February, 2000. Weather Island, England.
The outside of the big house looked even creepier in the darkness and mist. The young man ran to the front door. He pounded on it. One, two, three times. The loud bang echoed through his already aching head. The house seemed to be empty as no one opened the door. All of the lights were out. It had seemed that since he was there the last time it hadn't been rented out again. He slammed his fist against the door once more. It slowly opened. The old door gave out a creaking whine. He collected his things and stumbled inside.
There was the ever-present eerienes in the big hallway with the huge staircase leading up to the second floor. He unscrewed the cap off of the gasoline bottle and rushed up the stairs. He had left his good-bye letters for his family in case he wouldn't make it out in time. The young man ran into every room on the upstairs floor, drenching them in gasoline. All except for the ones in the left wing of the house. He couldn't walk in there when he stayed here the first time. He still couldn't. With a shudder he ran back downstairs. When the whole inside of the house was covered in gasoline, he ran back towards the door. It slammed shut in his face before he could reach it. He'd blame it on the wind, if he didn't know better by now. "Fuck it." he said, taking the lighter out of his pocket. Before he could light it, the voices in his head started talking again. At least he thought they were in his head. "Don't do it." they whispered. "Shut up." he mumbled. He turned in circles frantically as the voices seemed to be everywhere now. "You can't destroy us." they whispered again. They too sounded frantic though. "You've taken too much from me. It has to stop now." he said, the sorrowfull memories overclouding his judgment as he lit the lighter. The small flame was blown out before he could drop it. He stared ahead into the darkness. His eyes widened in schock as he stared at something that was invisible to everyone else. He fell to the ground, his eyes still open wide.
A young woman sat at home, watching the news when something she never wanted to hear again reached her ears. The news anchor looked into the camera with a played distraught-face as he read the story. "Last night a young man was found dead inside the infamous Hillview Mansion located on Weather Island. The Police hasn't released a lot of information yet, but have confirmed that the young man is, so far, unidentified. He carried no ID or Drivers License. The house was drenched in Gasoline and an unlit lighter was found next to the man. However, the oddest and creepiest detail of this story has to be the statements Witnesses revealed. Domenic Miller, current owner of the house, claims to have found the teenager with his eyes wide open and jaw almost unhinged from his head. The cause of death is yet to be determined. We'll have more on this for you as the story unfolds-" she shut the TV off. She called her best friend into the room. "What is it?" he asked, looking at her worriedly. She stared at the TV. He knew her mind wasn't with him right now. "It happened again." she said.
February, 2018. Beacon Hills, California.
It'd been about four months since the destruction of the Anuk-Ite, Gerard and Monroe. After all of that things had calmed down severly. No supernatural or human bad guys trying to kill what was left of the pack. Nolan has become a great friend to Marlow and the others. Even Theo had become somewhat of a friend. It all seemed to good to be true for a constantly worried person like Marlow Stilinski. No matter how hard her boyfriend Liam tried to convince her that nothing terrible was happening anytime soon, he himself knew that could change at any point. But he wasn't thinking about any of that while he was watching Marlow at Cheer practice. He leaned into his best friend Mason. "I never knew she was such a great dancer." he said. "Well, so far she hasn't had much of a chance to show it." Mason reminded him. Liam nodded. "True." he said. "How are things in Glee club?" he asked, turning to Mason. "Pretty good. Corey and Nolan are real good singers. I was afraid they'd get shit for joining the Underdog Society, but they're managing. And pulling Mr. Yukimura in as our teacher was the best idea Riley had so far." Mason explained.
Just then Coop's mother Sadie blew her whistle. "Okay, girls and boys that was an amazing practice. I'm really proud of all of you and I can't wait to get back at it after our Winter break, but until then goodbye and have fun. I'll see you in two weeks." she said. The group dispersed and Marlow rushed up to the bleachers. She planted a kiss on Liam's cheeck and squeezed in between the two boys. "So? How am I doing?" she asked. Liam smiled at her. "Amazing. You guys are gonna kill it at our next game." he said, giving her another kiss. Mason made a face. "Guys. I love you and all but please stop." he said. The two laughed, turning back to him. "Don't forget that the Glee club is also having their big break out number at the halftime show of that game." Marlow said, pointing her finger at him. "How could I forget? But who cares about that? We have our two week Winter break now. What are we gonna do?" Mason asked. "I have an idea for that." Marlow said. "Keep talking." Mason demanded. Marlow zipped up her jackett. It was getting cold out. "Well, earlier Sadie told me that her, Coop and Roman wanted to house sit this huge mansion that belongs to her brother. His family is going on vacation themselves, they live on this beautiful Island. Anyways," she said, gesturing wildly. "Sadie and Roman can't go after all, they've got work related business. Coop's still going, but poor him, he'd have to go alone if there wouldn't be some friends coming with him." she explained, smirking at her friends.
"So, you, Liam, Riley and me?" Mason asked. "Nope. Riley, Sophie, Parrish and Jonah are going on a vacation on their own. I was thinking a much bigger circle anyways. Did I mention it's a mansion with a lot of bedrooms?" Marlow asked, raising an eyebrow. "You did. So who are you thinking?" Liam asked. "You, Mason, Corey, Kira, Oz, Nixie, Tilly, Bear, Nolan, Coop and me." Marlow listed those names off like she already knew none of them were busy. "Have they all agreed to come with is yet?" Liam asked for exactly that reason. Marlow nodded. "Yes. None of them are busy. Everyone is up for a week there." she said, shrugging. "And you're dad is okay with you going to a mansion on an Island with Liam and no adults around?" Mason asked. "My dad likes Liam." Marlow replied. "And you are all there too. Oz and Tilly are adults. Well, mostly, but their of legal age and willing to come with us." she added.
"Okay and where exactly is that Island?" Liam asked. "England." Marlow replied. The boys stared at her wide-eyed. "England?" Mason asked. Marlow nodded. "England?" Liam asked again. Marlow knitted her eyebrows together. "You haven't been secretly deaf this whole time, have you?" she asked. Liam chuckled. "No, it's just, England? How do we even get there?" he asked. "Via Plane and a Ferry." Marlow replied, not getting the big deal about it. "That's another country, Marlow. I'm not sure our parents will allow that." Mason said. "Well, Tilly and Bear don't have parents anymore. Oz said yes on Nixie's behalf, Nolan's mom said yes, the Yukimura's agreed - reluctantly, but they did - and Corey didn't bother asking his parents." Marlow explained. "The only ones missing are you guys. And knowing your parents, they'll be okay with it as long as there are adults, which there are." she added.
"Yeah, she's not wrong." Mason said, nodding as he was already dialing his mothers number. Liam thought for a second, before nodding as well. "I have a better idea on the traveling part though." he said. "And that is?" Marlow asked couriously. "Riley. I mean, she can fade us there and pick us back up, can't she? It would save a lot of money. Plane ticketts aren't excatly cheap. Especially not for eleven people on such short notice." Liam explained. Marlow scrunched up her nose. A quirk of hers that Liam knew to be a sign she was convinced. "I'd have to ask her, but I think she wouldn't mind." she said. Liam smirked at her. "What? Do you want a treat now?" Marlow asked rhetorically. Liam held his smirk. "Maybe." he said. Marlow leaned in as Mason held his arm in between them. "Before you start making out. I'm in. Mom said yes." he said. Marlow roled her eyes at him despite the fact that she was happy he could come. He noticed and pulled his arm away. "Sorry. I just miss Corey." he said, sighing as he sat back down. Corey, Riley and Nolan had been non-stop practicing their acts for the Glee club. None of them seemed to notice how much they were neglecting their significant others. "Talk to him. He's coming to England with us. You'll have enough time to smooch with him. He'll get the hint." Marlow said, giving him a reassuring shoulder bumb. He smiled. "Okay, then let's get this show on the road." he said.
