Melody Of The Deadwood Novels & Stories

The lobby was a bloody mess. My stomach churned when I saw all the people that were dead, on the floor and were being stomped on by others fleeing or pursuing their target. I breathed, my fingers shaking, watching Melody smirking like this was fun as she pointed her gun towards another werewolf. I couldn’t stop it on time. The shot rang out, meeting it’s target straight through the head. “What the fuck are you doing?” I lost my cool and tried to snatch the gun from her but Melody stepped away, staring at me like I was the weird one.

He’d placed his hands on her shoulders to steady her, but immediately removed them when he was sure she was alright. “I apologize,” Melody stammered as she looked back at the window. Angel was no longer there. “I guess I’m just clumsy.” “This area is full of ruts, ma’am. There used to be a settlement here called Muddy Creek. The snow melting on the mountains runs down her for a good deal of the summer. Heavy wagons bringing goods to the residents and wet grounds don’t mix.” “I heard some mumblings about this place the night we stayed at the ranch. Is it true that all of the people of the settlement were killed by the notorious Jones gang?”

Melody stepped over the corpse calmly, humming a low chilling tune. Her claws extended and she tore open Rhea’s chest with ease, cracking bone like wet bark. She reached inside. Pulled out a still throbbing heart. It beat weakly in her palms. She sliced off a piece with her sharp nail, brought it to her lips and chewed slowly. A shiver of pleasure crossed her face. “…sweet…” she murmured. Her smile darkened. Her eyes glowed brighter. Then she crossed over Rheas body, still munching on her heart and left the meadow.

The aged voice sounded like a demon. A man entered the frame before he lifted the unconscious Melody from the ground and held her up by the window. His face had aged and looked much more fatigued. It overlapped with the blurry memory of the father who silently kneeled beside the girl's corpse. It seemed that taking Mom's life wasn't enough for them. They wanted to kill Melody too! She would also lie in a pool of blood, gasping for breath as she vomited blood through her open mouth…

The morgue was cold, carrying a foul, sterile smell. Expressionless staff pushed me into a metal drawer. With a soft "click," the door closed. The system's voice echoed in my mind. [Death confirmed. Final storyline completed.] [Countdown to soul departure: 71 hours 59 minutes.] [Please await the opening of the passage.] I drifted in the cold, hollow air and let out a breath. Finally, things were coming to an end.

He shoved the dead man aside and scrambled to his feet. Melody stood at the entrance to the hall, her hair pulled back and a gun in hand. She still wore her blouse from earlier, but she'd changed into sweatpants. The gray, loose fitting ones he'd bought her when she'd spent the weekend at his place unexpectedly. He hadn't wanted her to leave to go get clean clothes, so he'd done one of those order online and have it delivered in two hour things. "Are you okay?" She didn't lower the weapon, but kept it trained on the front door.

“In the dungeon, just use that entrance, walked straight and take your left. It's dark inside but I bet you can use your wolf sights to see.” She directed and Vasperia nodded, a dull ache spread in her chest and she asked the question she didn't wanted to ask. “What killed Melody?” “She fell for Raze, he got angry one days and…and it went ugly..” “He killed her?” She gasped in shock. “I don't want you to hear it from my lips, but you can put it that way.” She twitched her lips, enjoying the reach she was getting from her. “Was she a wolf like me?” She pressed further, she wanted to know what she wanted to get herself Into.

The stench that came from her made everyone cover their noses and mouths. Melody did not pay attention to their strange looks. Instead, she grabbed Derek’s arm tightly. “Derek, you’re the one who egged me on and made me throw my mother’s body into the sewer! I won’t forgive you for this! “Besides, you knew all along that it was my mother who died, right?! Otherwise, why didn’t you let me look at the case files from the start?! “Richard not only killed my mother, but he also desecrated her body! He’s never getting out of prison for the rest of his life!” Melody screamed hysterically.

It didn't matter that we'd have to travel up there; once Melody's birthday passed, we'd launch an attack. After talking about it for a while, Holden finally asked about Melody's well-being. He said he had seen her and my mom hugging at the pack's training grounds entrance. "Her father committed suicide moments ago; Melody wants nothing to do with him," I revealed, knowing at some point the rest of the pack members needed to be told. "That coward, taking the easy way out," he spat, drawing a chuckle from me. "What's funny?" He asked, eyebrows raised as he looked at me as if I had a third eye.

His voice was low and clear as he announced, "He has been dead for over three days. The body shows clear signs of postmortem lividity and early bloating. The victim appears to have died from mechanical suffocation." Hearing the words "dead for over three days", Dad reeled. The color drained from his face instantly, leaving him as pale as a sheet of paper. When an officer pulled back the white cloth covering my face for identification, Dad finally got a clear look at my swollen, distorted features, mottled with dark purple spots. He could no longer explain it away as paint or a tantrum. The next second, he doubled over against the wall, dry-heaving violently as if he were going to throw up hi
