ABBY{Thursday, a day to the blood moon}I felt a hand stroking my hair as I struggled to open my eyes. It relaxed me, so I lay still and let the warm fingers massage my scalp, thinking they were my mom's fingers. But when I opened my eyes, I grimaced as I saw Mrs. Chesterfield.“Hey, Abby,” she whispered. “How are you?”“I was better before I saw you,” I hissed.“You don’t need to be hostile to me, Abby,” she smiled “I’m still your mother. At least I was.”“What do you want?” I asked as I got up from the bed.“Well, Mr. Gordon asked me to bring you up for breakfast,” she said and tried to hold my hand.“Well I'm not hungry,” I snarled.“Your mom is in the cafeteria,” she said. “You can stay here and do nothing, or you can come to the cafeteria and eat with her. It's your choice.”I stared at her for a while before agreeing to go with her to the cafeteria. Armed men in black suits guarded the hallways. They were wearing masks with the symbol of Jericho on them. Mrs. Chesterfield opene

ABBY“What about Ashley?” I asked. “What happens to her after the blood moon?”“I have completed the experiments I intended to run on Ashley,” he said. “She won't hear from me again. Neither would your friends.”He furrowed his eyebrows and held his stomach after speaking, then staggered to a chair and sat on it. “What’s wrong with you?” I asked. “I’m fine!” He yelled. “Go back to your room.”I stared at him for a while and turned to walk away, but he called me back. “Please get me a glass of water.”I hurried to the cafeteria and picked up a glass. Then I rushed back to give it to him. But I was taken aback when I saw blood dripping from his palm as he extended it to take the water. “What happened to your hand?” I asked. He got up and stared at the hand without looking at me. I noticed the puzzled look coupled with fear on his face as he left the room, so I followed him. We went into a room for Mrs. Chesterfield to examine the palm, but the wound healed before she could look at

ASHLEY {Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}“She’s beautiful, isn’t she?” My dad asked as I stared at the picture. “You look exactly like her, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her.”“We need to find her,” I said. “You and I know that she's at Jericho's base. And you already know where it is. All we have to do is attack and rescue her.”“We've been over this, Ash,” he sighed. “You don't know how much I miss her. But we have to be logical. A thousand werewolves are no match for Yarikh’s box.”“Then we should find Kelvin and Molly,” I said. “It won’t be difficult for Kelvin to enter the base. He’s a shadow.”My dad paced the room and repeatedly tapped his finger on his lap. “Getting in might not be a problem for Kelvin, but how would he get out?” He asked. “And even if getting out wasn’t a problem for him personally, how would he get your mom out?”“Molly,” I said. “She can create an illusion to distract them.”“It won’t work!” He yelled and stormed out of the living room.He wa

MOLLY{Wednesday, 2 days to the blood moon}I asked Ashley to run because I recognized the place Jacob landed the helicopter. It was the meeting point of the order of wolves in the shadow clan. The alpha pack surrounded us as Ashley ran away and they seemed ready to attack.“I thought you pulled out of the shadow clan,” Kelvin said as he wiped his blade with his jacket sleeve.“We considered it,” Jacob said. “But they offered to make us actual shadows after the blood moon sacrifice, the same way they made you.”“We won't let you use Ashley for the sacrifice,” I snapped. “If you want her, you'll have to get through us.”“Getting through you won't be a problem at all,” Jacob grinned as more werewolves emerged from different directions. “They'll escort you back to the red chapel,” he said. “Then they'll find Ashley and take her to the chapel as well.”Kelvin held his blade and stood in the Jōdan-no-kamae stance as he stared at Jacob. “There’s no getting through us,” he said. “I can take

ABBY{Thursday, a day to the blood moon}Mr. Gordon escorted me back to my room with a briefcase in hand. And I noticed as we walked down the hallway that almost all the armed men in black suits who were supposed to be guarding the base were going out with him. So I knew I would be able to sneak around to find the control room when he leaves.He smiled and handed me a key card. “I’ll be back soon,” he said. “And I hope I will be coming back with your sister. But in the meantime, you can go to the cafeteria when you’re hungry. And use the card to open the door.”“Okay,” I nodded as I took the card and walked into the room. I waited till I heard the rattling of engines before I tried talking to Blake with my mind. “Blake? Can you hear me?”“Yes,” he said. “I think Mr. Gordon just left the base.”“Yes, he gave me a key card before leaving. I’m coming to your room now”It was surreal to me. The fact that we just spoke with our minds. It made me wonder if I could do it with anyone else,

MOLLY{The day of the blood moon-Pt 1-Duel with Darka}I felt my chest tighten as I opened my eyes to see rays of sunlight coming in through the window. I tried my best to stay awake last night, hoping that morning wouldn't come, but I fell asleep and it came. The long-anticipated day of the blood moon.Kelvin refused to talk to me since he left the room yesterday. And I watched him through the window to see that he was practicing all night for his fight with Darka. The sheriff was asleep on a mat when I woke up, and Kelvin was still outside practicing with the spirit sword. So I went outside to meet him.“Hey,” I grinned.He looked at me without attempting to force a smile. “Hey,” he said and looked away. “I spoke with Blake yesterday,” I said. “He's in Jericho's base with Abby. And he mentioned that Abby found the way out of the base, but they would need help escaping.”He seemed taken aback as he stared at me. “How did you speak with Blake?” he asked. “And why didn't you tell me

ABBY{Day of the blood moon-Pt 2-Walls of Jericho}I woke up to Tiffany snoring quietly and breathing on my neck. She slept like a baby with her fists loosely clenched above her chest and her eyes flinching at every sound, so I stayed still to avoid waking her. Mr. Gordon offered that Trevor be the one to stay in my room, and he seemed overly excited about the proposal, but I declined. I couldn't say why I refused, but it had everything to do with the fact that I was anxious about the blood moon and more anxious about seeing my actual father. But even more terrified that I could speak to Blake with my mind. Blake said it meant that we had some kind of deep connection, and I felt it might be true because his voice in my mind sounded so natural. But I felt nothing when I saw Trevor yesterday. I thought I would be overcome with excitement when I saw him, but it was as if I weren't seeing anyone. Everything I felt for Trevor. At that moment, I couldn't feel anymore.Mr. Gordon entered th

ABBY{Saturday, a day after the blood moon}The silence was deafening. … ====°====…The FBI was waiting at the Lockwood signpost to arrest Mr. Gordon and the Chesterfields when we arrived. The rest of us went to a house on the outskirts of the town, where the sheriff's family and Jasmine were waiting for us.I was numb when I saw Jasmine. She ran towards us with a wide grin and squeezed Ashley and me in a bear hug, but we didn't smile back. We couldn't even fake it. There was nothing to smile about.Molly remained in the car, sobbing quietly and avoiding eye contact, while Jacob left with his pack.Trevor walked past me with a dour expression and dried up tears on his face. He avoided my gaze as we entered the sheriff's car and headed to Tiffany's house to break the news. The horrific image of Tiffany staring into my eyes in her last moments might never leave my mind. Before she gasped for air the last time, I saw the look on her face. And it haunted me. Me, her best friend's sister.
