2023-10-16 15:12:50Emily was surprised, twice in a day did men get attracted to her random painting and it's quite shocking for her.
"Yes sir" she replied.
"Hallelujah!" Father John said and stared at the painting in his hand.
He looked up at her face for quite a while as he still finds it hard to believe that she drew it.
"Did you see this painting somewhere or you thought of this?" He asked and Emily chuckled. She felt she was underestimated by the man in her presence.
"Father, I did the painting myself and I just sat here and the inspiration of the painting dropped in my mind"
Emily said and Father John gave a slight nod.
"Did you recently start painting or have you done a lot more than this?"
Father John asked as Emily was looking quite lost in the conversation.
"A lot more" she replied and father John nodded before returning the drawing pad.
"Whenever you are free, bring your painting over, let go through them and I can see your work is quite inspirational. I will love to invite you over and make you paint for the church"
Father John said and Emily chuckled, "what's the catch?" Emily asked and father John smiled awkwardly and Emily was lost.
"There is no catch, do you love stories?" He asked and Emily scratched her hair.
"I do" she answered and father John chuckled.
"Come around, I will tell you all you need to know about everything that is existing. I will surely be expecting sooner before it all starts to fade"
Father John said and she was confused. "Fade!" She repeated and father John looked at her and nodded his head in affirmation but picked up his cup.
"It's cold already!" He said nonchalantly and the coffee shop opened. Emily's friends jumped in their skimpy wear and father John shook his head in pity.
"Hello, mama," one of them said while the other ruffled Emily's hair. "Let's go on a ride!" They said before Emily could even respond to them.
"Hmm…" Emily wanted to disagree but the other girl who was rubbing her hair earlier, bent and picked her bag and stuffed all her things into the bag.
"No going back, let's go" the first girl insisted and pulled Emily.
"Okay" Emily said as she sighs and looked at father John's side and saw he wasn't paying attention to them.
She picked her phone and followed her friends out.
Maria, who noticed father John was still looking at the direction the girls passed, walked up to father John and sat in Emily's space.
"Father, what is wrong?" Maria asked, looking so worried for Emily. No
"Nothing, she is good news but she might be a bad one if she falls into the pit of those beasts" Father John said and Maria was confused as to what he was saying.
She smiled and left to have a rethink about what the man said.

Tom was in the office marking clues on the board when Dave rushed into the office. "We have a situation!"
He was yelling while panting as well. "Calm down and tell me what happened!" Tom said and walked up to him.
"There was an all girl student panic that happened downtown and it is reported just now that the students were found dead and not just dead.
More like they were attacked. We need to go there right away" Dave said and Tom's heart broke. He couldn't believe it's happening again.
"Let's go!" Tom said and picked up his car keys. Dave had rushed out before Tom walked out.
"Full force to the scene, let's go, move it!" Tom gave a command as he walked out and they all started making moves to leave.
In less than ten minutes, they got to the scene. It was so bloody.
Every one started doing their duties while Tom walked around watching how the ambulance nurses were trying to save the ladies.
Tom saw one of the ambulance van drove off at full speed and he walked to the nurses who was writing the report to ask a few questions.
"Hi, I'm sheriff Tom" he introduced himself and the lady looked up at him.
"Hi, I'm Lisa" she responded and continues her report. "Why did that van leave in a rush?" Tom asked as he could see that the ladies seems tensed.
"There was a survivor but she was badly injured, so we are trying to save her. I hope she survives because those doctors in the van are the best doctors we have in the hospital"
Lisa said nonchalantly and Tom nodded.
"How many of them died?" Tom asked and Lisa sniffed like she was about to cry. "They were fifteen, fourteen of them died and the last one is fighting for her life.
They are my age range, what if it was me?" Lisa said in an emotional outburst.
"Take heart, Lisa, you won't die, we will find the source of the problem and eliminate it totally." Tom said and pats Lisa on her back.
"What do you think about everything?" Tom asked and Lisa sniffed and wiped her face clean.
"If I must say, according to what I have heard in the church stories. They were attacked by the beast of the jungle. You know, it's said that there are humans are against God and so therefore their punishment is to turn into beasts.
They are very violent and love to claim the territories of normal humans. I guess they did the work because the wounds on the dead bodies are extremely deep.
It's most that the cut of a normal animal. It's more like a rage animal is determined not to just kill but to destroy and tear apart and the funny thing is all of them are young beautiful ladies"
Lisa said and Tom chuckled.
"Thanks for the update, Lisa, it is really useful" Tom said and chuckled.
Tom suddenly sighted the two reporters who were capturing the incident and Hank was with them instructing them on where to capture and what not.
"We found a clue!" Hank yelled and Tom looked at their direction.

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
