Description
Jak's phone ringing is what wakes him up.
Jak answers his phone drowsily,”Hello?”
“It's Max, you need to get to the wolf den NOW!” Max demands on the other end of the line.
“Max… It is 1:30 in the mo-”
“JAK MY FATHER HAS BEEN ATTACKED”
“By who? The killer?”
“I THINK?!?!?"
“Either way, I'm on my way!T”
Four minutes later, Jak was greeted at the entrance to wolf den by Max.
“Hurry, follow me closely!” Max exclaimed in urgency.
Jak was led through a dim cave, only light by candles, that smelled of wet dog. There was major commotion because of Arkell getting attacked.
When they reached Arkell, he was swarmed with other lycanthropes, like bees swarming a hive, tending to his injuries. The lycanthropes had removed Arkell's shirt which revealed about a hundred cigarette burns and scars on his front side alone.
Arkell had passed out and had gotten shot in the middle of his chest, he was bleeding profusely, his blood was black. Max quickly addressed that Arkell was not mortally wounded. Jak squeezed into the swarm of lycanthropes around Arkell and stopped the bleeding.
They moved Arkell into Max's bed and soon Arkell woke up, with Max sitting over him, Jak sitting in the corner of the room and Arkell's sister, Alyssa Duskblade, blocking the door so no-one would disturb them. A few hours later, Arkell woke up.
“Max?” Arkell croaked out.
“Father! You're awake!” Max joyfully exclaimed.
Arkell again barely croaked out,”Max… are… you… okay?”
Max replied,”Yes, I'm fine, Father. Get some rest, you need it.”
Soon Arkell was asleep again. Jak was startled by the vibrating of his phone in his pocket, another call, from Tiyk.
Jak answered his phone,”Hello?”
“Hello, Sir” Tiyk replied
“What is it?”
“Two more people have gone missing.”
“When?”
“Last night 2 houses were broken into. Neighbours reported a winged figure flying of with the victims struggling to get free.”
“Who are the victims”
“Whitney Alice, Age: 22, Race: Human. Also Todd Wight, Age: 16, Race: Human.”
“Let me guess, you've collected statements already?”
“Yes, Sir”
“Tell me something surprising.”
“Ebony Justice Duskblade was spotted at both of the victim's houses 10 minutes before their kidnappings.”
“Okay. I'll be on my way to the castle soon”
“Alright goodbye, sir”
Jak hangs up.
“Max, may we talk in private?” Jak asks.
“Shouldn't this be private enough, no-one is in here except my father and his sister?” Max asks in reply. “Concerning the information, no,” Jak replies.
“Fine. Follow me.” Max instructs Jak.
Jak follows Max to a secret room.
“So what is it?” Max asks.
Jak replies,”There were 2 more disappearances, and your mother was spotted at each of the victim's houses 10 minutes before they disappeared.”
“Oh, My… why? She wouldn't ever… but her mental condition… Just… Wow,” Max says shocked.
A buzz emits from Jak's pocket, its a text.
“What this say?...'Marcus Galin has disappeared… Kidnapped in the middle of the night like the others… His wife was killed in their house.' Crap...” Jak reads.
“This is getting worse and worse,” Max states.
Jak tries to change the subject, “Let's go check on your father.”
“Alright,” Max replies.
When they get back, Alyssa isn't at the door.
“Alyssa?” Max worriedly asks.
Alyssa moans, She had been stabbed in the gut.
“Max help her, I'll check your room,” Jak commands as he draws his sword.
Jak walks slowly into the red painted room.
As Jak saw the bed he instantly notices that Arkell was defending himself from his wife, she was trying to stab him.
She had already stabbed Arkell in the leg once, in the arm once, and stabbed through both of his hands. Jak quickly runs over and rips Ebony off of Arkell and pins her against a wall as Arkell comprehends what just happened.
Max walks in and sadly states, “She's gone…”
Max quickly realizes who Jak is pinning to the wall.
“What th-”
BANG!
