Critter Volume 2 Chapter 8


“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! STOP! YOU CRAZY BITCH!” Lena screamed as she was being dragged out into the dark murky waters of Bon Temps. Julia and 3 other Sirens had her gripped as they came across a small rowing boat. They put Lena in the small pea shaped boat and Lena watched as scales began shooting out of their skin. Their eyes changed to a dark red color and Julia shot out her tongue which had grown a few inches and was licking her lips.

“Their going to find me! Warren is going to find me!” Lena said to Julia. The Siren swam down underwater sending her bottom fin splashing up in Lena’s face. Julia swam to the bottom, where seaweed that were as tall as a small tree, danced in the water. She ripped one out f the ground and swam to the top. When she arrived to the surface, she startled Lena “please! Just tell me what you want” she pleaded. Julia then licked the piece of seaweed with her mutant tongue and smacked it over Lena’s mouth. The weed wrapped around her mouth like a vacuum sealed package. “Now no one will hear you scream, when we take your baby”. Julia swam to the bottom to anchor the boat.

Julia then swam to an underwater cave where the Sirens have been hiding since they moved in on this little town. “SO NOW WHAT!?” another Siren yelled out “HUSH DANE!” Julia said as she pointed her jagged fingernail in his direction. There were 5 other Sirens in the cave with Julia. They answered to Dane, Scott, Brock, Wanita and Josh. Male Sirens were rare, but they are very powerful. Dane, Scott, Brock and Josh were the only Male Sirens in the area. “When are we moving in?” asked Dane “any day now” replied Julia. “I think it’s important that we call for others soon, they will need time to get here.” “Good idea Josh, why don’t you do that” Julia nodded as Josh dove into the water. “Are we sure she’s the one?” asked Wanita “Yes, I could feel it…she is the one to give birth to Pallas Athena, the one warrior that can destroy us for good, and the woman who carries her, will be sacrificed.”



Hours have gone by, and still nothing. Lauren cracked an old bottle of scotch she had since her parents passed away. She figured she would need something really strong for what’s about to come. The first glass went down in one gulp, so she poured another. The silence was broke by the sound of tires driving up her gravel driveway. The headlights shine through the drapes and drift along the refrigerator. The car door slammed shut and footsteps began in the direction of her front door. What came next, she wasn’t prepared for.

~Flashback to Yesterday~

“LAUREN STOP! WE ARE HELPING YOU WITH THIS!” Mitch screamed. Clayton came running in and shook hands with Warren, who was clearly in a horrible state. His girlfriend, and the mother of his unborn child were taken. Kelly ran in behind Clayton and wrapped her arms around Warren. “It’s so good to see you, don’t worry we’ll get her back” she whispered. Jordan kept watch incase of another Siren attack, Mitch and Warren listened as Clayton explained his plan. “Lauren, look at me…LOOK AT ME!” she turned her head to Clay with tear soaked cheeks and a puppy dog look on her face. “I have asked a friend to join us, trust me you can trust him okay?” he explained “okay” she replied as Officer Stackhouse walked into the room. “Thanks for the broken nose” he said with a smile “I’M SO SORRY! PLEASE I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!” she yelled, “I’ve seen you light up once before like that haven’t I? When that Dayna girl took me. So what are you?” he asked “I don’t even know” “well, for starters I know you didn’t kill Natasha, but I think you know who did, and you’re gunna turn em’ in. As long as you cooperate you could get out of this free of charges.” Stackhouse explained with a genuinely concerned look “HOW THE FUCK AM I GETTING OUT OF THIS! I DESERVE TO ROT IN PRISON!” she screamed, “It’s not like you pulled the trigger Lauren, he manipulated you” said Clay. After thinking for a few minutes, Laurens constant tears couldn’t stop her from saying what she had to say next “I WANT THAT MOTHER FUCKER IN JAIL!”

~Today~

When Chris walked through the door he through his pack on the ground and immediately swung around the table for a hug, when Lauren refused to even lift an arm to hug back he knew something was wrong. Chris could feel a tear hit the top of his shoulder “what’s wrong?” he asked as he brushed her hair away from her face. Lauren said nothing, just starred back into his eyes. Her hand began to light up and it shocked Chris’s hands “OW! WHAT WAS THAT!?”. Officer Stackhouse, Warren, Mitch, Clayton and Jordan stepped out of the shadows. Stackhouse had a gun pointed in his direction “what is this?” he asked “PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! YOU ARE UNDER ARRWST FOR THE MURDER OF NATASHA FUSARO” he said as he placed hand cuffs onto his wrists “you fuckin’ bitch…YOU FUCKIN’ BITCH YOU SET ME UP! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! YOU NEVER LOVED ME! I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!” Lauren simply walked up to Chris and raised her hand “Give it your best shot” she said as she lite him up sending him flying out the front door.

Lauren watched as Officer Stackhouse drove away with Chris in the back seat. Lauren had no idea where he put the body; she assumed they would find it. It was as if the worst part of her just disappeared. She felt a huge sigh of relief. The thought of Chris returning would always linger in the back of her mind, but she wasn’t going to live in fear, her parents always told her that fear only holds you back.

Lauren entered the kitchen, where Clayton, Kelly, Warren, Jordan, Rachel and Mitch, all with their own crazy abilities, surrounded her. “Now, let’s go get my family back!” stated Warren. A knock interrupted the group; Lauren approached the door and swung it open. Her heart felt like it fell out of her chest when she saw a mountain lion sitting in front of her, it then became a not so friendly face “you guys need a hand?” replied Kyle “I owe you that much”.
