All Chapters of Twin Souls: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ABBY{Saturday, a day after the blood moon}The silence was deafening. … ====°====…The FBI was waiting at the Lockwood signpost to arrest Mr. Gordon and the Chesterfields when we arrived. The rest of us went to a house on the outskirts of the town, where the sheriff's family and Jasmine were waiting for us.I was numb when I saw Jasmine. She ran towards us with a wide grin and squeezed Ashley and me in a bear hug, but we didn't smile back. We couldn't even fake it. There was nothing to smile about.Molly remained in the car, sobbing quietly and avoiding eye contact, while Jacob left with his pack.Trevor walked past me with a dour expression and dried up tears on his face. He avoided my gaze as we entered the sheriff's car and headed to Tiffany's house to break the news. The horrific image of Tiffany staring into my eyes in her last moments might never leave my mind. Before she gasped for air the last time, I saw the look on her face. And it haunted me. Me, her best friend's sister.

ABBY{Monday, 3 days after the blood moon}“You may ignore me. You may hide from me. But you won’t be able to avoid me. What chance do you stand against Kismet? I’m coming for you, Abby. We are bound to each other,” Anthony Gordon whispered as he appeared in my dream.I woke up with goosebumps over my body, and my heart was racing as I tried to catch my breath. Ashley and my mom were asleep beside me, so I tried to manage my breathing to avoid waking them. But the image of Anthony Gordon emerging from flames was too scary. So, I ran to the bathroom, washed my face, and threw up. I sniffled in between deep breaths as I attempted to compose myself. Seeing any of the Gordons was enough to ruin a person’s day. It ruined my day.… ====°====…I didn't see myself running through the forest in my dreams anymore. I didn't feel an unusual hunger or rage. I didn't feel superhuman strength. Nor did I have heightened senses. It appeared that I wasn't a werewolf anymore. That must be what they tra

ABBY{Monday, 3 days after the blood moon}Trevor’s face, which had frequently been emotionless since the blood moon finally showed some emotion as he stared at me. He showed remorse. “I’m sorry for blaming you for Tiffany’s death,” he said. “It was too much on me. But I know it wasn’t easy for you either. So, I’m sorry. Tiffany was my first love. Seeing you put a sword through her stomach just… it messed with my mind.”“Well, you were my first love,” I retorted. “And if seeing me stab her messed with your mind, imagine what it did to me, having to be continually reminded that I killed her. I don’t need your pity, nor do I need an apology from you, Trevor. Just leave me alone.”“I understand if you want to avoid speaking to me, and I’m sorry,” he said. “But there’s something really important I need to tell you.”“Well, there’s somewhere really important I need to go right now,” I said and turned to walk away.“It’s about Blake,” he said. “There’s something you need to know about Blak

ABBY{Tuesday, 4 days after the blood moon}Blake left the school before the teachers could enter the cafeteria. The boys from the football team took Trevor to Lockwood General Hospital. And the sheriff came to the school to pick me up because Jasmine called him to say I was having a concussion. I wasn’t.“Did you see Anthony again?” The sheriff asked as I entered the front passenger seat of his car, and Jasmine got in the back.“Yes,” I said. “It was worse this time. I think he might be close to Lockwood. We need to do something about him.”“Xavier is at the station waiting for us,” the sheriff said. “But before we get there, what happened between Blake and Trevor? I heard Trevor was messed up pretty bad.”“Trevor claimed he knew something about Blake,” I sighed. “And Blake didn’t want me to hear about it. So, they got into a fight.”“I don’t understand how you don’t see Blake as a bad influence,” the sheriff scoffed. “I don’t understand how you don’t see him as a bad person in gener

ASHLEY {Tuesday, 4 days after the blood moon}West view… The air felt different from the air in Lockwood. The silence was so peaceful. The views were magical. The people were almost invisible because they knew how to mind their business. The rowdiness we met when I came to Westview the last time was not how it was when we arrived last night. The festival was over and everyone retired to their homes, it seemed like a ghost town. Unlike Lockwood, you could barely see someone walking on the streets. I finally had time to cover my face with a pillow and cry as I woke up. I couldn't cry about Tiffany's death before Abby because it seemed unfair to her. She already felt guilty about Tiffany's death, and my tears would've worsened it. But Tiff was my best friend. It shattered my heart to accept the reality of her death. “Hey, Ash. Are you okay?” My mom asked as she entered the room. “I'm fine-- it's just-- jus--- I'm…” I broke down in tears before I could finish the sentence.She sat
