"Then the creature ate the boys up and threw their bones to the wolves." The boy said as he looked at his group of friends. They were a average group a week ago before the death of Mike and the arrest of Olivia who died in jail, the boy thought. They were missing two more friends but it seemed to be alright to them. It was a weekend and the drinks were being passed quickly. The two girls were making out. Well the other took a sip of her drink and laid into her boyfriend.
"Your story is getting lamer and lamer lately." She said as she looked at his boyfriend. "You need a better boyfriend." She said jokingly.
"I had a better one, but he thought he was too good for me." the other boy to the first ones right said. He was looking at his boyfriend with a joking smile.
"I hated him. He was a jerk and who even names their child Luka." the boy said.
"That is nice come from you, Nigel. Your name does not fit you at all." the girl said. "At least Luka was extraordinary like his name." she said.
"I am starving. Can we just go get some burgers or something?" the boy who was dating the girl asked.
"Yeah and we can leave the lovers to do what they do best." Nigel said.
"I think we should at least tell them where we are going." the girl said.
"Hey Kat, Whit, we are going to get burgers." Nigel's boyfriend said.
"We heard you the first time." girl one said as she gave her and her girlfriend space.
"Besides you guys were already planning on leaving." the other girl said. They all looked at each other and nodded. The girl's boyfriend went over to the second girl.
"Don't stay out to late. I do not want to have to call mom and explain to her why my sister got caught naked in the woods." he said.
"Chill out, Al." the second girl said. They left leaving the girls alone.
"Damn maybe we should have kicked them out sooner." the first girl said.
"Kat." the other girl said in a annoyed tone. The other girl's lips landed on hers. There was rustling in the woods and they both separated.
"Very funny guys." Kat said. A woman wobbled out of the woods. The girls looked down and screamed when they saw the claws where her hands should be and the tail where her legs where suppose to be at. The drakaina killed them before slither back into the woods.
Thirty minutes later two boys arrived finding the bodies of the girls in the woods. The two boys looked at each other confused by the sight.
Laken
I arrived to find the room a mess. I looked around for the two of them. I found Jesse on the floor asleep and Ace in the tub asleep. I turned on the water in the tub and grab a pail and filled it in the sink before pouring it over Jesse who jumped up.
"Morning boys." I said as a drenched Ace walked out of the bathroom.
"When did you get here?" Jesse asked.
"Very recently." I said. "So what is the case you are having trouble with?"
"Well it is a long story." they both said.
"Then start talking." I said.
"It started when we got here." Jesse said.
Jesse
"So the file says that Olivia was arrested for killing her boyfriend so we should start by talking to Olivia." Jesse said. We got to the police station and showed our badges. Olivia was a brunette who was really cute. She had a older brother named Zach who she mentioned ran with her group of friends. Apparently her boyfriend, Max was making moves and she thought Zach had her kill her boyfriend on purpose.
"So let me get this straight you brother had you kill your boyfriend because he wanted to get in your pants?" Ace asked.
"Well yea. I saw my brother point out a target and I swore it was just a board with a target, but then after I shoot the arrow I realized it was Max tied up." She said crying. I gave her a tissue and she took it.
"Zach is hang out with Nigel. He is always with Nigel." She said. So we did some dig up on the friends think maybe it was a ghost or something, but there was no death or anything. Next thing we got called by the police to look into some statues. They found the bodies or two boys who hung with the group in statues. This was when we called you. When we got back to the motel I could not find my laptop. I asked Ace, but he still denies he stole it though it was in our room where I had it and no one had broke in.
Laken
"Did you steal his laptop?" I asked.
"Of course not." Ace said. "Now what Jesse forgot to mention was what happen later that day."
Ace
"Have you seen my wallet?" I asked. Jesse was reading through books after his laptop went missing.
"Nope." He said.
"If you stole it because you think I stole your laptop then go to hell. I did not steal your damn laptop." I said as I looked around. "We should probably check out the woods where these friends hang out for hex bags. It might be a witch."
Laken
"Did you steal his wallet?" I asked interrupting Ace.
"Of course not." Jesse said.
"Ace continue." I said Ace looked at me confused knowing I knew something they did not.
Ace
"Well if I had my laptop we could know if it was a witch." Jesse said. "Let's go."
"Yeah, I'll just look for my wallet when we get back." I said. We got to the woods and that is when we found two girls torn up and not alive. There was not hex bags and we identified as the girls who hang with Nigel and Zach.
Laken
"You got here this morning so that is all." Ace said. Jesse nodded.
"Well I know what you two are dealing with." I said.
"What?" they asked.
"You are dealing with a trickster." I said.
"How do you know?" They said.
"I looked over the files. Now about the laptop and wallet those are easy. You left them back at base." I said. They both looked at each other.
"How long did you know we left our stuff at base?" Jesse said.
"I found your laptop on my desk with a note from Haven telling me she found it in the lounge." I said. "Your wallet was found in the kitchen again."
"Well then I guess we tricked ourselves into thinking we brought what we needed then." Jesse said.
"So how do we defeat a trickster?" Ace asked.
"Do not worry I got all the weapons we need for this case." I said holding up a bag with the stakes. "We just need to find the trickster before he claims another person. You gave the name Zach and Nigel. Does anyone have a grudge against either of them."
"I did find out from Olivia's bestie Tiff who hangs with the group that Nigel and his boyfriend broke up and that Nigel broke it off. He was tired of being treated poorly." Jesse said.
"Zach also broke up with a girl who was part of the group. We thought maybe she was a witch or something." Ace said.
"Then let's check out Nigel's ex first then we will find Zach's ex. Do you know Nigel's ex's name?" I asked.
"Luka Devon. He lives on the West side of campus and he seems to be a player." Ace said.
"He is obviously not our person. He seems like the opposite of most tricksters. He too noticeable." I said.
"Zach's ex's Catherine just came to town right before she got together with Zach." Ace said.
"Let's have a chat with Catherine then." I said as I head out the door. The two boy followed. We got to her house and I knocked on the door. A woman answered.
"Need something?" She asked.
"FBI." I said. "You are Catherine Lane?"
"Yeah." She said.
"Kat Lewis, your ex-boyfriend's sister passed away last night we want to know where you were and see what you might now about anyone who would want to harm Miss. Lewis or her partner." I said. She let us in.
"Sorry for the mess." She said as we entered the living room. There were candies on the table and wrappers around the bowl. I looked at her book shelf.
"Greek myths?" I asked.
"I am a huge fan of the classic myths." She said.
"Candy?" Jesse said.
"Every girl likes candy." She said looking at him curiously.
"Heard of the name Loki before." I asked.
"From the Norse myths? He is lame." She said.
"He was a great trickster." I said. Jesse smiled as he stood up and so did Ace. "You not so much." She smiled and snapped her fingers and a wolf came out of no where. I jumped over the wolf and stabbed her and she died. The wolf disappeared.
"They seem weaker then they act." Jesse said.
"She is not Loki. Loki is a difficult one." I said.
"Who is he?" Jesse asked.
"He is the one who kidnapped Gabriel." I said before we left. We head back to base. Upon arriving Caelum threw his bag in my car.
"Cael." I said. "No one drives my car, but me."
"Good because I need your help tracking down Loki. I got a idea on where he might be and how to get to him. Her name is Kali and she is apparently a old girlfriend of my father so she may want to help us find him." Cael said.
"Fine, but if this doesn't work then you are banned from field work until you get a good nights sleep." I said.
"Yes ma'am." he said before we left and headed for the border.
Layton
I called Emma and Ben into the room. Henry stood beside me. They all looked at me in shocked. They were probably expecting Laken to call them since I had made it sound like she need them.
"Where is Laken?" Ben asked.
"She is out of town on another mission." I said. "I needs some help with something I just found and I want no one to tell Laken."
"What could you need help on?" Ben asked.
"I found someone that is special to London. He is in town and we are going to capture him." I said.
"Who is it?" They asked.
"A mole." I said. "We have a spy on base and they are going to tell us everything they know."
The next chapter will be up in a few hours. Sorry for the wait my original version got deleted and I got so so mad and so I felt it was safer for me to step back and take a break. Next time on Woods Twins, Laken and Cael go on a goose chase to find his dad and Layton takes care of a mole. Who is the mole?
