ASHLEY{Monday, 4 days to the blood moon}Mr. Gordon was sitting on a chair across the room when I woke up. I did not know how long I was out, but everything seemed clear. I had an ache in my head, but it was mild compared to the stinging pain I had across my forehead earlier. He sat on the bed when he saw I was awake, and I looked at his wristwatch to check the time. It was 12.05 pm. But it was 7 am when he gave me a shot in the morning. “How are you feeling, Ashley?” he asked as he checked my temperature.An image of Peter screaming as the car tumbled flashed through my mind. “Where is Peter?” I asked.He glowered at me and looked away. “You were in an accident a few hours ago, and here I am, trying to take care of you. But you keep asking about this boy? Teenagers.”“Well, just take me to him then,” I demanded.“I'll take you to him,” he said. “But you have to answer a few questions first.”“Okay,” I said. “What do you want to know?”He walked to the chair he was sitting on when I

SHERIFF{Sunday, 5 days to the blood moon}“My name is Jasmine,” a teenager said as she entered the office. I stared at her and looked back at Jacob, he was standing with the girl from earlier.“My name is Molly,” she said with a grin. I massaged my scalp and tried to get over the ringing in my head. “What are you guys doing here?” I asked. “I'm not running a daycare.” Molly chuckled. “Well, Mr. Sheriff,” she said. “We didn't come here for you to babysit us. If at all anyone needed babysitting, it would be you.”“Me?” I asked. “How so?”She picked up the Father's Day mug on the floor and handed it to me. “You were unconscious when we walked in here, and from the symbol on the injection in the waste bin, I can tell that Mr. Gordon or one of his men visited you,” she said. “And from the Father’s day mug, I can tell you have a family. If Mr. Gordon knows you, your family can't be safe.”“You're right,” I admitted. “But I don't see how you can help me.”“Why?” she asked. “Because I'm a

ASHLEY{Monday, 4 days to the blood moon}“Our goal,” Anthony Gordon said. “Is to create a superhuman. With werewolf strength, werewolf speed, and werewolf healing abilities. But without the fur.”I touched Peter's palm, and it was too cold. “How did you know that his blood would be compatible with mine if you haven't tested him yet?” I asked. “Well, Ashley,” he said. “Your blood is like a virus. A single drop of it in the body of a human could kill all the cells. So, we injected Peter with your blood, not enough to alter his genes and give him wolf powers, but enough to kill him if he wasn't compatible.”“You weren't even sure he would survive! Yet you injected him?” I yelled.“Science is about taking risks,” he said.“Science?” I asked. “If what you are doing here is purely scientific, what connection do you have with the blood moon?”He checked Peter’s temperature and removed the drip on his hand. “Jonathan runs Project Jericho as you know it,” he said. “I and the Chesterfields fo

ABBY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}I had always imagined my teenage love story to unfold quite differently. In my mind, a kind-hearted young man would muster up the courage to ask me out, and I would playfully resist his advances before eventually relenting. He would shower me with affectionate texts and thoughtful gifts, and we would share our first date and first kiss on a magical evening that would culminate with us dancing the night away at prom. But, alas, reality proved to be far different from my dreamy expectations.Ashley was always the better twin with good grades, a spot on the cheerleading squad, beauty, and brains. Even when I did well, she outdid me. She consistently received A's, and if I managed to get an A, she would get an A+. She was asked out by all the cool boys in school, except for Trevor Coleman, who was dating Tiffany. Their relationship always seemed toxic to me, so I disliked them both.I never thought a day like this would come when Trevor Coleman

SHERIFF{Tuesday, 3 days to the blood moon}I woke up to the sound of a loud banging on my front door. I felt that Mr. Gordon was the person knocking, so I tried to keep my eyes shut and ignore the sound. But the knocking continued. So, I had to drag myself down the stairs and open the door. It surprised me to see Jasmine smiling with two cups of coffee in her hands. “Good morning, sheriff,” she said. “I figured you'd still be asleep, so I brought you coffee.”“Oh, Jasmine, this is all sweet,” I said. “But you don't have to worry about me.”“What am I supposed to do, then?” she asked. “You don't want me to go to school. You don't want me to go to Abby’s house, you don't want Abby to see me. I'm not exactly occupied right now.”“Okay, come in,” I said. “For a moment. I need to get to work.”She nodded and handed me a cup of coffee as I made way for her to enter the house. “Your house is back to normal!” she exclaimed as she sat on a couch. “Did they also bring your wife and daughter b

TREVOR{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}“Goodbye, Trevor Coleman. Thank you for your service to Jericho.” I kept staring at the note on the door and thinking of how I let Abby down. I shouldn't have let them take her. I should've fought while I could see them. But I didn't, and it haunted me as I stared at the note, I wondered if I would see her again. “West view!” Jacob exclaimed. “That's where their primary base is. And Ashley mentioned they wanted to move. So, they must be at West view.”I felt a glimmer of hope that we could rescue her. “West view?” I asked. “It would take us about 14 hours at 70MPH.”“It doesn’t have to take that long,” he said. “Ashley, Kelvin, and Molly left for West view this morning. I took them on a helicopter and brought it back.”I tried to digest the information before speaking. So, I withheld all the questions I had to ask regarding the helicopter and said. “We should use the helicopter tomorrow morning to go to West view.”“Not so fast,” he said.

ASHLEY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}…. “And they have Henry Luther in their custody.”A few days ago, my parents were the Chesterfields. Abby and I were just teenagers, and I never knew about a town called Westview. How fast things change. “I didn’t know he was still alive!” Jacob exclaimed. “I thought they killed both my parents.”“He’s in the red chapel,” Kelvin said. “I was one of the people who kidnapped him when I was with the shadow clan. So, I’m certain that he’s alive. They want to use him and Ashley for the blood moon sacrifice.”I stared in silence as they spoke. I had never asked Jacob about our parents, and we hadn’t discussed the fact that we were siblings.“Westview must be a very eventful place,” the sheriff tittered. “The shadow clan has a chapel there for their sacrifices. And Jericho’s primary base is also there.”“Here’s what we’re going to do,” Molly demanded. “We would head to Westview this morning on the helicopter. Once we get there, we go after the sh

ASHLEY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}“I've never seen teenagers being interested in the green chapel,” the sheriff {of Westview} said. “So why did you come to Westview to see the chapel?”I shook my head. “I didn't really come here for the carnival, nor did I come to see the green chapel,” I said. “But I can't tell you why I'm here. It's a long story.”“If you were certain that your surname was Luther instead of Chesterfield, I would've asked if you were familiar with Henry Luther,” he smirked. “But I suppose you don't know him.”I felt a shock wave across my body as I heard his name. I wasn't used to hearing it yet. “What do you know about Henry Luther?” I asked. “How do you know him?”“Well,” he said. “First of all, I know he's not human…”“Yes, he's a werewolf,” I interjected. “What else do you know about him?”“I know he had twins who got abducted by scientists about 17 years ago,” he said. “And I know their names were Abby and Ashley.”“Yes, I'm Ashley. I'm his daughter,”

ABBY{Friday, new beginnings}The sunrise had never been as beautiful as it was when I woke up. Ashley and my parents agreed last night to stay in Lockwood since I would rather not move with them to Westview, so it was a breath of fresh air to wake up to the sound of Ashley snoring, as it was before Project Jericho made its way to Lockwood. Trevor and I also got a chance to talk after Blake left the town. So, as I woke up that morning, I woke up as Trevor's girlfriend, and he, my boyfriend. A new beginning for both of us.I was pissed that I still had those werewolf genes in me, though I was glad I wouldn't have to worry about Mr. Gordon anymore. My dad and I finally talked last night about how being a werewolf was when he was growing up. He asked me not to view the wolf as an entirely different being, but as an extension of myself or an alter ego, if I preferred. He said the only way to tame it was to become one with it. So, when I slept last night, I saw the wolf in my dream.
Twin Souls Chapter 62
ABBY{Thursday, 6 days after the blood moon}It would've been foolish to think Mr. Gordon would leave without a fight, and I wasn't a fool. Neither was Molly. I would've preferred it if Mr. Gordon took out the wolf genes from my body as he did my sister before they made him leave, but Molly wasn't keen on listening to anyone. She believed I would find a way to control the wolf, a way to speak to it and tame it. But I didn't think so. Even if the wolf could be tamed, I didn't know if I wanted to. Taming it would mean constantly carrying it in me, fighting to suppress it every day, every night, and every full moon. How long could I keep up with that? I wondered. How long till the wolf refuses to be suppressed? How long until I became a monster?“Abby? Are you okay?” Blake asked as he gently stroked my arm. “Just a little tense,” I sighed. “Molly should be back by now. They should all be back.”“Speak of the devil,” Blake grinned as the sheriff's car approached, leading a convoy of

ASHLEY{Thursday, 6 days after the blood moon}I was woken by the unsettling sound of someone wheezing beside me, and I noticed something which felt like a pipe in my throat as I opened my eyes. Peter removed the Venturi mask on my face and carefully pulled out a tube from my mouth as he struggled to stop himself from wheezing. I coughed and gasped for air as I tried to stand up, and Peter rubbed my back to ease the cough. Apart from the sound of both of us coughing, three beeping monitors were in the room. Some of the monitors were connected to my arm with wires I just pulled out, and there were wires on Peters's bed. He must've removed them from his arm before I woke up. “Are you okay?” Peter asked, still wheezing. “Breathe,” he said. “Just breathe.”“What's going on?” I asked, darting around the room. We must've been unconscious for a while, seeing as I could barely remember a thing. “We need to get out of here,” he said. “This is about the time they come to sedate us. We nee

ABBY{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}I could barely hear the drumming over the sound of my heart beating loudly in my ears. Trevor stood with Omari as I entered the circle to meet Blake, and I saw the fear in his eyes as he looked at me, even after I said I trusted him. Omari howled, and everyone followed as the full moon emerged from the clouds. I saw Blake pull a dagger out of his jacket pocket, and I felt my muscles expanding and my bones shifting. My vision blurred, and everything around me seemed red as I fought within myself to remain in control. For an instant, it seemed as though everything moved in slow motion, and I was a spectator rather than an actor. It felt like I was watching my body take form and move without me being able to control it.Blake took off his jacket as his fingers turned to claws, and lunged at me with the dagger, cutting me on my arm and pushing me to the ground. He wasn't fazed by how quickly I got back up, and I didn't feel pain from th
Twin Souls Chapter 59
BLAKE{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}I glanced at all the rooms in the base through the monitors, and I was amazed at how lightly guarded they were, as opposed to how it was before the blood moon. My dad, unconscious, was in one room, Ashley and Peter in another. The Chesterfields were in the hallway, arguing about something, and... My eyes widened as I saw Henry Luther and his wife in another room with Venturi tubes on their faces. “Yes,” Mr. Gordon grinned, noticing the shock on my face. “It's going to be a big family reunion tomorrow,” he said. “Abby and her parents, you, and your dad. Everyone would be happy in the end. Don’t you think?”What did I think? Well, he didn’t know what was coming. “I’ll bring them tomorrow,” I muttered. “And my dad better be in good shape.”“Not you won’t,” he grinned. “You see, I don’t trust you, Blake. Stay in your house, and I’ll send your dad to you once I see Abby and Trevor. If I don’t see them in my base tomorrow, and I have to find

MOLLY{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}“Well, we didn’t have to wait too long to meet again,” Abby grinned as I entered the house. “We didn’t,” I tittered and looked away.I wish I could’ve stayed away, but the thought of the Gordons still breathing didn’t sit right with me. Abby beamed as she stared at me. My presence must’ve been somewhat comforting to her. She needed a distraction to take her mind off the elephant in the room, or rather, the wolf in her body, but I wasn’t there to give her comfort. I clarified it for Blake as much as it was clear to me that the only reason I was in Lockwood was for vengeance. As I looked at Trevor behind Abby, I envied them because I knew they could still have their whole love story when the issue with Project Jericho was over. If they wanted. Abby could even have Blake if she wanted to, but who did I have? What did I have apart from vengeance to keep my heart pumping? I had nothing. Nothing at all. I didn’t tell Blake what my mom saw
Twin Souls Chapter 57
BLAKE{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}The only thing worse than losing a loved one is losing another, knowing you could've prevented it. I wish I could’ve done more for Kelvin before he died, but even in his last moments, I was busy carrying Abby and caring so much about her well-being instead of him. We fought each other a lot in this lifetime. Him joining the shadow clan, and me, remaining in the pack. But watching him die was difficult, knowing it wasn't one of Molly's illusions. When I accepted Kelvin’s death, I knew that the only family I had left was my dad. So I had to get him back, no matter what.As I drove down to the Lockwood signpost to wait for Molly, I knew I wanted nothing more than to leave Lockwood behind and everything in it. My feelings for Abby aside, I had nothing else to do in that town. And loving her wouldn't compensate for how miserable I felt. Molly and I had already agreed that the only thing we had to do in Lockwood was to find my dad and ave
Twin Souls Chapter 56
ABBY{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}Perhaps it wasn't so bad to be loved by more than one person, and maybe it's not outrageous to love them back. Blake and Trevor were very divergent people. Different views, different interests, and different ways of expressing themselves. The ever-erratic Blake, and the calm, collected Trevor. One, an Alpha werewolf. The other, a normal teenager. It worried me that I would come to a point where I had to choose between them because I knew what my decision might’ve been.Perhaps if I wasn't so good at being loved, I wouldn't have had to decide in the first place. “Let's get you back to the house before Omari sends his goons after us,” Blake sighed as he turned on the car and steered it into the road. “Molly has mastered control over her wolf instincts, and I can't remember the last time she turned. Maybe she could help you with that when she arrives:”I didn't know if I wanted to tame the wolf as much as I wanted to get rid of it, but I h
Twin Souls Chapter 55
ABBY{Wednesday, 5 days after the blood moon}I was terrified by the dark thing that slept in me as I struggled to wake up. I saw myself running in the woods from a wolf with green eyes like mine, but I couldn't get far before it caught up with me. I was scared when the wolf turned human and approached me because I was standing face-to-face with myself. Other werewolves were one with their wolf, but the wolf in me had a mind of its own. The last thing I saw before walking up was Xavier, covered in blood on the ground and begging me to stop.When I opened my eyes, I saw Omari sitting on my bed with a strange bottle and glass of water. “Good morning, Abby,” he grinned as he gave me the glass. “How do you feel?I finished the water in a single gulp and tried to get up, but a sharp pain in my head stopped me. “What happened?” I asked as I lay back on the bed. “I don't remember falling asleep.”“Do you remember almost killing my son?” he asked. Not accusingly, nor did he sound angered. H
