Chapter 101: Hounds From Hell Unknown Location, Unknown State... Snakeskin boots touched down onto white dust as the infamous killer kidnapper known fully as Jarrett Quinton Beaulieu slid out of his truck. His keen narrow eyes had been fixated on a rather impressive but barely held-together hunting shack as he gripped a silver barrel shotgun and made his way up the small wooden steps and into the front door. There had been a good deal of blood splattered about the place, remains and carcasses of dead animals of various kinds, and an occasional human body or two shot through the heart and lying where they had been dropped Jarrett had not been a stranger to nature, no stranger to nature at all when it came to men, women, children and animals alike.As he huffed and stomped about the darkened shack, he took note of the box of silver bullets that had been laid out on a makeshift table splattered with blood and animal guts. The flies had not yet gotten to the place but the rancid stench
Prologue: The Little Red Among Rabid WolvesThe County Fair, Unknown City, Unknown State....(2001) Unimpeded ruckus filled the background as twisting metal swirled and twirled in the distance as many a machine got a good work out due to the numerous rows of people all huddled together in single lines barely able to keep the shape as many a man and woman stood amid the heat of the beaming golden rays of the afternoon sun both excited and impatient at the same time. There were attendees of all shapes and sizes, big, small, surprisingly plump and inexplicably thin. There were people in various colorful outfits in combination of jeans and khakis, skirts and shorts, wearing shirts of every size and style while some were men preferred to wear no shirt at all and some women were dressed down due to the heat in some tight fitting and inappropriate garb that made the older people stop and stare, some wore sandals, some flip-flops, some were even barefoot and others wore tennis shoes
Chapter 1: The Same Old Boring Kind Of Life Layla's Bedroom,144 W. Guthrie Road, The Quinn Residence, W. Main Highway, Temperance, South Dakota.... Golden rays from an unrelenting sun seemed to burst through the thick beige drapes that lined the windows of a single bedroom on the east end of a small two bedroom house in the backwoods. It was a yellow house, a significant thing to remember due to all of the surrounding trees and dark brown soil that made the place really feel like home aside from the gravel road that lead out to the main highway which was covered in thick black asphalt and smelled heavily of readily replaced black tar. The trees provided a good deal of shade, but it depended where the sun was heavily focused and how determined it was to burst through the drapes. The baby blue eyes of a formerly slumbering sixteen year old girl opened to the new morning as wet tears began to dry along her supple pale colored cheeks. It seemed to always be this way whenever
Chapter 2: Just Another Day In TemperanceThe Kitchen,144 W. Guthrie Road, The Quinn Residence, W. Main Highway, Temperance, South Dakota... A gentle breeze moved passed the traveling teen who found herself feeling a bit exhausted from the long walk, Layla as she moved down the highway toward the local bus stop was one of two that would finally get her to school. She held her book bag on one shoulder via the strap and did her very best to ignore the catcalls from the unseemly and aged grease monkeys that fixed up various cars in the old body shop located along her route to the bus stop. She hated being objectified by men old enough to be her father and then some and rolled her eyes as she moved. It wasn't all bad, she sometimes would envision one of the cars getting loose and smashing the offending bastards to death and leaving them in a pool of their blood and slick black car oil for laughs. Their annoying words were the very reason she often wore her gray sweatshirt even when it
Chapter 3: The None Too Subtle Perks Of Road LifeRoom 42, Kings Canyon Motel, Roadside Motel, Unknown City, South Dakota.... The inescapable call of nature shattered the slumber of a formerly snoring naked man with short dark brown hair and a thick scruffy beard that lined a handsome face with rugged features, he appeared to have been in his early thirties as he pulled back the crisp white sheet that lined the bed due to the thick comforter being absent following his discarding of it the previous night as he took note of the slumbering blonde lying on her side next to him. She'd been equally naked and had her back to him where her exposed backside was in full view of his vision along with the lining of her spine as she continued to drool over the white fluffy pillow she currently occupied. The stench of sex and sweat filled the air and various articles of their mutually shed attire littered the floor amid tossed pillows and the thick brown comforter that came with the bed. Sha
Chapter 4: The Glorious Lifestyle Of Steel CowboysRoom 42, Kings Canyon Motel, Roadside Motel, Unknown City, South Dakota.... Revving engines filled the surrounding air as "Brick" and his gang lined the parking lot and prepared to take off down the long and winding road in continuation of their journey and the party that seemed to never end whenever they were together. There were about nine of them hitting the road all together and each and everyone of them carried the blood of a beast inside their veins as they fuled up on cocain and alcohol while tearing through town after town reveling in the new found freedom their lifestyle had afforded them. Each member of The Howlers M.C wore a patch and each member sported the classic black leather cut that solidified their unity. Much like the many riders of mortal means, the club was their life. And they wouldn't hesitate to take anyone out that attempted to bring harm to either one of their members. They were a family after all, more s
Chapter 5: An Uneventful School DayForest Lake High School, Temperance, South Dakota.... Layla arrived at the front of the school with plenty of time as Derrick exited his mother's car, a white four door sedan and approached her just as Amy came rushing up to them clutching her loose books into her chest with both arms. It seemed they were down to being a just a trio once more with Casey off doing her cheerleader thing and they made their way toward the front doors of the school after meeting up. It was still quite warm out and all of the other students were taking their collective sweet time to file inside before the bell rang. This day seemed just as unappealing and mundane as all of the other days and nights Layla spent in Temperance. She just had her friends and dreams for her future to keep her going despite not even wanting to climb out of bed much of the time. The none too eager students made their journey into the school veering off toward their respective 1st period c
Chapter 6: Welcome To Temperance The Roadside, Temperance, South Dakota.... Brick took a few moments to drain the main vein along the side of the highway as he veered off toward the open grassland and swiftly unzipped his jeans and took hold of the enormous trouser snake that had been within. He grunted in relief as the steady stream of dark yellow urine was expelled from his formerly aching bladder. His keen eyes took in the sight of the surrounding land and the up cropping of a town a few miles out. He smirked when he noted the quiet little place not far from the road sign where he'd chosen to relieve himself and the almost faded black lettering on the formerly white square sign that read "WELCOME TO TEMPERANCE". It was interesting to see that they had made it all the way to South Dakota on their random journey and now were set to enter the apparently sleepy town of Temperance. Brick smirked at the sign and turned his attention back to relieving himself along the highway m
