Lucas had been having a few episodes for the past few days, he had been reliving the torment he faced when he was still in the captivity of Bernard.Sometimes the episodes he was having seemed pretty real, he would sleepwalk or wake up with bruises or even pain in a specific area. He didn’t want to tell Roman about it at first but Roman knew whenever something was wrong with his best friend.Roman told him that it was all in his head and needed to stop thinking about it, but was it that easy to forget? Lucas never had a taste of the sweet living life had to offer.He was always in pain. Rejected and left alone by his own mother, treated wrongly by his father and was eventually captured by a man who’s heart seemed to have turned against humanity.Aside from his powers and roman, he had nothing to live for. The only thing he thought worthy of living for was his revenge.He left the house and decided to take a stroll down into town, it could be overwhelming hiding and living in isol
“why are you even defending him, I mean come on this son of a bitch tried to kill you” Roman sprung up from the couch angrily“I’m defending him because he saved me Roman, Henry wasn’t the one who tried to gut me it was some creature that could possibly shape shift” Harley sprung up to, Roman turned back to look at her“A shape shifter, in black hills?” Roman arched a brow “Yes Roman! There is a new threat in black hills and this one is stronger and better and way trickier” Harley explained and Roman turned completely to face her“what did it look like?” Roman asked in a serious tone when he figured that Harley wasn’t joking around “It had a wide mouth with multiple teethes, its eyeballs were completely white and it felt like it was staring right into my soul…. It looked almost skeleton ” She explained in further details and Roman couldn’t even process what he was hearing“Henry saved me when it tried to gut me; he was the one attacking it. I just froze like a freaking dumbas
Dylan left the hospital so he could go home and freshen up, maybe even better and cleaner clothes. He didn’t want to leave the hospital till he was sure that his dad got everything urgent that he needed and he was responding properly to treatment.In which thank God that he was, so he could go home and even have a proper meal since two days. He came back to the hospital with clean clothes for his dad, he would have brought food but the hospital already got that covered. Except for coffee, though they have that covered too but regardless he knows his dad prefer a particular coffee shop’s drink to anyone elseMaybe the one he makes at home too could be an exemption, but anyways the doctor said caffeine wasn’t even advisable for intake.Dylan stood in front of the door of his dad’s ward and peeped in to see if he was awake, even though it was visiting hours he still didn’t want to wake him if he was asleep.But Sheriff Hardin wasn’t asleep, He was sitting upright on the bed and sipping
Harley already knew the perfect way to cajole Grey into helping her find Bernard, or well lead her to him. But she keeps forgetting that he is her father and he wouldn’t just let her run off like that to face someone as dangerous as Bernard. Like she had told Roman a few days back, Grey had been hiding himself in his mini office doing only God knows what. What Harley knew for sure was that guilt was terribly eating him alive. He had lost practically everything, his wife doesn’t trust him anymore so does Harley and he’s been threatened by the man who caused the whole chaos in the first place. Someone who could do a lot of damage than Harley’s little mind could ever imagine. She brewed two cups of coffee and placed them gently as she walked up the stairs to see her dad. She paused by the door and inhaled deeply, before giving herself a little reassurance nod then placing a knock on the door. “I don’t want to see anyone please go away” Grey responded with a hoarse voice from inside “
Sheriff Hardin was discharged from the hospital, Dylan was checking on Henry whenever he came to check his dad but Henry was always fast asleep due to the drugs he was given Nurses so they couldn’t have a conversation.But Dylan had planned to go to his ward after he helped his dad checkout of the hospital, “I want to quickly check on Henry dad…I’ll be back.” He was about to leave when his dad held his hand“He’s here? Was he hurt too” Sheriff Hardin whispered to Dylan, he figured he couldn’t be talking loudly now since the person they were talking about wasn’t exactly fully human.“yeah he was, he was admitted the same day you were” Dylan replied, Sheriff Hardin raised his head up by the counter to look at the nurse who seemed too busy enough to even eavesdrop on their conversation but Sheriff Hardin wasn’t ready to take any chances“Come…” He pulled Dylan gently by the arm away from the counter and towards the waiting bench“what’s the problem dad?” Dylan arched a brow“why don’t we
“Hey there” she gave a short wave to Roman who was outside setting up traps, the top she was wearing belonged to Lucas and so it was big for her that the long sleeve completely swallowed her hands. “Hey Caroline” Roman responded dryly, not shifting his gaze from what he was doing. He figured that if he was on to Bernard now then Bernard wouldn’t relent either. If he sends his men, the traps could hold them off enough for him to escape if he was outnumbered. “What uh….what are you doing?” Caroline stood on her toes from where she stood on the stairs to try and catch a glimpse of what he was doing “Making traps” He huffed as he was bending an iron he wanted to use for his trap; it was something he could use his super strength to do. But she was standing, trying to take a look at what he was doing and he didn’t want to take the risk of her figuring the other side of him “Do you need help?” she asked further, Roman was already getting irritated by the little questions she was asking
***************** Harley had told Roman of her discussion with her dad, amidst their little misunderstanding earlier. Roman was trying so hard to explain to Harley that he had nothing to do with Caroline but she only wanted to believe what she saw. Because why the hell was a complete stranger giving him a peck? Anyways Roman agreed to meet up with Grey at a nearby coffee shop; it wasn’t so popular because the other competition which was the coffee shop opposite had a very fast wifi that was always on 24/7. People preferred going there and that was why Grey thought this was perfect for their little reunion. Roman suggested he and Harley drove down. Truth was he had a car at the penthouse which he never uses since he was laying low or rather in hiding. It would be suspicious if people see his car driving into the woods late at night or during the day every time. He figured why shouldn’t he just take it for a spin and find out if it really still works like it used to when he wasn’t c
“Yeah sure, let’s do this” Roman answered with a sharp nod before taking off his seat belt and getting down from the car. He had a face cap in the car which he didn’t forget to take and put on immediately. Even though Grey said it was safe, he still didn’t want to blow his cover, Harley made for the door as she opened it, Roman held the heavy glass door for her to go in before walking behind her and releasing the door to close on it’s on. “Remember, if anything goes wrong just stay behind me always till we get the hell far away from here” Roman whispered to Harley and she responded with a sharp nod “There….” She said Roman followed her gaze to Grey who was sitting on the last couch by the wall beside the window, stirring continuously the cup of coffee in front of him as he stared helplessly into the abyss. He looked too lost in thoughts to even notice they were approaching, Roman and Harley slid into the seat opposite him and he still didn’t notice they were there. But he still kep
