KELVIN{Sunday, 5 days to the blood moon}I was the one leaving, but I felt left behind. The last time I saw Blake, he thought he killed me, but it was an illusion. When he heard I was still alive, he waited for the day I'd come for vengeance. But I never came.I felt guilty leaving Abby with him because I saw one of Jericho’s briefcases in his cabin earlier, meaning he was working for them.Jericho's men were on the road when I got there. They were planning to go to the cabin and take Abby. Blake must’ve been the one who told them where they were. It was easy for me to attack, because they couldn't see me. The last one was Abby's friend, Trevor. I told him all I knew about Jericho when I showed him the cabin Abby was in. But as I turned to leave, I looked at the trees and the ground. Someone had marked them with shadow ash. I followed the trail of shadow ash back to the place I buried Molly, but when I dug it up, all I saw was her jacket. The Jacket she gave Abby to come to the cabi

ASHLEY{Monday, 4 days to the blood moon}Mr. Gordon was sitting on a chair across the room when I woke up. I did not know how long I was out, but everything seemed clear. I had an ache in my head, but it was mild compared to the stinging pain I had across my forehead earlier. He sat on the bed when he saw I was awake, and I looked at his wristwatch to check the time. It was 12.05 pm. But it was 7 am when he gave me a shot in the morning. “How are you feeling, Ashley?” he asked as he checked my temperature.An image of Peter screaming as the car tumbled flashed through my mind. “Where is Peter?” I asked.He glowered at me and looked away. “You were in an accident a few hours ago, and here I am, trying to take care of you. But you keep asking about this boy? Teenagers.”“Well, just take me to him then,” I demanded.“I'll take you to him,” he said. “But you have to answer a few questions first.”“Okay,” I said. “What do you want to know?”He walked to the chair he was sitting on when I

SHERIFF{Sunday, 5 days to the blood moon}“My name is Jasmine,” a teenager said as she entered the office. I stared at her and looked back at Jacob, he was standing with the girl from earlier.“My name is Molly,” she said with a grin. I massaged my scalp and tried to get over the ringing in my head. “What are you guys doing here?” I asked. “I'm not running a daycare.” Molly chuckled. “Well, Mr. Sheriff,” she said. “We didn't come here for you to babysit us. If at all anyone needed babysitting, it would be you.”“Me?” I asked. “How so?”She picked up the Father's Day mug on the floor and handed it to me. “You were unconscious when we walked in here, and from the symbol on the injection in the waste bin, I can tell that Mr. Gordon or one of his men visited you,” she said. “And from the Father’s day mug, I can tell you have a family. If Mr. Gordon knows you, your family can't be safe.”“You're right,” I admitted. “But I don't see how you can help me.”“Why?” she asked. “Because I'm a

ASHLEY{Monday, 4 days to the blood moon}“Our goal,” Anthony Gordon said. “Is to create a superhuman. With werewolf strength, werewolf speed, and werewolf healing abilities. But without the fur.”I touched Peter's palm, and it was too cold. “How did you know that his blood would be compatible with mine if you haven't tested him yet?” I asked. “Well, Ashley,” he said. “Your blood is like a virus. A single drop of it in the body of a human could kill all the cells. So, we injected Peter with your blood, not enough to alter his genes and give him wolf powers, but enough to kill him if he wasn't compatible.”“You weren't even sure he would survive! Yet you injected him?” I yelled.“Science is about taking risks,” he said.“Science?” I asked. “If what you are doing here is purely scientific, what connection do you have with the blood moon?”He checked Peter’s temperature and removed the drip on his hand. “Jonathan runs Project Jericho as you know it,” he said. “I and the Chesterfields fo

ABBY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}I had always imagined my teenage love story to unfold quite differently. In my mind, a kind-hearted young man would muster up the courage to ask me out, and I would playfully resist his advances before eventually relenting. He would shower me with affectionate texts and thoughtful gifts, and we would share our first date and first kiss on a magical evening that would culminate with us dancing the night away at prom. But, alas, reality proved to be far different from my dreamy expectations.Ashley was always the better twin with good grades, a spot on the cheerleading squad, beauty, and brains. Even when I did well, she outdid me. She consistently received A's, and if I managed to get an A, she would get an A+. She was asked out by all the cool boys in school, except for Trevor Coleman, who was dating Tiffany. Their relationship always seemed toxic to me, so I disliked them both.I never thought a day like this would come when Trevor Coleman

SHERIFF{Tuesday, 3 days to the blood moon}I woke up to the sound of a loud banging on my front door. I felt that Mr. Gordon was the person knocking, so I tried to keep my eyes shut and ignore the sound. But the knocking continued. So, I had to drag myself down the stairs and open the door. It surprised me to see Jasmine smiling with two cups of coffee in her hands. “Good morning, sheriff,” she said. “I figured you'd still be asleep, so I brought you coffee.”“Oh, Jasmine, this is all sweet,” I said. “But you don't have to worry about me.”“What am I supposed to do, then?” she asked. “You don't want me to go to school. You don't want me to go to Abby’s house, you don't want Abby to see me. I'm not exactly occupied right now.”“Okay, come in,” I said. “For a moment. I need to get to work.”She nodded and handed me a cup of coffee as I made way for her to enter the house. “Your house is back to normal!” she exclaimed as she sat on a couch. “Did they also bring your wife and daughter b

TREVOR{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}“Goodbye, Trevor Coleman. Thank you for your service to Jericho.” I kept staring at the note on the door and thinking of how I let Abby down. I shouldn't have let them take her. I should've fought while I could see them. But I didn't, and it haunted me as I stared at the note, I wondered if I would see her again. “West view!” Jacob exclaimed. “That's where their primary base is. And Ashley mentioned they wanted to move. So, they must be at West view.”I felt a glimmer of hope that we could rescue her. “West view?” I asked. “It would take us about 14 hours at 70MPH.”“It doesn’t have to take that long,” he said. “Ashley, Kelvin, and Molly left for West view this morning. I took them on a helicopter and brought it back.”I tried to digest the information before speaking. So, I withheld all the questions I had to ask regarding the helicopter and said. “We should use the helicopter tomorrow morning to go to West view.”“Not so fast,” he said.

ASHLEY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}…. “And they have Henry Luther in their custody.”A few days ago, my parents were the Chesterfields. Abby and I were just teenagers, and I never knew about a town called Westview. How fast things change. “I didn’t know he was still alive!” Jacob exclaimed. “I thought they killed both my parents.”“He’s in the red chapel,” Kelvin said. “I was one of the people who kidnapped him when I was with the shadow clan. So, I’m certain that he’s alive. They want to use him and Ashley for the blood moon sacrifice.”I stared in silence as they spoke. I had never asked Jacob about our parents, and we hadn’t discussed the fact that we were siblings.“Westview must be a very eventful place,” the sheriff tittered. “The shadow clan has a chapel there for their sacrifices. And Jericho’s primary base is also there.”“Here’s what we’re going to do,” Molly demanded. “We would head to Westview this morning on the helicopter. Once we get there, we go after the sh
