Roger is making himself something to eat in his kitchen, it's late evening and Jason has just left. He grabs his phone and the screen catches his eye, it has a picture of him and Ava, he is overcome by a feeling of guilt. "How do I tell Ava that I still love Jessica, I know she will be devastated and I don't want to be responsible for her heartbreak. She does not deserve this, she is kind, loving, and deserves to be with someone who can love her completely and truthfully and that's not me." Roger pours himself a cup of coffee and takes his coffee and the pasta he just made into the living room and finds a seat at the dining room table. "I should at least call her now to let her know that I'm alright, but I should speak to her face to face about me and Jessica, this is the hardest thing, I have ever had to do. If I leave it for too long it will just be worse." Roger takes a sip of his coffee and stares at the TV which is switched off, his mind starts to wonder as he remembers the hap
Ava is laying in her bed, she breathes in deeply and sighs. "I really don't feel like getting out of bed today, I was worried sick over Roger last night but I never called him. I'm so afraid of where our next conversation will take us. " She pulls the comforter over her head and tries to go back to sleep. "I have to open the salon." Ava forces herself out of bed and walks over to the kitchen and pours herself a cup of coffee, she pushes aside the curtains by the kitchen window to see the rain pouring outside. Ava takes a shower and gets ready to leave the apartment, as she gets to the front door her phone rings, it's Roger. "Hi, How did things go last night?" " It went ok, we have a common enemy and I'm going to help him get rid of Aiden once and for all." "I'm glad to hear that you are ok." "Can we meet later for lunch?" Ava's voice trembles as she answers him. " Yes sure, we can meet up at the diner nearby." "Ok great meet later?" A single tear rolls down Ava's cheek. "Looking for
Roger is sitting in the diner, his head in his hands covering the tears that pooling in his eyes. He looks out of the window next to him to see Ava running across the street towards her car parked across the street. The rain is still falling and the clouds are dark as night. He suddenly hears a voice in his head. "She wasn't for you anyway, now the nightclub can continue!" "Aiden?" "Who else do you communicate with telepathically?" "Have you been spying on me all this time?" "Yes but not in the way you are thinking, I can't listen to your conversations. Look to the table in the corner of the diner." Roger looks in that direction and a man wearing a tight, white t-shirt and black leather jacket waves at him. "Do you really think I would just let you roam around the city freely, now we can get back to our regularly scheduled program." "I'm not playing your games anymore Aiden, I killed your highborn last time and I warned that I will kill you next." "You are so close to getting your s
Kaleb is standing on the top of the ring. He is lifting his arms in the air once again and jumps off, landing with his leg squarely across Roger's neck. Roger grabs at his neck in pain and is struggling to breathe. Kaleb lifts Roger off the floor and opens his jaws revealing his large canines and prepares to dig his teeth into Roger's throat, Rogers uses all his strength to push him back and starts swiping his claws at Kaleb, this time his claws scratches his chest causing deep gashes and sending blood spilling onto the white floor. Kaleb starts to swipe back at Roger, drawing more blood. His hits are more powerful than Roger's and he feels every painful strike, sending him to his knees. Roger thinks to himself "Is this it? is this how it ends? Kaleb is too skilled and powerful, I can't defeat him." Roger is sitting on his knees with Kaleb standing over him ready to strike his final blow. Roger starts to think about Jessica, he imagines a life with her as a full human. " No! I can't
"Let's go to the coffee shop next door." Ava points to a nearby coffee shop and she and Jessica walk over. "So what do I owe this visit to?" "My friend, Jason, the hunter called me he said there are other hunters coming to the city and they are looking for fae. that is what you are right?" Ava has a look of fear on her face and the tears run down her cheeks. "Yes we are fae, how far are they?." "He said they will arrive this weekend." Ava rises to her feet, Jessica can see that she is really panicked and starting to hyperventilate and gets out of her seat and hugs her. "Don't worry, I came here to help you, they won't hurt you, how many people in your family?" "It's not just my family, we are a whole community, almost 200 of us, I need to go and close the salon and we need to move tonight!" Jessica is surprised by the large number of fae that was in the city. "Don't worry, we will find you all a new place to stay and Jason will make sure they will never come after you again. Ava hug
Jessica is back home, she just got out of the shower and is brushing her hair while looking in the mirror. There is a knock on the door, she runs over to the door and opens it. Roger is standing in the doorway, he looks exhausted. "Roger, what you doing here this hour,? It's 3 o clock in the morning." I saw you missed calls, I'm sorry I was asleep nearly the whole day. I was fighting one of Aiden's highborn and in his werewolf form he was a skilled fighter and it took everything I had in me to beat him." "Oh my God, I am glad you made it out alive, I can't wait till this nightmare is over." Jessica signals Roger to enter the apartment and she continues lamenting. "I really wish we could just be together and I won't have to worry that today is the last day that you are with me." "Don't worry, soon we will be rid of Aiden and his pack of wolves, why did you try to call me?" " I spent the day with Ava today, Jason told me that there are hunters coming to town, and they are hunting fae.
Jason is sitting at a bar, enjoying a drink. he is waiting for the two hunters his uncle spoke of to arrive. A young woman with long blonde hair tied up in a bun sits next to him at the bar and signals the barman. She is wearing tight black leather pants and a leather jacket. She places her motorcycle helmet on the bar. Jason ignores her but notices her bracelet starts to glow "Could this be the hunter? But she looks so young. How could she be hunting with my parents all those ago?" She notices Jason staring at her, she smiles and reaches to shake his hand. "Hi my name is Anna, you must be Jason, your uncle didn't say you were so handsome." Jason shakes her hand, he can't hide the confused look on his face. "I know what you're thinking, how can she be friends with my mother and still look so young? Oh, Jason, you haven't even scratched the surface of all there is to learn of this world." "I thought there were two of you." "Viktor is on his way, he just had to make a stop, but I see
Roger is racing down the free at high speed, trying to get to the nearest hospital. Jason is in the passenger seat of the vehicle, blood is flowing from his abdomen and his mouth. Jason can hardly keep his eyes open and drifts in and out of consciousness "Stay with me, Jason!" Roger is driving erratically and struggles to stay in his lane as he looks over at Jason, trying to keep him awake. He gets to the hospital and pulls Jason out of the car. "Someone help! my friend is dying!" Some nurses rush out with a bed and they lay Jason on it and push him into the hospital and straight to an emergency room. Roger is stopped from following them into the emergency room. Roger is clearly disturbed by the events that happened earlier and paces up and down the waiting area of the hospital. "I need to call Jessica." Roger takes out his phone and dials Jessica's number. "Hi, Jessica." "Hi Roger, is everything ok? You sound upset." "I'm here at the hospital." "Oh no! are you ok?" "It's not me it'
It's been two weeks since Jason was discharged from the hospital. He is recovering from his injury and has used the time to read the old books in uncle Ivan's basement, opening his eyes to the world of the unnatural and ancient knowledge used by hunters before him. It's late in the evening, he is sitting in a chair at home reading one of the books. His phone rings, Jason looks at the screen and sees that it's uncle Ivan. He has been avoiding Uncle Ivan's calls ever since being discharged from the hospital. He doesn't know how to tell him that he doesn't want to be a hunter anymore and uncle Ivan shouldn't contact him anymore. Jason knows that uncle Ivan won't take the news easily and it could lead to a physical altercation. He decides it's now or never, he needs to get it off his chest tonight. He answers the phone. "Jason my boy, where have you been hiding. I have been trying to get a hold of you, Anna, and Viktor. It's like you all fell off the face of the earth these last few wee
