Chapter 16
Time seemed to stand still
All Jake could do was watch as the manifestation that had taken shape around her fizzled out. Reality swamped back, sound came like a tidal wave attacking his ears, his vision that was once blurred, now sharpened and remained focused on the carnage that continued to surround him. As his eyes turned to Summer, he realized with immense embarrassment that she was staring awkwardly back at him with a slow startling realisation that it was him. Not quite sure what to do, Jake remained still, the feeling of guilt and sadness swept over him. He had got her into this mess. He had betrayed and abandoned her. Again.
Tears filled her eyes as her lip quivered in total devastation.
She slowly made her way towards him, slithering through the crowd.
She had grown in confidence and looked incredibly beautiful in a haunting kind of way, he thought.
She stopped suddenly, only feet away from him.

Summer’s fingers shook as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt from the top by his throat. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her neck and knew that he was fighting the urge to bite her. He remained motionless, waiting for her to move further. She could feel the tension increase as she slowly made her way down, gradually releasing each button to display his muscular chest. Her eyes were transfixed by an emerging tattoo. On his sternum was tired tree branches that spread off in every direction. As she pushed her hand to open more of his shirt the patterns changed towards his arms which took a haunted vein and shattered glass appearance. On the end of some of the branches had numerous names, some in different languages. Summer gently brushed her fingers over them.A sharp intake of breath signalled that Andrei was losing all self-restraint.

As the clock on the wall finally struck midnight, Elizabeth Autumn finally gave an exhausted yawn. She had been working continuously on the new information she had found only hours before. It had been a real breakthrough, a stroke of genius to compare the fibres with old age rituals. At least the human detectives would go along with this line of enquiry. She could not release her real identity or why she was sent to work within this position.She leant heavily against the huge metal basin, her legs were aching and her eyes desperately wanted to shut. Her colleague had taken a rather desperate and angry call from one of the detective inspectors only an hour before she had stopped writing up the report. In all honesty she had forgotten to update the officers that had visited her, and she knew that Smith would be proper pissed off. As her thoughts dreamed of retiring into her soft double bed, the heavy white doors to the laboratory were pushed

The chaos had all but diminished, only a few locals were standing exchanging information about the carnage that had taken place the night before. Blue police tape surrounded the gates and fences with evident forensic activity happening.This was not going to be easy.Summer quickly jogged to the fence and with one great push flung herself over.She speedily looked around to make sure no one had spotted her trespassing.

He knew this was the start. The beginning of the end. He had been offered a deal he possibly could not refuse. And the reward for his services? Immortality The thought echoed in his mind. What more could he want? He trembled with excitement and anticipation. It was of course a shock when ‘they’ had approached him and opened up to him, telling him what they were and what they wanted. He was afraid at first as their dirty and ghostly appearance shocked him into a silent terror. These things were of myth and legend how could they be possibly real? He remembered those piercing yellow eyes how they looked straight through him and seemed to penetrate his inner thoughts. The ground had almost appeared to shake and move beneath him as he stood there watching them in horrific fascination. He blinked allowing himself to check if this truly was real.

A horrific scream tore through the fabric of sound and pulsed through the elegant, peaceful streets. Amongst the growing shadows heads turned to and fro in a frantic panic to locate the gurgled wail that contaminated their realm. The radiant one stood aghast as he peered down at the abomination that continued to shred its victim. A diamond tear appeared and illuminated his heavenly sculptured features. His marble hand drew to his azure tinted eye and caressed the tiny pearl of water. He stood momentarily studying this foreign emotion. He loathed this earthly dimension, it bought the worst out in him. He cast his eyes down again to the scene that appalled him. The creature had now been disturbed and bolted through the street and dived into the sewage tunnels. He watched contently as the naïve humans gathered, screaming in unison at the vision that appeared before him. He knew that he must report back to his divine leader. Th

As the sun started to disappear upon the horizon, the 186 bus to Ecklemoore Village slowly came to a halt outside an old run down pub. As Summer thanked the bus driver who quickly retorted a response, she stepped off and looked up at the pub. The Whirlwind stood ablaze with light, outside her boyfriend and friends waited. A slight chill grew steadily around her, strange she thought, it was a warm night, and there was no wind? “Hey stop dreaming! Come on, the nights still young!” Jake cried. Hearing his voice Summer followed her friends inside. It was a quiet pub, the locals huddled round the open fire their conversation muffed by the crackling of the logs. As the four youngsters made their way to the bar, one turned to watch them. “Hi” said Jake, waving to grab the attention of the middle aged barman, “four double vodkas and cokes please”. “Jake! I don’t want vodka, much rather have a J20, that
