Kate Schmidt Fear Street Novels & Stories

She didn’t cry. She just breathed. Because for the first time in a year, the world felt quieter. And Ethan Cross— The man she had lied to. The man she feared. The man who owned the darkness she had survived— Was no longer just watching. He was claiming.

But she just had to raise her guard up. “What?” Sarah felt surprised hearing the words coming out from Kate. “Blood sucking demon?” Sarah almost choked on her spit. So her face squeezed hard. “No No, it's not that, not that. I_ I'm…”Kate stutters off. She was really scared, her emotions weren't stable, she couldn't think. She was just stuttering hoping what she was saying made sense.

The Hammonton air kissed their skin when they exited the plane and headed to the airport’s exit to grab their Uber. Kate began babbling to Alex about how she developed a fear of height after she fell from their porch railing to the ground. The height difference wasn’t much but it was enough to scare her from thereon. * * * Aiden paced the length of his office, calling Kate’s number but she wasn’t picking the first few times. He tried again but it wasn’t connecting. It’s already nightfall yet he hadn’t left Brazzers Where could Kate have been?

So she had just suffered for nothing? “Are you deaf?!!” Liam shouted Kate flinched when she heard his voice and she inched backward; she was sweating all over and shaking like a wet rat; before she could find her words, she felt a sharp pain on her head as someone tugged her hair from behind, such that she was now staring straight at him; When her eyes saw his expression, she knew she was as good as dead. Kate thought she had seen all expression on Liam’s face from his aloof cold and icy, fearful, and devilish, but at that moment, his expression was much more dreadful than anything she had ever seen.

“I was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, so I went downstairs. When I walked to the stairs, Madam Summers was about to come up and screamed all of a sudden. I wonder if she’s possessed.” Susan was good at adapting to changes. She clutched her chest and said, “I just saw a black cat with green eyes! I’m most afraid of cats!” “All this fuss just for a cat?” Jared frowned. “Besides, there’s no cat in the house. How did you see a cat?” “She must be in a daze.” Fiona immediately helped her mother explain. Yvonne did not speak as she saw clearly that Susan screamed the moment she saw her. ‘If she didn’t do anything wrong, she wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. What is she afraid of?’

“But you know what I mean.” Letting out a shaky breath, Kate tried to hold back the tears that lined her eyes, sucking in her lower lip to still her quaking chin. “The scariest part of all of that was…” she trailed off, the buildings disappearing, leaving nothing but a blanket of blackness for her to gaze upon. Through the window, the reflection of teary, red eyes stared back at her and she shook away the memory of dread that coursed through her. “Was the possibility of having… having to go on…” Fat tears rolled down her cheeks, the back of her hand lifting quickly to swipe them away. “Without you. I don’t want to… I can’t even begin to imagine how empty I’d feel without you.”

Her fork slowed mid-air. “Koa?” A breath of energy curled through her soul. “I feel it too,” she replied. “She’s afraid.” Cheyenne’s eyes slid to Isolde across the table. The vampire was eating, talking quietly to Thorne — but her shoulders were rigid, her eyes too still. Whatever had haunted her when they found her… it was still here. “Should I say something?” “No,” Koa murmured. “Just look at her. She’ll feel it.”

From where I sat, I could only stare in horror while my heart pounded violently inside my chest. “Oh my goddess…” “Is that really an attack from a Lycan Lord or from a god?” someone shouted fearfully. “This feels like doomsday,” another person muttered in dread. “Can Alpha Kingsley even survive such an attack?” someone suddenly asked nervously. The faces of the Blood Moon Pack members had all turned grim. Even Kate now wore a serious expression filled with fear and apprehension. For the first time since I met her, she no longer looked arrogant or composed.

Kate noticed. Her stomach turned. Because the shimmer didn’t stay steady. It flickered just once. A flash, like a heartbeat skipped. And in that flicker, she swore she saw something. Not a form. Not a face. Just pressure. Like eyes peering straight through her skin, tasting her fear. She flinched, breath catching, and Tyler’s head whipped toward her, his gaze demanding answers. She shook her head quickly, swallowing the panic. She didn’t want to distract him.

But I couldn't deny that I was scared, scared of the thing or being in front of me. "Let's try it, Kate. I want to stimulate every inch of your body," he said, slowly walking closer to me. I recoiled, sitting back on the bed and shook my head, as I saw his tentacles slithering like they had a life of their own, spreading anxiety throughout my body. "Kate," he called me. I felt the slow crawling of his tentacles on the bed, and before I could run, it snatched my leg. "Ahhh! No, I don't want this!" I was terrified, the thing felt so slippery and cold against my skin.
