The Luna's Law Chapter 62
*Logan*We did our best to arrive at the place unnoticed, but it was futile. Andrew helped a lot with arranging our trip to Larch Valley Creek, and we managed to come in less than three hours, but when you use a very fancy private jet painted gold, you can't go unnoticed.Although the airport was around an hour away from the town, I am sure someone must have tipped the bad guys because when we turned near the mill, it was set on fire, and the firefighters were trying to put it down. Someone was obviously trying to cover up the traces quickly."So what do you suggest we do now?" I asked as we watched the firefighters work their asses to secure the area.We parked nearby to avoid detection but decided to show up naturally when we noticed the smoke, sirens, and lights."Now, we divide the plan," Andrew suggested as he scanned the nearby crowd of onlookers."You, Elmar, and Greg blend in with the crowd, and you'll start to sniff around. Everyone separately, make sure you all look like you

*Logan*My legs propelled me forward, my body moving with a speed that felt like a glide. I advanced as if the earth were a polished surface. My breaths were steady and shallow, and my heart thudded in what seemed like slow motion.I ran forward, deeper and deeper into the dark forest. On the way, I passed clumps of trees whose crowns shone with bright colors, jumped over fallen rotten logs covered with golden moss, and heard birds chirping above me, encouraging me to stop and admire their landscape.I felt something was wrong, although I couldn't describe what threatened me here. The shadows behind the white barks were hissing, whistling, and whispering. And even though I wanted to stop and assess the threat, my legs didn't stop running.As time passed, I felt a gradual pulse in my head, a peculiar sensation as if something unseen yearned to emerge from within me. Meanwhile, Gunnar commenced a haunting, melodic howl at the luminous moon. His demeanor exuded an unmistakable sense of d

*Poppy*The increasing sounds of quarreling, struggling, and shortly after, the sound of bullets being fired woke me from my lethargy. I got scared and jumped up from my half-conscious state, wondering when I let my guard down and fell asleep taking on my role too well. I tried to claw myself out of the blanket wrapped around me too tightly for my taste, but when the whistle of bullets flew past my head, I fell to the floor, trying to lie as flat as possible."What the?" I fell silent before I asked the question because the wall opposite me began to crack under the pressure of the bullets shot at it, and my fear suddenly started to give me ideas for escape.I freed myself from the tight zip ties and began to tear the blanket from the inside, using Iris's claws, which, in all this chaos, she allowed me to use. I didn't know the situation behind that damn makeshift box, and I certainly didn't intend to let myself be used as a sieve, so I decided to escape and, if possible, find Azize an

*Poppy*I was shivering, my teeth chattering, and steam came out of my mouth with every breath. I don't know how long I had been locked in here, but judging by the frosty and stiff blanket, it must have been a few hours. I jumped when a van, or rather a refrigerator on wheels, hit another bump in the road.'What the hell is going on here? This isn't a rescue unit. Who hides people in the damn working refrigerator truck? It is more like an animal transport for slaughter.' I noticed when a woman's body fell to the ground with a dull thud. The poor thing had given up.I couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore; her last sob had ended ages ago. What the hell was going on here? I don't remember when I was put here or why. And what's worse, why do the women locked here with me look like they've just said goodbye to life? I began to worry that I would never see my daughter again."Gemma," I whispered her name, almost sobbing, praying that fate would unite us in this life.'There's no point in wai

*Poppy*I felt like I was standing in the middle of a movie scene played in slow motion. Everything around me seemed to slow down, almost freeze, as I watched the slowly falling snowflakes cover the drama that took place here. I did exactly as I promised. I followed Logan's instructions and my mantra, not showing mercy and fighting as if my life depended on it because it did.I don't regret jumping out of the refrigerator truck and attacking two civilians; I don't regret using their weapons against them; the only thing I regret is that I wasn't able to help those girls whose empty, lifeless eyes were starring right at me, lying right under my feet with their heads shot.This is the one sight I didn't want to see, and unfortunately, I will remember it for the rest of my life. Screams and cries for help came from every side, interwoven with moans of pain, pleas for mercy, and the whistle of bullets fired in volleys.I stood naked, stained with the blood of people who didn't wait long to
The Luna's Law Chapter 67
*Poppy*I passed another sign suggesting a detour, probably the fifth one in a row, but I kept going. For the past hour, these signs had been guiding me forward. I had never seen the end of a road marked so densely, and for such a long distance; it had to mean something. When Logan was driving us here, I knew, or instead remembered, that all these detours or signs indicating the end of the road were just a decoy for the curious, who wanted to see for themselves if the legends of swamp monsters were true.He explained it as a way to avoid unwanted guests, or at least scare most of them away, but those who ignored the signs they had to deal with differently, making sure no one would remember anything. I yawned again but quickly slapped my cheek to stay awake. I had to have my eyes wide open so as not to miss any sign intended only for the initiated, if there was one. I only remember a little about the ride to Andrew's house because my brain was busy with something other than memorizing
The Luna's Law Chapter 68
*Poppy*I tore off another piece of bread, dipped it in the wonderfully spiced warm pumpkin soup, and stuffed my face, eating as if I hadn't had food in a year. I felt like that, although my hunger seemed only a day away."Take it easy, slowly, or you'll choke, Poppy." Sybilla lectured me, although not very seriously, because she was enjoying me judging by the smile that appeared on her face."This is delicious. Thank you." I praised with a full mouth, wanting to finish the meal as soon as possible and see my daughter.Sybilla took care of my guest from the truck and secured the cargo I had brought. I didn't think I would ever be as grateful for the help as I was then. If it weren't for Sybilla, I know that today I wouldn't be sitting in a warm parlor, warming myself by the fireplace and eating delicious soup. Her kindness and support were a lifeline in this dire situation.Those vampires that attacked me were genuinely terrifying, and from what Sybilla explained to me on the way to t
The Luna's Law Chapter 69
*Poppy*As I entered the dense and eerie forest at night, the darkness enveloped me like a heavy cloak. The trees loomed overhead, casting long, shadowy shapes that seemed to shift and dance in the faint moonlight. Twigs cracked beneath my feet, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze sounded like whispers in the darkness. Each step felt heavy with the weight of the unknown, and every distant hoot of an owl or rustle in the underbrush sent shivers down my spine. Despite the creepiness, there was a strange allure to the mysterious atmosphere of the forest, which drew me deeper and deeper into its depths.I walked barefoot along a path covered with dry autumn leaves. A heavy, cold fog spread around me, but my bare arms did not shiver. I walked unruffled as if none of these inconveniences affected me.I suddenly heard a child's laughter somewhere in the distance, and my previously unshaken heart beat painfully. A feeling of loss and pain shot through my body, and instinctively, I ran to
