Capítulo 6: Dread
(3rd POV)
(The main road into Beacon Hills)
Inside a black car are two teenage girls with identical strawberry-blonde hair, and facial features. As they speed down the road, going thirty over the speed limit, the passenger yells.
"MARISA DAVENPORT, SLOW DOWN... I DON'T WANT TO DIE TODAY."
Marisa looks at her identical sister saying.
"It's fine Jessica, I have everything under control... Don't you trust my driving ability?"
Jessica just huffs before looking out of the window, watching the sun slowly set. While subconsciously making sure her seat belt is still securely buckled and muttering.
"Just get us to Aunt Natalie's house without killing us."
Just then the radio acts oddly, skipping stations, and cutting out. before going right back to normal a moment later.

(Thomas POV)
By the time Satomi, Tonya, Monica, and I were done discussing our plans for the future. The sun was already beginning to set. I walk outside to the front porch, enjoying the simplicity of the sunset before I begin to think about what was decided.
Both Monica and I will live with Satomi's Pack until we recover enough to begin searching for my siblings and her mother. Meaning that we will have to stay in Beacon Hills for the time being. While continuing our schooling, either home school, or going back to public schools. After what we went through, I can't see myself going to class and being with people who I used to consider my peers.
Aside from that, we will both be seeing Tonya, along with Alan, hopefully, so we can figure out what is going on with me. And how to help Monica with her fear. While Satomi begins tracking down anything she can on my siblings or Monica's Mother.
"Are you ready to go to the hospital Thomas? When we are done we should be able to catch Alan at his Clinic."
Satomi's voice says from behind me, glancing back I see her and Monica, along with another guy. Which I assume is a Werewolf, I just nod as I wait for both to pass me. I walk with Monica to the car and ask Satomi.
"Do you think Alan will know how to help us? I mean Tonya is a Druid too. why can't she help us by herself?"
Satomi smiles before saying, as we enter the car.
"I trust Tonya more than I trust almost anyone else. I know she can help you. But having another druid to help would be appreciated. Along with the fact he was your mother's Emissary. And both your mother and sister went through a similar process as what you are experiencing. So he should know a way to help you. Also.... aside from Marin herself, Alan has more experience with the subconscious mind than the other druids I know of do."
With that, we left for the hospital. Monica rests her head on my shoulder, holding my hand as I look at the trees that blur past us.

After arriving at the hospital, we enter the building and see the front desk. I go up to it before asking a nurse with curly black hair in a bun.
"Excuse me, I'm here to see my uncle."
She looks at me with an eyebrow raised as she says.
"I can direct you to what room he is in... I just need his last name?"
Instinctively my hand goes to the back of my head as I say.
"Sorry, I should have started with that. The last name is Hale."
Her look becomes a saddened one as she turns to the computer and says.
"I'm sorry for your loss, the fire a month ago was a tragedy... Your uncle is in the intensive care unit... Here is his room number. Again I'm sorry for your loss."
She handed me a piece of paper with the room number on it. I nod and begin to head that way, seeing something quickly step around the corner. as the nurse says.
"I also need your name for the visitor's log."
I turn to her and say.
"My name is Thomas Hale... What's your name?"
As she wrote down my name on the sheet, I noticed a wedding ring on her finger, and she said.
"Melissa, Melissa Mccall."
I smile and say.
"nice to meet you, Mrs. Mccall."
Her smile turned forced the tiniest bit. Before nodding while waving me away saying.
"You too... Hurry up... visiting hours are almost over."
When I round the corner Monica caught up to me asking.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Instead of answering I interlock our hands and bring her with me... The further into the hospital we get. I begin having a gut feeling, but I can't pinpoint what it's about. Just then the lights flicker for a few seconds.

(The Davenport Sisters)
The radio begins to cut out again, getting Marisa to look away from the road and start hitting the radio. Jessica, hearing what her sister is doing, looks forward just in time to see three people standing in the middle of the road.
"MARISA LOOK OUT!!!"
Yells Jessica, while curling into herself. Marisa looks back at the road seeing the same three people as her sister. Swerves around them while slamming on her breaks. Only to lose control of their car, smashing the front end into a tree. Knocking out both sisters. Moments later the three people came walking up to the crashed car. All three are wearing helmets and armor, which had a very steampunk style; of bronze or brass helmets, which was rusted. They all had wool peacoats, over brocade vests, and silk shirts, with utilitarian slacks. Their color scheme was predominantly dark colors such as black, forest green, and navy blue.
The only differences between the three are. The smallest one in between the other two is wearing a gold and pink brocade vest with a light pink silk shirt under his jacket. The biggest of the three, to the right, had most of his clothing colored black. With very few straps and buckles that were bronze. Lastly, the only female standing to the left, is wearing a black skirt with fishnet stockings and platform boots. They are all also wearing a pair of robotic gloves and gauntlets over their hands.
"Time... To... Commence... Procedure..."
The one in the middle said as the biggest one walked towards the car to grab the twin girls.

(Thomas POV)
Walking through the doors to the Intensive care unit, Monica and I keep walking before we pass a window and see, lying motionless on a bed, is my uncle Peter, with almost his whole body wrapped in gauze and bandages.
Seeing the man who taught me so much, forced into a comatose state, was harder than I thought it would be. I feel Monica wipe away a single tear that fell from my eye as she says.
"I'll stay out here and keep watch... You go say what you need to say."
I nod looking around to make sure none of the hospital staff is around. I then enter his room and see that the only part of his body not covered in bandages is the upper left side of his face. My hands unconsciously ball into fists as I stop on the left side of him. Watching him in silence for a long moment before I say.
"This shouldn't have happened to us... To you, mom, or the pack... I know of five of the hunters, their faces, their names, They are burnt into my mind... I don't know what I'm doing... I want them dead. I just don't know if I can become the monster my Mother always warned us of... Should I throw away all of her teachings, so I can avenge our pack?"
By the end of my speech, my whole body is shaking. Minutes later I steady my breathing unclenching my hands, and bring my right hand to his exposed cheek on the left side of his face while whispering.
"I wish you could answer me... Goodbye Uncle Peter."
Before stepping away from him and exiting the room. Meeting with Monica who is staring down the hall with an eyebrow raised. I tap her shoulder saying.
"See anything interesting while I was gone?"
Monica not taking her eyes off whatever she is looking at says.
"I just thought I saw something peeking around the corner."
I nod before grabbing her hand and walking back the way we came while whispering to her.
"Keep your senses open and focused on what is behind us while we head back to Satomi."
She nods as we quickly make our way to Satomi as fast as we can without being noticed. When we near the front doors I ask.
"Did you catch anything following us?"
Breaking Monica's focus, and her face had a confused expression before she said
"I don't know... Maybe but there was too much noise happening in the hospital that I heard to be sure."
I nod before we open the front doors and exit the hospital we see Satomi and her Beta standing in front of the car as she says.
"Did seeing him help you, Thomas?"
I look at her for a moment before looking at the moon and say.
"I don't know..."
I then open the door to the back seat and get in, moving to the other side for Monica to get in. Followed by Satomi in the front passenger seat and the Beta driving us to Alan's clinic. As we exit the parking lot of the hospital, I catch a glimpse of a man hurriedly exiting the front doors, looking directly at our car. Before we are too far away to see him anymore.

(Operating Theater)
Jessica and Marisa are both strapped to operating tables in the center of the room, with the two masked men standing over the body of Marisa, while the masked woman is standing over Jessica.
Jessica groans while shaking her head. When she opens her eyes, she sees a child in the corner of the room with his head tilted watching her with interest and slight jealousy. Looking away from the boy she looks around, coming face to face with the masked woman and gasping before she asks.
"Wh- What happened? Where am I? Wh- Who are you?"
Instead of getting an answer, she hears a saw cutting through something, looking to her other side she sees the two masked men cutting into the chest of her sister's body. Jessica, horrified by what she is seeing screams a piercing, wailing cry
"MARISA!!!"
before being injected with something by the masked woman Knocking Jessica out again.
