Novel & Cerita The Strangers 2 Luke

Caleb stood up next, leaning on Thomas for balance. "What's your name?" Noah asked, watching the scarred brother carefully as they walked out of the tunnel into the cold wine cellar. "I don't have a name," the stranger said flatly as he led them up the narrow stone stairs toward the kitchen. "Arthur Vance called me Subject Eleven. But the doctors at the private facility in Maine just called me Luke." Luke led the six brothers through the pitch-black kitchen of Blackwood Manor, exiting through a small side door that opened into a thick patch of pine trees behind the house.

We had once walked side by side and loved each other deeply, and in the end, all that was left was two strangers on separate roads. From here on, his torment, his regret, his loneliness had nothing more to do with me. My road, my love, my gaze: everything lay ahead of me, as it always had.

A chill ran down her spine at that statement and she closed her eyes trying not to think about how true it could be. “That was a mistake, and I could see you through the camera you know…” She argued back then sighed, “Why don’t you come up for now,” she said. “Wow, I’m honored,” He answered back as he disappeared through the door. Nadia looked back down at Luke, and he looked back at her with guilty eyes. “Luke, what did we say about letting people in?” “Not to let in strangers?” He answered softly. “And what are strangers?” “People you didn’t give permission to get in,” He sulked.

“Breaking: Emmanuella Moretti and an unidentified stranger found dead in a hotel room. The stranger, suspected to be her killer, is believed to have taken his own life after the murder. Police are investigating the incident…” I didn’t need to read more. The words were enough. When I looked back at Luke, the fake smile had returned to his face. It was eerie, like he was savoring my reaction. “Don’t worry, mate,” he said confidently. “I made sure to clear all the CCTV footage—corridors, everywhere. It’s a perfect job. The stranger’s been framed for the murder of your wife.” I could barely breathe. Perfect job? How could he be so calm about this? It was one thing to be involved in the mess,

a voice yelled from behind, running to switch off the gas cooker. “Looks like the L-birds are at it again. I mean, you couldn’t even smell the burning food.” Darren leaned on the counter, shaking his head. “Uh uhm..” “Uhh, Luke. Mom said to take him with me.” Darren explained, glancing between Lucas and the stranger. Darren moved over to whisper something in Lucas’s ear. Claire faced the familiar stranger, squinting her eyebrows like she was trying to remember something. His eyes are like Lucas’ but his are deeper than Lucas’, like the ocean on a winter.

Frantically searching for help in the pulsating crowd, he felt a surge of relief when he saw Luke approaching overthe man shoulder. With a swift and determined move, Luke grabbed the stranger by the nape of his neck, effectively forcing him to release John. The sudden liberation from the unsettling encounter left John catching his breath, his eyes wide with a mixture of fear and gratitude. Momentarily losing his balance, John found himself on the floor, looking up at Luke's outstretched hand. Grateful, he grabbed it just as he heard Luke low growl directed at the man. The warning in Luke's eyes was clear.

“Earth to Nina.” A familiar voice came from behind me, breaking me out of my lustful fantasy. I felt my cheeks go red as I looked up to see Luke standing there, and hoped that he just thought that my red face was from the cold. “Hey, Luke,” I said, clearing my throat and trying to quell the tingling in my panties. “Need something?” “Did you not hear me just now?” Luke asked. I shook my head, and he sighed. “There’s a group of strangers that just came into town. They’re werewolves, but I don’t think they’re Crescents. And they keep saying that they know you.”

I look up towards the rooftop of a mid-rise building, seeing his silhouette against the moonlit sky. Liam. >Rooftop. Night< Upon reaching the rooftop, it´s Liam´s face that greets me. “Laura.” However, there are others. Patrick Grayson steps out of the shadows. “We need to talk.” Another stranger then appears from behind Patrick Grayson. “My God, it is you.” I stare at the stranger standing beside Patrick Grayson. “Laura, it´s me. Lucas.” I peer at the stranger, attempting with great difficulty to remember who he is, anticipating that seeing him will trigger another glimpse into my memories of the past. Yet there´s nothing.

Nadine said cautiously. “I can help make plans.” James replied. Nadine was about to tell James off when Luke came into the room. “We need to go.” The stranger said. James turned to Nadine, kissed her on the head and did the same to Jeremy and then walked out of the room. Luke simply nodded as if they were strangers and then the front door closed, leaving Nadine confused and frightened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucas whispered to himself, Roman heard but didn’t seem to pay attention “What is this? Where am I?” The stranger growled as his eyes darted to Roman, who was leaning closer to him but moved back when he saw the anger in his eyes “Relax, I’m Roman and this is Lucas. We helped you when we…. I mean we are not trying to startle you” Roman stuttered and the stranger looked confused and looked back at the chains on his hands and legs “You suck at this speech thingy” Lucas leaned in to whisper to him
