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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfuQOR7osTl
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZRqsmZ137G
45Please respect copyright.PENANApVqk3NRgiz
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmmno9ousF1
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvcrd5YH3ep
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAOUITVZJH83
"He definitely got on your nerves didn't he?" He asked smirk still intact.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXVyrBtJdQL
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANA55WoLzaHAJ
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgoUvscWW3T
She wiped the blood with the sleeve of her jacket , "didn't like him much. He was too touchy."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAx3TexFE6C6
45Please respect copyright.PENANA2fvtqWXJiL
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA51KxUkSfjU
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAPanKorN9rL
"It's called leaving no evidence behind you douche bag."
45Please respect copyright.PENANA076VvbPmJq
Elias touched his chest fondly, "sis ,you wound me you know that."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwmYQBuxf0K
45Please respect copyright.PENANAQgsYayqXJ7
"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 "
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6LKpYT8GgO
45Please respect copyright.PENANArDGumZmpeG
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Rm3jhIne
"Come on," Elias pretended to pout and smirked , his sharp fangs showing. "why do you always have to be a party pooper Crissie."
45Please respect copyright.PENANArenCKFPMV3
"We still need to get moving." She chided him ,"and don't call me Crissie."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAxMlnUvNI9D
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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAq39gIrzfXv
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA31sGDiomad
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAs6KBwscdLk
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6r2D0Gn2Pk
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 ."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAMKv1IJopmE
"Just hurry up ." Crystal nonchantly left following Dove .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAlZcsbsKqqS
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
45Please respect copyright.PENANAD5B6qdYvjI
"Please..please ," the human blabbered over and over , "let me go. I won't tell anyone anything please "
45Please respect copyright.PENANApATsanlpAm
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANASC2NBbig2s
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANACCZJMvImBc
"Why ...are you ....doing this." Dennis choked tears in his eyes.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA3S6Y29wokZ
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAQb9ZFHJJVw
"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?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANANDUNTZjGQc
"What are you ?" Dennis sobbed , "you aren't humans."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgSkf3aP3Kw
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 ."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAnnduepnOSY
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWOz3ly6ppe
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8QMAaO02lX
Elias got info the truck of the men they had murdered and feasted on , Dove was in the driver's seat .
45Please respect copyright.PENANA2V8XDTbfMX
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAdgbxSjzj0X
" 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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAazrZhz3vTI
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAyz3VwXHlNq
Elias smirked and licked the blood from his fingers , "let's get this show on the road."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAUxdz0FnVSK
Dove smiled and started the car , "to our new home."
45Please respect copyright.PENANA7LYFwQzEbK
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?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAsoVJTvrrlN
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwTI8VVJJmh
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"
45Please respect copyright.PENANALv3Vzuqn3y
"We need to lay low. It's not a freaking request Elias "
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWKjGg9wai0
"No one tells me what to do." His eyes slowly started to redden and he saw Crystal’s turning as well.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAObJvhgvcFS
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANACFCXf1eRna
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0kKrUddz4C
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAojd3d3ZLXF
Elias let out a childish groan , "we never went to school in Boston , nor in Vegas so why start now."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAxNdnk6Rorz
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAGITvnXVbzv
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 "
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwXAKWpp3p4
Dove just shrugged and tried to be optimistic, "maybe it won't be so bad "
45Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ydnQSuhy
Elias looked at her as if she was stupid or something. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like it one bit.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAMnKulqKo9u

45Please respect copyright.PENANAo5zXfpRA1k
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHJLSgnouXQ
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIo5Umwgutd
45Please respect copyright.PENANASmngvApJHZ
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
45Please respect copyright.PENANAOUNwIiIpDK
"Why is it so noisy?" He asked with evident disgust in his face - humans were always noisy for some reason or the other .
45Please respect copyright.PENANA6p35LWyWCm
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5xP3DMCvgd
Dove looked around the school seeing the posters , "look. They have an LGBTQ club. Maybe you can join them."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAPdwLjmDbKG
"Haha very funny " the blonde male's voice was basically dripping with sarcasm.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqox4eO3CYj
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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZbJtdbaXyO
"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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEsT1l4nhRw
45Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Mg2tF1Vj
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAnT9WGune8q
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA7CDZp7cUYS
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAv94YYsYtG5
"Another one huh? " The man sneered , "find yourself a seat."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAymC9gSxzJN
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAi1zepdgG6b
45Please respect copyright.PENANAkfuFweW9Jw
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAma59JtL2Zy
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwEKwbt3GFc
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANANVtxHDBxRe
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAoDDh0vvpB0
Elias sat down and tapped the other on the back ,"Hi buddy"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAYn0PgFLYNI
The light skinned boy who lived next door looked at him with a bewildered expression on his face that Elias wanted to poke at.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAt4GEebaDaI
He put up his most charming "Ethan right?."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAMoXBu6AOH1
The teenager nodded , "Yeah. You go here too?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAKof8kAFyMc
"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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAuoVVbbRXZ6
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAikP3P1DJi7
"Aunt Ha- oh you mean Mrs Harris." The light skinned boy then gave him his attention. "Where did you and your sisters move from ?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ2EJz1mg7
"Boston."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAET88x4fgv4
"I see."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWRkj5xchwW
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAm456ao2yjm
45Please respect copyright.PENANAWg93Fsa8XM
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAlbnLLMxLPy
45Please respect copyright.PENANAG99a7c0sfA
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?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAf0pa7nWcGG
45Please respect copyright.PENANAO3GcQDZKal
He noticed the way the light skinned brown seemed to contemplate , "uh...sure thing."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAb8TNOdAPKv
Elias smiled rather devilishly, "Ethan . Tell me are you single."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAbO31FP64AA
"What?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANA722fx89TT0
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wst9SDv0x
Elias found the other guy's reaction to be amusing , "have you dated. Any ex girlfriends."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAcocIZvXnNk
"Uh... singular , I had a girlfriend but we mutually broke up "
45Please respect copyright.PENANARsqUfWZkKt
"Damn ," the Drak let out a low whistle , "I did not think you actually had it in you "
45Please respect copyright.PENANAgPLl16WYTx
He saw the other boy look at Mr. Smee who was still writing on the board before he looked at him again.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHR6snnaVeo
"Why are you asking such questions?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfiAK3cwsJA
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAPepI6JQffB
"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 ?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANApBUZqPWpRh
"Nope. Besides , I left a lot of girls prior to that city ."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHRzbFLlOhE
"Judging by that I assume you date a lot"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAT3BuKT4arg
"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 ."
45Please respect copyright.PENANABIWIGr6YvN
45Please respect copyright.PENANA1mWb8YXnQI
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAz5NvWH46LI
"So -"
"Mr. Bennett , is your conversation with James Dean over there more important than the lesson?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAcw1KXINp4g
45Please respect copyright.PENANAigpxe2UQWW
"Sorry Mr Smee." Ethan sheepishly apologized while Elias rolled his eyes , it was official the latter was going to eat the man.

Ethan
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmCDY2B5SH4
All the students of Mill Creek were presently gathered in the school auditorium waiting to be addressed.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA3jUzu1QdGP
45Please respect copyright.PENANARGn1c6QP5E
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqmPzeaYDQs
"It's weird right?" Alicia exclaimed.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAginHbRmEcK
"What is ?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANA9QvJ8guQBy
"Your new neighbors ," she said and that got his attention .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAjbhddt85lk
"What about them?"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXxeGWiG9q4
"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
45Please respect copyright.PENANA9u6TE5Hj6v
45Please respect copyright.PENANAUeB03sEseB
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXmiGiHyqo2
He turned to look at the new students in Mill Creek High , Dove and Elias McLain his neighbour's relatives.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAd2NyXoDl80
"I mean they do carry that certain vibe." He said to Alicia.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAXgeIZKgXjB
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAyZmLp9gi3B
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIh4tPSWKyZ
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAyLYjRKBAc3
45Please respect copyright.PENANAYPtc40rrsq
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAqF535LdPJk
45Please respect copyright.PENANANf4tzDgqEY
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
45Please respect copyright.PENANAhlc5RDinVR
45Please respect copyright.PENANA15ehD8JB71
"What are we talking about?" Win said sitting in between Ethan and Alicia.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0N1ltLFbEz
Ethan smiled at his other friend , "nothing. Just seeing the way the Mclains are fitting in ."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFf3tbNUNrh
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANApAxG0sQtd9
45Please respect copyright.PENANAUmtdAWZp4S
"Oh great." Alicia murmured.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAJGvumDraJC
Win turned to her with a huge grin , "don't worry. You're the only girl in my heart. "
45Please respect copyright.PENANAMRd9LwR05u
45Please respect copyright.PENANA5gYWPCvIxG
45Please respect copyright.PENANAfJiJAYHBgD
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEH09R3F2qS
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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAHnVWykEbtv
"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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAhxGfEzcqea
"Those are for reading you ding bat."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAYG9zluxboE
45Please respect copyright.PENANAX6HqSiUMyS
, "I learnt Spanish especially for you amor- "
45Please respect copyright.PENANABnCsyfYhn2
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAmnzMLWUtJf
That did nothing to deter the grin on Win's face , "Ms Olivar. One day you're going to become the future Mrs Sommers."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwYWcgdy3nQ
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIUglxLI1os
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANANHV9aNphYm
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8EpE358FA4
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 .
45Please respect copyright.PENANAbNCx23tMdD
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAz3WhaMD0nR
45Please respect copyright.PENANAU6pe8HaVvF
"What the heck is the sheriff doing here?" Win asked.
45Please respect copyright.PENANACWHB5tRm5q
"Clearly he isn't here to give advice on career options " Alicia deadpanned.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAozyxN2xxjw
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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ3nvkoZ1l
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."
45Please respect copyright.PENANA1YiODhRSe9
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8yR2wTgkt3
"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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZUSzxEwrR6
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEbkViGTEpa
"A serial killer!" Win shrieked along with many others.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8NObN6xVRA

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?
