Sheriff Hardin remained quiet as he tried to process how she just told him she lost both children; he couldn’t imagine himself losing Dylan. He would lose his shit if anything ever happens to his only child.“I am really sorry about your loss Celine….i just wish it didn’t have to be like this most especially for you” Sheriff Hardin said in the most sympathetic way possible, she gave a little nod along with a faint smile before sipping from her mug.“It’s fine seriously Sheriff, I just want to get past it” she shrugged casually but you could hear the pain hiding behind her voice“ But do you believe the possibility or that gut feeling that your son might still be alive?” Sheriff Hardin sucked in his bottom lip; he knew where he was approaching with that question.He knows Henry is alive because he had seen him, he matched both pictures. The missing posters/ files and the documents Joan brought to his office. He was hell of certain that it was Henry.“I don’t know Sheriff, to be honest…
He was staring at her as she walked in and she avoided any accidental eye contact as much as possible till she got in. she wanted to get a couple of painkillers and maybe energy drink, she opened the door and she was greeted with the smell of fresh pastries and “I wanna be yours” by Arctic monkey was playing in the back ground.Harley was very well familiar with the convenience store, she and Danica used to rush down here to grab a late night snack and laugh while they chase each other down the empty road at night. They did so much together, and had so many memories.She remembered how Madam Xian, the local Korean woman who owns the convenience store would set up a spot for them in the store so she could give them her home made dumplings. Xian had to move to Korea for the mean time to spend some time in her home country, so now the store is being run by some American jerk her son placed there to watch over the place.Not that he was doing badly; he just had some pretty nasty and ac
“What is it? What is going on?” Harley started to panic as she noticed Henry’s troubled state as he kept looking around in the dark while his hands encircled her wrists in an attempt to run out with her “We are in danger but i….” He paused when they heard dropping sounds, like things were dropping from their shelves. Henry pushed Harley behind him; he immediately shielded his eyes to the flashlight shone on him by the cashier “What in the world was that?” The Cashier named Gary left his position to try and flip the light switch but the light wasn’t coming on. He sighed and started walking over to where the shelves dropped “Um sir I don’t think that is a brilliant idea” Henry tried to warn him “Shut your mouth, this is my store” He shunned Henry, “Dorky teenagers thinking they can tell you what to do..” he murmured as he was fully away from their sight and the only thing they could see was his flashlight reflecting from another section of the store. Henry gave Harley a quick glance
************Joan was sitting in front of her dressing mirror as she was wiping her face with a face cleanser and a bottle of face ointment in her hand. Grey was sitting on one side of the bed, stylishly stealing glances at Joan and playing nervously with his fingers.He soon sprung up and started pacing across the room; he paused and stole another glance at Joan again. Joan who already knew he was doing this turned on her seat to face him where he stood and so they could look each other in the eye.He glanced at her again and her eyes caught his this time, he smiled nervously“You just look…um beautiful” he blurted dumbly, hoping that would stop her from suspecting something was definitely wrong.“Oh I guess you’re just noticing I was beautiful… did you tell the other woman you were screwing too?” Joan replied sarcastically with a small grin, she turned swiftly to face the dressing mirror again and she continued with her face routine.“i… I thought we were past this” Grey said,
*******************Sheriff Hardin was gulping down a bottle of cold beer as he seemed to be getting himself entertained by what was happening on the television, except he wasn’t.The documents Joan brought him was scattered across his table and he just wanted a break from it, nothing was making any sense. He hasn’t had any breakthrough with the case, he even left work early since Perry was working the night shift today.He needed a break, he felt like he could run away from all the drama. But then a part of him also feels like the answer is somewhere and he just needs to put his hands on it.Maybe a confession, much clearer evidence, a crime scene or something that would just open the veil on the case so he could see what he was missingThe clock struck twelve and he sighed, it was time for bed. He had exhausted his brain and he still needed to go to work in the morning. Sometimes there are some things he feels that even a cup of coffee each morning can’t fix.He picked up the
Harley was pretty shaken up about last night’s incident; she got up from bed and stood in front of her bathroom mirror. Images of that creature, whatever it was just kept flashing through her mind. Why couldn’t she fight back? Why wasn’t she able to defend herself?If Henry hadn’t busted out of those piles of wood, was that how she was going to die too? Like Danica, unable to fight for her life. She was supposed to stay alive. If not for herself but for her momThough new things keep coming up, there is a lot on ground. How was she going to be able to handle them all? She opened the tap and poured the water on her face.She heard something new yesterday night after Officer Perry had dropped her off at home, something that just justifies everything she had been suspecting.After she freshened up and dressed, she rushed downstairs. She could already smell her mom’s pancakes; it was like a tradition for her mom to make them every Saturday. Then she and Danica would race down the stai
******************* Sheriff Hardin had gone to the station and he took Careen with him so he could try to get her statement about what could have possibly happened to her last night. Dylan was the only one left at home, he was sitting in front of his laptop and making search about mythical creatures and werewolves. He wanted to know about their characteristics, he wanted to be sure if there aren’t any creatures in black hills aside from werewolves and well snakes. He couldn’t help but feel that something was off about careen last night. Why did she seem surprised when she heard the word werewolf? Why was she covered in blood and why was she naked. The papers from his printer kept flying out as he printed multiple files off Wikipedia and other websites. His window soon slid open by itself and he turned sharply with a faint gasp, he stood up from his chair and grabbed the baseball bat resting by the corner of his wardrobe. He doesn’t play baseball but his dad used to, he started wal
“It also says here that every qareen needs a master, and the weakness is its heart. The master is the one who controls it by caging the heart” Henry read“Now who is the master? And what was Qareen sent to do?” Dylan asked “I got to call my dad” he quickly brought his phone from his pocket “Where did you say your dad was going again?” Henry asked as he stared unbelievable at the paper “The station but he’ll probably stop at the 7/11 store or whatever you called it” Dylan kept the phone on his ear, the phone kept ringing but his dad wasn’t picking up.In a flash Henry jumped out of the room through the window, “where are you going?” Dylan rushed towards the window but Henry was already gone“Shit!” he cussed and placed the phone back on his ear“I need to get to my dad before she kills him” he swiped his car key off the table and dashed out of the houseCareen wouldn’t think that she’d be figured out so soon, but little did she know that even if Dylan has no super powers or we
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
