“Stop it!!! I can't hear you!!! LALALALALALA!!!” Anre covered his ears and got away from Yun, he took notes of the interaction so as to not forget it, “Your friends are funny, tell me all about them while we walk PArker” Dinna picked her lantern and started to guide us through the mist; we walked for a few minutes Dinna mostly asked about us and how did we know Parker, about our travels and about us “oh no way you are a priest!” Dinna said with big starts in her eyes, “How did you choose to follow that?” Parker got all shy and coy. I guess I never really thought of him as the type to want to be with someone. “Well… it wasn’t like a calling or anything. I wanted to be able to enter grand libraries, you know how I can be with books… right?” Dinna nodded, “Yeah, you were the one who made me love books, and if you are still into them, I think you are going to love my house!” she said and picked up her pace.

  “Here it is, my humble abode.” Dinna opened the heavy gates to her fence. Behind it, a tall construction of a manor, her garden was completely adorned with red and black roses forming a straight line to the entrance of her home. “Wow, this place is awesome, Dinna do you live by yourself?” I asked her while taking a picture of a rose bush “Yeah… it been just me for a while, sometimes is lonely to live in this house, but not today, please come in” She unlocked her front door and let us into her house, its fancier in the inside adorned with paintings and flower vases, a scarlet red carpet adorned the flooring, the wallpaper depicted animals in the woods a few creeping shadows stalking them “I′ll show you to your rooms so you may rest for a little, the living room is right down the hallway, meanwhile I′ll start on the dinner, please feel free to look around, however, please do not go into the basement” Anre picked out from behind Yun “what? Why?” Yun gave him a small tap on his head. “You silly man, because she is a very generous host, that’s reason enough, come on, we should unpack for the day.”

  Once we were all settled in, I went to the guy's room to have a little chat. “Alright, Anre, spill it out. Why are you so jittery and clingier than ever?” I arrived just as Yun questioned his friend “Well… if there was a ghost I don’t think I can do much about them, they are intangible so the one thing I'm good at is useless” Yun crossed his arms and looked at his friend “you wouldn’t be useless, just less effective, some moonlight beasts are intangible and hunters have fought them before” With a grunt and a I still don’t like them Anre agreed to be calmer “hey Yun can I have the newspaper? I want to read the article more now” He nodded and handed it to me, the article went into detail about what happened, apparently a group of teenagers were going to the campsite to record a movie for a school project, and they informed their families about it, and when they didn’t hear from them in a day they call the authorities, that happened 2 days ago, and Alice, Jason, Steve, and Ned haven′t been seen since no tracks of moonlight beast have been found so the authorities are on the lookout for a human culprit.

  “What's on your mind, Lass?” Anre asked me when he noticed my worries. I think I had a good idea of who the culprit might be. “They are around my age, and we know someone who likes to hunt people my age who is in the area.” Parker lowered his book. “You think Morgan is behind this?” Yun took the paper from me to look at the pictures closely “It would fit with his behavior if they were gifted, he could have made them disappear” Anre nodded “And he could be looking into getting a smooch from the Lass, that scoundrel” “Anre that’s not-“ I heard the sound of shattering behind me, I turned quickly to look at Yun, did his M.S.S returned? Are we going to fight the Thunderbird again? But what we saw was slightly more chilling.

  Yun had his hands up, between them a few purple sparks were flickering in and out of existence, his mouth hung open in surprise, the window shattered, and the walls were scorched black near the edges of the frame. “Yun… did you just” Parker swallowed hard, still processing what he saw “shoot a thunderbolt?!?” “I…I…a… I think so…but it was an accident I don’t even…” he stopped with his hands up when he saw we were taking cover “All right Yunnie why don’t you lower your hands slowly” he did as Anre said, lowering his hands as slow as he could, Anre looked in his bag and with no hesitation put Yun's hands into oven mittens “… am I going to regret asking?” Yun arched his eyebrow while Anre laughed, “Karolin asked me to get them, for cooking and to conceal your new guns, apparently.” Yun looked at his new heart-stamped gloves and sighed, “I hate so much this thing has a layer of latex. Does anyone have a good idea of what happened to me?”

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  “Well, you have always been electrif…” Anre started to say, but with one look at Yun raising his leg to hit him in the head, he stopped. “I think I will shut up now.” “What if defeating the Thunderbird upgraded your gift?” Parker proposed, “Considering gifts are tied to emotions, it wouldn’t be too farfetched to think that overcoming something like that would help you grow” Yun lowered his leg and scratched his head through the oven mittens, “It makes sense… and during the fight, my weapons changed a bit too… maybe we could-” The conversation got cut as we all ran to the front door when we heard Dinna screaming at the bottom of the stair for us, well for Parker more than anyone else, her voice sounded beyond scared like if she had seen a horrific apparition right in front of her.

  “M… My… My apologies Ma′am but please I must implore you for your assistance” Parker immediately put himself infornt of Dinna as Morgan was carring a uard form the Maw, his normally spotless white uniform was stained heavily by red splashes, the shoulder of his coat was tear, staining him even more with a mixture of oil and blood coming out of the gash, the guard in his hands was bleeding profiusly form a stabbing wound, another guard was behind him she was also injuered but in comparation she only had a few scratches here and there, I guess there goes the theory of him been the culptry, the second he saw us he bit on his lip until it bleed he tought for a second, whighting his options it was probably just a few seconds but this wait felt like houers to me until the gurguling of blood broke the silence Morgan shook his head “He doesn’t have time for this!” he disregarded Parker and addressed Dinna again “Please!” he started “I understand how this looks but, allow me to try and save him ma′am please!” this is a bad situation for all of us nether side cant act freely, if we move in to take him out Dinna is going to be in danger not to mention she doesn’t know anything about hunter′s bissnes or the Maw, if they force his way in, he cant fight properly it would be easy to take his men as hostages but then Dinna would be even more frightened, it’s a lose lose for us.

  “Right!” Dinna said and moved from behind Parker “This way you can put him in the living room” We can't say no, we can't really do much of anything without risking her safety so the guys reluctantly moved out of his way letting him in, I could hear Parker grinding his teeth as he passed next too Dinna “you the lady over there, come with me I have a first aid kid in the kitchen and water boiling” the other guard nodded and follow Dinna leaving us alone with Morgan to have a one on four chat.

  He didn’t waste his time he raised his hands and kept them up, he didn’t break his eye contact with us, the guys and I were ready to face whatever he had in store he lowered his left hand, slowly reaching for his baton and something else from his belt, he lowered his body from this angle I managed to see his wound was still spotting out blood and yet he didn’t flinch he set his baton on the rug, kneeled down Click, Click and he placed handcuffs on himself, Anre broke the silence “The hell just happened here?” Morgan kept his head lowered. “Isn’t it obvious, dumb-dumb… I′m surrendering” “HUH???” We all said in unison, Morgan nodded, “I could fight you now that Mr. Kalico is in a safe place… however, I can't put his or Marishka′s life in peril, so I′ll surrender for now”. We all looked at him in confusion and mistrust filled the air, “you expect to believe you just like that?” Yun said angrily a few sparkes formed in his hands “I understand the hatred but my programming will always put the lives of people and innocents above all else even my own safety would be second to that” Dinna came back, Anre took the baton from the ground and moved Morgan to another room, she didn’t ask where Morgan was she, she handed the first aid kit to Parker “I… I know this is difficult but I think I remember you were good with first aid? Can you… can you… please?”

  Parker took his glasses off and rubbed the bridge of his nose, annoyed. He took a big breath and sighed, “Sure, hey, you're the lady.” Marishka stepped closer. “I need your help to take his shirt and coat off, and I need his medical information,” she arched her eyebrows. “What do you need to know?” “Allergies, blood type, aversion to medications, recent injuries.” “Bees, O-, that guy has no aversion to anything, really? You need me to tell you that?” Parker and Marishka kept arguing for a moment, Dinna asked Yun for help to bring more things that could be useful, as for me, I walked to the door where Anre took Morgan.
