The Protectors

Part 2

A person landed on a garbage bin and then jumped down again landing on the ground continuing to run down an alleyway. The person hid behind a few boxes of garbage and put a hand over their mouth. It was a young black guy with ripped up clothing from the thing he was running from.

When something landed right in front of him, he screamed, "Ahhh! No! Don't hurt-" The guy was cut off by the thing killing him quickly.

The next morning

Carter Stephens arrived on the scene of the murder of the young man. He saw the body sitting with slashes with blood all around him. He pulled out his phone as he went into his police car, "The darkness is among the city, did we make the right decision trusting Althea?" asked Carter.

"Probably not...just make sure the bodies stay covered up. We don't need the public knowing about any of this." Vinnie responded just as someone came downstairs in his big mansion. "I gotta to go, tell me more later." Vinnie told Carter. Hayden came around the corner and saw his dad standing over the counter holding a pan full of bacon.

"Hey Champ, do you want some bacon?" Vinnie asked while looking at Hayden.

"No thanks...I have to go to school early to retake a test that I got a lowish grade on." Hayden grabbed his bag as he kept himself contained from going off on his father for doing whatever he did to Kira, Hayden's girlfriend. He left the house and started to walk to school.

Hayden walked into school way earlier than anyone else today except for three other people. When he walked into the science lab, he saw Ella, Danny, and Malia all looking over a computer. Danny looked up seeing Hayden without Logan.

"Where's your brother?" He asked. Hayden went over to them while saying, "He is dealing with something else...I don't really know what he is doing."

"Brooklyn and Sora didn't want to believe that their parents are killers and Stella, just couldn't make it. Us four know now what they really are." Ella told them sternly.

"We aren't for sure yet, just have suspicions." said Malia. "They still could be good, I just have to prove it to you."

"Fine, we are trying to figure out if they are what I think they are, evil. When I'm right don't get butt hurt." Ella told the shy sweet girl who backed down into a seat in the classroom.

"After school, Stella said she would meet me at my family's company, so that I can do some investigating with her." Danny told the other three.

"Where is she right now?" asked Hayden. Malia looked over at Danny and Hayden who were talking about Stella.

At the crime scene, Stella was hiding behind a car watching her dad and his officers working on keeping people back while investigating the crime, she knew her dad knew what happened. When her dad, Carter Stephens, got into his car and drove away, she made her move.

Quickly, Stella snuck her way over to the scene going under the police tape and smiling at a lady officer who noticed Stella, "My dad forgot something...he told me to come get it, look his jacket." Stella said as she walked away from the officer going over to the jacket, but secretly pulled out her phone, pressing the record button.

"Look at that...the blood splatter is from a slashing manner." Stella muttered saying it to the phone. She recorded the body being put in the bag and then saw all the cuts and slashes on the body. She ended the recording when she saw an officer heading her way.

"I gotta go!" She called out holding her dad's jacket and she walked off as fast as she could. The officer just went back to his job after he thought Stella didn't do anything.
