Thy Darkness Within

EPISODE 8

John was looking at Holly who was driving, “so…” “So?” “I’m grateful and all but mind telling me how you found me?” the car came to a halt as Holly turned to him, “my phone.”

“what about it?” “I have a tracker to enable me to find it in case of theft”, “I didn’t… I borrowed it ok!” “yeah sure” as she said that she stretched out her hand causing John to look down at her hand in confusion “hand it over”. “oh yeah sure”, John proceeded to hand over the phone, after making sure everything was alright Holly directed the conversation back to the topic at hand.

“So…” “…” “you’re brother’s the vampire! He is the one responsible for all the murders.”

“He…he is not in the right state of mind.”

“Of course he isn’t! What part of killing people do you not understand!”

“just let me talk to him one more time. Maybe I can convince him”

“what if you can’t then what?”

“We will cross that bridge when we get there. Now any ideas on how to find him.”

“well how did you find him the first time?” hearing that John came up with an idea, he decided to rely on his new enhanced senses. John closed his eyes remembering the smell he got when he faced his brother, then began to search for that scent. After a few minutes John opened his eyes “found him”.

Meanwhile Lindsey had gathered all her men, the death of one of their own had set them off. “you all know what we are dealing with. “This monster came into our town and killed our people, one of our own and know there is another one. I don’t know about you but I don’t want any monsters running around my town.”

“we had a hint, we know where this thing is lets go” “indeed lets” at this point twelve guys appeared with shotguns. Lindsey turned to have a good look at them, they were all standing in some formation. Lindsey was confused as to who they were but just as she was about to ask, she received a call. “what. Why. Fine.” She took another look at them, the call from the mayor revealed who they were, members of his private army.

“I don’t care who you are, where you’re from but when you are here with me you do what I say we clear.” “actually…” “we clear?” Lindsey gave them a look, daring them to speak “good.” She spoke once she saw they were done speaking.

John and Holly soon arrived at where Jay’s trail came to an end. “oh no” “why what’s wrong?” “we can’t go in there” “why not?” “we just can’t”.

Holly gave him a ‘really’ look, she then got out and grabbed her g*n.  “wait what, where did you get that? What are you going to do with that?” John was confused when she pulled out her g*n, “don’t worry its not even filled with real bullets.” John still kept his glare “look its either we get to him or the police do and I’m pretty sure when they get here they are going to be on a shoot first ask questions later policy.”

After a few minutes of deliberation John decided to get out of the car as well, looking at the woods where he met his nightmare, where all this began he took in a deep breath and headed in.

The woods were silent without even the sounds of crickets, “so. Are you going to tell me why you were so against coming here?” Holly asked as they were walking through the woods. The images of the wolf like creature flashed through his head once more, “its nothing” “you sure because it seemed like something”.

“what’s wrong?” “look I said I don’t want to talk about this any… watch out!” John pushed her out of the way right on time. Jay turned to them, fangs and all “Jay snap out of it. I know what’s going on is scary but people are coming Jay. YOU. NEED. TO. SNAP. OUT. OF.THIS!” Jay responded with a hiss then charged straight at them “guess the talks over.” Holly fired of a few shots but Jay was too fast and disappeared into the woods.

“After him”, they chased after him *bang*  suddenly gunshots were heard John sped up weaving through the trees. Soon he saw two guys with guns aimed at his brother. John jumped slashing his claws through one of them, his attack drew attention from the other but before he could shoot he fell. Looking behind him, John saw Holly with her g*n “fake bullets huh”, just as he was about to say another word, he saw the flash lights appearing in the distance.

“we got to go”, John went supporting Jay who was out of it. They escaped right on time. Lindsey and her officers caught only a glimpse of them before they disappeared.

Lindsey saw two of the mayor’s men down, “Eric, Tom. Damn it” one of the surviving mayor’s men  rushed to his two  comrades . “one of them is alive,” Lindsey decided to stop him “there is no need for this. The two of you send this two away the rest of you with me.”
