Chereads / The Supernatural’s / Chapter 24 - Loyalty

Chapter 24 - Loyalty

Multiple gunshots are let off as Dylan and Jessica runs throughout the building dodging the bullets 

Dylan: THE EXIT!

They see two steel doors directly ahead of them

But before escaping a tall, muscular and bald bald man stands before the exit 

Dylan and Jessica both run at him and Dylan jumps off the wall landing behind him as Jessica slides between his legs

They open the door as Connor and the others arrive in two cars

Connor swings the door open

Connor: GET IN!

Dylan and Jessica gets in the car and Connor pulls off as shots are fired at them and Michael walks outside with an angry look on his face 

Michael: I'm going to kill them…

At Connors's house a little while later….

Dylan sits on the couch with a coffee mug in his hand and Jessica has a blanket wrapped around her

Dominic, Connor, and Ella stand over them 

Dominic paces back and forth

Dominic: So he wants a key?

He says in confusion

Dylan: Yes and he won't stop until he gets it

Connor: And you have the key so why not give it to him?

Jessica: Because we don't know what it's used for yet…

Ella: Yet? It's been 6 years and you haven't figured out what it's used for?

Dylan: No because I never really had a use for it…

Connor: We need to figure out what that key is used for and fast…

The next morning….

Connor & Dominic walk through the school doors and the hallway is full of students talking and laughing

They walk to their lockers and Connor opens his

Dominic: Don't you feel like they're hiding something?

Connor: No?

Dominic: Well I do and I can tell

Connor: Cut them some slack they've been chained up with wolfbane for a week

Dominic: And let's not forget Dylan an Alpha now

Connor: Yeah that's great right

Connor says 

and then grabs his books and puts his book bag in his locker

Connor: Can we focus on school and let Dylan and the others figure out what the key unlocks?

Dominic nods his head

Connor: Besides tonight is the party to celebrate one game from State 

Cassidy and Summer walks up holding their books 

Cassidy: Guys… They're here

Connor and Dominic looks in confusion and come walking down the hallway is Blake and Tiffany

Tiffany gives Connor and the others a grin while walking past them

Connor: Not today….

Connor and the others walk into class where they see Tiffany & Blake sitting and at the back of the class sits AJ and Aaron

Connor takes a seat and Dominic sits next to him but also right next to Tiffany

Dominic: Do you have to try to kill my best friend 

Tiffany: I'm going to kill him

She says with a straight face

Dominic: Ok…. Nice talk

Mr Dufferson walks in

Mr Dufferson: Good morning class

Mr Dufferson: Turn your books to page-

At Night….

Connor, Dominic, Cassidy, Dylan & Jessica all stand outside of the party 

Connor: You sure whatever that key opens is here?

Dylan: This is where Michael used to live so it gotta be

Cassidy: Well let's party…

They enter the party where the music is loud and bright different colored lights flash around the house 

People are drinking, talking, and dancing

Cassidy: Imma go find Summer!

She yells

They nod their head as Caleb walks up with Lapis

Caleb: Welcome to my house

Jessica: This is your house?

Caleb: Yeah why?

Jessica: Because-

Connor: Because nothing!

He yells 

Dylan: We're gonna go grab some drinks

And Dylan and Jessica walks off

Tiffany sees them walk off and her and Blake follow them

Summer walk up

Summer: Hey!

Connor: Hey Summer

Dominic: Imma go find a drink

Dominic walks off leaving the two

Connor: So-

Summer: I can't hear you! 

Summer: Let's go somewhere else!

She yells

Connor nods his head and they walk to a room

Dylan and Jessica enters a huge room and start to search the room

As Dylan looks in the draws he starts to lose confidence in finding something to help them

The door opens and Tiffany stands there with her glowing yellow eyes and so does Blake

Jessica looks down and her eyes turn blue

Dylan: I am working on being a better person so Imma give you one chance to walk away

Tiffany and Blake walks into the room closing the door behind them

Dylan: At least Connor can't say I didn't try

Dylan's eyes turn red and he gains a beard and his fangs look a little longer and so does his claws

Tiffany's body gains a sense of fear and so does Blake

Dylan: Hey Jessica do you smell that?

Jessica: Yeah its uhh- oh yeah fear

Blake: I'm not scared of you!

Blake runs and tries to swing on Dylan but Dylan dodges his Punch before kneeing him in the stomach then grabbing him by his shirt and slamming him onto the ground

Blake moans in pain holding his stomach as his eyes revert back to normal

Dylan looks at Tiffany next

She shakes and trembles before running out the room

Connor holds Summer's hand as they enter a room and she closes the door behind them

Connor: So what did you want to talk about 

As the loud noises get quieter…

Summer: So- you know we haven't talked much since the you know-

Connor: The what?

Summer: You know- when me and you kissed….

She says with a slight smile

Connor: Yeah but wasn't that just to help me control my transformation?

Her smile drops

Summer: Yea- Yeah of course it- that was the only reason why…

Summer: I just wanted to know if things are good between us?

Connor: Yeah we're friends right?

Summer sadly nods her head

Connor smiles

Connor as he hears Dylan roaring

Connor: I gotta go!

He says sprinting out of the room

Dylan heads downstairs with Jessica and Sees Dominic

Dominic: Anything?

Dylan: No nothing…

Dylan: We're gonna go text us if you see anything…

Dominic nods as they both leave out the front door

Dylan and Jessica get into the car and Jessica looks at Dylan

Jessica: So we lied to them…

Jessica: Why did we lie again?

Dylan pulls a small box out of his pocket with a lock on it 

Dylan: Because this isn't any of their business…

Connor taps Dominic shoulder

Connor: Have you seen Dylan?

Dominic: Him and Jessica just left

Connor: Let's find Cassidy and leave

They search for Cassidy as the music gets louder

They see Cassidy in the kitchen where it looks like she arguing with Aaron

They approach the two who's arguing

Cassidy: I DON'T WANT TO TALK  ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW AARON

Aaron: JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY YOU TOOK FROM ME AND I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE

Connor: What's going on?

Cassidy: He won't leave me alone about money that he spent on me when we were together

Aaron: Stay out of this Bell before I-

Connor steps up and In front of Aaron

Connor: Before you what…

He says smiling 

Aaron: Before I break you…

Connor: You want a shot at it?

Connor tosses his cup and puts his fist up

Connor: Come on!

Aaron grins

Dominic sees AJ in the distance watching

Dominic: Connor come on it's not worth it

Connor: NO DOM… Let him come at me

Dominic: Connor-

Aaron tackles Connor and they tussle on the ground as the party stops and everyone runs to the fight

Crowd: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Connor flips Aaron off him 

Connor then punches Aaron in the face spilling his blood from his nose on his shirt

Connor then punches Aaron again and again as Dominic tries to pull him off

Connor launches Dominic back as his eyes glowed yellow

Connor punches Aaron again before AJ finally pulls Connor off of Aaron

AJ: STOP

Aaron laid on the ground with a bruised eyes and a bloody nose and lip

AJ: YOU ALL NEED TO LEAVE

Connor fixes his shirt in anger

Connor: We were just leaving…

Connor then walks past Summer and leaves the party

The next morning at school….

Connor sits in Coach Johnson's office with Aaron

Coach Johnson walks in with a clipboard

Coach Johnson: WASTING MY TIME

He says loudly and upset

Coach Johnson: So we have had recent decisions and Connor has been QB1 and somehow we've been winning

Coach Johnson: Thank God for that…

Coach Johnson: But for the remainder of the playoffs after Connor decided to become Muhammad Ali

Coach Johnson: The Principal has told me to bench you for the remainder of the playoffs including State

Connor: WHAT!

Aaron smiles

Connor: HOW DID SHE EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

Aaron: It's a high school loser… Everyone seen that fight

Connor: This is stupid…

Connor infuriated gets up and slams the door behind him as AJ comes from the shadows smiling

Connor doesn't notice him and storms out of the locker room

Aaron comes out the office

AJ: I told you the plan would work

He says grinning

Later in the lunchroom….

Connor sits at the table with Dominic

Dominic: What!?

Cassidy walks up and takes a seat next to them

Cassidy: Is it true?

Connor: You know?

Cassidy: The entire cheerleading team hasn't stopped talking about you being benched for Saturday's game and State

Dominic: It doesn't make sense- especially when it didn't happen on school property 

Connor: Apparently it was either take the bench or Aaron's parents were gonna sue me and file for a restraining order 

Dominic: It's dumb- 

They see Summer and she stops and looks over at their table but then walks over and sits by herself 

Dominic: What's going on between you two?

Connor: Don't ask me- I don't know

The bell rings and they get up and start to leave the cafeteria

Connor: Imma meet you both in class I gotta grab something from the locker room

The nod and walk off as Connor walks to the locker room the air becomes tense as he opens the locker room door

He slowly walks in and hears a heartbeat

He stops and slowly takes steps 

He turns the corner and sees a man in the shadow

Shadow Figure: Many will die soon….

Connor: Who are you?

Shadow Figure: Save them…

The shadow figure disappears….

Connor looks in fear and confusion

Later….

Connor is in his room with Dominic

Connor is sitting on his bed and Dominic is spinning in Connor's chair

Dominic: Are you sure it was real and you weren't imagining it?

Connor: Yeah I'm sure… if it was it felt so real…

Connor: I don't know

Dominic: I wouldn't say it is impossible we do live in Craydon Falls after all

Connor: Do you think it has something to do with our game on Saturday 

Dominic: Yeah we have to cancel it

Connor jumps up in realization 

Connor: No- ITS STATE WE HAVE TO STOP STATE

At Dylan's house….

Dylan and Jessica sits on there couch and pulls the key out and both of them sit with curiosity and fear

Dylan puts the key into the lock and it unlocks it

He looks at Jessica and she looks at him

He snatches the lock off and opens it to see a gold box inside of the box

Dylan: Another box?

He then opens that one and sees something that leaves Jessica and Dylan in confusion 

It's a key as in a car-looking key and the key is blue with the initials D.J.

He looks up in shock

Dylan: I know where this key goes to…

To be continued….
