In the dead of night of October , in the small town of Mill Creek silence lingered on that cool breeze evening . Nothing could be heard other than the eerie whistling of the trees whose branched and leaves moved in tune with the billowing wind. The crickets chirped , the small critters tending to their everyday routine ; the rabbits made their way into their Burrows , a snake hissed slithering as stealthy as possible trying to return to its home where it's eggs were waiting for her. A fox pounced in the woods trying to find it's dinner.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAosK4XcmXc7
Unbeknownst to the residents of Mill Creek , a loud cry of agony - a voice that clearly expressed immense pain tore through the forests where no one could hear.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAlDPxh3cBOX

"Scream all you want " Elias smirked , blue green eyes that appeared in day were bright red - the color of blood. Sharp canines were protruding from his gums. Canine teeth that resembled that of some carnivorous beast flashed bright on that dark night.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAX2aXC3puW7
51Please respect copyright.PENANAytn6R93cRt
"Please ....let me... go." The man said with a pleading sob , a large chunk of his neck had been torn out , blood was profusely escaping. Elias reviled in the sweet coppery smell of the red fluid - the ultimate elixir.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAPdphhXBMxF
Dove whose mouth was smeared with blood walked towards the bleeding man , "you brought this on your self. I'm sorry ." She then pounced on him like a wild animal not stopping until he stopped moving. She ripped his entire mid section with her carnivorous fangs letting out a satisfied hum while feeding.
51Please respect copyright.PENANALIGh2fsghj
Elias watches with a satisfied smirk as his sister didn't stop feasting on the carcass - Dove rarely went all out when it came to prey but right now she did look like the huntress she truly was. The Drak , their kind were hunters and predators in nature , even the other factions in Zenith knew they were the most lethal for a reason.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAbLTOJknsCu
"He definitely got on your nerves didn't he?" He asked smirk still intact.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA5BXoRsVaD9
Dove's red eyes slowly reverted to that of her sparkling Amber ones looking like the angel she was even with the blood . No one could imagine that underneath her docile sweet face masked a very dangerous predator - the devil was an angel once too .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Z0OEJuOh
51Please respect copyright.PENANAtt7yDNrGu2
She wiped the blood with the sleeve of her jacket , "didn't like him much. He was too touchy."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAffYfTsEwF7
51Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Jt7T0aFU
"I see that's why you tore his hands off first ,"Crystal said in a tone that sounded very amused while meticulously cleaning the traces of blood that had got onto her.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA6ToD5hv4zK
"Give to Crystal McLain , " Elias applauded in an obvious fake tone , " the only Drak who could still be prim and proper while hunting ." His big sister just gave him one of her favorite death glares.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAjwi0YRPqWz
"It's called leaving no evidence behind you douche bag."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA9pFQG3JyaF
Elias touched his chest fondly, "sis ,you wound me you know that."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAvyhOix44Rw
51Please respect copyright.PENANAwExGmpoYMS
"If you two are done ," Dove looked at them like a disapproving parent , " can we go now. It's late and I'm tired and I don't want to be in this forest any longer "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAJimtxJaGVj
51Please respect copyright.PENANALqtDTCL00F
"She's right ," Crystal wiped her lips , the red blood eyes of their predatory nature slowly shifted away to display her deep brown calm eyes. Yet even with her natural eyes , Elias always noticed that she looked like the hunter she was - like they all were.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAdYk0VlqlAB
"Come on," Elias pretended to pout and smirked , his sharp fangs showing. "why do you always have to be a party pooper Crissie."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAj2qNdnQTVb
"We still need to get moving." She chided him ,"and don't call me Crissie."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAsNUCjBzfcY
She always hated that stupid nick name and he fully well knew it but of course it would be out of character if her brother didn't get on her nerves. She turned to her little sister , "start their truck Dove."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAYSQZClxX0V
Dove scoffed and rolled her eyes , "what am I your servant" but she managed sure her cocky response was low too for Crystal to pick up.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAlj1G3fUyyh
Dove wasn't the most vocal but even Elias knew making a remark to Crystal that too to her face never ended well for either of them. Apart from being the oldest , Crystal was the strongest amongst them even if it didn't look like it . Crystal being the oldest amongst loved to boss them around reminding them of the fact.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAuzZpvTJzJc
51Please respect copyright.PENANAf5kXqTKvea
The blonde male then noticed one of their little meals slowly trudging trying to escape unnoticed. Elias smirked at his Sisters , "seems I need to take care of my course ."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAnshKq7cFww
"Just hurry up ." Crystal nonchantly left following Dove .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAywwtOGwA0J
Elias maintained his red eyes - the eyes that even terrified those in Zenith and in this human world . He knelt before the man feigning sympathy , " where do you think you're going Dennis." With all his strength he roughly yanked the man's hair
51Please respect copyright.PENANAm2jnVyuIhv
"Please..please ," the human blabbered over and over , "let me go. I won't tell anyone anything please "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAchL4F55H79
"How come?" Elias feigned innocence , "you and your buddies seemed very eager to be close to my sisters and I when we asked for a ride. " Elias did not appreciate when human men thought they could try to be indecent with them.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAJallGM4YVU
"You even hit on me , quite shamelessly - I thought we clicked ," the blonde pretended to be mad . "You think you know a guy " he shrugged nonchantly before deciding to grip the human's neck pressing enough pressure to break the wind pipe.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAA0wSkcPuJX
"Why ...are you ....doing this." Dennis choked tears in his eyes.
51Please respect copyright.PENANABdpy71DfKD
"You ever heard of the food chain Dennis was it?" He ignored the guys pleading sobs , "you see you're at the bottom , very bottom " at least even the Aakin who didn't have any ounce of magic nor power were better than these powerless fools who walked this world.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAxEZ7xyzXml
"I'm a hunter , the most dangerous type there is , and those like you and your little friend over there ," he chuckled at the half eaten corpse across , "are prey - you are food. It's natural so no hard feelings Kay?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAMVoVmsQzus
"What are you ?" Dennis sobbed , "you aren't humans."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAWO8dzWSLpg
A sadistic grin made its way on Elias face - his fangs seemed to sharpen more they already were , eyes the color of blood "I would tell you but what's the point if you're going to die ."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA87OAorXmhM
Elias sunk his fangs into the neck of his prey . He ignored the prey's screams that echoed throughout the woods. He then bit the prey's chest tearing a large chunk of flesh automatically killing the human. Elias didn't stop , he continued feeding on the corpse's flesh growling like a lion when it hums from sastification from a deer's meat .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAxejR9IxwED
51Please respect copyright.PENANA7P3q0QE7rK
Elias got info the truck of the men they had murdered and feasted on , Dove was in the driver's seat .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8oCnr8H0n
This was how they usually hunted - pretending to be hitch hikers neeci g a ride - it was the most convinent to catch prey. And with how gorgeous he and his sisters were ,it was very difficult for humans to resist falling into their traps - mainly the pervert dirty minded ones.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAek1zXDlS8i
" No fair Crissie , I didn't call shot gun and you're ready in the passenger seat." He complained with an eye roll that his sister ignored .
51Please respect copyright.PENANA6NbuT9JUj5
"Ready?" Crystal asked while putting on the seat belt. Just because they were stronger and didn't get injured easily did not mean safety didn't matter.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAWxWN8vnzOF
Elias smirked and licked the blood from his fingers , "let's get this show on the road."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAGbupEHimFu
Dove smiled and started the car , "to our new home."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAW0JQUxfxgu
They continued traveling in the dark early hours of that morning . The three were ready to venture into their new hunting location.

"Why do we have to go to high school?" Elias complained with an evident scowl on his face , " what are we the Cullens?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANA2BMMJLr0Dx
"The Cullens are vampires - we aren't." Dove stated as a matter of fact clearing not getting the sarcasm. Their kind were not immortal (and not fictious) they only had long life spans , but she did agree with her brother because she wasn't into the whole repeating high school for eternity gig.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA60VVLowAaZ
The Golden blonde haired boy ignored her and focused on Crystal and continued ranting , "why would we go to school. A human high school for that matter"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAYTe5L3CMd0
"We need to lay low. It's not a freaking request Elias "
51Please respect copyright.PENANABitUwHANqr
"No one tells me what to do." His eyes slowly started to redden and he saw Crystal’s turning as well.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAqQp1QncoHo
"Okay don't fight you two ," Dove put herself in between them instantly getting into the middle sibling mode. " We just moved and I'm not in the mood to deal with the aftermath of your fights. I'm not constructing another room ." The glare the middle Drak gave the two was enough for them to calm down.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA8QKezb9QeS
51Please respect copyright.PENANANAMvNyx9Cg
"We have to stay low ." Crystal explained looking bored , "that means blending in with the humans here. You and Dove are the right age to be in high school" The eldest McLain never understood why her brother just couldn't go a day without getting on her buttons.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAAGQZAR2kAz
Elias let out a childish groan , "we never went to school in Boston , nor in Vegas so why start now."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA9A08i2bUG6
Crystal looked at him like a teacher who was fed up with a student who kept repeating the same question over and over , "this is a small town if you haven't noticed. We teens to be inconspicuous as possible to blend in. So whether you like it or not you're going to school. And for goodness sake put on a shirt already!" She added as she left the room.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAGGecPqEkp9
Elias scowled even more and plopped into the sofa next to him wearing nothing but shorts, "I don't want to go to high school. Aren't online schools a thing or something "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAJe3HivGVbF
Dove just shrugged and tried to be optimistic, "maybe it won't be so bad "
51Please respect copyright.PENANApFZdQnDeJT
Elias looked at her as if she was stupid or something. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like it one bit.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAEhoucYaNAV

51Please respect copyright.PENANAOAqfn5ltv0
51Please respect copyright.PENANAaK11UKixJ3
Elias was really wishing he could rip Crystal's head off clean but unfortunately he was sure she would be faster in beheading him instead .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAuWcydE9M5U
51Please respect copyright.PENANA7PHo2SKtLm
Barely eight minutes and he was loathing the school with pure passion. It was too noisy for his sensitive hearing , everyone was - human schooling seemed like being in the actual jungle . The infrastructure looked old and his ears were too sensitive for this
51Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NTsoFEUK
"Why is it so noisy?" He asked with evident disgust in his face - humans were always noisy for some reason or the other .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAOin5olzHMq
Elias eyed the teenagers , he only liked humans when he was feeding on them or when he was chasing them for sport or flirting with them and using them to satisfy his sexual desires. Being in this school definitely felt like a peneitiary - a hunter caged in.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAuQzIMTlinh
Dove looked around the school seeing the posters , "look. They have an LGBTQ club. Maybe you can join them."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAQwa95mSv8M
"Haha very funny " the blonde male's voice was basically dripping with sarcasm.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA2mbySObkqJ
The honey blonde haired girl gave him a look , "I'm serious , I think I might join the cooking club as an extracurricular or this music club."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA3nXEuMDUqA
"Joining a bunch of people in one room without eating them will make me crazy." He took the schedule Crystal had organized for him , apparently he was in eleventh grade , " Well I'm off to class. Chow."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAmDdfPamSTu
51Please respect copyright.PENANA9rEPV3iyqF
Dove shook her head at her little brother , of course Elias wouldn't get involved in anything that didn't matter to him that's how big a narcissist he was.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAlkuAuDGvqS
Finding the science class wasn't a problem but Elias dreaded the exact moment he walked in and all eyes fell on him and as much as he usually enjoyed an audience now wasn't those exceptional times. He was going to get back at Crystal.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAIgwuW4zL5J
The Drak was grateful the teacher , a man who went by Mr Smee who had an awful incredibly bald patch and a grumpy look on his face and couldn't bother trying not to look so miserable while teaching , didn't ask him to introduce himself.
51Please respect copyright.PENANANDMNY0QU8c
"Another one huh? " The man sneered , "find yourself a seat."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAGrxJvGvAeB
Thank goodness he didn't ask me to introduce myself like a preschooler . Elias thought to himself planning on eating the man at some point.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAo0SZ0l7m1t
51Please respect copyright.PENANAgPnTAN40DL
Elias noticed the boy - the one with light brown skin who lived behind his new home was in this same class - maybe high school wouldn't be so tedious after all. He smirked as he made his way behind the neighbor's desk while purposely ignoring the other students who were already his handsome features .
51Please respect copyright.PENANASTY31zdfl2
51Please respect copyright.PENANAUMNwU2AK00
When he walked into most rooms , all attention fell on him , no one , guy or girl could ever take their eyes off Elias McLain , it wasn't only being a hunter in his nature but also the ability to captivate anyone with those piercing blue green eyes of his.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAuXF1jGZorB
So it was unusual to see how the other boy next door didn't seem to notice Elias ' presence , instead his neighbor seemed to be scribbling down something onto a note pad which kind of ticked the Drak that some biology text book seemed to be an object of someone's attention than him.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAszaUmOlXNf
Elias sat down and tapped the other on the back ,"Hi buddy"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAlgfIuezQTr
The light skinned boy who lived next door looked at him with a bewildered expression on his face that Elias wanted to poke at.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAbmyXz7RMTk
He put up his most charming "Ethan right?."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA9DYOa4ojWq
The teenager nodded , "Yeah. You go here too?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAVdLcsanpH5
"Unfortunately." Elias muttered he didn't understand this plan of blending Crystal had devised - they always were messy with their meals, sloppy if even but Crystal had never made them live under the radar .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAeG0dHQdBQy
He cleared his throat , "my sister Dove and I enrolled today. Aunt Hari wanted us to integrate with the town." The lie came out naturally .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAzBxbfGv0AF
"Aunt Ha- oh you mean Mrs Harris." The light skinned boy then gave him his attention. "Where did you and your sisters move from ?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAP6vn0RT6AH
"Boston."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAzJX1csTXag
"I see."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAHQYpLN6K8L
The Drak noticed the way the guy's eyes gave him away; As a hunter , he knew how to study his prey -their very behavior indicated what they felt and the same applied to humans of this world . This boy didn't seem to trust him that Elias could see.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA7MAPpXtDnN
51Please respect copyright.PENANASrRAFi9Oz5
The prowler of the night found himself wondering how the teenager tasted like. The meat of teenagers was always more delicious than the adults. Maybe he could keep this Ethan as a play thing before eventually feeding on him like the others .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAIm2EpYK0OP
51Please respect copyright.PENANA15WzczrIke
He then smiled at the neighbor leaning a bit closer , " since you are the only person I know . You wouldn't mind showing me and my sister around do you?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAC5qHfQ8Vu0
51Please respect copyright.PENANAivbxPsWO4x
He noticed the way the light skinned brown seemed to contemplate , "uh...sure thing."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAgoIYrGKGlW
Elias smiled rather devilishly, "Ethan . Tell me are you single."
51Please respect copyright.PENANADIQWYCV5tb
"What?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAocIKN0LT9z
51Please respect copyright.PENANAkt6r4pG3I8
Elias found the other guy's reaction to be amusing , "have you dated. Any ex girlfriends."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAup0g1pt5F3
"Uh... singular , I had a girlfriend but we mutually broke up "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAkqoxsOJT02
"Damn ," the Drak let out a low whistle , "I did not think you actually had it in you "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAa4uxXrVRQ1
He saw the other boy look at Mr. Smee who was still writing on the board before he looked at him again.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAJd0U6mCpsj
"Why are you asking such questions?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAnZnLzFhOeM
Elias' smile or rather smirk didn't falter , "sorry. I'm pretty straight forward , Crystal calls it nosy . I hope I didn't offended you." He added the last part with fake sincerity which seemed to work.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAhN4pybObHf
"No you didn't offend me. Most people just don't ask such questions upfront. What about you? Any girl you left behind in Boston ?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAg2dM8nYVcG
"Nope. Besides , I left a lot of girls prior to that city ."
51Please respect copyright.PENANA1l5vbnyA1G
"Judging by that I assume you date a lot"
51Please respect copyright.PENANASaoBbthDCO
"I don't date per say ," He wasn't a relationship person , "my last girl Livi. Olivia , Livi was my nickname for her, anyway she was the only girl I had been with for long ."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAIFusqqdcny
51Please respect copyright.PENANAcW2dqhAeDL
That and probably because Livi was a Dayana and chosen maiden se thought could break her vow of celibacy by seducing jet and he quickly learnt a lesson from that experience; never try to mess with a Dayana , those goddess descendant bitches were vindictive when provoked .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAEbbmQ4yQ5X
"So -"
"Mr. Bennett , is your conversation with James Dean over there more important than the lesson?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAG0b98SPRmZ
51Please respect copyright.PENANARAGslgHJpB
"Sorry Mr Smee." Ethan sheepishly apologized while Elias rolled his eyes , it was official the latter was going to eat the man.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAqspY0KL7fN

Ethan
51Please respect copyright.PENANAwzxxbD3MLE
All the students of Mill Creek were presently gathered in the school auditorium waiting to be addressed.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAXI0oeLwIeP
51Please respect copyright.PENANA2AEK1czwm5
51Please respect copyright.PENANAZQOiqGXwkq
"It's weird right?" Alicia exclaimed.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAjgJ5GijPiT
"What is ?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAobXTBIR9md
"Your new neighbors ," she said and that got his attention .
51Please respect copyright.PENANARx4wao31jA
"What about them?"
51Please respect copyright.PENANAALVdBymDTF
"They have only being here two days and these losers want to be their friends so bad." By ' losers ' she meant their peers and most of the students in school that also included the actual dorks , geeks , nerds , jocks , goths cheerleaders and other popular crowd
51Please respect copyright.PENANAcrx9rtT6PI
51Please respect copyright.PENANAAcP3z6zLM9
Alicia Olivar was that one girl who merely loathed everything and everyone and rarely liked anyone (Ethan excluded of course )if it wasn't for her nose piercing , and the usual flannel shirts , ripped jeans and sneakers , and the occasional specs she had on and off , Ethan could swear she was a real live Wednesday Addams.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA064MrgTgis
He turned to look at the new students in Mill Creek High , Dove and Elias McLain his neighbour's relatives.
51Please respect copyright.PENANALacr3fHUa2
"I mean they do carry that certain vibe." He said to Alicia.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA2DiZYORkpH
Dove and Elias had only been in school for a week but yet they attracted the others the way light did with moths. Almost everyone in Mill Creek Highwanted to befriend thrm , the jocks and cheerleaders were even inviting them to hang out which was odd especially since the residents of Mill Creek (the student population) were not very accepting of outsiders .
51Please respect copyright.PENANAUMc4i4WGHu
51Please respect copyright.PENANA4nWDk3oW4U
But yet again , the McLain siblings were the most attractive people in school it made sense why alot of the guys were fawning over Dove and Ethan couldn't lie he was attracted to her on a mild level , her sweet nature made gave all the more reason for the boys to be entranced with her.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAxDPmyiRByd
51Please respect copyright.PENANArjEG7DAqoN
Elias on the other hand seemed like sex on a stick , girls practically flirted with him so openingly and he responded to their advances , a bit too promisciously . Ethan had noticed Elias was sort of narcisstic, the blonde male knew he was attractive and hot and made sure others saw it , definitely taking a thrill from it.
51Please respect copyright.PENANACc9LpJfojj
51Please respect copyright.PENANADQDevaHB1H
If their elder sister , Crystal was a high school senior , Ethan was sure thays when the trifecta of all three siblings would be at it's peak. Dove and Elias were already getting popular and soon enough
51Please respect copyright.PENANAs7I1vL7qsN
51Please respect copyright.PENANA43QmZjiXTg
"What are we talking about?" Win said sitting in between Ethan and Alicia.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAgJwEqiQtjr
Ethan smiled at his other friend , "nothing. Just seeing the way the Mclains are fitting in ."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAikwWxnn1Zw
"They are assimilating with the wild quite easily. Ethan , I just asked Dove of she would like to join the club , she said she'll consider it. That girl is such a darling ." The boy said with dreamy sigh and Ethan hummed in agreement.
51Please respect copyright.PENANACYNxMRagaj
51Please respect copyright.PENANAlq0jFCvlpd
"Oh great." Alicia murmured.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAzYwvEGFyGy
Win turned to her with a huge grin , "don't worry. You're the only girl in my heart. "
51Please respect copyright.PENANAGr9w2EaCJH
51Please respect copyright.PENANAYRI8PbSRwO
51Please respect copyright.PENANAcr3vCDC2yf
Win was short for Winfrey. Winfrey Sommers had great childlike eyes even though he was sixteen , red brown hair and freckles splattered across his face. Everything about him screamed jovial and excited if that's how Ethan could describe him. Win was such a handful apparently even his mother would tire out .
51Please respect copyright.PENANACPuYtAoqHf
The Spanish girl hissed , her patience was clearly being tested , "why don't you go flirt with the girls of that hippie group you're both in."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAIbBYdzxbRx
"How can i flirt with any other girl when you're the one that resides in my heart. You love me Alicia bear. You are much cuter when you wear your specs ," Win said with a smile .
51Please respect copyright.PENANA8O0YUSU2u3
"Those are for reading you ding bat."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAs3lmLIZxqB
51Please respect copyright.PENANAgPRZXI4QzK
, "I learnt Spanish especially for you amor- "
51Please respect copyright.PENANALgddi5hz6R
"Fuck off " Alicia said flipping him the finger , "don't you dare learn my language. It's the one thing you haven't stolen from me." The girl then muttered something in the lanuage that caused Ethan to snicker.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAnCme9AwbP3
That did nothing to deter the grin on Win's face , "Ms Olivar. One day you're going to become the future Mrs Sommers."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAQpEjgpzP6v
51Please respect copyright.PENANAneII3Jg66q
Alicia's annoyance quickly escalated to fury "You little -" she hit the red head boy over the side of his head with so much force he whined.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAiFmJOaTbfG
51Please respect copyright.PENANAvbw47YI1D8
Ethan shook his head amused ; where as Alicia was his best friend , the type he could have a serious conversation while Win was that one friend who kept the situation light hearted .
51Please respect copyright.PENANARqdZGWvORH
Just then Principal Darrin walked into the auditorium along with Sheriff's Arnold and his young deputy Higgins. Ethan tensed , the last time the sheriff was here it wasn't good news and the grim look on the man's face told Ethan everything he needed to know.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAKsp5Tdskp8
51Please respect copyright.PENANAMvmzICO77I
"What the heck is the sheriff doing here?" Win asked.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA7al3sStsPC
"Clearly he isn't here to give advice on career options " Alicia deadpanned.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAwC36uqd0s0
Principal Darrin cleared his throat getting their attention. "Good afternoon dear students of Mill Creek High. I'm sure most you want to go home already ...but this assembly is very important. Please listen and corporate with the Sheriff and his deputy."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAla5QjysMp2
A few applauded when the sheriff took the stage. The man did a curt nod and stared at them with a pokerfaced , "I'm sure y'all aware of the recent animal attack that claimed lives of Hunter Stanford , Gregory Bright and Dennis Mallard last week."
51Please respect copyright.PENANAaxAx602Znf
Ethan subconsciously nodded ,last week , the bodies of three men were found brutally torn , he had heard that one of them had his entire middle section eaten and his hands cut off. The thought made him cringe.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAboEZKLKhEJ
"Unfortunately I'm to be a harbinger of more bad news." That seemed to get all their attention. " In the last few days a couple of murders have occurred , not animal murders. Three bodies have showed in the last few days. We have tried to prevent panic but I'm afraid ....that's not the solution. The victims' hearts were taken out based on the patterns of the recent murders - a serial killer maybe on the loose ," the sheriff said much to the shock of the student body.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAqvyK0bXyuO
51Please respect copyright.PENANAp99EjTFh1M
"A serial killer!" Win shrieked along with many others.
51Please respect copyright.PENANAPEcRHKGz8X

Ethan didn't know why but on Instinct he turned to stare at Elias and Dove. The nephew and youngest niece of Mrs Harris didn't seem very bothered by the declaration that the town they just moved into now had a serial killer - their reactions did not match the panic that he and the other students had written on their faces.

Dove , with her angel face , seemed pokerfaced showing no reaction at all. She just sat there seemingly unbothered by everything. But it was Elias' facial expression that caught Ethan's attention. The Golden blonde boy was smirking . Maybe they were used to this things? Elias did mention they were from Boston and murder cases were probably frequent.

"We are still trying to find the animal , for now we ask you youngsters to cooperate. Like we said last time , do not venture into the woods. Always walk in a friend group if possible ," Deputy Higgins said , the only black woman in the town's police department. She then looked at them seriously , "for your safety and the rest of the town we have issued a curfew . Everyone must be indoors by six pm."

That caused many to boo and shake their heads but it was the sheriff's loud voice that shut them up , "this is for your safety. Mill Creek isn't safe anymore at night now. Until we catch this mountain lion and the killer you'll have to abide by these rules unless y'all want to get yourself killed."

Ethan looked at his friends who were just as nervous and uncomfortable. First the animal attacks , Mrs Harris abruptly leaving without word and no a potential serial killer. What the heck was happening in Mill Creek?
