All Chapters of Incognito : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

HeistDescending the narrow, dimly lit staircase. I couldn’t shake the feeling of anticipation coursing through me. The lab, buried deep beneath the facility, always had an aura of mystery, but today it seemed particularly charged with promise. Each step echoed off the cold, concrete walls, amplifying the silence and my excitement.I clutched my note book tighter, my fingers brushing against the cool metal of the rail. The new creature they found was unlike anything we’d ever encountered-a true enigma, defying classification. Though it was dead, the prospect of studying it’s remains sent a thrill through me. What secrets lay waiting in the depths below ?As I reached the bottom, the heavy door loomed ahead, a gateway to revelation. Taking a deep breath, I pushed it open, and the sterile smell of antiseptic and faint hum of machinery greeted me. The lab was a contrast to the eerie staircase- a pristine world of white coats, bright lights, and advanced technology. My company had a bit o

Incognito BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!I hit the alarm angrily and groggily reached for my phone to silence it. Rubbing my eyes, I begrudgingly swung my legs out of bed, annoyed at the early hour. Another day, another battle with the alarm clock.I went to the living room to confirm that everything that happened last night was not just a dream. Speaking of dreams, I didn’t get my reoccurring dream of that forest in Transylvania. Lucky me.I found out that Claud had discovered TV. He was just watching random Channels. Just like actual wolves, he learns fast.“Good morning.”“Good morning too?”“Yeah that’s pretty much right”“Did you know that there are tiny people in this box?” Claud was really excited to share his discovery with me. They keep doing things inside that box to make us happy. How do you feed them?”“Again Claud,” I said “They are not in that box. They were filmed, and are not in that box. They were filmed, so now they are just playing the recording of that film.”“So I can’t feed

New TruthsMy whole life flashed before my eyes. This can’t be how I’ll die. I haven’t even kissed a guy yet, I haven’t been to San Francisco, I haven’t sky dived yet. There’s a lot I haven’t done yet. Come on Claud, wake up. Protect me. Please? I’ll buy you all the ice cream you want if I survive. Just as she was about to stab me with her nails, Claud came from nowhere and speared her away from me. You know, the kind of spear wrestlers do when they want to dispatch their opponent quickly.“What’s wrong with you, Claud?” His mom asked. “Has all that time you spent dead make you forget that you don’t stand a chance against me?”“I know you’re stronger, faster and maybe even smell better than me currently.” Claud said. Weird choice of words but if it saves my life, who am I to complain. “But…?” Mrs. Tara asked obviously expecting his speech to end better than that “Nah, that’s it.”“You were never good at motivational speeches.” Mrs. Tara said. “But I would not want to send you back t

The hunt beginsI got to the forest and started using my hunting skills to tracks down Stacie. I was navigating the forest like a tiger – stealthy and extremely quiet. You could not even hear me breathe. I soon got to a clearing, in the midst of it stood an ancient looking stone altar with it’s surface covered with strange glowing runes. Stacie was tied; hands and feet with her eyes blindfolded directly beside the stone altar. Surprisingly there was no sign of any werewolf at the scene. Maybe I should have called my mom for help. I stood there in the shadows, calculating my next line of action.After some minutes of contemplation, I decided to take the risk and attempt rescuing her, I went in with speed and caution. I knelt in front of her and then untied her hands and removed her blindfold. Because of the fear she was Feeling before now and the relief after she felt after seeing me, she hugged me and kissed me briefly before she started sobbing and punching me.“What took you so long

The Hunt Begins III It was still late at night, the moon, a thin crescent casting a ghostly pallor over the silent city streets. Claud moved with effortless stealth, his steps silent as he navigated the labyrinth of rooftops and fire escapes. His senses heightened, attuned to every sound and scent that whispered through the urban landscape. The air carried the faintest hint of impending rain, mingling with the sharp tang of metal and concrete. Finding a vantage point high above the city, Claud settled onto the edge of a weathered rooftop. From this perch, he had a commanding view of the abandoned warehouse district below. His eyes scanned the scene meticulously, searching for any sign of movement or disturbance. In the distance, beyond the city’s edge, lay the outskirts where the forest stretched its dark fingers into the urban sprawl. Below, in the shadowy recesses of the warehouse district, Claud glimpsed movement-dark shapes darting between buildings with predatory grace. The
