Chereads / The Supernatural’s / Chapter 28 - Race Against Time

Chapter 28 - Race Against Time

It's quiet and dark and all you can hear is the sound of raindrops dropping inside this cave

Connor wakes up looking around in confusion 

Connor nervously takes a few steps as cautiously as possible 

He looks around and sees crystals that are ruby and lapis spreading across the cave

He stops and sees a room in the cave where tubes and gates are 

He sees different artifacts of supernatural creatures

He sees werewolf claws, vampire teeth, mermaid tails and even something else

He walks up to it seeing a spell book before hearing footsteps 

He turns around immediately to see a faceless women attacking him sending flying back into the gates

He tries to get up but she starts chanting something so quietly that he doesn't even understand 

Then his bones start and twist as he screams in pain

Women: RISE BEAST…. RISE!

She yells 

Connor then jumps up out his sleep on his couch out of breathe

Standing around him is Lapis, Caleb, Dominic, Summer, Dylan & Jessica

Dominic: THANK GOD YOU WOKE UP

Connor: We have to go to Australia now…

He says seriously still breathing heavy

The next morning…

The sun brightly burning through the window and birds chirp from nearby trees

Connor is in his room packing his bags putting stuff like shirts, hoodies, and pants in the bag

Dominic rushes up to his room 

Dominic: I could go if you need me to

Connor: No we will be fine plus Craydon Falls needs you guys

Connor: We will be back as soon as possible 

Dominic: And how long is that?

Connor: I don't know…. Could be a week- two weeks… I'm not sure

Dominic: But why are they going with you- you couldn't take anybody else?

Connor: Lapis mermaid origins and she is originally from Australia and she's the only one who knows this magic

Connor: And Caleb is going because-

Connor: I don't know why Caleb going

He says in confusion 

Dominic: It's probably because he doesn't trust his girlfriend alone on a trip with you

Says while grinning

Connor: What is that supposed to mean-

He says still confused 

Dominic: I mean… come on Connor- Cassidy, Summer, and EVEN Jessica for a bit and all in a span of a few months

Dominic: Let's just say he probably doesn't want Lapis ending up on that list

Connor punches Dominic in the shoulder

Dominic: OW- you know you are still not supposed to use your werewolf strength

Connor laughs

At Lapis house…

Lapis grabs her bag and her spell book before leaving out her room

She sees her dad in the living room and walks up to him

She's wearing a white tank and some jeans

Lapis: Alright I will call you when we get there

Lapis Dad: I'm still not too sure about you going on a class field trip

Lapis: I told you I'm going to be staying with Auntie Margaret and Uncle Sammy

Lapis Dad: A week with them is gonna turn you into a real Australian 

Lapis giggles as a car horns from outside

Lapis: That's my ride!

Lapis: Love you, dad-

She says giving him a kiss on the cheek before running out the door and a black Porsche sits out waiting for her 

She puts her backs in the trunk as she gets in the car

Caleb sits in the driver's seat with shades on

Caleb: You ready to go?

Lapis: Yeah- 

Caleb drive off

Dylan opens his garage

And he has Lycaon chained up to a bar of metal

Lycaon sits there with dried-up blood on his head and dirt everywhere 

Dylan: Rise and shine buddy

Lycaon sits with a grin

Lycaon: How about you come a little bit closer so I can greet you with a hug

Dylan chuckles 

Dylan: Somebody woke up not in a good mood

Dylan: Listen the faster you tell me about Michael the faster you can go on about your life

He says moving around different stuff in the garage

Lycaon: I told you already everything I know

Dylan: And that was nothing…

Lycaon: That's because I know nothing-

Dylan's face frowns up and he begins to become angry

Dylan: So why work with a hunter who hunts your kind?

Lycaon: What can I say- I like money

With a smile

Dylan grabs Lycaon by his jacket

Dylan: The only reason I haven't clawed your neck out is because Im working on not killing people

Dylan: But don't test me… Because I am the alpha….

Dylan drops him and starts to walk away

Lycaon: The Alpha….

He says while laughing

Lycaon: you're NOT THE ALPHA!

Lycaon: I'M THE ALPHA AND ALWAYS WILL BE

He yells

At Connors's house….

Connor brings his bags downstairs and Dominic follows behind him

Ella stands in the kitchen but comes to the living room hearing Connor

Ella: CALL ME EVERYDAY DO YOU UNDERSTAND-

Connor: Yes Mom got it…

He says smiling 

She hugs him and gives him a kiss on his forehead 

Ella: I love you champ…

Connor: Love you too Mom…

Dominic opens the door and Connor heads out to Dominic car

He puts his bags in the trunk and gets in the car 

Dominic: Ready to go?

Connor sits in regret

Connor: I have no choice but to be ready…

Dominic drives off

Dylan locks the house's front door as he heads to the car as Jessica walks up

Jessica: Where are you going?

Dylan: I think I got a lead on Michael

Dylan: You coming?

Jessica: Sure got nothing better to do- but don't forget we have to meet Connor at the airport before he leaves

Dylan: Yeah yeah- I know I won't forget… besides it's gonna be quick

They get in the car as the car starts

Caleb and Lapis arrive at the airport

Lapis gets out of the car and heads toward the trunk

She opens it and grabs her bag

Caleb: You sure having only one bag would be smart-

Lapis: We're here for a week and this is more than enough

Caleb: Yeah- yeah you're probably right

Caleb grabs 3 bags out of the trunk 

Caleb: Maybe I should have left this then…

Lapis laughs and heads into the airport

A valet man approaches and Caleb gives him the keys

Caleb: If you hurt her- I will tear an artery out of your neck

The valet man looks in fear and Caleb also enters the airport 

The airport is busy with many people and Caleb looks for Lapis and sees her walking but she gains a slight distance

He runs and tries to catch up to her

Dylan and Jessica arrive at this house

The house is Blondish and made of brick

Jessica: Where are we?

Dylan: You'll see

Dylan walks up to the front door and starts to knock

The door opens and a black hair man with a beard stands there

Man: How can-

The man's eyes widen  in shock

Dylan grabs him by his shirt lifting him in the air

Dylan: WHERE IS MICHAEL-

Jessica roll her eyes as she stands there with her arm crossed

Man: I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE LIVES YOU- YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!

Dylan's eyes turn red

Dylan: THAT'S THE THING I DON'T- TELL ME WHERE IS HE!

He yells demonically

Jessica: DYLAN THAT'S ENOUGH!

Dylan's eyes turn back to normal and his face looks fearful

As he drops the man

Dylan's face turns back to normal

Man: I can tell you one thing-

Dylan: What is it?

They leave the house and walk to the car door

Jessica: We have to go to the airport…

Dylan: This might be my only chance to catch him

Jessica: Trust me he will be there when we leave the airport 

Dylan: Can't risk that-

Jessica becomes angry and gets back out of the car

Dylan: Where are you going?

Jessica: Going to say goodbye to my friend…

She starts to walk off

Dylan sits thinking about his decision before pulling off

Connor arrives at the airport with Dominic

He gets out of the car and sees Summer and Cassidy standing out talking to Caleb and Lapis

He grabs his bags and walks towards them

Connor: Hey guys-

He says looking at Summer and Cassidy

Connor then looks at Lapis and Caleb

Connor: Ready?

The nod

Connor gets hugged by Cassidy and he hugs her back

Cassidy: Be careful… and come back in one piece

Connor sighs holding her tight

Connor: I will…

Cassidy lets him go fake smirking before walking off

Summer walks up next smiling awkwardly 

Summer: Thank you- for for the-

She gets cut off by Connor kissing her and they stop and she kisses him back

Summer: Come back for me….

Connor: I will I promise-

She gives him a pat kiss again and walks off

Dominic gets excited for him

Dominic: YEAH THAT MY BOY!

He yells in excitement 

Connor: Yeahhhhh- I learned from the best

He smiles as he puts his hand up to dap him up but Dominic hugs him

Dominic: Don't do anything stupid-

Connor: I won't….

He laughs

Dominic let him go patting him on his shoulder before walking off

The girls hug Lapis and Dominic daps up Caleb

Connor walks up to them

Connor: See you guys when we get back…

As they start to enter the airport a taxi pulls right in front and Jessica

Connor turns around smiling

Jessica: Didn't think I was coming, did you?

She says smiling 

Connor smiles

Connor: No

She hugs him

Connor: Where is-

Jessica: Looking for Michael…

She says releasing him

Jessica: I'm sorry-

Connor: Nah its fine

He says uncertaintly

Connor: He would be here if he could…

Lapis yells

Lapis: Connor Come On!

Connor: I gotta go-

Connor smiles walking off 

He then arrives and gets on the plane

He sits next to the window next to a random person as Caleb and Lapis sit in the middle

He stares out the window in worry for Dylan

Dylan walks out of a building angry 

Dylan: Nothing… 

Dylan: This had to be where he was-

Dylan: Unless…

Dylan: This was all just a setup

Dylan: It's like they wanted me here- like it was a…. distraction-

He says eyes widening after realization

He jumps in the car and drives as fast as possible and he gets home 

On the plane…

The pilot speaks on the intercom as the plane begins to move and take off 

Connor still stares out the window

At Dylan's house

 

He runs to the shed to see Lycaon's chains broken and Lycaon gone

Dylan stands in shock then his face turns serious

Dylan: It was a distraction…

To be continued…..
