Roger is racing down the free at high speed, trying to get to the nearest hospital. Jason is in the passenger seat of the vehicle, blood is flowing from his abdomen and his mouth. Jason can hardly keep his eyes open and drifts in and out of consciousness "Stay with me, Jason!" Roger is driving erratically and struggles to stay in his lane as he looks over at Jason, trying to keep him awake. He gets to the hospital and pulls Jason out of the car. "Someone help! my friend is dying!" Some nurses rush out with a bed and they lay Jason on it and push him into the hospital and straight to an emergency room. Roger is stopped from following them into the emergency room. Roger is clearly disturbed by the events that happened earlier and paces up and down the waiting area of the hospital. "I need to call Jessica." Roger takes out his phone and dials Jessica's number. "Hi, Jessica." "Hi Roger, is everything ok? You sound upset." "I'm here at the hospital." "Oh no! are you ok?" "It's not me it'
It's been two weeks since Jason was discharged from the hospital. He is recovering from his injury and has used the time to read the old books in uncle Ivan's basement, opening his eyes to the world of the unnatural and ancient knowledge used by hunters before him. It's late in the evening, he is sitting in a chair at home reading one of the books. His phone rings, Jason looks at the screen and sees that it's uncle Ivan. He has been avoiding Uncle Ivan's calls ever since being discharged from the hospital. He doesn't know how to tell him that he doesn't want to be a hunter anymore and uncle Ivan shouldn't contact him anymore. Jason knows that uncle Ivan won't take the news easily and it could lead to a physical altercation. He decides it's now or never, he needs to get it off his chest tonight. He answers the phone. "Jason my boy, where have you been hiding. I have been trying to get a hold of you, Anna, and Viktor. It's like you all fell off the face of the earth these last few wee
Roger finds himself in a dark forest with tall trees all around him. The sky is covered with dark clouds and lightning lights up the sky along with loud rumbles of thunder. "Jessica!" Roger is panicked and is blinded by strong wind and leaves blowing into his face. "How did I get here? and where is Jessica?" Roger runs through the forest, it's so dark he can hardly see two steps in front of him. Suddenly he hears the screams of a terrified woman coming from a distance, it's Jessica "Help! Roger! Help me!" Roger runs in the direction of Jessicas voice calling out to her. "Jessica, where are you?!" roger blindly follows Jessica's voice in the pitch-black darkness of the forest and sees her laying on the forest floor with a gaping wound in her side. The blood is gushing from the wound and Jessica is reaching out to Roger and screaming in a high-pitched voice. Roger runs towards Jessica horrified at the sight that he is seeing. "Jessica!" as he gets close to her a large wolf suddenly ap
Roger is sitting in Jason's living room and he is trying to reach out to Aiden telepathically. "Aiden, are you there? answer me!" The sound in the room fades away and there is perfect silence, suddenly Aiden's voice pops into his head."To what do I owe this surprise contact?" "We need to talk Aiden, I am tired of living like this, we are ending this!" "And how do plan on, ending this?" "I am challenging you to fight me once and for all." "No, it doesn't work like that, I tell you who you will be fighting. Not the other way round." "Are you afraid to face me?" "You are just another insignificant insect I will dispose of as soon as I grow tired of you, I fear you? that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard." "We can make it interesting, why don't you make it a tournament and give me a few obstacles to get to you. You will have me in a weakened state." "I still have 4 highborn in my pack and they are dying to get a piece of you, let me think about it." Roger loses contact with
A young man is sitting in a dimly lit restaurant at a table. He is dressed in a suit and tie and across from him is a beautiful woman. She is wearing a shimmering black dress with a deep neckline revealing her ample cleavage. There is live classical jazz music playing in the background. The young woman looks at the man and nervously whispers"David, I really didn't think you would come tonight?" The man reaches across the table and holds the lady's hand. " I would never have missed this moment for the world Tessa, you are so much more beautiful in person, we have been chatting for a few weeks and I really couldn't wait any longer to be in your company." "I really couldn't wait either, you are so much more handsome as well, I can't believe a handsome millionnaire like yourself would agree to go out with a regular girl like me." "you are not just a regular girl, you are beautiful and smart, I have had the most stimulating conversations with you. I hope the night doesn't have to end aft
Jason and Tessa make their way carefully back to the parking area at the edge of the forest where Ralph and Stuart are waiting for Cameron to return from his hunt. They are standing in the headlights of the car that Tessa arrived in. "Ralph, do you think Aiden will be ok with you turning that guy without telling him?" Ralph rushes up to Stuart angrily. "Aiden might be the leader of the pack but he doesn't tell me what to do!" Stuart steps back and looks down at his feet in fear, he knows Ralph could kill him without a second thought. "I know, I'm just saying Aiden might want to know if there are new pack members." "Aiden does not need to know yet, we can turn a few more highborn, and then they can decide if they want Aiden as their pack leader or if I should lead them." "Are you talking about taking over the whole pack?" "Maybe, are you going to run off and tell Aiden?" " No, but you should be careful, Aiden will kill us if he even suspects he is going to be betrayed."
Jessica and Roger are walking on the beach hand in hand. It's a beautiful sunny day with not a single cloud in the sky. Jessica stares at Roger as he watches the waves crashing onto the beach. She thinks about what they had to go through to get to this moment and how happy she is now. She thinks about how much she loves the man standing next to her and that there is nothing she would not do to spend her life with him. Roger turns to look at Jessica and she smiles back at him. "You are so beautiful right now Jessica, with the sun shining onto your face. you really take my breath away." Roger leans in to kiss her. " You're quite a handsome man yourself and I love you so much." "I love you too and I wish we could just stay in this moment forever."Jessica and Roger make their way back to Jessica's penthouse, at the penthouse, Roger heads to the fridge and ours himself a glass of juice. Jessica sits on the couch and asks Roger. "So could we go over your suicidal plan once again t
Roger makes his way to Jason's home. He can't stop thinking about his mother and the last time he saw her. Suddenly his mind is invaded by Aiden. "Roger my good friend, you have been quiet these last few days. I think it's time for another round." "Where and when?" Aiden is taken aback by Roger's aggressive tone. " "Thursday morning 3 am, at the stadium construction site. Be prepared to take on another highborn, here is some incentive for you. If you beat him, you get to face me in our final fight." "You robbed me of a life with my family Aiden, for that you will die!" "I gave you a better life, you are more than just a fragile bag of blood living an insignificant life. You are immortal!" "You never gave me a choice, you should have just killed me! instead of making me another player in your sick games!" Roger is visibly infuriated as he screams at the top of his lungs while driving his car. he starts to pick up speed and races down the freeway with little regard for the other cars
The sky is dark above with stars piercing the darknes like holes in a napkin. Below little cottages are lit by candle light and two 10 year old boys are playing outside, chasing each other in a game of tag. A woman's voice calls out from inside a cottage. "Aiden!, Nicholas, don't run off too far, the woods are really dark." Aiden runs over to the front door of the cottage. "Dont worry mom, we wont." Nicholas comes rushing towards Jasper with hands stretched out towards him. "Im going to get you Jasper!" They both laugh out loudly as Nicholas chases Aiden. Aiden loses track of his whereabouts and runs further and further away from the cottage towards the dark forrest. As Aiden gets closer to the edge of the forrest the tal trees block the light from the moon and the stars.Nicholas looks up at the untimidating trees and becomes afraid. "Aiden we should go back home, we told mom we wouldnt go too far!" Aiden turns back and as he calls out to Nicholas a large, hair
"Are you guys ready?" Jason turns to Ava a nd Roger, he grabs the Jericho pistol and loads it with the specail bullets. "How many wolves are there?" Ava runs over to the windo and looks outside its too dark to really see but I see a whole lot of glowing eyes, maybe 12 or 14." "I have 6 bullets in this pistol, I'll take out as many as i can before we get up close to them. Roger were you able to get that backup?" "Roger I made a few calls I just hope they come through." "I think its too late for hope, the war is on our doorstep." "Jason just make sure you dont take out Aiden with that weapon, leave him to me."The gang step outside into the darkness, the temperature has dropped signifficantly since sunset. Ava can visibly see the white vapour of cold air leaving her mouth. The flock of floating glowing eyes move in closer to them. The reality of the moment hits Jason as he can clearly see they are outnumbered.Jessica is at her mother's home, she is helping h
Jason steps back from his uncle, he has a startled look on his face. "Uncle you dont have to do this, we are blood!" Uncle Ivan calmly lets go of his arm. "I'm sorry my boy, you are very important to me and I love you like a son, but the order comes first and if I dont report you and the order finds out I will be killed along with you and all that you love." Jason reaches fr the door, he opens it and steps outside. He looks back at Ivan and walks quickly towards the waiting car. Roger sees him coming and starts the engine. As jason gets in he looks over at Ava, she can see something is not right and asks him. "Is everything Ok Jason?" "Everythings fine, lets go the sun is getting low." They make their way to Jason's father's wine farm.The team makes their way to the wine farm, the drive is quiet as they all quietly reflect on their lives up until this moment. Roger's mind drifts into thought as he watches the road ahead of him, he thinks about Jessica and the moments they sh
Come inside my boy, whats this about wolves coming to the winelands? Its true uncle Ivan, there is a pack of highborn, im not sure howmany on their way to kill me. I'm just here to grab some weapons and herbs and ill be far away to keep you out of danger." The sun is still high sit down, let me make you a cup of coffee first." Jason looks at his uncle with a confused look on his face, " Does he not get the danger that we are in? or does he not care?"Uncle Ivan comes back out of the kitchen with two mugs of coffee and signals Jason to sit down on the couch and hands him a cup. "You should have called me earlier and I could have had a few hunters from the order to help slaughter those animals. I'm not the young man that I used to be or else I could have been in the mix with you. Do you know how many battles I have been in over the years? I cant even count. I remember once we found a village filled with Fae in the Siberian rural country." Ivan has a smile on his face as h
Roger is driving as fast as he can in his way to Jason's place. He thinks to himself "I need to get hold of Jason, Aiden is planning to kill us all tonight, I managed to hide Jessica for a while but I am tired of running. I want a life for me an Jssica where can walk freely without ooking over our shoulders and that wilol only hapen when Aiden is dead. He dails Jason's number and while driving at an incredible speed on the freeway. Jason picks up te phone, Roger screams into his ear "Get out of the house!" What are you saying?why?" Aiden just spoke to me, he is tired of wating and is sending his whole pack of highborn to wipe us out!" I have Ava with me where do we go?" "You cant take her home, you might lead them to her family, take her to your uncle's wine farm, he wont look for you there." " That is where he and the rest of his pack killed my parent's." "There is no other place for us to hide, he will eventually find us, i think its time for us to take a stand, now be
