do anything just to keep them together. “I want us to work out Roman, and I’m not saying this because of the baby between us. I’m telling you this because I love you Roman st. Laurent” Harley confessed, Roman’s eyes beamed with excitement. That was the first time she was saying something like that to him, it made him happy. “Do you mean that Harley?” He asked“With everything in me” she responded and he let out a soft smile before pulling her into a quick hug. “Come, let’s go meet the others” Roman held her hand as they walked back to the rest of the group, they were exhausted and leaning against anything they could find with their eyes partly closed. “Hey, um guys….an
“Giving up so…..” a bullet entered his chest and he fell to the ground, Roman quickly picked the gun and tossed it to Sheriff Hardin. They all turned to see who had fired the shot behind Sheriff Hardin. “Who should be scared now?” Joan gritted as she walked towards Bernard slowly with the gun still pointed at him “This is for Danica” she fired a shot into his right shoulder “This is for the pain you caused me” she fired another one to the left shoulder “This is for taking the last daughter I have” she shot him again in the ankle and he yelled “And this is for everyone you took and made their lives hell” she fired another one to his chest and he was knocked out completely Joan turned slowly to face them and Lucas was stunned, “that was badass” he chuckled “You guys leave, I have one last thing to do” She said, Roman nodded before helping Lucas out “Joan don’t tell me you’re having crazy ideas” Sheriff Hardin asked as he moved close to her “I don’t know what you mean, but if yo
