It was an old woman. She was lying helpless in the restroom. Detective White couldn’t help but wonder what the old woman was doing here? “Ma’am, are you alright? This is Detective White!” His Akdal Ghost TR01 was held firmly between his sweaty fingers. The light was still flickering that he could barely see. He was bold enough to enter the dark restroom to check on the old woman.

“Is anyone here with you?”

“Talk to me, ma’am!”

Obviously, Detective White arrived late. His gaze was drawn to the hole in the old woman’s left chest with her heart gone. “Fuck!” he exclaimed. He didn’t know what to do but was certain that the suspect is still in the building.

He steeled his failing nerves and breathed out a puff of cold air and sprang back to his feet and continued with his search. He noticed a weird movement behind him. He quickly flicked around steadying his Akdal Ghost TR01 and ready to pull the trigger but there was no one.

As he turned around to c

    The multiple gunshots continued as Detective White passed through the alley. He instinctively ducked behind a dumpster taking cover. From the dumpster, he peeped to see who his colleagues were shooting at. A bloodcurdling scream escaped from the shadowy alley behind him before he could get a response from his team after he radioed demanding to know what was happening. His heart raced inside him as beads of cold sweat streamed down his smooth cheeks. With his years of experience as a cop, he has never experienced such gunplay before. He needed to know who it was that screamed. He caught a glimpse of a corpse of a young lady wrapped in red clothes. Only her head and neck were exposed after being wrapped. At this time, he was lost and couldn’t make any sense of the situation at hand. He has seen an old woman dead with her heart gone. Now another corpse of a young lady amid multiple gunshots. Blood was coming out from her neck. From the look of thi

    It’s over 14 days after the incident at Bailey Avenue. Detective White has got his apartment back. Lucas seems happy having their apartment back. He might have gotten their apartment back but he lost his relationship with Jane. They are no longer on talking terms after Jane found out he had affairs with Bonnie. She would have easily dismissed the incident and forgiven him if she never used her ability to experience what happened in the inn. She felt cheated on. To her, Lucas’ heart belongs to Bonnie. If they made out in the inn and also in Bonnie’s apartment in New Orleans, then she’s never meant to be with Lucas. Lucas has been doing all he can to make peace with Jane.

    Without waiting for her to say a word, he pulled her to a corner. “Start talking, who told you that?” His mind began to go wild. Since he’s not in talking terms with Jane, it could have been her. Perhaps she just wants him to make more enemies by revealing his secrets. “Nobody told me.” “Then how in the hell did you know that?” “If you are curious to know, I will tell you, but…” “Oh come on no ‘but.’” “I will tell you after school.” “Oh come, why wait that long? You said my life depends on it.” “Yes, it does. That’s why you have to play by my rules.” “Fine then, after school it is.” “Yeah, after school, in your house.” “Why my…” Their conversation was interrupted by Jack as he approaches with Philip. “Well well well! Look who we have here?” Jack makes his way to Lucas. Standing face to face. Toe to toe with him as he stares at him with a stone face gaze. “I thought I warned you to stay away from my girl, didn’t I?” said Jack. “You know you can’t jus

    Lucas came home for the day with Alicia. He wasn’t comfortable bringing her home. He just didn’t want any trouble with Jack. He just wants to stay on his own. Because he was so determined to know how Alicia came to find out about his secret, he didn’t care much about what Jack will say or do. “So, here we are… Tell me how…” Before Lucas could finish speaking, Alicia pulls herself to him and kissed him. Lucas tried to make her stop but she pushed him to the couch. She joins him as well. Lying on him, he started kissing him again and at the same time rubbing his chest. “Stop, just stop!” Lucas pushes her away. He rose to his feet narrowing his eyes on her. “What are you trying to do?” “Can’t you see I haven’t forgotten about you? I still…” “Stop! All I see is a setup. What’s the catch?” “Forget it!” Alicia angrily rose to her feet and picks up her backpack. She glanced at Lucas and said: “Your hatred for me will get you killed. You will never know what’s coming.”

    Jane was devastated walking in on Lucas making out to someone they believe was his enemy. She couldn’t say a word as tears rolled down her cheek. She only came to inform Lucas that she has forgiven him only to see more reasons not to forgive him. She didn’t want Lucas to come any close to her. She left and slammed the door after her. “Oh no!” Lucas cried out in a disappointed tone falling back to the couch with both hands on his head. “What was that all about?” asked Alicia. With Alicia able to manifest a psychic ability, she could easily get information out from Lucas without asking. She chose not to. She just wants Lucas to be the one to tell her. Lucas glanced at Alicia. “It’s a long story,” he said. He made his way to the couch and threw himself on the couch. He covered his face in shame and at the same time felt remorse. He didn’t expect Jane to show up. He just got busted. Getting busted didn’t feel good. Alicia joins him on the couch. She sat at the e

    The night was chilly. The chilly night howled through the open window of Lucas’ room. Lucas was fast asleep. He was alone in the apartment as his father has gone hunting. After meeting with witch Eva, he had taken the hunting path to make sure his lovely city is safe again. He believes he could keep his city safe by hunting down the werewolves. Something about the neighborhood didn’t feel right that night. It was as if something was prowling the dark alleyways in search of some helpless prey. “Help me! Help me… Someone help me…” A desperate cry was followed by fisted knocks on the wooden front door of Lucas’ apartment. It was dark inside Lucas’ room and for a moment he thought he was having a series of dreams. “Help me!” There was no doubt now. It was the terrified cry of a man who sounded like he was nearly out of breath. Lucas quickly jumped off his bed. He could hear the man’s heartbeat with his enhanced hearing ability

    Lucas couldn’t control his wolf rage. He became aggressive that he knocked the lady off her feet. He was about to pounce on her to tear her limb by limb when suddenly they were an energy blast from nowhere. The energy blast blasted him away sending him across the dumpster.“Lydo, are you alright?” a voice asked. Lucas peeked from the dumpster. His gaze was drawn to a tall pale-looking man in a flowing black gown and red cape. The man drew closer to help the lady up to her feet. Lucas stood to his feet. He snarled and then growled at the man. He quickly conjured an energy blast and with haste, he fired it at the man knocking him off his feet. He does not have any idea of what he’s up against. He can’t hear the heartbeat of the strange man. He fixed his gaze on the man as he watches him slowly rise to his feet. With curiosity in his eyes, he asked: “Who are you?”“Wrong question,” roared the man with a flowing black gown and a red cape. He quickly fired

    SOMEWHERE UP TOWN The dominant footsteps that echoed against the concrete walls of an old building awakened Lucas. When he tried to move, he was restrained by chains. The dangling of the chain around his neck couldn’t let him move his head freely. Both hands were chained to a wooden chair. When he tried to move his feet, he was restrained by the shackles on his feet. He tried to get a clear look at the situation at hand but his eyes were still bleary. “Am I a dog that you chained me like one?” A steady and repeated laugh in a silly way followed suit immediately after the dominant footsteps seized. “Of course, you’re a dog… a bad doggy!” It was the voice of Lydo, the lady that Lucas opposed in the alley. He could recognize her voice. Even though he could feel his powers locked up, he can still recognize the voice of the people he heard. Lydo rolled her eyes at Lucas as she stood before him. She signed l

    CONGRESSMAN STYLES MANSION “Let him go!” Lucas yelled. Jack was suspended in the air. He pleads for his life but Ann showed no mercy. She glanced at Lucas with hate in her eyes. “You will never find my former mistress’ corpse.” Ann’s words stroke him. “So it was you?” “I had help,” Ann giggled. “Let him go and we can talk about this,” Lucas pleaded. “Whatever anger you have should be channeled to me. He has nothing to do with it.” “You are right,” Ann flashed a fake smile that can’t get to Lucas. “He has been a pain in your ass and now I want to help you delete him.” With a flick of her wrist, Ann released Jack and let him slump to the ground. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed to help Jack but Ann flings him away. She appeared behind Lucas and stabbed him with a similar dagger he stabbed Lucas with. “Die asshole,” she whispered into his ear. “No!” Lucas roared. It’s too late fo

    “What are you doing?” Jane stared with a confused look. This isn’t saving. Pete’s actions got her puzzled. “A few tricks I learned from Jones,” Pete replied without looking up. His hand was still buried in Lucas’ chest. He isn’t pulling it out – instead, he held Lucas firmly in his arm. He glanced at Jane. There was a concerned look on her face. The look one gives when betrayed. “Relax,” he said. “I’m just trying to keep his heartbeat.” “By burring your claws into his chest?” Jane cast a wide-eyed gaze. At this moment, she doesn’t know whose side Pete is on. “I’m just massaging his heart,” Pete spoke up in his defense. He knew that look on Jane’s face. He focuses on his alpha and continued caressing his heart. It’s a way of reviving a werewolf if you noticed his heartbeat slowing down. By just massaging the heart, the heart will get back popping blood as it ought. Jones used this trick to revive

    “Lucas, wake up!” a loud voice called out. The voice came growing louder and closer in Lucas’ ear. He quickly sat up and started gazing around. Nothing seems familiar. There was a slow-moving creek close by. It’s quite different from the bayou at Hilltop. As he was about to get to his feet, the voice came again, “You’re not supposed to be here.” He flicked around. He recognizes the voice. It was Bonnie speaking. There she is standing and staring down at him next to a tree. Lucas quickly sprang up to his feet and wanted to make a run for it. Bonnie disappeared and reappeared before him. “You’re not supposed to be here!” she yelled. “You don’t belong here.” “Please don’t hurt me!” Lucas cried out. He was terrified like a scared little child. “I will not hurt you but you need to leave—you don’t belong here!” she disappeared into thin air. Lucas stared around puzzled in fear. His legs shake rapidly. H

    The pale-looking man’s hand is mangled and his skin peels away like a banana. They are replaced with the large, hairy, and dangerous clawed hands of a beastly creature. “Not again!” Captain White cried out. He has witnessed the furious nature of werewolves in the woods but got his ass saved by his wife. Too bad Kora isn’t here to save him. She’s still kicking some asses in the ancestors’ world.

    Captain White was suspended in the air by an unseen force. The unseen force had him on his throat and he gasped for air desperately. Lucas moved at an accelerated speed toward his father. He moved faster than the eyes could see. Whatever that is suspending his father in the air won’t let him be if he didn’t act. On reaching his father, he stretched his hand to take hold of his father’s hand. He was more than 19ft above the ground level. There’s no way Lucas could get to him. He propels himself into the air and allowed himself to be pulled into flight. It was too late for him to get to his faster – the invisible force was acting ahead of him. His father vanished into thin air. Lucas crashed and landed on a tombstone. His face became distorted with rage. He sprang back to his feet and began scanning around with his eyes desperately. “Show yourself and fight me!” he roared. A weird unseen force flings Lucas th
