With painstaking rumination the tips of his fingers grazed over my neck, a deafening silence. I didn't move as his hand paused at the base of my throat. He listened to the arrhythmic beating of my heart, my pulse thumping beneath his fingers. He kissed me along my neckline and throat reaching for my chest. I almost burst apart from the longing. My blood burned for him.

on because of his handsome and warm soothing face...they would stand in the hallway just to watch him pass by...funny right but yea...I guess we all do Crazy things for love. Back at the floggers home was a full house and somewhat family reunion, Carlus who had been missing since 1895 was back now...with newly turned lavadoras on the loose who knows what more to expect...are lavadoras taking over the town once more just like they did or would they be controlled?...nobody knows. "mmmm...yummy..I missed this" carlus exclaimed, the grapefruit at the floggers home was the best in the town...Carlus had grown up eating them so much..."so..do we skip to the part where you tell us where the fuck you've been since the purge?...greta asked...wrong question,you should even be surprised that am still alive till now considering the fact we all know what happened then...So tell us..what happened back then?

Alan asked? I don't think so...if they were trust me they'd be after us already...mmmmhhm guess we have to be prepared for them then.
At the O'oats diner Ramon had gone to order some food and J.K stared at him in a lustful manner which got stuart jealous...do you want him now?...he asked showing displeasure on his face...hey babe no not at all ( he chuckles) then what's that look huh? checking out his ass?...damn it stuart i don't know what the hell that's pissing you off but am sure as hell it's not about this J.K replied In a provoked manner...we've been dating for like a year now and you don't wanna come out to your parent's that you're gay, I mean what's so hard in it this is the 21st century...this is not a good place to talk about this lower your voice (J.K trying so hard to calm him down) suddenly, they heard the chairs shaking and a thud... someone was having seizures...they rushed towards him...it was wickins, he has been having these seizures since the night of the lavadora attack but kept it to himself. They took him to his house and went their way...Hermena who looked after him waited until he woke up. Tell me how long have you been having these seizures?...she asked...I don't know, 4 months ago or so but they weren't this serious, I would only black out for some secs and wake up...Hermena was angry that her son was keeping things from her...this wasn't the son she raised all though he'd had drug problems in the past but he's never been the type who keeps secrets...and it never occurred to you to tell us? she asked...Like I said,I thought it wasn't serious just...(Hermena interrupts) imma get you to the hospital let's run some tests and that's final...she can't take any chances with her son.
Sheriff Tobias had invited a witness who claimed to have seen strange activities which happened 4 months ago around the floggers home over to his office. Paula was there to write down and report whatever info they had gotten from whatever he said and publish it to the Oatcreek views. I was just coming back from the O'oats...I heard some voices...arguing talking about stuffs...there was this kid with his girlfriend who were talking to a monster like being with green eyes and long claws with long fangs then there was Alan floggers...this kid you talking about is this him? (sheriff Tobias shows him a picture of wickins) yea...that's him, I could barely hear what they were saying but one thing was clear to me...that thing they were talking to wasn't human, I know i've been attracked by one before paula added. Yea then I saw Alan grab him by the leg and bit off his neck...i mean it was very fast and I swear he changed to one of those things...Tobias looked at paula and laughed so hard...have you been drinking?...you're tryna say Alan isn't human?...I've always known something happened that night, wickins came back home looking all terrified like he's seen weird stuffs paula added. I swear I am serious...OK that'll be enough for today, time to get you home(he walks out with the man)so...do you think alan actually killed that thing cause am sure as well that the attacks has reduced Tobias asks paula...this man really saw something that night but am not sure he saw them with his eyes cleared...I've been dating alan for like 2years now if he had some certain abilities or secret identity i would know... let's hope he's blabbing on the alan part sheriff replied. Paula got a call from her mother for Wickins to be taken to the hospital...have to go now she said as she ran off.
With all the happenings in the town some people still had the urge to have fun...Lara Penberthy had Organized a little game night for Oatcreek high school students...being the daughter of the mayor she had some priviledges others couldn't. She has been going around the town inviting her friends and people whom she believes may have interests to the party, then she ran into Olivia...Olivia and lara had a chemistry as they have both kissed once during their early years in Oatcreek high but then when she met margreta(greta) things changed. Olivia was running on the streets with her headphones and jugging outfits listening to music when lara waved at her...hey,uhmn I'm kinda organizing a game night...was thinking maybe you'd c...(Olivia interrupts) sorry, won't be coming...common, Just for fun I promise you'll love it...lara tries to persuade her...I don't know whatever you think we are but you need to stop...we had an intimate moment in the past doesn't mean we have to continue and besides am with Greta now. Lara was hurt by these words,deep down she felt a thing for her but wouldn't want to show it because everyone she's her as that "awful mean girl'...I get it, am just inviting you as a friend that's all, after saying this she walked out.
On getting home, Paula found out that her car had no gas in it and there was no other option than to call Alan. They both took wickins to the Oatcreek general hospital for checkups. Wanna tell me why you've been ignoring me lately?...she asks looking at Alan...no,I haven't ...just that I've been having some personal issues...family personal issues...and these "issues" you couldn't share them with me huh?, I mean we are dating...couples share their problems together and find a solution to it but you...all you do is shut me out...Paula said these words trying to supress the tears that wanted to run down her cheeks...this was not the Alan she met two years ago he had changed...I don't see anything wrong with this boy ma'am...his pupils are little bit dilated,heart beat is normal and so is his temperature...the doctor interrupts.. you sure about that doc? alan asks....yes I am,you can come take a look at him. Alan had gone close to wickins suddenly he sensed a certain energy around wickins which was awkward...can you two leave us for some secs...I wanna talk to him(Paula & the doctor walked out) new scent,pale eyes & I guess your tooth gums must be scratching you real bad right now aren't they? yea, how'd you know that?
