In the dead of night of October , in the small town of Mill Creek silence lingered on that cool breeze evening . Nothing could be heard other than the eerie whistling of the trees whose branched and leaves moved in tune with the billowing wind. The crickets chirped , the small critters tending to their everyday routine ; the rabbits made their way into their Burrows , a snake hissed slithering as stealthy as possible trying to return to its home where it's eggs were waiting for her. A fox pounced in the woods trying to find it's dinner.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAVmE38XhtL4
Unbeknownst to the residents of Mill Creek , a loud cry of agony - a voice that clearly expressed immense pain tore through the forests where no one could hear.

"Scream all you want " Elias smirked , blue green eyes that appeared in day were bright red - the color of blood. Sharp canines were protruding from his gums. Canine teeth that resembled that of some carnivorous beast flashed bright on that dark night.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcuhVzted7D
43Please respect copyright.PENANAtdBDPTLE2g
"Please ....let me... go." The man said with a pleading sob , a large chunk of his neck had been torn out , blood was profusely escaping. Elias reviled in the sweet coppery smell of the red fluid - the ultimate elixir.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAezDEMFH91d
Dove whose mouth was smeared with blood walked towards the bleeding man , "you brought this on your self. I'm sorry ." She then pounced on him like a wild animal not stopping until he stopped moving. She ripped his entire mid section with her carnivorous fangs letting out a satisfied hum while feeding.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKol4Oyi9EM
Elias watches with a satisfied smirk as his sister didn't stop feasting on the carcass - Dove rarely went all out when it came to prey but right now she did look like the huntress she truly was. The Drak , their kind were hunters and predators in nature , even the other factions in Zenith knew they were the most lethal for a reason.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhhx2Eivwjb
"He definitely got on your nerves didn't he?" He asked smirk still intact.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAIMdyItUCEF
Dove's red eyes slowly reverted to that of her sparkling Amber ones looking like the angel she was even with the blood . No one could imagine that underneath her docile sweet face masked a very dangerous predator - the devil was an angel once too .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhIsM62jvpz
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMkuXnQkCjA
She wiped the blood with the sleeve of her jacket , "didn't like him much. He was too touchy."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAdnggSafrdA
43Please respect copyright.PENANA3wVSnTrncf
"I see that's why you tore his hands off first ,"Crystal said in a tone that sounded very amused while meticulously cleaning the traces of blood that had got onto her.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKhp0NsoWrD
"Give to Crystal McLain , " Elias applauded in an obvious fake tone , " the only Drak who could still be prim and proper while hunting ." His big sister just gave him one of her favorite death glares.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAPa0sr6RtYY
"It's called leaving no evidence behind you douche bag."
43Please respect copyright.PENANACNXSM8v3uv
Elias touched his chest fondly, "sis ,you wound me you know that."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5BI2OeuxAN
43Please respect copyright.PENANA63RhyzRk04
"If you two are done ," Dove looked at them like a disapproving parent , " can we go now. It's late and I'm tired and I don't want to be in this forest any longer "
43Please respect copyright.PENANATs7ZuCFVNH
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKv96wv3vuh
"She's right ," Crystal wiped her lips , the red blood eyes of their predatory nature slowly shifted away to display her deep brown calm eyes. Yet even with her natural eyes , Elias always noticed that she looked like the hunter she was - like they all were.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAzZbu4QGLb2
"Come on," Elias pretended to pout and smirked , his sharp fangs showing. "why do you always have to be a party pooper Crissie."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAUhbOmoLzwp
"We still need to get moving." She chided him ,"and don't call me Crissie."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcTvtbQWq5j
She always hated that stupid nick name and he fully well knew it but of course it would be out of character if her brother didn't get on her nerves. She turned to her little sister , "start their truck Dove."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAv2iGntZe5y
Dove scoffed and rolled her eyes , "what am I your servant" but she managed sure her cocky response was low too for Crystal to pick up.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z67iT3RSK
Dove wasn't the most vocal but even Elias knew making a remark to Crystal that too to her face never ended well for either of them. Apart from being the oldest , Crystal was the strongest amongst them even if it didn't look like it . Crystal being the oldest amongst loved to boss them around reminding them of the fact.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kp03RBPXQ
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcXgWp5oY4S
The blonde male then noticed one of their little meals slowly trudging trying to escape unnoticed. Elias smirked at his Sisters , "seems I need to take care of my course ."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMzUbtDbvR5
"Just hurry up ." Crystal nonchantly left following Dove .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7zJWDNXdV
Elias maintained his red eyes - the eyes that even terrified those in Zenith and in this human world . He knelt before the man feigning sympathy , " where do you think you're going Dennis." With all his strength he roughly yanked the man's hair
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhSPbwXa7Sw
"Please..please ," the human blabbered over and over , "let me go. I won't tell anyone anything please "
43Please respect copyright.PENANADRsgFEhCMG
"How come?" Elias feigned innocence , "you and your buddies seemed very eager to be close to my sisters and I when we asked for a ride. " Elias did not appreciate when human men thought they could try to be indecent with them.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA80ohRsrHsq
"You even hit on me , quite shamelessly - I thought we clicked ," the blonde pretended to be mad . "You think you know a guy " he shrugged nonchantly before deciding to grip the human's neck pressing enough pressure to break the wind pipe.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAxlb3wfr2RT
"Why ...are you ....doing this." Dennis choked tears in his eyes.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwC3D2nFPEv
"You ever heard of the food chain Dennis was it?" He ignored the guys pleading sobs , "you see you're at the bottom , very bottom " at least even the Aakin who didn't have any ounce of magic nor power were better than these powerless fools who walked this world.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAdUx7OkzI1J
"I'm a hunter , the most dangerous type there is , and those like you and your little friend over there ," he chuckled at the half eaten corpse across , "are prey - you are food. It's natural so no hard feelings Kay?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANACBUVKGtnDp
"What are you ?" Dennis sobbed , "you aren't humans."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAqmajJYSAnY
A sadistic grin made its way on Elias face - his fangs seemed to sharpen more they already were , eyes the color of blood "I would tell you but what's the point if you're going to die ."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAGBw9N0qJf
Elias sunk his fangs into the neck of his prey . He ignored the prey's screams that echoed throughout the woods. He then bit the prey's chest tearing a large chunk of flesh automatically killing the human. Elias didn't stop , he continued feeding on the corpse's flesh growling like a lion when it hums from sastification from a deer's meat .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMUJjPgHR1X
43Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZQYqXSWoa
Elias got info the truck of the men they had murdered and feasted on , Dove was in the driver's seat .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAlDs1fK3Zw
This was how they usually hunted - pretending to be hitch hikers neeci g a ride - it was the most convinent to catch prey. And with how gorgeous he and his sisters were ,it was very difficult for humans to resist falling into their traps - mainly the pervert dirty minded ones.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAu8QayzWlGb
" No fair Crissie , I didn't call shot gun and you're ready in the passenger seat." He complained with an eye roll that his sister ignored .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMV2fsy3VJV
"Ready?" Crystal asked while putting on the seat belt. Just because they were stronger and didn't get injured easily did not mean safety didn't matter.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAYhANduklwq
Elias smirked and licked the blood from his fingers , "let's get this show on the road."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKvccfU1ysY
Dove smiled and started the car , "to our new home."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAFBOnJJW7ak
They continued traveling in the dark early hours of that morning . The three were ready to venture into their new hunting location.

"Why do we have to go to high school?" Elias complained with an evident scowl on his face , " what are we the Cullens?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcMofF6vmur
"The Cullens are vampires - we aren't." Dove stated as a matter of fact clearing not getting the sarcasm. Their kind were not immortal (and not fictious) they only had long life spans , but she did agree with her brother because she wasn't into the whole repeating high school for eternity gig.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAEdPBdkG05V
The Golden blonde haired boy ignored her and focused on Crystal and continued ranting , "why would we go to school. A human high school for that matter"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAnDMgbCyZtP
"We need to lay low. It's not a freaking request Elias "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAoK1KjTqI2e
"No one tells me what to do." His eyes slowly started to redden and he saw Crystal’s turning as well.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAkZyl9xHzMm
"Okay don't fight you two ," Dove put herself in between them instantly getting into the middle sibling mode. " We just moved and I'm not in the mood to deal with the aftermath of your fights. I'm not constructing another room ." The glare the middle Drak gave the two was enough for them to calm down.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAT98dmdJe7j
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5h5LFc2YLc
"We have to stay low ." Crystal explained looking bored , "that means blending in with the humans here. You and Dove are the right age to be in high school" The eldest McLain never understood why her brother just couldn't go a day without getting on her buttons.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAdiTXC8OcqR
Elias let out a childish groan , "we never went to school in Boston , nor in Vegas so why start now."
43Please respect copyright.PENANArdLxZ4xBDT
Crystal looked at him like a teacher who was fed up with a student who kept repeating the same question over and over , "this is a small town if you haven't noticed. We teens to be inconspicuous as possible to blend in. So whether you like it or not you're going to school. And for goodness sake put on a shirt already!" She added as she left the room.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6fSU27Q8vx
Elias scowled even more and plopped into the sofa next to him wearing nothing but shorts, "I don't want to go to high school. Aren't online schools a thing or something "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAgS6XtqPaPO
Dove just shrugged and tried to be optimistic, "maybe it won't be so bad "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAV1qUpJFRq7
Elias looked at her as if she was stupid or something. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like it one bit.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAX9v1nQxKHF
*****
43Please respect copyright.PENANAsuyvjAJDtM
43Please respect copyright.PENANA2X5J5KirPi
Elias was really wishing he could rip Crystal's head off clean but unfortunately he was sure she would be faster in beheading him instead .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAw5SwuVSO7C
43Please respect copyright.PENANAfY63xipAl5
Barely eight minutes and he was loathing the school with pure passion. It was too noisy for his sensitive hearing , everyone was - human schooling seemed like being in the actual jungle . The infrastructure looked old and his ears were too sensitive for this
43Please respect copyright.PENANA3nhRjY2xBn
"Why is it so noisy?" He asked with evident disgust in his face - humans were always noisy for some reason or the other .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAp4GIcc2oUJ
Elias eyed the teenagers , he only liked humans when he was feeding on them or when he was chasing them for sport or flirting with them and using them to satisfy his sexual desires. Being in this school definitely felt like a peneitiary - a hunter caged in.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA7E9v5lxXmR
Dove looked around the school seeing the posters , "look. They have an LGBTQ club. Maybe you can join them."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6b1I8kH70N
"Haha very funny " the blonde male's voice was basically dripping with sarcasm.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA2lVvADIWWM
The honey blonde haired girl gave him a look , "I'm serious , I think I might join the cooking club as an extracurricular or this music club."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvIQtQAWVDQ
"Joining a bunch of people in one room without eating them will make me crazy." He took the schedule Crystal had organized for him , apparently he was in eleventh grade , " Well I'm off to class. Chow."
43Please respect copyright.PENANArny3yCGjcU
43Please respect copyright.PENANAJWuICQhL0Z
Dove shook her head at her little brother , of course Elias wouldn't get involved in anything that didn't matter to him that's how big a narcissist he was.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAHVyvUEs0gV
Finding the science class wasn't a problem but Elias dreaded the exact moment he walked in and all eyes fell on him and as much as he usually enjoyed an audience now wasn't those exceptional times. He was going to get back at Crystal.
43Please respect copyright.PENANASMXKkVanZ5
The Drak was grateful the teacher , a man who went by Mr Smee who had an awful incredibly bald patch and a grumpy look on his face and couldn't bother trying not to look so miserable while teaching , didn't ask him to introduce himself.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAZYa9LWctjb
"Another one huh? " The man sneered , "find yourself a seat."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA4FTtfqdGlk
Thank goodness he didn't ask me to introduce myself like a preschooler . Elias thought to himself planning on eating the man at some point.
43Please respect copyright.PENANACdLGTYNKGY
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6GkLWf90yo
Elias noticed the boy - the one with light brown skin who lived behind his new home was in this same class - maybe high school wouldn't be so tedious after all. He smirked as he made his way behind the neighbor's desk while purposely ignoring the other students who were already his handsome features .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAGwTtgVFlo1
43Please respect copyright.PENANAfMrZ1rifmP
When he walked into most rooms , all attention fell on him , no one , guy or girl could ever take their eyes off Elias McLain , it wasn't only being a hunter in his nature but also the ability to captivate anyone with those piercing blue green eyes of his.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAf4PJiqoDzP
So it was unusual to see how the other boy next door didn't seem to notice Elias ' presence , instead his neighbor seemed to be scribbling down something onto a note pad which kind of ticked the Drak that some biology text book seemed to be an object of someone's attention than him.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAGydKXTuwdS
Elias sat down and tapped the other on the back ,"Hi buddy"
43Please respect copyright.PENANA1MMua9IsBH
The light skinned boy who lived next door looked at him with a bewildered expression on his face that Elias wanted to poke at.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAlJpPu3k2uB
He put up his most charming "Ethan right?."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAv4pjYGiuks
The teenager nodded , "Yeah. You go here too?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAJS9XA9UAYl
"Unfortunately." Elias muttered he didn't understand this plan of blending Crystal had devised - they always were messy with their meals, sloppy if even but Crystal had never made them live under the radar .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAuVlRj6Vhhb
He cleared his throat , "my sister Dove and I enrolled today. Aunt Hari wanted us to integrate with the town." The lie came out naturally .
43Please respect copyright.PENANArxJKsovJJI
"Aunt Ha- oh you mean Mrs Harris." The light skinned boy then gave him his attention. "Where did you and your sisters move from ?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAYIvZrOlsJE
"Boston."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tu86F4J8
"I see."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAuvLCDqgAGk
The Drak noticed the way the guy's eyes gave him away; As a hunter , he knew how to study his prey -their very behavior indicated what they felt and the same applied to humans of this world . This boy didn't seem to trust him that Elias could see.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA2P8zicaIr6
43Please respect copyright.PENANA37alYUshPh
The prowler of the night found himself wondering how the teenager tasted like. The meat of teenagers was always more delicious than the adults. Maybe he could keep this Ethan as a play thing before eventually feeding on him like the others .
43Please respect copyright.PENANANI9XhAmk2f
43Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSNJpuWEt
He then smiled at the neighbor leaning a bit closer , " since you are the only person I know . You wouldn't mind showing me and my sister around do you?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANATTzJP2izNg
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMC48m1hfkM
He noticed the way the light skinned brown seemed to contemplate , "uh...sure thing."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAchh65sPIUI
Elias smiled rather devilishly, "Ethan . Tell me are you single."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAiOtU48odo5
"What?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAPNA772tQXJ
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcary07TFAn
Elias found the other guy's reaction to be amusing , "have you dated. Any ex girlfriends."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAMdmOkMd4tK
"Uh... singular , I had a girlfriend but we mutually broke up "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhKT024dFnb
"Damn ," the Drak let out a low whistle , "I did not think you actually had it in you "
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5WgrTp6bda
He saw the other boy look at Mr. Smee who was still writing on the board before he looked at him again.
43Please respect copyright.PENANATIV7b1BtLi
"Why are you asking such questions?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAGWWWu91Vsr
Elias' smile or rather smirk didn't falter , "sorry. I'm pretty straight forward , Crystal calls it nosy . I hope I didn't offended you." He added the last part with fake sincerity which seemed to work.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwEKEQtZN3F
"No you didn't offend me. Most people just don't ask such questions upfront. What about you? Any girl you left behind in Boston ?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKjK927BqPT
"Nope. Besides , I left a lot of girls prior to that city ."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA3iC2EFkIUx
"Judging by that I assume you date a lot"
43Please respect copyright.PENANApS6SMqoyaz
"I don't date per say ," He wasn't a relationship person , "my last girl Livi. Olivia , Livi was my nickname for her, anyway she was the only girl I had been with for long ."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAB5Wbj9y8qo
43Please respect copyright.PENANAB76YpSnstp
That and probably because Livi was a Dayana and chosen maiden se thought could break her vow of celibacy by seducing jet and he quickly learnt a lesson from that experience; never try to mess with a Dayana , those goddess descendant bitches were vindictive when provoked .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhcBXgCPJpM
"So -"
"Mr. Bennett , is your conversation with James Dean over there more important than the lesson?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAj8pWjnkGsy
43Please respect copyright.PENANArKH34DWfNc
"Sorry Mr Smee." Ethan sheepishly apologized while Elias rolled his eyes , it was official the latter was going to eat the man.

Ethan
43Please respect copyright.PENANAJxJjaYBcyY
All the students of Mill Creek were presently gathered in the school auditorium waiting to be addressed.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5bQZkxSXkM
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwXmz6YpnP3
43Please respect copyright.PENANABKbDJydTcY
"It's weird right?" Alicia exclaimed.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAntSLxMSmnb
"What is ?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANA9vMWaQfuof
"Your new neighbors ," she said and that got his attention .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAi45cAnC8a
"What about them?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANADeEtGiWoVq
"They have only being here two days and these losers want to be their friends so bad." By ' losers ' she meant their peers and most of the students in school that also included the actual dorks , geeks , nerds , jocks , goths cheerleaders and other popular crowd
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAmwtXvJlEj
43Please respect copyright.PENANAp5DM7AhWIN
Alicia Olivar was that one girl who merely loathed everything and everyone and rarely liked anyone (Ethan excluded of course )if it wasn't for her nose piercing , and the usual flannel shirts , ripped jeans and sneakers , and the occasional specs she had on and off , Ethan could swear she was a real live Wednesday Addams.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwKxkVQAySO
He turned to look at the new students in Mill Creek High , Dove and Elias McLain his neighbour's relatives.
43Please respect copyright.PENANArGQt9I5hTt
"I mean they do carry that certain vibe." He said to Alicia.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAA8UoVMp0IM
Dove and Elias had only been in school for a week but yet they attracted the others the way light did with moths. Almost everyone in Mill Creek Highwanted to befriend thrm , the jocks and cheerleaders were even inviting them to hang out which was odd especially since the residents of Mill Creek (the student population) were not very accepting of outsiders .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcTP5l6cLFn
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAE4M40ukor
But yet again , the McLain siblings were the most attractive people in school it made sense why alot of the guys were fawning over Dove and Ethan couldn't lie he was attracted to her on a mild level , her sweet nature made gave all the more reason for the boys to be entranced with her.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAojH1tBv9Jt
43Please respect copyright.PENANALAKv0sd1fV
Elias on the other hand seemed like sex on a stick , girls practically flirted with him so openingly and he responded to their advances , a bit too promisciously . Ethan had noticed Elias was sort of narcisstic, the blonde male knew he was attractive and hot and made sure others saw it , definitely taking a thrill from it.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAH9DEl8N98m
43Please respect copyright.PENANA92aqbkH36u
If their elder sister , Crystal was a high school senior , Ethan was sure thays when the trifecta of all three siblings would be at it's peak. Dove and Elias were already getting popular and soon enough
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhqrtXISc0K
43Please respect copyright.PENANAd1FOgOpW50
"What are we talking about?" Win said sitting in between Ethan and Alicia.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA1I2fl9wZcM
Ethan smiled at his other friend , "nothing. Just seeing the way the Mclains are fitting in ."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAy9dT1vgaGt
"They are assimilating with the wild quite easily. Ethan , I just asked Dove of she would like to join the club , she said she'll consider it. That girl is such a darling ." The boy said with dreamy sigh and Ethan hummed in agreement.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA58vjgkBBu4
43Please respect copyright.PENANAI110ZjQHvW
"Oh great." Alicia murmured.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhzprzUucMu
Win turned to her with a huge grin , "don't worry. You're the only girl in my heart. "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcup7fTz0fG
43Please respect copyright.PENANAnR4oc47Gcj
43Please respect copyright.PENANAE9SGwu1GU9
Win was short for Winfrey. Winfrey Sommers had great childlike eyes even though he was sixteen , red brown hair and freckles splattered across his face. Everything about him screamed jovial and excited if that's how Ethan could describe him. Win was such a handful apparently even his mother would tire out .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAVi1Hm545Ka
The Spanish girl hissed , her patience was clearly being tested , "why don't you go flirt with the girls of that hippie group you're both in."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAIlFWf9unlE
"How can i flirt with any other girl when you're the one that resides in my heart. You love me Alicia bear. You are much cuter when you wear your specs ," Win said with a smile .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAWsL4YHexMN
"Those are for reading you ding bat."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAdqgQzSYgoT
43Please respect copyright.PENANApfsvsKmc7U
, "I learnt Spanish especially for you amor- "
43Please respect copyright.PENANAep6mWnvJ53
"Fuck off " Alicia said flipping him the finger , "don't you dare learn my language. It's the one thing you haven't stolen from me." The girl then muttered something in the lanuage that caused Ethan to snicker.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvlubsYB8MV
That did nothing to deter the grin on Win's face , "Ms Olivar. One day you're going to become the future Mrs Sommers."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAO7AMVsREF3
43Please respect copyright.PENANAv1J89GO2uE
Alicia's annoyance quickly escalated to fury "You little -" she hit the red head boy over the side of his head with so much force he whined.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAoQlBNCZetK
43Please respect copyright.PENANAnzZSOCb7I1
Ethan shook his head amused ; where as Alicia was his best friend , the type he could have a serious conversation while Win was that one friend who kept the situation light hearted .
43Please respect copyright.PENANAzDGodeV32c
Just then Principal Darrin walked into the auditorium along with Sheriff's Arnold and his young deputy Higgins. Ethan tensed , the last time the sheriff was here it wasn't good news and the grim look on the man's face told Ethan everything he needed to know.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKvDH3p1G2S
43Please respect copyright.PENANAAZw58CXw8K
"What the heck is the sheriff doing here?" Win asked.
43Please respect copyright.PENANABjjpOrph8q
"Clearly he isn't here to give advice on career options " Alicia deadpanned.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAdiOpu3156J
Principal Darrin cleared his throat getting their attention. "Good afternoon dear students of Mill Creek High. I'm sure most you want to go home already ...but this assembly is very important. Please listen and corporate with the Sheriff and his deputy."
43Please respect copyright.PENANADsRH7aHomn
A few applauded when the sheriff took the stage. The man did a curt nod and stared at them with a pokerfaced , "I'm sure y'all aware of the recent animal attack that claimed lives of Hunter Stanford , Gregory Bright and Dennis Mallard last week."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAkhLno44WHr
Ethan subconsciously nodded ,last week , the bodies of three men were found brutally torn , he had heard that one of them had his entire middle section eaten and his hands cut off. The thought made him cringe.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAFOJyykmfBD
"Unfortunately I'm to be a harbinger of more bad news." That seemed to get all their attention. " In the last few days a couple of murders have occurred , not animal murders. Three bodies have showed in the last few days. We have tried to prevent panic but I'm afraid ....that's not the solution. The victims' hearts were taken out based on the patterns of the recent murders - a serial killer maybe on the loose ," the sheriff said much to the shock of the student body.
43Please respect copyright.PENANATk70kQMfwQ
43Please respect copyright.PENANA18YRm4eTwC
"A serial killer!" Win shrieked along with many others.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAc7BdHDep78

Ethan didn't know why but on Instinct he turned to stare at Elias and Dove. The nephew and youngest niece of Mrs Harris didn't seem very bothered by the declaration that the town they just moved into now had a serial killer - their reactions did not match the panic that he and the other students had written on their faces.

Dove , with her angel face , seemed pokerfaced showing no reaction at all. She just sat there seemingly unbothered by everything. But it was Elias' facial expression that caught Ethan's attention. The Golden blonde boy was smirking . Maybe they were used to this things? Elias did mention they were from Boston and murder cases were probably frequent.

"We are still trying to find the animal , for now we ask you youngsters to cooperate. Like we said last time , do not venture into the woods. Always walk in a friend group if possible ," Deputy Higgins said , the only black woman in the town's police department. She then looked at them seriously , "for your safety and the rest of the town we have issued a curfew . Everyone must be indoors by six pm."

That caused many to boo and shake their heads but it was the sheriff's loud voice that shut them up , "this is for your safety. Mill Creek isn't safe anymore at night now. Until we catch this mountain lion and the killer you'll have to abide by these rules unless y'all want to get yourself killed."

Ethan looked at his friends who were just as nervous and uncomfortable. First the animal attacks , Mrs Harris abruptly leaving without word and no a potential serial killer. What the heck was happening in Mill Creek?
