September 15th,
9:26 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House.Antonio's lips thinned into a straight line and his eyes narrowed with controlled fury as he watched the feed from the multiple security cameras he had put up all around the house and its environs. On each screen, there was nothing but violent chaos as shadow monsters engaged his men in bloody battles. At the moment his guards still held the upper hand slightly but Antonio could see that the tables were already starting to turn in favor of the monsters. Each injury weakened his forces, each pause to reload allowed the shadow beasts to multiply and grow like ravenous destructive cockroaches. Gradually the humans were losing ground as they were forced closer to the house by the nonstop tide of shadow beasts. The monsters fought with a recklessness that bordered on suicidal, a command that had probably given to them by their matte

September 15th, 10:40 PM, Starlight Central Academy, The Hunters/Witches Dorm Building. The atmosphere in the common room was laden with a heavy tension. Despite there being three different supernatural races in the large room at the moment, neither of them had any negative thoughts regarding the other at that point. An unconscious Lisa lay on the biggest couch in the room while Leva sat beside her, a deeply concerned look on her beautiful face as she watched her resting friend. Although there were still many blood stains on her clothes, Lisa's body bore no sign of any wound or injury thanks to the healing applied on her by Olivia soon after Leva had stumbled into the dorm some time ago. A little ways away from them, a dark haired young man leaned against the wall in an aura of near visible darkness that seemed to repel light away from him. Dean's face remained in its perpetual flat state but his eyes bore an

The crash of the teacup pushed the room into a drowning silence. The darkening of Michael's expression was enough to clue everyone in on the fact that whatever Antonio had just said, it was of more importance than they had expected. The alpha closed his eyes and exhaled sharply before muttering a string of inaudible words to himself as he moved to open the laptop on the central table. "Hey, easy with that stuff. Malaysian bone china isn't exactly easy to get, you know?" Lee frowned at the shattered teacup. Diana opened her mouth to say something, probably a polite apology, only for Michael to wave a hand casually and erase every evidence of the accident with a pulse of ashen colored energy. He shot his leader a dirty look that was met with a stern one from the alpha. "Not the time Lee," Michael said as his fingers worked on the computer quickly until he had brought up a message on his email ac
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Six: Plans
"Ryusuke Sakai, Rin Sakai, Koya Omori, Shin Chibana and Tetsuro Kasai," Michael listed out the names with all the sternness of an army drill officer. "Each of these individuals are suspected of having been to sent to assassinate the participants of this Peace Program. As they have proved to be a valid threat to our efforts, I am designating them with an Elimination Target Class 2 status." "What does that mean?" Veronica asked tersely. "What it means, little princess..." Lee taunted in reply. "...is that all of them have been deemed to dangerous to let them run around in one piece. In other words, it's open season for the Hunters as far as they're involved." The dark grin that appeared on his face at the end of his sentence was enough to lower the room's temperature by a few degrees. Both the vampire princess and Mia gave the Asian man weird looks but neither of them spoke. Although each girl's silence was for different reasons.&
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Seven: A Deathly Chill
September 15th, 11:15 PM, Starlight Bay, Location??? A black shadow moved from street to street like a phantom, staying well out of the main avenues and out of the range of the dim streetlights that were spread out unevenly through out the area. The figure slipped in between alleys with ease into an abandoned warehouse near the city docks came into view. The light at the entrance was out, but that did not stop the figure from squeezing through the slight opening between the doors. The interior of the abandoned warehouse was nearly as one would expect such a place to be. There was practically no lighting save for an old flickering bulb hanging from the middle of the ceiling. The illumination was poor but if was easy to make out the piles of empty crates stacked in various corners of the building. There was a staircase on one side of the walls that led up to a gallery of sorts. Although everything in
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Eight: Dean's Origins
1400 AD, England. There was a rumor that had been circulating around the countryside for the past few decades. A tale that was passed around in hidden corners, that was spoken of in hushed tones in taverns and alleys. It was a story that was so full of darkness and malevolence that new wives were forbidden from speaking of it to avoid attracting the evil to their homes. Mothers even used it to scare their unruly children into obedience lest the evil take them away. The tale of a monster who brought death wherever it went. Dean Hanson had been born to a family of four. A caring father who worked hard to provide for his family, a loving mother who never failed to on her duties to her children, and an adorable little sister who absolutely cherished her older brother. For the first seven years of his life, he had, as any child at tat age would, held all of them close to his heart
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Forty Nine: A Cold Hearted Vengeance
She could not move. The feeling was everywhere. That eerie chill that had been suffusing her body all day suddenly seemed to intensify exponentially, causing her muscles and joints to lock up as if in a seizure. Her mind was descending into terror-induced panic. How had they managed to set up such a trap that not even her Eyes of God was able to detect on time?! More confusing even was the fact that the trap had been placed in the exact same place she had chosen out of all the origin sources of the barrier spell to escape through?! No... She could not allow herself to lose it here in front of an enemy of this caliber. The man's power was enough to completely alter the landscape of the environment around them. Where there had once been a lush vegetation surrounding them, now the area had practically turned into wasteland full of dead and decaying flora. Death was one of the oldest
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Fifty: The Second Game
Dean Hanson walked out of the purplish black swirling portal and into the common room in top floor of the Hunters/Witches dorm building. Most of his pack mates were there except Michael who was off with Diana doing who-knows-what. Olivia was in the kitchen working on something in the oven that smelt heavenly. Baking was a favorite pastime of hers, one of the many she had picked up over the years. On the couch at the back wall, Lee was lying upside trying to read one of the large tomes that were on the coffee table. Jade and Lisa were in the middle of the room, both girls seemed to be working on an extremely complex looking magic algorithm that involved several ethereal glyphs that floated in the air around them in a multitude of colors. "I got her," Dean announced in a completely bland tone as he dumped the unconscious red haired girl he had been carrying on one of the other couches. Jade barely glanced in the captive's direction and nodded in acknowledgement. Lisa on the other
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Fifty One: The Hunt Begins
September 16th, 8:40 PM, Starlight Central Academy, SCA Main Football Field. The shrill sound of the referee's whistle cut through the tense air in the arena as the official overseeing the match declared another touchdown for the home team. The crowds erupted in loud cheers of celebration as the players all gathered around the player who had scored, Bryan Harrison. The handsome athlete bumped shoulders in commemoration of his effort in increasing the school team's early lead in the game. As he celebrated with the last player, he pulled the other guy down for a brief private talk. "Hey Bruno, have you seen Lee around tonight?" The other athlete shook his head as he backed away into his position for the next play. "Nah man. But Stevie said he was here earlier but took off sometime before the game started..." "Hmm," Bryan hummed in thought and nodded appreciatively at his teammate. "Alright then..." That was weird. The Asian young man had been very instrumental in t
