STORM To say I am distracted the whole time I am in class is an understatement. It’s been hours since I got away from, them but they are all I can think about. Being close to them like that did something in my mind and belly. I keep getting like flutters when I think about their proximity, and when Landon touched me… I could swear the whole world faded and I I couldn’t see or hear anything trapped in those grey eyes. When I came out of the haze, I could feel all of them watching us, which made me all the more anxious to get the hell away from them. I need to breathe and get my thoughts in order. Being with them, near them made all thoughts escape my mind and I didn’t want that to happen. I check my phone at the number he saved himself in it. It’s the first and only number on my phone. Just as I am looking at it, a text message flashes, and I open it. It’s Landon. He just texted me the party details, and I see it’s not that far away from my new house. And he adds a little winking
STORM Any good hunter would know this was a stakeout. I didn’t expect anything less from them and I have to admit, this is making me thrilled, knowing they are as good as all the rumors said they were. I knew appearances mattered at such a party, but I needed to show up as myself, or else I was already losing the game. I was nervous, but it’s where all the fun is, right? The butterflies in your stomach, are a little breathless, and the coil inside of you know that this is supposed the start of a very dangerous edging game.. that’s where all the fun is. That and the undeniable attraction between us all, so palpable you can taste it. I shouldn’t be thinking about that. But it’s all I can think of and the fact that I am going to be wrapped in their scents not long after this, which is going to drive me crazy and make me murderous at the same time. A crazy combination for a girl like me. Sighing, I get out and approach the huge oak door, and a guy opens the door for me. “Name?” “
LANDON I am walking on thin ice. It’s no secret that she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and sexy as well. But there is something else, that’s right there but you just can’t see it yet. Like a mystery, you don’t want to know because you’re a goner once you do. Which makes all this reasonable. I still haven’t managed to make her let her guard down, but she will. Just a matter of time. There is just something about her that has all of us on edge, a certain unpredictability about her. Sure, her story checks but still, a niggling sense at the back of my mind tells me to keep my guard up with her. Her arrival into town and my parents’ death is all too much coincidental. I have experienced pain before, but my parents’ death, my two little sisters …I will not rest until I have the killer in my jaws, taste their fear when they see me coming for them. And then I will proceed to break all their bones, in excruciating pain; because I will find them, even if it kills me. And the
KYLEIt was all my idea.The party was going wild all around me, but my eyes were only on her. There she stood, so close to him as they talked. She looked at him like she only saw him, something that made me tense, enough to grip the party cup a little too hard to destroy it. I toss it aside, and I suddenly, want to charge toward them and demand to know what they are talking about.But, Tonight is all about her, knowing her true reason for coming to this town, and him leading her on is all a play, but I don’t think he is remembering it because since they got back from his room, the bastard has been a little glazed.Something happened between them. The thought makes me both mad and jealous which doesn’t help my mood at all and I am not the only one who seems to feel that. I can sense cole’s unease when he sees Landon descending the stairs as well. Same with Dean, who is outside but also very aware of what's going on. this needs to happen right now, my patience is running low.If she i
STORM “the only person who is going to regret this is you,”That is all I hear before I am thrust in front, and I lose my balance. I feel myself falling and I can't stop it. then my back hits cold water and I know she has pushed me into the pool.I close my eyes feeling the sting of water in my eye, water rushing through my nose and mouth.I don’t know how to swim to save my life, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise to me that I might be drowning in this pool right now the last thing I will feel is the way the alcohol in my veins is making me feel like my drowning is happening in slow motion.It is getting hard to breathe, and I am choking, but my arms and limbs are flaccid, and I can't move. A part of me lets go, and it's scary but again, freeing.Perhaps I will see my father again….And just as the thought crosses my mind, I feel hands grabbing me and pushing me up. I have no control so I just let myself be led up and once again, I feel a cool breeze on my face.Then I am coughing,
DEANI can't feel her.Looking around, there should be evidence of her living here, but there is none. her scent is barely here too which makes me think she must have bought this house recently.I go upstairs to the two bedrooms and open the first one immediately after the stairs.It's hers. Here, she is present. I expected to see a lot of clothes, stuff, and all the unnecessary belongings girls seem to have but not her, which makes m all the more intrigued.A few clothes, one duffel bag, and that’s all.I am skilled in tracking and finding unhidden things and truths and this right here feels like I am missing a lot judging on what I see. Doesn’t matter, because I don’t find anything which makes me frustrated.“what are you hiding?” I ask out loud silently and when I can't find anything, not a single thing, I huff out in frustration and go downstairs.“Anything?” comes a voice through the phone I am holding.One last look around and I shake my head. “nothing.”I hang up the call and g
STORMIt's easy to put aside your feelings for someone when they are not right in front of you.Which is a thing I feel and understand more and more the further I pull away from the house. I was going to enjoy doing this and I would make it worth my while…That is all I could think. Blood rush through my ears and the hot emotion in my belly make me feel nauseated.I can't believe I fell into that with him. I am so stupid to think I was special or that I was somehow not as planned as I had hoped.Turns out it's true.All the good tinglings I had felt and the highness of it came down plummeting when I had finally worn my clothes and had gone downstairs to find Landon and tell him I was leaving.When I saw him going towards the poolhouse and they all got in, curiosity got the better of me and I snuck to hear what they were talking about.I had all needed to hear. It cut deep when I heard kyle shouting that I was a plan and that Landon was messing it all up. Kyle.I don’t know why I had t
IN MY DARK TIMESHope is a damnable thing.I saw hope in her eyes when she was running, that maybe she would be able to outrun her set fate and maybe get away, or that someone would come and save her.No one came. She didn’t outrun me.She died, by my hands.I watched her beating heart in my hand still warm and blood dripping from my palms to my boots. I remember the high I felt when I saw her eyes roll and blankly stare at not breathing she took her last breath. When I could still hear and feel the faint pump of the heart before tossing it down beside her.then I cleaned up after myself, making sure not to leave a single fur that could be traced back to me. Making it a clean murder.A delicious I am, under the delicious pressure of the showerhead in my house. I shiver and it’s not because I am cold. It’s the sweet release I finally feel after a successful kill like tonight. It works the knots in my body. A sweet release, a necessary letting go of all the little tensions inside.And a
STORM Landon and I have been on the road for a week now and right now, we are on our way back home. It's so early, and I am quiet in my seat as I look outside the window as he drives. My whole life changed when I met them, and I cannot take it back, every single of them. I don’t regret any of it. I have decided to go home knowing that there is always going to be darkness in me, it's there to stay, and the best part of it is, I have found boys who want to join in on my darkness. They have shared theirs and invited me into theirs. It's my time to let them in and invite them on in mine. For great love, you must go through the pain. To have all that you desire, you must sacrifice. Pain and love go hand in hand, for you cannot love if you don’t feel the pain of it, it goes together. You cannot know what you have until you have lost it all. And that’s what I realized during my break. I did what I had to do, even went away for a minute from my love to know how true that statement was.
STORM The bar around ends up being a biker's bar, with several bikers packed at the front. I shouldn’t, it's rowdy, and if I am guessing, when they see me alone some will try to hit on me taking me for a fragile little thing that has ended up where she isn’t supposed to. Even before I let that thought to sink in, I am already opening the door, the little bell at the top of the door chiming, and the whole bar goes quiet, all eyes turning towards me. I pause, taking it all in and all the people in. Burly men, tattoos covering their skins heavily, leather jackets and studs on some, a few girls on their laps, and they all look mean and menacing. I proceed to walk towards the tabletop counter where a woman bartender is watching me. everyone is watching me and after I sit down, when they realize I am not going away, they resume their talking. “what will you have?” she asks as she wipes a glass with the towel. “something that will make sure I have a good time tonight,” I reply as I hol
STORMDemons - Hayley Kiyoko is blasting off my speakers as I speed past cars on the highway. Singing along as I beat the steering wheel, wind in my hair as I come from a kill that left me freshly rejuvenated.It should worry me a great deal that the only thing that’s making me feel alive again is killing, but that thought only makes me laugh.I mean, who am I to deny who I am? Maybe it was destined for me to finally embrace this dark side of me without painting it to be a burden, like a means to an end to my purpose.I have no purpose now, other than to feel me again and love me.That’s a good purpose, I didn’t think I was all about self-love and all, I think to myself as I look at my blood-caked nails.I need to find a place to sleep in tonight, perhaps eat human food, cook of course, and sleep. Then tomorrow I do the same thing, I have a long list of people to unalive.I find a motel and check in, and I thank the gods for the showerhead, which has a fairly decent water pressure.I
STORMI never thought it could happen, but it is.I am standing by my Impala, looking at Ridgewood one last time before I speed away and I feel like I am leaving my soul and heart behind.This could be one of the things I will ever regret doing. I can't seem to remember why I am doing this because it hurts so much, but it's all for the better.I wipe away the tear sliding down my cheek and get in my car, revving the engine and speeding away.Back on the road again, alone, leaving all that I have ever wanted behind.I open my compartment glove and I find my old burner phone. I flip it open and find the number I am looking for.“hey Stevie, I need a job.”“Long time Cherry, where are you?”I am heading north, can you find me something worth my while?”“anything for you, but aren’t you rusty? Rumour has it-““Are you sending me the coordinates to a good hunt or not? I didn’t take you for a gossip.”“All I am saying is, now you are not as incognito as before, be careful out there.”“I did
KYLE It’s a rainy gloomy day. It must be matching with my moods and those around me as we all await our bride to walk up to us. The ceremony is being held outdoors, the planners had thought that the day would be sunny and warm, but the rain has started and hasn’t stopped since an hour ago. I don’t mind, as I know this is not exactly how I wanted us to do this so here we are. “why did she not choose the other location that was offered?” Dean asks me quietly as we stand at the front of the huge tent serving as our shelter. They still managed to pull it off with the lowers, it would look magical was it not for the bitterness and bad taste in my mouth about this day. “doesn't matter, we are not here to party, we are just a means to an end for her to leave us,” I respond to him. “Can we all stop doing this? It's already in motion so let's get this over with,” Landon mutters. None of us have been in good shape or moods since last week when she said that she wanted to leave and the o
STORMI find myself at Magdaline’s new house's doorstep.I press the doorbell before I think myself out of this.“come in honey,” she opens the door and waves me in I can feel all the walls drop down and I whimper as she pulls me into an embrace.“I have messed up everything,” I cry as she holds me.She soothes me and takes me to the couch. There is a young girl in the house who has been helping her and she brings me some tea and then leaves.“you have been through so much baby,” she says ss he pushes hair off my face.“I'm so tired,” I whisper as I curl on the couch, head on her lap.“I know,” she validates me. I go ahead and tell her all that has happened and she cries with me, and I feel so sleepy.“I don’t know if they will ever forgive me, but I need to get away.”“There is only one way that you can go away and they remain here unaffected by your absence.”“I will do it, anything. I need to fix myself and maybe one day we will be together again,” I tell her meaning every word.“y
STORM“so you have been feeling this? all of you?” I ask them and their grim faces tell me everything.“Baby, you shut us down every step we take to help you,” Kyle approaches me and I take a step back.“I don’t want your help,” I tell him and he looks like I have slapped him.I don’t mean to o this, but I don’t think I can stop.“you have been drowning and we have been here asking you how to help you and you have said no. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to save you,” Landon speaks to me gently.“I don’t want to be saved, no one can save me,” I say. I can feel tears scrolling down my face.“why are you doing this?” Dean asks, his voice hurt.I exhale, steeling myself. “because none of you understand.”“Help us then understand you, we love you so much, too much to let you be this way,” Kyle approaches me once again and I let him come close to me. “let us in, please.”I want to give in so much, but it's going to be the same. It's going to feel like it has been for a while now.
STORMMy whole being is cold. My insides are wound tight. I am aware of things that are happening, I can feel everything and I wish I wasn’t.Because tonight is the night all my fears have come true. I have been wishing my life was different for weeks now and tonight, the universe has said yes to them.I just lost my babies, and I know it's all,y doing. It doesn’t matter what they all say or try to tell me, this is my doing. They felt my hesitation, my longing for a different life and they have left me.You know what's stupid, it’s the fact that every time I felt like I was a clown, not being true to the rest of them I would talk to them and confide my true feelings to them.They wouldn’t judge me, they were inside me and they knew what was going on. They had come to be my partners in this ridiculously high life, and now they are gone.To be honest, I feel betrayed. They were here, and now they are gone. It's my fault, and yet a part of me thought that they would never leave.I am so
DEANI feel the pain laced through our bond.We have never cried before, but I can feel us all crying. storm has gone quiet, save for the double breathing she is experiencing. Kyle stands up as I take her in my arms straight to the tub.She isn’t even opening her eyes, her face is on my neck, holding on tight. The whole penthouse is quiet as we prepare a bath for her and I start to take off her clothes.She doesn’t let me.“let me get you cleaned up,” I ask her and she shakes her head no.“I need to be alone right now,” she says and I look at the others who all feel like the last thing she needs is to be alone.“Okay,” I say and start getting outside. The boys are hesitant to get out but we finally let her have the space and once the door is locked behind us, I can hear the soft cries.“fuck,” Cole sits outside the door head in his hands.“what the fuck happened?” I ask Landon quietly as I start to realize what has just happened. Storm just miscarried.“We were talking, she had an up
