2023-10-16 15:11:16"Jane, get away from there!" Tom yelled but Jane was so lost looking, more like she was in a trance even with the gun aimed at the werewolf.
Tom could not think of anything better but firing at the werewolf and the werewolf gave a loud sound and attacked Jane.
Throwing her away after it's claws had hurt Jane on her hand. Tom let out the second fire and the werewolf ran toward Tom very fast and the breeze blew him to the floor.
Before Tom could catch his breath, the high school gym was empty and disorganized. He looked around and saw the crashed window.
He rushed their to check but the werewolf was totally gone. It escaped again.
Who could it be? It's never that they would be there?,or was it a set up?
He was so lost in the thought looking out of the broken window when Jane groaned and he remembered her.
He ran to her side and checked on her wound.
"It's gonna be fine" he said and picked his phone and made a few calls.
He was by her side for a few minutes before the ambulance and the police team arrived at the scene. The rescue team rushed to them and carried Jane into the van and left.
Hank and Dave walked up to Tom who was looking so disorganized and anger.
"What is the situation at hand sir?" Hank asked and Tom turned back and looked at them. "It attacked us like it was well informed about the situation."
Tom said and the officers looked at each other.
"What does that mean sir?" Dave asked and Hank, whose head was down, raised his head up and looked at Tom.
"Do you mean someone tipped the werewolf?" Hank asked and Tom looked away instantly.
"It's looks like it!" Tom replied and Hank chuckled. "It's not possible sir, no one will work with an animal, a dangerous animal at that!" Hank responsed and Tom sighs.
He raised his head in frustration as he could not seem to see a solution still.
His eyes went straight to the CCTV hanging up. He smiled and looked at the officers.
"Get me the CCTV footage of this room and the guy who came to report at the station, set up a meeting with him. I have some questions for him." Tom said and walked towards his door.
"Okay sir!" They both responded and walked away to get the duties done.
This is so annoying!
Tom said as he kicked the plastic in his way and walked straight to his car.
Home sweet home.
He could see the lights on when he drove into the compound. In no time, he put off his jacket and walked straight to the door and unlocked it with his keys.
"Emily, Are you in?" Tom called out immediately. He pulled off his jacket and placed it on the dining chair.
"Dad!" She said as she walked out of the kitchen in a short gown and her hair loose, falling on her shoulder and also with two cups of tea.
"Welcome home!" She said and handed him the cup of tea and Tom sighs as he collects it.
He sipped a little and looked at Emily who was a lot quiet. He could still the light of her mother in her.
Long dark hair like her mother and those eyes, brown eyes, it's just like the woman he loved all his time as a youth.
"Dad,I am sorry about today!Me and the girls were…" Emily said looking down at her cup and was so remorseful but Tom interrupted immediately.
"Emily, enough, I still don't get it, I have tried hard as your father but I don't know what else you want as my daughter because you are not getting any younger.
You and those girls don't belong together, don't you see, from clubs to bars to night shows, is that you?" Tom said and Emily looked up at him with a drop of tears on her cheeks.
"But they care about me!" Emily said and Tom chuckled.
"Care about you!Come on, Emily, what is wrong with you?" Tom yelled and Emily stood up and looked at him and this time, she was crying.
"At least, they have my time!" Emily said and walked out and straight to her bedroom.
"Did she just leave!" Tom said to himself as he looked around and picked up the cup of tea again and sipped a little and he involuntarily looked at his side and saw the picture of his wife.
He smiled a little and picked his jacket and went straight to his room.
The next morning
Tom was already dressed for work and he was making breakfast for himself and Emily. He brought the breakfast out to the dining table happily and after a few seconds.
Emily walked down lazily in a nice short skirt and a crop top and in her Nike sneakers. She turned her face cap to the back to look at her father.
"Morning sunshine, breakfast is set!"
Tom said and Emily looked at the table and could see her favorite was well set on the table. Tom must have been up for a while to get it done.
She looked at him and looked away with a straight face and pulled her face cap back to the front.
"Morning dad, I'm going out for a set meeting, have a nice day!" Emily sat and walked to the door.
Tom could not believe Emily ditch his hard work. He looked down at the meal, he took his precious time to make and sat down. He ate his part and packed Emily's part in a lunch box.
He walked out and straight to his car.
He entered his car and sat in while he placed his bag and the lunch box on the passenger's seat and he looked at the rear mirror and the passenger's side mirror afterward and he saw a figure.
The person was staring at his car.
Someone with visible blood on his shirt and a wide grin on his face.

Tom paced nervously in his living room, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending danger that lurked in their quiet town. He had invited his closest friends over for a discussion, hoping to devise a plan to protect their community from the bloodthirsty werewolves that ravaged the town every full moon. As the murmur of conversation filled the room, Tom took a deep breath and addressed his friends."Thank you all for gathering here today," Tom began, his voice laden with a mix of urgency and determination. "I have been doing some research, and it seems that using mountain ash on the doorsteps of every building in town could potentially stop the werewolves from causing harm during the full moon."Martinez, one of Tom's trusted advisor, leaned forward, her gaze focused intently on Tom. "Mountain ash, huh? That's an intriguing idea. Considering its folklore, it just might work. I would say it's a long shot, but it's worth it. You know we've only heard that mountain ash stops werewolve

The full moon hung high in the night sky as the members of Marcus's pack gathered in their secret meeting spot deep within the woods. The air crackled with anticipation as they awaited the arrival of their alpha, Marcus. He was a tall, broad-shouldered werewolf with a commanding presence, and the respect of his pack was evident in their eager expressions.Marcus finally came out of the shadows, out from one of his rooms, he scanned through the whole room, staring deep into eyes of his pack members. There was tension in the air and it was very obvious, everyone was concerned by what Marcus was about to say. They had thought by now Marcus would have addressed the Emily's behavioural issue at the last meeting and maybe today was the day."You all wonder why I called this meeting, right? We have a serious case on our hands. People who we thought of as less threats have been making moves. And it's not something we can overlook." Marcus said, his voice almost like he was afraid of somethin

The sun had gone down, no trace of it left in the sky and now, they stars had began to come out, twinkling in the dark sky. After the long day at work, other officers had left, but Martinez had waited behind for Tom as they had another one of their home investigation meetings. When Tom was done closing up, he and Martinez both shut down the office and left for Tom's house. Together, they took in the stroll of the town as they walked home. Their movements, side by side and slowly, almost like they were staggering.They were getting close to Tom's place and just a few houses away. Tom took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Lisa's number while he blushed, unintentionally.Martinez tries looking at Tom's phone to see who he was trying to call, but Tom wouldn't let her. "You know I don't need to look at your phone to know who you're calling, right?" Martinez said."And who might that be?" Tom asked."I know it's Lisa you're calling, silly." Martinez said."You really think you know a

Tom had shared a radical plan to use mountain ash, a powder known for its supernatural properties, to create a barrier powerful enough to keep the werewolves contained. The mere thought of such a plan filled Hank with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Finally, he could make a difference, protect his interest, and prove to Marcus, the alpha of the pack, that he was more than just a liability.Taking long strides, Hank reached Marcus's place, the overwhelming mansion nestled among tall pines. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, anticipation mixing with frustration. He wanted to confront Marcus, demand answers to why his pack had become so reckless, and maybe even convince him to put an end to the bloodshed.As he swung the cabin door open, Hank's eyes met Marcus's smirking face. "You!" he spat, anger bubbling beneath his words. "How could you let this happen, Marcus? People know now. They know that werewolves are responsible for the attacks."Marcus's laughter cut thr

The day had began to run down, the sun setting and everywhere getting darker by the minute, Tom finally left his office and headed to the hall of the station where meetings and discussions were held. He knew he had to tell everyone about his new plan since, they can help him to enforce it and make it work. On his way to the hall, he decided to meet Martinez at her office first.Tom’s footsteps echoed through the hallway as he approached Martinez's desk. With a sense of urgency, he called out, ""What's up, Martinez? Gather everyone at the station. I need to address them immediately. We have a meeting and I have a little piece of information I need to pass in this meeting." Tom asked, as they exchanged pleasantries.Martinez glanced up, her eyes wide with curiosity. ""Very well, Sheriff. Why are you headed to the hall? Tom, what's wrong, huh?" Martinez asked, trying to satisfy her curiousity. Tom got closer to her on her seat then, he reduced the tone of his voice. "We are slowly near

Tom, on his way to work had met some werewolves, but he didn't recognize them to be werewolves until one of them glowed his eyes during their conversation.Tom’s heart raced as he made his way to work, his mind unable to shake off the encounter with the mysterious group of werewolves. Their warning about his daughter, Emily, being in danger had shaken him to the core. He had always known that his daughter being part of Marcus’s pack came with its risks, but he had never imagined that his own flesh and blood would be used as a pawn.Unable to focus on anything else, Tom decided to stop by some shops along the way to work, hoping to clear his mind. Before Tom got to the shop*Tom had taken a turn from the bustling road of the town to a corner not too far from the station.It was then that destiny played its hand, leading him to a group of individuals huddled together in an alleyway. The moment he glanced at them, their eyes met and he saw the glow on their eyes, and Tom instinctively k
