Unexpected Homecoming
Finally after a year of redeeming myself, I can finally return. I wonder what she has been up to for the past year? Does she even still want me? Well if she doesn't guess that means I'm of the hook with this whole soul mate thing…. Don't be stupid you'll never be of the hook, you may not have wanted it but you got it. And at least she's good looking.
Ash smirks to himself as an image of Mary Lynette finds its way into his mind.
You got me there, guess there are worse people you could have as a soul mate. Although I could do without all the shin kicking, for a human she can do some damage.
Ash drives at a steady speed through the deserted road on his way to Briar Creek.
"Here I come Mare."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ash" an evil smile appears on her pale face and her pure white teeth glisten from the light of the moon. "I've been waiting" Her silver eyes sparkle with excitement and danger, she licks her lips in a predatory fashion then lunges of the rooftop and heads towards Briar Creek.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash reaches the outskirts of Briar Creek and instantly senses the presence of other night worlders.
"Shit" the feeling consumes him, he slows his car to a steady 20mph, his senses highten to try and seek out where the night worlders may be in this small town. "Bloody hell, they're everywhere. What the hell happened here?" his eyes widen with realisation and worry, "Mare, shit, Mare if anything happened to you I'll…" without finishing he puts his foot down and speeds in the direction of Mary Lynettes house.
As he reaches her house he notices it is exactly the same as the rest of the town has come to be, abandoned. He rushes inside hoping his senses where wrong but finds that he was right, the house was empty. The furniture was torn and scattered all over the house, windows broken, blood stains on the floors and ceilings, and not a soul around to explain why.
"Mare, where are you?" he asks allowed getting more and more worried now. Once he is sure the house was empty he rushes back to his car and heads to his sisters.
'Rowan? Rowan! Answer damn it,'
Ashs mind screams out for his sisters to hear him, first Rowan, then Kestrel, then Jade… Jade.
'Jade? Where are you?'
'Ash? Oh god Ash! Hurry where at our house, hurry up!'
Inside his head it goes quiet only his thoughts where there now,
'Jade! Jade?'
But she didn't answer.
Ash reaches his sisters house and rushes inside. The sight in front of him made him feel like a stake had been plunged into his gut.
"Mare?" he says barely above a whisper. In front of him, his sisters lie still with wood stakes pinning them to the floor, barely conscious. Over in the corner Mark was unconscious with blood all over him and teeth marks on his neck and wrist. Standing in the midst of all this blood and pain, was Mary Lynette. With a satisfied smile on her face and blood drying on her lips. She smiles evilly and says,
"Welcome back"
