The days melted together, and grief bled into shock until I couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began.

I avoided the TV. Alexandra promised he’d keep an eye on the news, just in case there was any word about my mother. But I wasn’t expecting any miracles. I knew the Yerington police wouldn’t just let something like that go. Eventually, they’d come looking for me.

William kept his distance. Typical. Strangely enough, I found a sort of comfort in his detachment. I

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Forty-Six - Digging Graves

    Luckily for us, Sarah didn’t freak out too much when William hauled the shovels from the trunk. A part of me worried we’d pushed her past fear—like maybe she was just staying quiet to survive until this whole thing ended. Honestly, I wouldn’t have blamed her. Even I was disturbed sometimes by how numb I’d gotten to this kind of work.After what happened back in Benjamin Miller, the boys didn’t love the idea of me doing anything too hands-on. That meant I got stuck on flashlight duty with Sarah while they did the digging. I sat beside her, sulking, annoyed that my one chance at action got taken away like I was some misbehaving kid."William—" I started, gearing up to beg for the third time that hour."I’m not hearing it, Kate," he barked, not even looking up from his work. He jabbed a finger toward me. "Little more to the left."I scowled and seriously considered throwing the flashlight at his thick skull. Alexandra intercepted the thought by

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter forty five - crime scene

    It always amazed me how fast the police cleared a crime scene. Were they really that efficient? Or just eager to wrap things up? Either way, Evelyn’s house felt abandoned. Not a soul in sight. We slipped beneath the yellow caution tape, and Alexandra knelt to pick the front door lock. I’d suggested going in through the broken back doors, but William insisted that we shouldn’t risk leaving blood or DNA behind. I didn’t argue. “Uh…” Sarah hesitated behind us. “This is still an active crime scene, right?” “You already lied to the cops,” William pointed out without missing a beat. “What’s one more thing?” I gave her a sympathetic pat on the shoulder as William sliced through the evidence tape with his pocket knife. The four of us stepped inside. I didn’t let my eyes wander. One glance at the wrong corner and I knew I’d unravel again. Instead, I headed straight for the painting still hanging above the f

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Forty-Four – Flames of the Past

    William slammed the brakes just as we skidded into the driveway. I barely noticed the Jeep parked ahead of us before I flung my door open and bolted. My boots pounded the pavement as I sprinted toward the house. Behind me, the Impala’s engine clicked off, but I was already halfway to the porch.A figure stepped from the shadows beside the Jeep, rushing straight for Alexandra. I instinctively reached for my weapon, panic rising in my throat—until she stepped into a slice of moonlight.“Alex, what’s going on?” Sarah Blake asked, fear etched deep into her voice.“I told you not to come,” he muttered.I brushed past them, ignoring the rising tide of frustration toward Sarah. I leapt up the steps with William and Alexandra on my heels.I reached the front door first. I knocked hard—no answer. “Evelyn?” I shouted. The stillness inside made my stomach twist. “Hello? Evelyn, it’s Kate!”William pounded beside me. “Anybody home?!”

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Forty-Three – The Painting Changed

    Books thudded onto the table, jarring enough to make me jump. “You said the Isaiah Jones family, right?” the librarian asked, his voice buzzing with a level of excitement that set me on edge.Alexandra gave him a calm nod. “Yeah. That’s right.”The librarian didn’t waste a second. He started tearing through his pile of old newspapers and worn history books. “I pulled everything I could find from local archives. So, uh, you three into true crime?”William had just wandered over from the magazine rack. He leaned on the table, raising an eyebrow. “Something like that. Why?”The man lifted a fragile yellowed newspaper like it was a sacred text. The main headline screamed something about the Titanic, but his finger tapped at a smaller article tucked on the side:FATHER MURDERS FAMILY, TAKES OWN LIFE.William pointed at it. “Yeah. That sounds like what we’re looking for.”“The whole family?” Alexandra asked, voice tighten

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Forty-Two – Disappearing

    Chapter Forty-Two – DisappearingNothing kickstarts a morning quite like finishing a job—unless your brother’s sulking while pretending he isn’t. Alexandra’s duffel bag sat half-packed on the bed, and his untouched to-go coffee was sweating on the side table. I frowned at it. He hadn’t taken a single sip.“You alright?” I asked.Alexandra looked up, startled, like he’d just remembered I existed. “Yeah,” he said quickly, then went back to stuffing clothes into his bag. I raised an eyebrow but let it drop.That’s when William came barreling out of the bathroom.“We’ve got a problem. I can’t find my wallet.”Alexandra paused mid-pack, a shirt bunched in his hands. I reached for my prescription bottle and popped a pill.“How exactly is that our problem?” Alexandra asked.William was already tearing apart the bar counter. “Because I think I left it at the warehouse last night.”Of course he did. My pill went

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Thirty-Three – Acquired the Target

    Alexandra hovered over me like a mother hen until I finally laid down for a nap. I felt like a five-year-old needing to be tucked in and reassured. I think he could tell I was still stewing from the argument with William, so he didn’t push. He just asked if I needed more meds, and whether I’d be

    Alexandra was still laughing by the time we made it back to the motel. Meanwhile, I could barely keep myself upright. The cough that had started as a dry tickle had morphed into a heavy, wheezing mess in my chest. Each breath whistled like wind through cracked glass, and I prayed it wasn’t loud e

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Thirty-One – Hags

    I don’t think I’ll ever get used to how eerily quiet a hospital can be. When I was younger, my mom worked long shifts as an E.R. nurse. She used to joke that saying it was slow was like asking for chaos to strike. Now, as I crept through the hushed halls of Greenfield Hospital, that supersti

  • The Hawkins Blood   Chapter Thirty – We Going or Not?

    If there was one part of hunting I truly hated, it was the damn research. Endless books, websites with blinking fonts, contradicting sources—and of course, whatever monster we were chasing never made it easy. Always obscure, buried under a dozen different legends. This one was no differ
