The time read 4:30pm and Ethan was making his way from the school's entrance. He was in a hurry as he was late to work. He should have been at the restaurant 30 minutes ago but had been delayed by the old Janitor, Mr.Twist who was even crazier than people thought. The man kept talking about Tele-tubies and how they built the pyramids. How Tele-tubies were the first beings to fly in aircraft. He kept going on and on until Ethan had felt like stuffing the mop he was mopping the floor with into the old man's mouth just to shut his incessant rambling. After an hour and a half of cleaning the school, Ethan was unsurprisingly more tired mentally than physically,thanks to Mr.Twist.
Ethan power-walked his way through the streets of mid-mount all the while cursing his luck for such a torturous week ahead of him. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice the person Infront of him until he had barged into them. Ethan raised his head to look at who he just barged into.When he saw the person Infront of him, Ethan couldn't stop himself as he took in a big gulp. Suddenly Ethan was very glad there were people around them at the moment. The man was humongous. As big as a house and had hands the size of spades. He was in a large trenchcoat and had shabby black hair. Evey hair on Ethan's body screamed Danger at the sight of the man. "Oh..sorry, I didn't see you.my bad". Ethan apologized quickly as he didn't want such a person being mad at him. He quickly moved aside and made to run the rest of the way to the restaurant. But just as he made a move, a large hand that covered his whole left shoulder stopped him. The people on the streets looked at the man wearily but none dared approach him or say anything to him. "Tell me. How many people are in this town?", The large stranger asked in a deep bass tone that fit him perfectly. The answer came out from Ethan even before he had processed the question, "about 4700 people I think". The large stranger nodded without saying a word as he lifted his hand from Ethan's shoulder. "You can go", the stranger dismissed Ethan and turned towards the direction Ethan had just come from.
Ethan let out a sigh of relief as the man left him. 'Pheeew, I thought for a second there he was gonna force me to go with him. I don't even know what I would have done if he had' Ethan thought.he checked his watch on his wrist which read 4:53pm and jumped. "Shit! I'm so dead. Jerry's gonna throw one hell of a tantrum", he said as he ran full speed in the direction of the restaurant.
Behind Ethan,the large man in the trench coat was making his way towards the school. Well, the school wasn't his main target. It just happened to be in the same environment. The man's true location was the woods behind the school that stretched farther than the eye could see. That was where he intended to make his home and new pack. "This place looks good enough...there should be plenty of meat here and plenty of people to turn", he thought in delight. It was a shame he couldn't have the boy for dinner. But there were too many people around. The boss had said to be silent and sneaky about the task. He didn't want to anger the boss. Not so soon after he had freed him from that prison. Maybe later tonight. He sped up as he neared the woods. This was his element. His bestial side was ecstatic as he went into the woods. Night would soon fall. And with it he would let out the beast and feed to his heart's content. But now was the time to lay low. He made his way deeper into the woods as he shivered in anticipation. He just couldn't wait for the moon to shine it's bright light on him tonight.
In the town next to mid-mount, a beautiful white haired man was walking the streets leisurely with his arms folded behind his back. He was taking in everything with his keen eyes that missed nothing. From what he had picked on from people's thoughts, this town was called Twin's peak. Named after some twins who founded the place early in the 19th century. The beautiful man chuckled when he caught the name. 'what a stupid name for a town. What happened to all the beautiful names people used to give their towns?, This is all the more reason why we need to burn this place to the ground and then rebuild it in our image', he thought with a smile as he continued his mid-day stroll. The people on the streets were finding it hard to keep their eyes off him. He didn't mind the attention too much. As far as he was concerned, it was just right that they saw their future governor in all his glory. He was growing a little hungry though. His last meal had been over 24 hours ago. Maybe he should look for something to...aahah. he had seen just the thing to pass the rest of this boring afternoon with. Not too far from him was a beautiful brunette exiting a clothes shop with bags in her hands. He made his way towards the woman who's face turned crimson the moment she set eyes on him.
"Hello my fair lady..how art thou?", The pale skinned man asked the lady who burst into giggles the moment she heard what the man said. "How art thou?, What is this, the shakespearean era?", She continued giggling. The beautiful man didn't say anything. Of course, he knew people didn't speak like that anymore. Infact, he could speak like the humans around him after listening to them interact with each other. He didn't mean to speak the way he did earlier,it had just happened and the woman had capitalized on it but he didn't mind. This mortal was going to be his lunch anyway. He waited until the woman was done giggling then looking straight into her eyes and channelled all his power into his eyes and voice, bending her will within seconds. The woman fell silent the moment she looked into the man's eyes. If anyone was paying attention,they would have noticed the man's glowing red eyes as he looked into the woman's eyes that was glowing a faint red as well. "What is your name?", The man asked the now robot-like woman. "Julie", she answered in a flat monotone voice unlike her previous one. "Take me home Julie. I'm starving". The man commanded with a smile.
In many different towns, similar scenes like the one in mid-mount and Twin's peak was playing out. The dark forces had spread out to different towns and cities to do their master's bidding. They had only one mission. To infect and turn as many people as possible with or without their consent thereby creating an army for their master who then intended to wage war against the other protectors of the mortal realm. With the protectors gone,the mortal realm will be theirs and they will do with it as they pleased.
