EPILOGUE
Derik walked out of the hospital. Full of smiles as he edged towards his car. For the first time he felt like he had done something worth it.
“Things are going to differ from here on out.”
When he had entered his car, he plugged the keyhole to start the engine, but then his phone started ringing. He looked over it to check the caller ID. Horror crept over him when he saw the name.
Murphy.
He froze, his body trembling.
I don’t understand.
He felt his body quivered.
I have never saved Murphy’s contact on my phone. How then is someone calling my phone with the name of a dead officer?
He felt nervous as he picked the call. Placing the phone gently over his ear, he uttered a soft hello. He heard nothing—just a cold silence from the other end. He knew someone was listening. Then the call ended.
Derik felt a cold shiver racing down his spine. Sudden

“Where is the boy?” he questioned calmly—voice sounding dangerously low. “Go to hell!” she bawled, glaring at him with scorn. T-Murek snorted at her rage. “Do you want to die like this?” he gestured towards Sinclair’s body, which lay just a few inches away. “In a matter of minutes, your husband’s body would serve as food for creatures that walk these woods. Do you want same fate to befall you?”Rebecca was crying, yet she felt furious. She snarled at him, her eyes bloodshot and filled with unrestrained rage. “You would have to kill me before I let you lay a hand on my son, you bastard!”Rebecca couldn’t understand where the sudden courage to face T-Murek came from. She felt invincible at that moment, like she could do anything—like she could take him on.“Very well.” His lips curled into a scornful smile. “We’ll have it your way.” Her hands folded into a tight fist and remained at her side. And just then, she understood where the courage came from. She drew strength from the desire
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER ONE: THE TRUTH ABOUT CEDRIC
The early morning spring sun dangled overhead, its rays spilling into the house—as if in a strange contest of might. Kevin came and stood at the entrance. He rested his hand on the rough paintwork that coated the door and pushed. The room, partially illuminated, was warm, and the warmth found his face. Far across, away from the reach of the sunlight, on a leather couch next to the curtained door, sat Cedric. His attention was fixed wholly on a magazine that he held. Kevin walked into the room and shut the door, sealing off every trace of sunlight. It became dark in the room. He walked past Cedric without so much as a glance. “Where have you been?” Cedric demanded, eyes still fixed on the magazine. He stopped in his path, turned to look at him and said nothing. “You didn’t come home last night,” he finally took his eyes off the magazine and fixed them on him. “Why?” “There was something I needed to take care of.” “You mean this?
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER TWO: THE PHONE CONVERSATION
Shady, dressed in prison uniform, sat on an old, beat-up bench, glaring at Frank, who sat directly opposite. He sat with his arms cuffed, watching as Frank scatter several registers on the desk which separated them; he was searching for a particular file. They have been this way for the past ten minutes since he was pulled out of his prison cell.Shady groaned with impatience. “How much longer do I have to wait?” he said impatiently, keeping the heat in his voice at a low simmer. “It’s been like forever.”Frank ignored him, then singled out a card stock sheet from the bunch and glanced through it, nodding in satisfaction when he confirmed it is the file he had been searching for. Then he read the name on the file aloud, “Mr Shade Casper…”“Shady,” the thug corrected him.Frank read again, glancing at him momentarily, “Mr Shady…”He stifled a groan. “Just Shady is
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER THREE: BEOCRAFT
The figure, clad in a black baggy garment, sauntered down the passageway. Something about the way he walked struck Kevin as odd—he walked as if his feet were controlled. This inspired horror in Kevin. He felt an unnatural energy engulfing him. The fear spiralled through every nerve in his body, and he wondered what was going on. What is that thing? Thereafter, he heard the door open, then clang! All was calm again. After the hooded figure had vanished through the main door, he quickly ran to Cedric’s room to see if he was ok. Standing in the doorway, he called out Cedric’s name in a hushed voice but found that he wasn’t in his room. No one was. Kevin’s eyes were drawn to an empty suitcase lying on the table close beside the bed. He blanched, and his eyes became wide as though he’d seen a ghost. Then he returned his horror-stricken gaze to the passageway, and it all began to piece together. The hooded figure… is Cedric. He felt his heart pounding as he stood there in a dilemma. Now
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER FOUR: A DROP OF FEAR
Gasping, Kevin bolted away from the door to the side and pressed his back against the wall, heart throbbing within his chest, legs trembling. After a minute, he stooped to steal a peek through the keyhole. When he did, he found himself staring into the bloodshot eyes of the hideous creature. It stood behind the door, peeking through the keyhole, watching him.Kevin trembled as he stared into the creature’s deeply colored eyes. Gasping, he fell backward, his body frozen all over in fear. He dropped to the cold floor—chest heaving, shuffling away from the door. Glancing upward at the keyhole, he saw the large, red eyeball move to focus its gaze on him.Kevin was alarmed and immediately sensed danger. The creature kept staring at him through the keyhole with fierce eyes. That wasn’t right. Why is he just standing there, behind the door, doing nothing—only staring?The answer didn’t come quickly, but the voices in his head told him to r
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER FIVE: REASONS TO FEAR
Kevin was dumbstruck, and his eyes went round as he turned to meet his gaze. He is also a shifter? He could never have guessed. Derik went on, “My mom and dad died a few years after I was born.” His body stiffened as he sucked back a deep, quick breath. “They were shifters too.” Kevin felt a pang of sympathy for him and said, “My heart goes out to them.” Derik said nothing. Tears threatened to form in his eyes. “I didn’t even get to know my parents.” Kevin thought sharing his own story might let him see that his own case wasn’t unique. “T-Murek killed them before I came of age, and he is out to torture me the same way he’d tortured them. He is just waiting until my twenty-fifth birthday to do it. He wants to fulfil a promise he made to my mother several years ago.” Suddenly, they heard a car horning ahead, and Derik looked up at the road, his eyes widening at the approaching truck. He quickly realized he was driving in t
Watch Her Die (The Beocraftian Gambit - Book Two) CHAPTER SIX: ONE LESS DETECTIVE
Leonard’s body was covered in cuts and bruises, his mouth frozen in an open scream. Strands of veins were visible across his neck, and his bloodshot eyes were wide open, staring at the crowd in a way that made most of the people that gathered there uncomfortable. Just like Murphy, his chest was torn open, and his ribs were visible. His heart hung from his chest. The corpse appeared pale from losing too much blood. Struck with revulsion, Kevin quickly turned to look away, tears forming in his eyes. He never could have believed this would happen to Leonard barely two days after discovering Murphy’s corpse in that warehouse. Several seconds later, having made peace with the fact that Leonard was truly gone, he slowly turned to look at the body which lie in the same spot Mirabel’s body had once lay. His fingers folded into a tight fist as he forced himself to look away. But he couldn’t. His gaze remained fixed on the corpse, tears sliding down his cheek, lips trembling.

He stood from the bench and trudged towards the birds. And as he neared, he noticed they were the same crows from his dream. Only inches away, the crows stopped to stare at Kevin in a way that struck him as odd.He quivered at the sight of their scary red eyes looking up at him and stopped dead in his track. They let out loud caws, as though they perceived him as a threat. Then they spread their wings and found flight.Almost immediately, a flurry breeze blew in his direction, brisk, cool. Kevin heard a voice from the wind call out Natasha’s name in a faint whisper. The voice was clear as day. He’d heard the same voice last night—in his dream. There was no mistake.Kevin’s eyes widened when he suddenly realized he was reliving a moment—a moment that had already happened in his dream. Suddenly, he realised what was going to happen next. Heart pounding against his chest, he took out his phone to call Derik.“Derik&h
