A normal life Fire
Shane let out a long sigh as soon as the meeting with the teachers was over. "God this things are a lot more tiring than I recalled them to be, thank fuck it's over" he looked around, searching for his 'Sisters'. He soon found them on the in the park in front of the school, enjoying themselves "Look at those little fucks, having fun while I do all the work" he shook his head, but there was no malice in his voice. "Come on you two, time to head home!" he called, waving his hand as he walked closer. "Fire" Shane turned around sharply, heart speeding up, eyes searching for the source of the voice he just heard. But found none surprisingly. He carefully scanned his surroundings, but there was no one close enough to speak to him. Then where did that voice come from? He was sure to have heard someone speak. 'Maybe I just imagined it?' he shrugged, dismissing the matter. "Ready to go?" she hummed with a slight smile, happy that he could finally go home and sleep. Although the two girl

Shane's parents were not happy to receive a call that informed them about what happened at Angela's school. Even less so when they learned that Shane went on the Parent's children encounter on their steed. "What in the world were you thinking?! You could have gotten yourself killed!" his mother scolded as they all sat in the living room. Well, all of them minus Angela, who has been grounded in her room for the time being. 'That's so unfair, she didn't do anything, all of this was my idea, not hers' he thought as he stared at the carpet in front of him, preferring that to his parent's angry gaze. Not that he was scared of them of course, but he was 99% sure that if they were to meet eyes he would end up beating the shit out of them out of anger. As their rambling went on, Shane's mind wondered elsewhere, asking questions that only now that everything was over, started forming in his mind. 'Now that I think about it, how did that fire even start? And how did it become so big in such

Shane got startled awake by the ringtone of his phone. He groaned, recognizing it as not the one he had set as an alarm. He begrudgingly reached out and answered without looking who it was. 'There's only one fucker who would call me this early in the morning' "Hey Shane! Guess what?" 'Point made' "Alex is-" he gave his watch a glance "4:50 in the morning, what do you want?" after what happened yesterday he was not in the mood for anymore bullshit, especially his bullshit. "I found you a job!" he said excitedly "That's great see ya bye" and he hung up, falling back asleep. Although he didn't manage to catch many Z's, since his phone started ringing again a minute or two later. He angrily answered it "Alex I will punt you into the sun if you call me again, let me sleep" "But I-" "I. Don't. Care. For all I care you could have found the proof that aliens are real and I still would hung up on you. Let. Me. Sleep" he growled, making Alex sigh "Ok fine, I'll call you back later the-
A normal life Never trust an idiot to look for a job
While Shane and Bianca were messing around in detention, Shane's phone began to ring again. Bianca didn't mind at first, but when she noticed he was ignoring it too, she voiced her annoyance. "Your phone" she still kept her eyes on the random doodles she was sketching on her notebook "Yeah I know, I'm ignoring it" "Reason?" "It might be my parents" "And?" "If it's really then I might end up throwing the phone out of the window when I hear their voices" he seethed "Fair enough" she reached out to grab it, giving a quick glance at the caller "It's not your parents" "Who is it then?" "Dunno, you saved them as 'Crazy-ass conspirator' with an alien emoji next to it" Shane groaned "That's Alex then" "Isn't he the friend you kept mentioning when we first met? I think your sister said he's your only friend" she teased, making him flinch "That's not... ok fine he's actually my only friend, but still!" he snatched the phone back, scoffing as he answered. "What?" he asked annoyed "Well
A normal life Just a dream
"Shane?" Angela called, tugging his sleeve as they walked to school "Yes?" "Are you ok?" he raised an eyebrow "I am... why are you asking?" "You seemed a bit... out if it today" "What do you mean?" "Well, first of, you put salt instead of sugar in dad's coffee this morning" Shane will never tell her that it wasn't an accident... because he 100% did that intentionally. A little personal revenge for what him and his mom said the other day if you wanted to say. "Second, you forgot to grab your backpack" He flinched, reflexively reaching out for it and noticing that he did in fact, forgot to bring his backpack "Oh fu-" Angela poked him, making him notice that she had it in her hands, having grabbed it for him. She handed it out with a sarcastic look "And third, you have to be beyond blind to not notice I had your stuff all along" Shane felt really embarrassed as he took his own backpack from his little sister, awkwardly swinging it on his back. It's not like it was heavy for her a
A normal life Just a dream... or is it?
Although thanks to their late night talk, Shane was able to settle the argument he had had with Bianca, that didn't change that he basically didn't get any sleep at all, since they both had to rush back home and get ready to school. "How you are up now is beyond me" he grumbled as he nuzzled his head in the make-shift pillow that he was trying to make with his arms, not listening to a word the teacher was saying, like always. Bianca, on the other hand was wide awake and calmly sketching something on her notebook "I am used to not sleep much, so it doesn't affect me too a lot anyway" Shane smirked at the yawn that occasionally escaped her mouth, proving that she was just try to act tough. "Want to ditch school and go back to bed?" "I wish! My dad put up cameras around the house, he'll notice if I come back early" she mumbled obviously annoyed. "You are the old one here" he hummed, getting interrupted by a yawn, which was soon followed by a punch "Ouch!" "Mind saying that again l
A normal life Second chances
Walking back home, Shane's mind was filled with an endless flow of question. What was that weird dream about? Why did it feel so real? What was that strange black fog? What about that monster that chased him and... who is Sebastian? "Sebastian..." he mumbled, his attention focused on following the cracks on the sidewalk, their wriggly and uneven course helping him keep his mind busy, even though it was just a little bit. He felt like he knew that kid but... for some reason he couldn't remember... why couldn't he remember? "Maybe I was too young? But no matter how young I was I reckon I would remember a beast like that, it was traumatizing just to watch it!" What happened to that kid? What happened to him? Where were they? He couldn't recognize the surroundings in his dreams at all, why couldn't he? Even though Shane sucked at learning school stuff, he had a flawless memory when it came to direction and memorizing places. That's why he almost never got lost, it was enough for him
A normal life Panic attack
"Dude, you look like you've seen an alien, what happened?" Alex asked as he watched Shane stir his coffee for the past four minutes or so. He hadn't even added anything in it yet. "I just... have a lot on my mind at the moment" "About the aliens? Did they brainwash you?" Shane gave him a sarcastic look, letting out a sigh "I don't know who or what to believe anymore Alex. Mom and dad said they wanted to get rid of Angela in the past, but now dad comes up saying that he was faking it all along to protect us and didn't fight back because he's a coward. Then I start having these weird nightmares and Bianca thinks is my subconscious trying to warm me about something but I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT-" Alex shoved a muffin in his friend's mouth in an attempt to make him shut up "Eat, you're not yourself when you're hungry" he half meant that and half wanted to make fun of him. Shane shot him a glare in response, taking a bite and starting to munch on it, stopping as soon as he registered the t

Howl to the moon
"AAAAND OUT! FUCKING FINALLY" Alex wheezed, carelessly dropping the knocked out Sebastian on the fresh snow right outside of the cabin while he gently set down Angela. He placed his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Fuck! I hate exercise! I'm never doing anything athletic after this in my life!" he complained. "Alex" Bianca called, leaning heavily against a nearby tree, she tried to walk towards him but the second she let go of her sustain, she fell "W-where... where is Shane?" "Still inside, Imma get him right now, don't worry, just sit tight I'll be right back" but just as he tried to get back inside from the door he came out of, he found it locked "What the fuck?!" he tried to pull harder, but to no avail "Fuck it, I'll just use the ladder" he sprinted inside the cabin, trying the trapdoor, but finding that locked as well. "What the fuck is going on!? Why are they locked!?" he ran back outside, trying the door again. "W... what's happening?" Angela asked, terrif

The stronger one will always prevail
"S-shane... is... is that really you?" she hesitantly reached out, brushing his blue fur, Oneiros remaining still "B-but how? How did y-" "Enough messing around! I'm your opponent beast!" the hunter took advantage of this moment to change magazine, basically putting to waste all Oneiros's hard work. The wolf turned his body around, pushing Bianca with his head, forcing her to stand up. "What are you doing?" he whined, looking up. She followed his gaze and saw the trapdoor at the end of the ladder, which had been left open, luckily for them. "You... want me to escape?" he nodded, flinching as another bullet hit in in the back "No! I won't I-" she started coughing "-won't leave you alone" Oneiros was starting to feel desperate, he knew he couldn't fight at his fullest if he had to worry about protecting Bianca, and if he couldn't fight, he couldn't win. 'What do I do now? How can I make her leave?' his eyes looked left and right, finding no solution. Surprisingly, a solution instea

The hunter and the wolf
Bianca couldn't remember what happened clearly. All she knew was that she had a knife pressed against her neck just a second ago, the superficial cut and blood dripping out of it was proof. When she started to feel the knife cut her skin, a loud howl echoed throughout the room, followed by the sound of glass shattering. She reflexively closed her eyes, covering her head as she got pushed and pulled around for several seconds before it all came to a stop. When she sheepishly opened one of her eyes to see what happened, much to her surprise, there was a large blue wolf protecting her from the two kidnappers. "W... wha..." she shakily sat up and looked around, her fever making her vision blurry and slightly dizzy, not really helping in the situation she was in "Am I hallucinating? Or did I die?" she mumbled to herself, pinching her arm to confirm that, at the very least, she wasn't dreaming. "Well, whether I died or not... this is definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen... by far

Who am I? Who are you?
"I... he... what are you talking about? How can I be that-! That thing! You're just delusional, that's what you are! You've edited this over a kid's death recording and now you're accusing me of it?! Are you insane or what!?" that's what he put into words, but in his head he was thinking something completely different.'What was that? Why does this scene look so familiar? And why did I feel guilt when I watched it? Could... could it be that... no, no there's no way that this thing was even remotely real, I mean, blue wolves? What are they gonna tell me next? That the earth is cubical?'The lumberjack was just staring at him with a curious look in his eyes, casually playing with the knife in his hand as he listened to Shane's pointless rant."See Lucas? He's a liar, he won't admit to it even when the truth is shoved right to his face, let's just kill him now and put an end to this" Sebastian growled angrily."In due time boy, first let's make him show his true colors now, shall we?" he

It's a fake, it has to be
Shane couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't mutter a single word or move a single muscle as that matter. All he could do was stare, mouth agape, at the large screens on the walls as he watched a large blue-furred wolf murder a kid. But that's not what had unsettled him the most. What unsettled him was that the kid looked a lot like his younger self, not only that, his voice was also identical. "W-wha... what is this?! This has to be a fake! Why are you showing me a footage that's clearly been edited!?" he shouted as Sebastian kept an impassible expression, almost like he was expecting a different reaction from him. "Oh really? Edited?" he chuckled "I wouldn't expect you out of all people to pull out such a flimsy excuse" he started pacing around Shane's glass cage "Or is it that perhaps you have no honor? Maybe you don't even regret doing it, do you?" he grinned "You never had the face of someone who regretted murder to be fair" Shane at this point was completely lost, he didn't

Regret
'What do I do now?! This is such a mess! Mother is gone and Father will be here in less then a week! Ugh why didn't I keep track of time!?' Oneiros was stressing out, pacing restlessly in front of his lair after the argument of the night before. 'Should I run away? But where to? It was always mother who pointed me towards a new location to live in, I can't leave without her! I'm the one who sent her away... but how the fuck do I get her back now?!' he stopped in his tracks 'The cubs... if I don't leave, I would be putting them in danger... but if I do leave... they might search for me and get lost... and if by some miracle they do end up finding me..." he shook his head, not wanting the thought to even cross his mind. 'I-i need to call mother back... but how... maybe howling again will work?' he looked up at the dark sky, only the stars being visible in the night as he let out a loud howl, using all the air in his lungs. But unfortunately for him, nothing happened. He tried several

The cabin
"You sure this is the right direction? We've been *cough* walking aimlessly for an hour now" Bianca asked as she and Alex followed Shane into the woods, his uncertain and hesitant steps not really making the whole ordeal reassuring. "I'm sure! When I was hypnotized I saw a few signs with the name of this town, so the cabin must be somewhere around these woods" "First of, these woods are ginormous, it could take us literal days to find that place without a map. Second, didn't you say you only moved here recently? I know you lived close by for three years or so, since we often playe

"ALEX!! ALEX OPEN UP!!" Shane shouted as he banged his fists against his friend's house, soon receiving an answer as the door opened "BRO! THE FUCK!?" Alex shouted back, popping his head out the nearby window "QUIT IT! PEOPLE WILL THINK I HAVE AN ASYLUM ESCAPEE AS A FRIEND! GET YO ASS INSIDE!" Shade didn't need to be told twice and quickly got in, not waiting for his friend to ask what was going on and immediately cutting to the chase. "Alex, Angela has been kidnapped!" Alex whipped his head around "SHE HAS WHAT?!" "I need your help to get her back-"

Kidnapper
"Ok class, today we are going to talk about the moon and all it's peculiarities, be ready to take notes because this will be on your final exam" a round of groan rose from the back row "Yeah yeah quit your whining and take out your books" the teacher turned around and started to draw on the blackboard "Now, If we'd to talk about the moon, I could go on for literal weeks, but for your sanity's sake, I'll just speak about a few peculiar events that happened over the years. For example, three years ago, the moon happened to go dark for an unsettling long period of time, longer than what it was supposed to do normally. The scientist thing this ma-" Shane wasn't listening to a word, he was too focused on reading and re-reading the email he received earlier that morning, still in shock.
