Chapter 21: Where is Moira?

Once dismissed by the Storms, I headed back to mom’s. I will much rather go with them to uncover the mystery behind the new development. But for once even Silver took Kayla’s side on this matter. Though she didn’t say anything, her bleak expression was enough confirmation of the dangers ahead. The death of Tessa was just a picture of a puzzle of webs and the fear of more deaths hung over our heads even though none of us said anything before we parted ways.Mom was waiting up in the sitting room for me. Her sweater was so huge she looked tiny in it. Her eyes brightened the moment I pushed the door open.“Where have you been?” she inquired.“I went for a walk, mom.”Her eyes followed me. She rose from her seat. I couldn’t contain the emotions inside me anymore. WhiSare was unsafe yet she and the rest of the townspeople knew nothing about it. I closed the distance between us and threw my hands around her. A few seconds later she was hugging me back. The tension in her shoulders dropped.

“That’s Moira’s cousin Leroy.” Kelly pointed to someone in the crowd. Standing beside a huge burly man was a mid-schooler way taller than most middle schoolers, his gray pullover hoodie hung on his lean frame. He stood awkwardly, waiting for the man and woman who bore a striking resemblance to Moira, to finish greeting the bereaved family. After a while, he looked over and saw Cara and Kelly waving him over. His brows shot up but he strode slowly to meet us.“Hey, Leroy. Is Moira still holed up at home?”His raised brows lowered to a frown. “Moira isn’t home,” he said in a low voice that was once again way too deep for someone of 12 or 13.He glanced at Liam and Jeff his eyes now wide with questions. My heart fell to my stomach. I held my breath to calm my beating heart but I couldn’t shake the fear that my suspicions are right. Moira is not just missing. She has probably fallen victim to the danger under WhiSare’s calm.Leroy’s eyes darted in my direction and he tilted his head sligh

Chapter 23

“Uhm guys I need to take a leak.”My heart was beating with anticipation…and was that excitement coursing through my veins?Four pairs of eyes turned to look at me.“Yeah, okay, just be careful, there might be some wild animal on the loose.”“Sure,” I replied quickly and hurried off in the direction of the tunnel before anyone could suggest peeing at a closer distance. My eyes went up, searching through the sparse trees on the cliff for any signs of movement. Maybe Silver or Kayla was up there trying to get my attention.My phone rang again. I picked it the call.“Follow my directions, Pretty boy. Climb the cliff and turn on your right.”Stones and twigs crunched under my boots as I ran up the steep surface of the cliff. Loose stones ran down the slope. I took my steps carefully to avoid drawing the attention of any of the crew down the lake. The view from the top of the cliff in broad daylight was breathtaking. Over the horizon the woods stretched out, below it was the lake and at th

If I could even call them that. Gone was their human features. In place was inhuman beauty and clawed fingers. They had the black and red eyes of hungry daemons. Leo bared at his teeth, red eyes flashing from me to Kayla to Miles and Silver.A chilly wind blew against my flesh but what pricked the hair on my skin was the cold look in Moira’s eyes. Her lips stretched in a terrifying smile.Leo smiled with satisfaction as the rest of us looked shocked at the sight before us. He took a step forward. Silver growled and took a step toward him but Kayla shot out a hand to hold her back.“That’s right. Hold your dog back before I tear her in shreds.”It was Kayla’s turn to step forward, her eyes flashed a glowing red with flashes of amber.“You overstep your boundaries you worthless fool. Silver doesn’t need me to hold her back to destroy you. Why did you do this?” she asked gesturing to the body in the rocky depression. “What do you want?”“Starlight.”Kayla glanced quickly at me. Perfect a

“Who is Starlight?” No one answered me. My mind was a cave of interwoven thoughts all channeled to one coherent thought. Starlight. “Who is Starlight?” I demanded again. Kayla straightened her shirt and turned, she was avoiding my eyes. Silver stood oblivious to the whipping cold. She stared at the dust at her feet and the injuries still oozing blood from her arms. Miles had shifted back to human form. He too was naked but luckily his jeans wasn’t badly torn so he concerned himself with putting it on. “We need to go to the godfather. He will have answers,” Kayla said dismissively. Ignoring the foolishness in what I was about to do, I ran to Kayla, took her shirt by the neck and shook her. The coldness of her flesh bit through my skin. “Who is Starlight? And what was Leo talking about? Why don’t you drink human blood?” A lot of questions but very little answers. As crazy as it sounds my being here did upstart something that has been brewing for a long time. Kayla’s expression r

Chapter 26

The interior of the Storms’ house was classy if a little bare. There were almost no chairs, just one of two couches and a center table in the living room when I walked in. The walls were painted white and the windows were shaded with dark curtains. A staircase wound to the second floor to a landing that had a black rail balcony.“Have a seat,” Kayla motioned, her voice tight as she spoke.I obeyed but I had barely taken my seat when a strange small figure appeared on the landing right above the staircase. I recognized the face immediately. It was the face in my dream. Her ebony black hair fell in a wavy curtain around her shoulders, red eyes set in the most beautiful young face ever peered curiously at me.Kayla made a sound and my eyes drifted to her. She had the look of an overprotective mama bear. “Come here Starlight, someone is dying to see you,” she drawled.Starlight walked down the stairs, her movement ethereal and regal almost like she was floating. She stopped on the bottom

“Shawn!”“DeShawn Hunter!”The voices were getting closer still. I was already slightly covered with debris but I bent to cover myself in even more dirt to create my alibi.“DeShawn!”“I’m here,” I called out, making sure my voice sounded as weak as possible. Making sure I looked as disheveled as I wanted, I made my way toward the voices and came out to the clearing where Cara, Jeff, Liam and Kelly were searching. They turned around as soon as I came into the clearing.“Jesus! Shawn! Where the hell were you?!” Jeff asked running toward me. Cara was right behind him. She passed him furtively looking behind me as though she was half expecting something to jump through the trees.“I’m sorry guys,” I chuckled hoping I sounded as nervous as I wanted to feel. Deliberately brushing off the visible twigs on my body and hair. “Something jumped at me while I was peeing.”“Something?!” Cara shrieked. “Was it a bear, a wolf, a coyote?! What?”“I-I don’t know. I didn’t get a look at it. I ran as f

Chapter 28

I didn’t expect mom to readily agree to my leaving WhiSare, especially during the crisis going on, and truly she wasn’t ready to believe the lie I told that I needed a vacation in dad’s summer villa just yet. She stood over me like an overprotective mama bear watching me pack my bags later that night asking if Cara knew I was leaving, if it was necessary for me to go, if my leaving had anything that do with the missing persons and frankly I wanted to tell her the truth but what good would it do when it would only increase her anxiety and overprotective mama bear instincts? So I repeated the same lies over again. “I just need to go away for a bit. Yes, it’s a bit overwhelming being new in town with all this bad news about missing people.”“But you don’t have to leave. Weren’t you just worried about my safety after Tessa’s Candle service?”“The more reason I should leave because I don’t want to cause you any more worries than you already have. I know this sounds selfish but Logan is he

Silver took the lead and pushed the door open. We all stood in shock at the sight before us. The occupants in the room hadn't even noticed we were standing there.I tried to look away but my eyes kept coming back to the lady in an hostess uniform with her hair packed up in a very neat bun. Her skirt was bunched up around her waist. Her panty hose had been ripped at the bum to allow access for the cock of the man who she fucked. He sat on a small couch. His head was thrown back and he was the one grunting heavily, gripping the hostess' ass while she bounced on his cock laughing.Kayla drew Starlight to her side and quickly covered her eyes but Starlight was laughing. Once again I tried to look away. They didn't even notice we were standing there.Silver had a naughty smile on her face as she finally stepped into the office and knocked on the opened door."Shit. Oh, shit!" The hostess' exclaimed as she hurriedly got off the man's lap. His cock slipped out of her, silky, wet and rigid.

Miles carried our bags to the storage area. Two hostesses assisted him, carrying the bags through the center aisle to the back. Silver collected the keys. She left us for a few minutes and when she came back she was dressed in flying gear with a pair of headphones, to muffle the sound of the engines, tucked under her arm. She handed one to Miles as soon as he was done loading our things. Kayla boarded the plane with Starlight behind her. Starlight immediately went to the cabin to sleep leaving me and Kayla alone in the sitting area. She chose a sit at the other side away from me. Silver came to the back carrying snacks with a wide smile. She looked between me and Kayla with a knowing grin. "Is this your first time on a private plane, pretty boy?" I raised my brow at her. "My father is one of the richest men in the world. Do you think we don't have a set of our own?" Silver chuckled raising her hands in surrender. "Okay pretty boy, don't get too salty..." "My name is Shawn!" "
