ABBYI couldn’t stop staring at the text from Trevor, and I felt a knot tighten in my stomach as his name kept ringing in my head. My mind drifted back to the visions I had earlier, and I couldn’t shake off the image of Trevor aiming a gun at me and telling me to run. It felt so real.He looked so hostile and his whole demeanor was grim. What connection did he have with Jericho?Where had he been all this while?I fought the urge to call him because I was still in the car with Blake. So I texted him, “Where are you ?"He texted back almost immediately "I'll see you in school tomorrow." I wanted to ask more questions, but I restrained myself. A sharp pain surged through my chest as I thought about Ashley. Blake looked at me through the rearview mirror and noticed my uneasiness, so he turned on the radio, in an attempt to draw my attention. The voice on the radio was a reporter from the local newspaper, he was describing the body of a young girl which was found on the outskirts of town
TREVOR{Thursday 8 days to the blood moon}I woke up to the sound of a gritty voice, whispering in my ear.“Good morning Trevor, my name is Jonathan Gordon. But you can call me Jericho.”I was stunned when I opened my eyes and saw his face. He was leaning toward me with a glass of water as he smiled. He had a long scar across his face and dark brown eyes.“What's going on?” I asked.“Let's go downstairs and have a chat,” he replied as he got up and walked out of the room.I looked out through the window and saw two moving trucks and a lot of cars. Some men were moving furniture out of my house and putting them in the trucks, while the rest of them stood beside the trucks with firearms.Everything was happening too fast, it felt like a dream.I was overwhelmed as I walked down the stairs and looked into the living room. More than half of the furniture had already been moved, and some men were moving the rest of the furniture through the door, as three men took pictures of the places th
ASHLEY {Friday, 7 days to the blood moon}We sat on the road for a while, feeling the scorching heat from the woods as we stared into the blazing inferno.Tiffany was still weak, even though she had regained consciousness.Peter's voice broke the tense silence. "We must take her to the hospital," he urged, concern etched on his face.I hesitated, my mind preoccupied with Abby's safety. "But what about Abby? We can't abandon her in the woods."“The fire is too much. She can't be in there.” Peter exclaimed.We can't waste any more time. Let's split up," shJennifer suggested. "Check for Abby at home, and meet us back at the hospital."With a nod of agreement, we quickly scattered, each taking a different path.Peter carried Tiffany in his arms as they headed toward Lockwood hospital. I turned in the opposite direction and I ran as fast as I could, my breaths coming in ragged gasps as I prayed that Abby would be safe.When I arrived at my house, I burst through the door and searched eve
SHERIFF{Saturday// 6 days to the blood moon}Lockwood had always been a peaceful town. No robberies, no fights, and no deaths. So, my heart skipped when an anonymous caller told me about a war in the woods. She mentioned werewolves and hunters who called themselves Jericho and told me to watch out for a girl named Abby Chesterfield. I tried to shake it off as a prank call, but the urgency in her tone wouldn’t let me.I received another call from the station, the voice on the other end hushed and tense. "Chief, there was a fire last night," the caller whispered."In the woods?" I inquired, attempting to sound casual.“Yeah, how did you know?”“I got an anonymous call,” I sighed.“Oh okay. What should I do?” he asked.“Call an ambulance and a fire engine. I’ll meet you at the station.” I instructed firmly“Okay chief,” he acknowledged before hanging up.After my shower, I dressed in my uniform and descended the stairs to find my wife flipping pancakes and my daughter munching on cereal
MOLLY{Wednesday 9 days to the blood moon}I was on a hunt with my boyfriend Blake when an SUV arrived in the woods. I recognized the symbol on the driver's neck, Jericho. Blake told me that they were werewolf hunters before he turned into a wolf and pounced on the car, breaking the windshield and pulling the driver out. A lean man with gray hair got down from the car with a glowing box and threw it at Blake.I felt the energy being drained out of me as Blake fell and turned back into a human. The closer the box was to me, the weaker I felt.The lean man walked calmly towards me and put the box in my hands. I felt so weak; I was barely standing. He smiled and took the box before saying; “my name is Jonathan Gordon, and I’m not your enemy.”I stared at him for a while and looked back at Blake, who was being tied up by the driver, then I asked; “what do you want with us?”He leaned forward until our foreheads were touching, then placed his left hand on my shoulder and studied my face fo
ABBY{Tuesday, 3 days to the blood moon}When the sheriff heard my name, his expression was unchanged. He stared at me blankly and his breathing was steady like he already knew my name, he already knew who I was. He gave me a missing person form and left the office. Then he came back with the map from my vision. “I can help you find your sister,” he said as he gave me the map. “But I need you to listen to me.”“Okay,” I nodded.“The man I was at your school with is the head of ‘project Jericho’. He took your sister, but he also took my wife and kid. So, I have to cooperate with him.”He paced around the room and continued; “I sent some trusted people to rescue them. So, all I need from you in the meantime is to act like you know nothing.”I stared at him for a while, thinking of the right questions to ask.“How do you know my sister?” I asked.“She came here on Saturday and told me everything she knew about Jericho. We planned to meet the next day, but she was taken.”I was about to
ABBY{Tuesday, 3 days to the blood moon}“I love you, Abby Chesterfield,” kept ringing in my head. I didn't know how to reply, and he didn’t need me to. The thought of running away with him lingered in my mind. All we had to do was to pack a few bags, get some groceries, and leave Lockwood behind with all its madness. But I felt guilty for letting the thought linger, knowing that my sister and the sheriff's family were still with Jericho. “We can't run away,” I said. “I'm the reason Lockwood is in danger, so I have to stay and fight. I owe them that much.”“It's not your fault, Abby,” he said and wrapped his arm around my waist. “I understand why you want to stay and fight, but it's pointless. We can't win. Jericho is bigger than you think, and they came prepared.”“If they are so willing to burn Lockwood to the ground just to find me, what do you think they would do when they don't?” I spluttered and gave him an accusing glare as I got up from the couch.“They need you on the blood
ABBY{Tuesday, 3 days to the blood moon}“What’s going on, Abby?” Trevor asked as he stared at me in alarm. “I can give you a ride home. My dad's car is outside.”I tried to say something, but the ringing in my ears got louder, and my vision blurred until I couldn’t see anything. I pushed past him and staggered down the stairs, trying to steady my steps and my breath.His voice was inaudible as he ran after me. The only sounds I could hear were the heartbeats of everyone I walked past, and howling from afar. I smelt blood and craved it. “Hey, Abby,” David said as he walked up to me and grabbed my arm. I tried to pull my arm away, but his grip was firm. “You can’t leave yet,” he said. “Have a beer before you go.”The ringing in my ears became unbearable, and the dizziness got worse as I tried to steady my legs, which were trembling. “Please, let go of my arm. I need to go,” I struggled to say.But he won't listen. “Just have a beer,” he said.Trevor managed to push past everyone in th
