The Hunters Volume One: The Beginning Chapter Twenty Nine
The bodies had been found by some students who had gone into the woods with a teacher for an outdoor project. Terrified at the mangled state of the two corpses, they had immediately notified the police who were then invited to remove the bodies. The time of death had been estimated to have been several hours before the bodies were discovered and the cause of death has been assumed to be an attack by a large carnivorous animal. That conclusion had been after further examination of the bodies had revealed several body parts missing in a manner that indicated that they had been consumed. When another body was discovered deep in the forest the next day, in the same condition as the first two, a wave of alarm swept through the school. Once more the police were called in and a warning was issued to all students to avoid solitary movements after dark. A special Animal Control team had been called in to search the forest for the creature responsible for the murders. Since it was fall, it

The silver Mercedes rolled down the slightly busy road, accelerating gradually as it rounded a bend. The driver was a man in his prime, with slightly parted brown hair that seemed almost red in the sunlight. His attire was casual enough not to make him stand out yet gave him an air of seriousness. On the left part of his turtleneck shirt, a beautiful bejeweled silver cross pinned there gleamed in the sunlight brightly. Vincent McAllen mused quietly as he drove his car downtown. The recent spate of violent murders had gotten everyone concerned, some more than others. As an Exorcist as well as the one of the coordinators of this whole thing, it was easy to see how much the deaths had affected him. The fact that innocent people were being killed aside, Vincent had an uncomfortable notion that these murders were only the beginning. He did not like to sound too pessimistic but as far as he was concerned, if there was even a slight chance of something bad happening, he would rather no

"It looks even worse the second time," Rebecca groaned as she tried to hold back the retches that tried to force their way out. "You never answered my question Vincent." "I'm thinking it was neither of those two," he replied as he focused his attention on the corpse. "If you don't think it was an animal or a person, then who did do it?" "That's what I'm here to find out, isn't it?" He bent low over the body and reached behind him. "Hand me the forceps please. The scalpel too." Legally she was not supposed to allow him to touch the corpses since that would be 'tampering with the evidence'. But this was not Rebecca's first time dealing with a disturbing murder case. From the expressions of the police who had brought in the bodies, she knew already that they had very little intention of looking deeper into this. In other words, these bodies had just as much legal importance as roadkill. She did as he asked and he began to work on the body. Using the forceps, he pulled b

After Vincent had left the school for the morgue, Diane had intended to go to the principal's office as per Michael's request. Her last class had kept her busy for more than two hours and the other academic duties related to her work only served to delay her even more. The end result was that by the time she was finally on her way to the administrative building, it was already several hours past noon. An institution as large and complex as Starlight Central Academy would require far more staff to run than av regular college. Thus it was not strange to imagine that an entire building has been set apart solely for administrative personnel. The five storey building was occupied by efficient workers dedicated to ensuring the smooth running of the school. The fact that these people still had to go about their duties with haste was a testament to how complicated the school management was. Diane stepped through the rotating glass doors and was instantly met with a room buzzing with

"Come on Elena! Hurry up!" Whitney called out to the girl behind her. "I'm moving as fast as I can already!" The two girls had been training privately together in the forest behind their dorms daily in an effort to get Elena up to shape after she recovered her magic. Some might think it was risky considering the recent killings but Whitney had never been one to let fear dictate her actions. At the moment she was extremely glad she had not. Their usual training session had barely begun when they saw the bright explosion light up the night sky. Brief and muffled as it had been, it could have easily been mistaken for a random firework but for witches who had spent years under the teachings of the Arcane Circle, it meant something much more. As with every other organized group in the world, the Arcane Council had a set of protocols that were designed for certain conditions. The burst of light in the sky had not been the result of a firework, it had been a flare spell t

Elena could not even react before the beast slapped her away. It walked out of the pillar of fire, parts of its body still burning and its white eyes had rage filled veins in them. It turned Whitney onto her back and opened its jaws to chomp down on her neck. Just before it could do so, it caught sight of the tattoo on her forearm where her sleeve had ridden up. "You're lucky you've been cursed already," the beast growled out as it closed its teeth filled mouth. "Enjoy the days you have left, witch. When your time is up, I will be there to devour your soul. For now though, I will sate my hunger with this." It placed a hand above her face and tiny glittering motes of crimson energy rose up from her face to be absorbed into its hand. The more it absorbed, the paler Whitney became until an extremely powerful blade of wind sliced its hand clean off. The beast roared in pain and turned its head to see Elena glaring murderously at it. An uprooted tree hovered in the air above her.

Michael's closed eyes narrowed as he felt the massive fireball raging in his direction. The attack was powerful in its own right and covered a large range, a good tactic to minimize the chances of an opponent dodging. But to someone like him, such attacks were less than useless. With a single pulse of his power, the fireball dissipated in an instant. On instinct, he leapt back just in time for a blade of wind to carve out a large groove where he had previously stood. The moment he landed, he ducked low to avoid the second blade of wind that threatened to decapitate him and swiveled his head to lock on the position of his opponent. Light footsteps tapped softly on the ground as his attacker circled round him to find a better angle of attack. He smirked slightly when the footsteps stopped as his opponent realized what he had been doing. But it was already too late. With a powerful leap, he jumped in their direction. Midair he adjusted his body slightly to dodge a vertical s

Lee strode down the crowded hallway with his hands tucked in his front pockets. The last of the morning lectures had just ended and students filled the hallways, most of them still exiting their classes. Not that Lee cared for that anyway. Lee was not like the other Hunters. It was true that they had all agreed to participate in this program, but there was a reason he had been so against it in the first place. The Hunters were humanity's protectors. In fact they protected all innocent creatures, human or otherwise, as long as they caused no trouble. With a cause like their own, one would think all five of them would be paragons of good virtues. That might have been true for the others, Lee was not particularly sure what they did in their own time, but not for him. There was a trait that Lee had, one that his teammates were aware of. It was the biggest challenge that had faced them after they had accepted the three factions' proposal, even bigger than Olivia's issues. The pro
