Thy Darkness Within

EPISODE 4

In the midst of town an area was sealed of by the police. Earlier in the morning a person had made a call to the police telling them about the dead bodies. The police had arrived to discover seven dead bodies, mutilated as though by an animal. The police declared the deaths to be the result of an animal attack but they knew better.

Close to the bodies a woman was squatting by the bodies inspecting them closely her uniform made clear her identity, she was a police officer and not just any officer but the town sheriff of the town her name was Lindsey Park. Lindsey got up ordering her officers to cover the body as she moved away , after moving a certain distance she took out her phone and made a call.

“Hello” the person answered the call, “I just had a look at the bodies and I don’t think it was the coven” Lindsey spoke and there was a short pause “…you don’t think…” “yeah it seems we have a new player in town and from the look of things they might even be of the fanged variety.” “Are you sure?” “the bodies might have been mutilated but it could not hide the fact that every one of the bodies was devoid of blood.” “ I’ll organize a council meeting,” “I’ll be there” Lindsey ended the call and looked into a certain alley, she had the feeling she was being watched but she couldn’t find anyone causing her to leave.

Unbeknownst to her a head popped up from behind a trashcan, the figure taking out their phone to take a few pictures of some bodies before they were covered. When they were to leave they heard some officers speaking “apparently the kids were at a party last night and they aren’t the only ones to go missing”, “ you don’t think…” “ hopefully they are just missing.” After hearing their conversation the figure escaped with a bag.

Back at the school.

John was getting nervous he originally had the idea to tell Caleb but he didn’t believe, heck he didn’t believe himself. John was also worried about Jay, Jay might have acted like he was some rebel but upon all the other things he did he never skipped a day of school, but he hadn’t seen him he whole day mot to mention Kennedy said he disappeared around ten last night and that did not help to reduce his anxiety considering those weird had happened at the exact same time last night.

John was walking down the halls lost in thought, he began to feel his body heating up not looking at where he was going he bumped into someone sending them to the ground. John looked down to see the person he knocked down was a girl with dark brown hair, brown eyes with caramel skin dressed in her gray hoodie and blue jeans, for some reason John picked up a scent from her she smelt a bit like honey along with cinnamon. “A little help?” her voice drew him out of his thoughts and e moved to help her up to her feet.

“Sorry I was…. I was kind of lost in my thoughts “ He apologized seeing as it was his fault , “I saw “ she smiled at him accepting his apology. “ I’m John. John Ashwood” John introduced himself whilst stretching out his hand for a handshake, she took his hand and gave out her name “Holly, Holly Fraiser.” “So… are you new or?” “ not really I’m in your history class actually” “ oh so you…” “yep, don’t worry people don’t notice me it’s kind of my thing.” They smiled at each other and John momentarily forgot the weird things happening when Chad came from no where and placed him in a headlock.

Chad was the resident bully, he normally stayed away from John because of Jay but, when the cat is away the mice will play. “ well. Well. Well, what do we have here it seems your brother isn’t here to protect you today is he?” his goons were laughing as he tightened his hold on John but at that moment, something snapped…. The heat returned and as though a beast let out of it’s cage, John attacked. John flipped Chad into a Locker with such ease the people around doubted their eyes, he proceeded to slam his knee into Chad’s face with such ferocity a tooth was let loose, it was at this moment his friends decided to step in but that was a mistake, as in a few seconds they lay sprawled on the ground with a few broken bones.

The entire hallway was silent as everyone was still stunned about what happened taking this as his opportunity he grabbed his stuff and made a mad dash for the window and jumped out, everyone rushed to the window and jumped out, everyone rushed to the window but the scene they saw was a scene none of them were expecting. John had jumped out of a window from the second floor and was running without so much as a scratch.

Holly on the other hand was more stunned she was closer to John through out the entire event clearly, John moved with such ease it was… beautiful but what was even more stunning was his eyes. His eyes were a bright gold color and he seemed to be even growling. At this point only one thought was in Holly’s head “just who are you John Ashwood, what are you?”
